DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – A grand jury has indicted a former Lyft driver in the August sexual assault, robbery and gruesome murder of 22-year-old Sara Hudson in the Lower Greenville Avenue area of Dallas.
49-year-old Glen Richter was indicted on a Capital Murder By Terror Threat charge.
According to court documents, prosecutors said Richter kidnapped, robbed and sexually assaulted Hudson before shooting her in the head and putting her body in an SUV before setting the vehicle on fire.
Hudson had just moved to Dallas for work after graduating from the University of Arkansas.
She was killed August 19th, the night before her birthday, while her family and friends were waiting for her at a nearby restaurant to celebrate the occasion.
The Hudson family released the following statement after the indictment was handed down.
“We are aware of the grand jury’s indictment today of Glen Richter for the capital murder of our beloved Sara. Her tragic death weighs heavily on our hearts and minds each and every day. It is important to respect the rule of law, including the grand jury’s decision and the legal path forward that will allow justice for Sara. It is in that spirit that we intend to honor and respect all involved – from Sara, to the Dallas Police Department and the personnel at the District Attorney’s office, to the courts and citizens tasked with their obligations in the judicial process. We will make no further comments, at this time, to ensure the integrity of the court process. We pray without ceasing about Sara, all those touched by her death and, now, this legal process. We miss her now and will forever – knowing so many others do, too.”
