Dr. Lindley Dodson identified as Austin hostage victim

For years, Dr. Lindley Dodson eased the anxieties of new parents and coaxed small children into routine medical procedures like shots, and more recently, COVID-19 tests.
The 43-year-old pediatrician operated a thriving Central Austin practice with several other doctors, while keeping a constant presence at school activities and other functions for her three children who are 5, 7 and 11. 
Austin police on Wednesday identified Dodson as one of two people found dead at her office after being taken hostage by another pediatrician, Dr.  Bharat Narumanchi. Narumanchi was the other person found dead.
As news of her death swept through Austin late Tuesday and early Wednesday, her family, friends and patients were anguished by her loss. They talked about the rapport she built with them, many speaking about her through sobs and paying tribute to their special parent-pediatrician relationship.
