Crime Stoppers seeks help solving 1979 slaying of NMSU student
Sun-News report

LAS CRUCES — Las Cruces Crime Stoppers is seeking help in solving a 1979 case that involved the slaying of a New Mexico State University student.

On Oct. 4, 1979, 39-year-old Ann Billings was found murdered in her apartment at 505 W. Griggs Ave. in Las Cruces. Billings had recently moved from Silver City to Las Cruces and was attending classes that fall semester at NMSU, according to the Las Cruces Police Department.

Billings was last seen alive, by her parents, around 8:15 a.m. on the morning of Oct. 1, 1979. Billings then failed to attend her 9:30 a.m. class the same day.

Her body was discovered several days later with a fatal stab wound to her torso.

The killer was never found, but Las Cruces police believe the homicide is now solvable because of the amount of evidence recovered at the scene and recent advances in forensic science.

Anyone with information relating to the case should contact Las Cruces Crime Stoppers: 526-8000 or (800) 897-2746.

The group is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the killer.

The hot line is operational 24 hours per day, and callers can remain anonymous and still collect the reward.
