UPDATE: Gloria Schulze found deceased in Canada

[unsolved243]

Another case from the show has been closed. Gloria Schulze was featured on the April 19, 1996 episode. She had been charged with manslaughter in the death of Angela Maher. On the night of July 29, 1994, Angela had been driving to pick up a friend in Scottsdale, Arizona, when she was struck by Schulze, who was driving drunk. Ironically, Angela had been an advocate against drunk driving and had established a chapter of SADD, or "Students Against Drunk Driving", at her school. In September 1995, Schulze disappeared while out on her own recognizance.

Recently, an investigator spoke to Schulze's brother and learned that the brother had received an anonymous phone call; the caller said that Schulze had recently died from cancer in Yellowknife, Canada. The investigator discovered that Schulze had been living under the name "Kate Dooley" and had died on December 1, 2019. The RCMP located "Dooley's" fingerprints from a 2009 arrest for DUI. The FBI and RCMP compared the fingerprints to Schulze's known fingerprints. They were a match.

Scottsdale PD found the drunk driver accused of killing a woman in 1994. But they'll never serve time in prison.

Not really-she never spent a day in jail. She was released right away, failed to comply with her bail conditions of drug testing-yet nothing was done about that. Didn't show up in court & was able to live her life for another 25 years.

Even when police arrested her for another DUI 15 years back her prints weren't checked, or were they even in the database? Did they even take them in 1994? They didn't even charge her parents for aiding & abetting her by selling her two cars & no doubt sending her the cash. Total incompetence.

I couldn’t agree more. There is nothing satisfying about this ending other than knowing she can no longer be a danger to others on the road. There is no justice. There is no karma.

What struck me most about this entire saga, other than how law enforcement in Arizona barely even treated this as a crime, was the complete lack of remorse on Gloria’s part. Even Angela’s mother pointed this out in the courtroom to the judge. And now we have confirmation that she never cared about killing another human being since she continued to get DUI’s while on the run in Canada. The wake-up call never came to her. In the end, no remorse and no consequences.

Angela’s brother mentioned during the segment that the healing process cannot begin until they know Gloria is behind bars. My heart breaks even more for them now.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — A fugitive wanted in connection with a deadly DUI crash from 1994 in Scottsdale has been located years after she changed her name and fled to Canada, police say, marking the end of a three-decade-long cold case.

The Scottsdale Police Department confirmed Tuesday that Gloria Schulze, who was a 31-year-old resident of Scottsdale, fled to Yellowknife, Canada, where authorities learned that she had been using the name “Kate Dooley” to evade police. However, Schulze died from cancer in 2019.

The collision happened in north Scottsdale on the night of July 29, 1994, when 21-year-old Angela Maher was on her way to Old Town Scottsdale to pick up a friend. She died in the crash.

Investigators researched and found a tribute for a woman named Kate Dooley, which resembled a rendering of what Schulze would likely look like present day.

Cohen contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who confirmed that Dooley had been arrested in 2009 for a DUI and that her fingerprints were on file. The detective then sent a fingerprint card to the FBI, which passed the request to INTERPOL and ultimately handed over the fingerprints to Canadian authorities.

On April 17, 2024, Scottsdale police were notified of matching fingerprints, confirming that Kate Dooley was, in fact, Gloria Schultz. Scottsdale police say the 30-year-old case is now closed.

Another DUI in 2009… and that’s just one she got caught for.

When someone flees, there’s a small part of me that tries to rationalize it by hoping the person thinks about what they did, and are trying to live a better life. But not these piece of garbage.

I really hope it at least brings Angela's family some peace that Gloria's whereabouts are at least known now. Angela seemed like a beautiful person, inside and out, who touched many people during her life. I am sure that after her death, many viewers of the UM segment were also impacted by her story and crusade against drunk driving. I hope that knowledge gives comfort to her family.

Very sad she killed someone and fled.............

******* *****!!! (self censored)

This is not the updated I wanted to this one. What has always enraged me most is that I was certain her family helped her flee and or go into hiding.

Screw her brother, too, frankly. There is no way he didn't know where she was this whole time. He's not a hero for letting it be known after her death.

Dammit!

[soilentgreen]

Good riddance.

She evaded any and all consequences for what she did to Angela and the Maher family, to the extent that, despite being a fugitive, she continued to endanger other people's lives.

[DALLASTEXAN!!]

I agree with those that are upset. I am happy for Angela's family. They finally have closure. I'm sure that is important to them. there was a long time where we didn't even know if they would get any closure. with that said Gloria got away with it and lived another 30 years without any accountability.

Canada is a vast and mostly remote country and it makes me wonder how many American criminals fled there and got away. I know Richard Bocklage comes to mind. I still hope he is located.

I recently watched a documentary of a toronto man who murdered multiple women in his younger days and fled to Moosonee Ontario where he basically started a new life. he was a well respected citizen in Moosonee and was eventually captured through ancestry DNA. I think he was in his 20's when he committed the murders and he was in his 60's when he was finally captured. Authorities allegedly claim that they were pretty sure it was one of his brothers that committed the murders as they were going one by one through each DNA test. goes to show how people can somehow get away.

I agree with those who note that it would have been better, of course, if she had been caught and tried for her crime.

But also, I agree with this. Gloria died at a young age - 56 - of a disease that is a slow and malicious killer. Anyone who has seen someone go through it know what torture it is, for the person going through it and their caretakers.

By 1994 standards, she would have probably spent less than five years in prison for the accident. Can't prove it would have turned out this way of course, but living to 80 and dying peacefully in one's sleep but having done a stint of five years in prison is probably preferable, on balance, to skipping prison but only by relocating to another country and having to abandon everything and everyone you ever knew, then dying at 56 and probably spending the last two years of that racked by constant pain and/or the ravages of chemo, radiation, and likely both, ending life bed ridden and unable to care for oneself.

Her end, while not satisfying for the story, was likely one that would be deemed cruel and unusual were it intentionally inflicted.

I can't call her dying karma, even if I believed in such a phenomenon. She just...died. Like everyone who ever lives will eventually.
