Validia Wage, a 56-year-old Caucasian woman, was found murdered in her Wichita home at 441 N Santa Fe on the last day of 1982. The cause of death was ruled strangulation. No suspects have ever been publicly identified, and no arrests were made in connection with her homicide.

Her murder remains one of more than 200 unsolved homicides managed by the Wichita Police Department Cold Case Unit. Investigators hope advances in forensic technology or new tips from the public might eventually resolve the case and provide answers to her family and the community.

If anyone remembers Validia, her routines, visitors to 441 N Santa Fe around the end of 1982, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
