(Above photo credit: FBI.Gov) Unknown suspects are being sought in connection with the murder of an employee of the West Los Angeles Veteran's Administration (VA) Medical Center in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, California. On June 8, 1989, Donald Wegner, an Electrician at the VA, was the first person to arrive for work at the VA laundry building at approximately 5:30 a.m. as was his routine. Wegner's co-workers, who arrived for work and were still sitting in their cars, saw him enter the building, but they saw no one enter behind him. Approximately 20 minutes later, another co-worker entered the laundry building and found Wegner lying on the basement floor. Wegner was bleeding, but still alive, however, he died before paramedics arrived. An autopsy determined that Wegner was beaten to death and that he had a lacerated liver and a fractured skull. A murder weapon was never found, and no suspects were identified. Thoughts? Not a lot to work with. In 2011, there was a (probably unrelated) murder of a groundskeeper at the same campus, leading to some veterans affairs advocates to claim that the VA downplays incidents.

It’s unfortunate the FBI took this off of their Seeking Information page, but I believe this case is highly solvable. When this was originally posted on the FBI’s website 7-8 years ago, the Agent assigned to the case said she did have the killer(s) DNA. The question is who did the DNA belong to, and I suspect DNA genealogy will help solve this case.

I was unaware this case was taken off the FBI website. As you stated, it is unfortunate but it also a solvable case.

I’m almost wondering if the killer(s) were employees at the VA. That’s what the FBI at least seemed to imply. They didn’t mention forced entry in the case description, and they said other employees saw him enter the building.
