Time is Running Out to Uncover Truth Behind Liz Barraza's Slaughter Seven Years Later
As the anniversary of Liz Barraza's brutal murder approaches, her father Robert Nuelle says he has only a short time left and is desperate for justice to be served. The 29-year-old was shot and killed in January 2019 outside her home, where she was preparing for a garage sale. Her parents have spent years pleading for information, but the case remains unsolved.
Nuelle himself is now facing a terminal diagnosis with stage four esophageal cancer that has spread to various parts of his body. The once-thin man has lost 150 pounds and relies on a feeding tube, but despite his declining health, he remains resolute in his determination to find out who killed his daughter.
"It's in God's hands," Nuelle says, "but I want people to see the bar is raised. There is a sense of urgency. I have a sense of urgency." The difference between then and now is stark – what once swallowed him has now become unrecognizable.
The case remains a source of frustration for investigators, who believe that Liz's murder was carefully planned. With no clear motive or reason for the targeted killing, it appears to be a complex case with little evidence pointing to her killer. The only clue being a dark-colored Nissan Frontier spotted in the neighborhood on the day of the murder.
Despite numerous pleas from the family and investigators, there is still no one behind bars. Harris County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Michael Ritchie says that technology will play a key role in cracking the case, but he also acknowledges that someone must know something about the crime.
The Nuelle family is counting on this – they have put up a $50,000 Crime Stoppers reward for information leading to an arrest. And for Bob Nuelle, his one wish remains simple: "If you ever needed to pull on your heartstrings... A 67-year-old man dying and not knowing who shot his daughter."
For those with any information about Liz Barraza's murder, the door is open – contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online anonymously.

Can't believe no one has cracked this case yet? I mean, what kinda system allows someone to get away with this? Nuelle's right, the bar's gotta be raised and people need to step up! 
67 years old and still no answers? That's just not fair. The investigators are saying tech will help, but come on, we're living in the 21st century already! 
What's taking so long?! And the fact that there's only a dark-colored Nissan Frontier as the only clue... 
yeah, that's not exactly rocket science. But I guess when you've got someone like Nuelle who's basically giving up his last breath, it makes the case even more urgent. 
Someone needs to step in here and help this family get some answers! 
they've been through so much already and now they're facing this incredibly tough time with their dad's health decline... it's just not fair that justice hasn't been served yet 
Liz's murder was senseless & tragic, and I'm sure it's eating away at her parents every single day 
but let's keep a positive vibe going - if anyone has any info, PLEASE come forward & help bring some closure to this family 
they deserve it!
... but at least crime stoppers is offering a pretty big reward, maybe someone will come forward with some info 
... i don't think nuelle himself should have to die before they find out who did this tho he's still got heart and a strong sense of determination 
. I'm so frustrated that the family is still waiting for answers – it's like a never-ending nightmare 
.
. The fact that there's no clear motive or reason for the killing makes it even more baffling 
. Instead, he's left with only his desperation and a plea for help from all of us 
.
. If you have any information, please, for the love of all that is good, come forward 
.
like who even still buys old vases from garage sales anymore? anyway, back to this case... 50k is a decent reward but i feel like it should be more since it's been 7 years already 
.
. Crime Stoppers is offering a sweet reward, but I'm guessing that just isn't enough motivation for some people... I mean, 50 grand? Not bad, but still, someone's gotta know something 
. And now, with Robert Nuelle's terminal diagnosis looming over us, it's like time is literally running out 
.
. I mean, come on, a dark-colored Nissan Frontier and that's it? What's the point of having a Crime Stoppers reward if nobody's gonna use it? It's all about priorities, folks. The Nuelle family is getting desperate, but what's more desperate - their son's terminal cancer or the fact that Harris County Sheriff's Office can't get their act together? 
liz barraza was only 29 and now her dad is dyin from cancer 
i feel so bad for the nuelle family, especially bob, he must be losin his mind thinkin about what happened to his daughter
