ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – It’s been more than three decades since Lisa Wortman was found dismembered inside a manhole behind The Pit.

Now, her family is hoping someone might lead investigators to her killer. 30 years later, Lori Dibenedetto still misses her twin sister.

“She was fun and adventurous and fearless and really loved by everybody who knew her, or that seemed to be the case to me,” said Dibenedetto. 

June 6, 1994 would be the last day anyone would see or hear from Lisa Wortman. Wortman was found dismembered inside a manhole behind The Pit.

Albuquerque police say after 30 years, they are still trying to figure out what happened that night.

“Some of the stuff, they collected around the area where she was found, but it was also known as an illegal dump site,” said APD Cold Case Investigator Ida Lopez. 

Lopez is working the case today, and she says Wortman was known for throwing wild parties and running with that crowd might have put her in danger.

“It seemed like her spiraling into the drugs just happened really fast because she was living life, she was going to school, she was doing the right things,” Lopez said. “Lisa was desperately looking for things to sell because her addiction just was out of control. And then someone took advantage of that.”

Detectives say the last thing anyone knew about Wortman was that she was looking for a ride.

“I think it was about 11:30 at night and no one could give her a ride. She was also known to hitchhike,” said Lopez. 

“She’s given me a lot of new hope, and she’s very vigilant in her pursuit of finding who did this,” said Dibenedetto. 

Her sister isn’t giving up on justice.

“Even though it is 30 years old, the person who did it is still out there. So it would bring a lot of peace to myself and my dad, and her friends to know what happened, and why it happened. And for that person to be brought to justice for it,” said Dibenedetto. 

Dibenedetto says in the past couple of years more details have been released, but was not able to share them.

Albuquerque Crime Stoppers has also increased the reward to $9,500 for anyone who might have information.
