SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio man has been arrested in connection with a murder case that has remained unsolved for more than four decades. Larry Allen West has been arrested and charged with the murder of Carol Joyce Deleon, according to an arrest warrant. “We’ve been suffering for over 40 years not knowing what happened to my sister,” said Carol's sister, Sandra Deleon. “The potential of what she could have been, what she could have been will never be known. We were robbed of that, she was robbed of that.” Deleon was last seen on June 3, 1981, at a night club in San Antonio. Investigators said she had just graduated from Thomas Edison High School a few days before she died. The next day, a body was found on the grassy shoulder of Interstate 35 North near a rest area south of New Braunfels in Comal County. At the time, Texas DPS said that investigators tried to identify the body from fingerprints and missing person reports in the area but weren’t able to identify her.
