her front door. she never made it. we can t explain what happened in those 20 steps. it just didn t make sense to me. a working mom murdered. it was hard to imagine that anybody would be capable of something like that. reporter: police started with the men in her life. was one of them behind her death? everybody was a suspect. the estranged husband. you know you are a person of interest. the ex. oh susie where are you? the brand new boyfriend. and the unbelievable thing, they were all there the morning of the murder. so who did it? my stomach was in my throughout. all of us were a little taken aback. it was hard for my brain to wrap around that. the spring air was a cold blanket around the pickup reporter: it was early morning. still dark. the spring air was a cold blanket around the pickup parked an runs near the main street of little glendive, montana. at 5:20 a.m., the passenger side door opened, the woman got out and made it to her apartment.
so i called the barnes firm. llll theararnes rmrm now the best result possible. people disappear all the call one eight hundred, eight million time in america. many of them turn up again. and maybe in some big cities some were susie s absent wouldn t have raised the alarm
her. his name was brad holzer. he would know where she was. brad lived with his soon to be ex-wife less than five minutes away from susie s apartment. val drove over and knocked on the door. i said, susie s not home. we can t find her. she s not answering our calls and we re all really worried. and i remember exactly what he said to me. he said, what do you mean she s at home? i dropped her off at 5 am. that s when it hit that we re going to the police, something s not right. it certainly wasn t. a man whose marriage was breaking up, the last man to be with her, didn t know a thing? really? coming up. susie s new boyfriend feels fields a few questions down at the station. did you guys make out or anything, before probably five minutes, yeah. before she exited the truck? yeah.
we drove out there i m parked. and we do the same thing we usually did. talked, kiss, stuff like that. it was just about five in the morning, said brad, when he drove back to town and parked across the street from susie s apartment. did you guys make out or anything, before? probably for five minutes, yeah. before she exited the truck? yeah. she got out, walked back to her across the street to her place. like she normally does. i know she was at least halfway across the street when i turned and started backing out, so she was that close to getting into that apartment. brad swore he drove straight home and went to bed. and then brad cast suspicion. elsewhere. right do you know or susan s at? i have no idea where she is. i wish i did. okay. where do you think she is, if you had to guess? my guess would be ted . i can t help but think he had to be behind this somehow. and there was one more thing, said brad.
with the woman who is leaving him. he was angry, humiliated. a costly divorce was looming. charles support to play pay. first, they asked about that incident in the bar on the night they arrested him and put him in jail. i dumped a drink on her head. you know, barely slapped her, because she threw herself on the ground. i mean, we were both drinking. and you know, didn t mean to. it just happened. but, you know, i suppose you get to sochi so much pressure. and after a while it explodes. explodes? that was a curious thing to say. ted insisted he last saw susie around 7:00 the evening before she disappeared. when she dropped off the two little girls at his house for the night. but ted did admit he did he confronted susie on the phone a couple hours later. after receiving a strange phone call himself around 9 pm. and what was said?
