      My niece(husband’s niece) who was 16 was murdered & thrown in an abandoned yard. It took our family months to find her. We’ve always wondered did he do it because his MO is like the one they are describing took her life. It was months before this young lady’s life was taken.
      It’s still an unsolved case in GA but I’ve been watching to see if more cases involve him. He didn’t live far from my bro in law & his wife. We aren’t accusing him but her case is still unsolved.

    If his gun wouldn’t have been found near the body, chances are he would have never been a suspect. It’s no coincidence that his gun was found there and reported by him as stolen then next day. He clearly got sloppy and dropped his gun while out there dumping her body, and realized it while still there and couldn’t find it then went back the next morning to try to find it and couldn’t so he reported it missing. No coincidence he lived in the apt complex she was last seen at and no coincidence his cell phone pings places him where her body was found. You add that with his prior stalking of women and break ins showing a propensity of predatory behavior against women…. He’s guilty AF IMO.

      You’re mentally ill and you deserve to share a cell with Miles

      Princesssa.. I don't think that Susana was a good girl that never did anything bad . The information is saying Susana likes to have fun and smoke Marijuana and go out at night . Susana was too young to be doing things like that but, all this doesn't mean that anyone should have killed Susana. No one deserves death and worse a young girl that was only 16 years old . Susana's mother tried to prevent her from doing bad things but, you should know that a lot of teenagers don't want to listen to their parents so this isn't Susanas or her family fault . Susana should have been aware of the danger of her behavior but, she only wants to have fun . No one can blame Susana for her death . She didn't think about what kind of danger she was exposed by doing Marijuana etc.

      @Princessa. You can not be serious... I think you should delete your comment... I would hate her family to see it.

    What a horrible Dispatcher! She really starts saying there is stuff you're not obviously not telling me to Elasha Bates. She got lucky she didn't end up a victim. Can't believe that the police never showed up!

      Perhaps if they had taken her report serious this child would still be alive.
