She wasnt very happy with ted and she was starting to make some good decisions to find some happiness again. And so by the spring of 2008, susie and the kids were living at the upon the ponderosa apartments. People noticed what susie was up to. Liked her, but noticed people thought of susie as someone who was going through a time sowing some wild out ats. She liked to have fun and she was having a lot of fun. Then it got to that friday evening in april. When she came in to see me, she was really happy and she had susie thing and that was great, so i k w something was up. So val watched as susie bourundertout the door while the two teenagers fended for themselves. And susie headed out on the town. This girl has got to have a date tonight.

But in the ponderosa apartments it was anxiety that infectedthhe air. 14yearold myra tried again and mother. Call me when you get this. But she never onc failedt o come home. Mariahs next calls as to her grandparents. She told grandma mom wasnt around. Sometimes you almost thought mariah was the mom and susie the ki because mariah was pretty grown up and smart. She was the somewhat more level headed one. Right. Soon phones were ringing all over. I thought this is silly. E she went somewhere, the kids forgot, and its going to be a funny hae ha. The kids were sufficiently independent to get themselves up and leave for their respective word. Silysterinlaw val hadnt heard yet that susie hasnt come home. We had a craft show in town and i thought she would want to come with me. When she didnt respond that morning, i thought that was kind of odd. When i was at the actual craft show is ohen i got the call from rusty. Rusty, vals husband, susies little brother. What did rusty say . He told me that the kids couldnt find susie when they woke up and that everybody was just really worried because this wasnt susie. She would never just not tell her children or be there for them. And she wasnt there. Vals next attempt to research ach susie wasnt quite so calm. I mean, what do you do . How do you find somebody . I was like i was going to backtrack als of her steps, and so o thats exactly what i did. Val made some calls. Found susie had been drinking with friends the night before until about 11 00 p. M. For when she heft for what was apparently a date with a new boyfriend, someone susie had just started seeing after her separation from her husband, ted. Vals mind was racing. I also thought she had maybe just fainted somewhere or had a still, when her mind mind mind settled, her first move was i thought had to go to teds. Maybe she was at teds and they had an argument and she couldnt answer the phone. Ted casey pleaded guilty to assaulting susie six months before. Thats why she moved off the ranch to the apartment, but when val arrived at teds place. You could tell it was dark and there was no cars there. It was like an eerie feeling. I just felt like i couldnt get out of the car by myself. So she decided to leave and picked up her husband rusty. The two of them got a key to susies apartment. They opened the door and heres what they found. This was a videotape the police made later. As we kind of walked through the apartment and really realized that she wasnt there, again that adrenaline burst something isnt right. Something isnt right. Its empty. Shes not there. Shes gone. Shes not here, yeah. So val decided to go find that new boyfriend susie had a date with. The last person to be seen with her. His name was brad. He would know where she was. Brad lived with his soontobe exwife less than five minutes from susies apartment. Val drove over and knocked on the door. I said susies not home. We cant find her. Shes not answering her calls and were all really worried. Then i remember exactly what he said to me. What do you mean she isnt home . I dropped her off at 5 00 a. M. Thats when it hit were going to the police. Somethings not right. It certainly wasnt. The man whose marriage was breaking up the last man to be with her didnt know a thing. Really . Coming up susies new boyfriend fields a few questions down at the station. Did you ever wonder about brad and whether he was capable of any bad thing . When she went missing, i wondered about everybody. Everybody was a suspect. Wherever the journey takes you, carry American Express gold. It s more than a card. It s the gear that gets it done.

And maybe in some big city somewhere susies absence wouldnt have raised the alarm quite so fast, but here Olivia Ringer was a young lawyer then. You have to be kidding. This is glendive. Shes got to be around somewhere. But when susies brother and sisterinlaw roared around town looking, it only made them more upset. As a kid, when youre things you didnt have. I just always wished i had a big sister, and when i met susie, she was she was my big sister. And i guess i just never imagined she wouldnt be in my life. That afternoon, val and her husband rusty drove over to the Glendive Police department. They sat down with then captain now chief, ty ulrick. They said susie always answers her phone twice. They were keenly aware of susies history. The abuse six months prior at the hands of soontobe exhusband ted casey. Disappeared said value, susie was with another man, a guy named brad, who she said she was crazy about, and who had to have been the last person she had seen before she vanished. Did you ever wonder about brad and whether hechs was capable of any bad things . When she went missing, i wondered about everybody. Everybody was a suspect. Your mind continues to play and play and play different scenarios of what could have happened and where she is. And well, that question remained unanswered. Brad holzer came in for an interview. Brad told the police that he and susie actually had quite a long history. How long have you known susie . Well, we went out in high school. Okay. She was 16. I was 19. Probably went out for a couple of months is all. Then they lost touch for nearly two decades until st. Patricks day 2008 just three weeks before she disappeared when their eyes met at a bar downtown. Out of the blue, came up to me. I knew who she was right away. Recognized her immediately. And in the weeks since, brad said he and susie spent every possible moment together, though given their kids and their respective tangled marital issues it was complicated. The night before she disappeared, said brad, susie had been drinking with a couple of girlfriends before he picked her up and they drove out of town to sit by the Yellowstone River. Then thats where we were going on 10 45 until 11 00 until 5 00 a. M. We drove out there and parked and did the same thing we usually did. Talked, kissed, stuff like that. It was just about 5 00 in the morning, said brad, when he drove back to town and he parked across the street from susies apartment. Did you guys make out . Minutes. She got out, walked back to her across the street to her apartment. I know she was at least halfway across the street before i started backing out. Brad swore he drove straight home and went to bad. Then brad cast suspicion elsewhere. Brad, do you know where susans at . I have no idea. I wish i did. Where do you think she is, if you had to guess . My guess would be ted. There was one more thing, said brad. Somebody sent him a weird email the morning before he has last date with susie. Maybe ted was behind it somehow. It reads, hows your girlfriend . How does your wife feel about it . The sender a Denise Johnson. Still in the dark as to who Denise Jackson is. That made the cops ears perk up. Theres somebody out there. Some jealousy probably. I needed to find out who sent those emails. So they told brad dont leave town, and they set out to talk to susies soontobe ex, ted casey. Coming up, the scorned husband in the interrogation room. Your thoughts about ted were not very friendly ones at that point. No. Before fibromyalgia, i was active. I was a doer. Then the chronic, widespread pain slowed me down.

Toyota. By the sunday of that anxious weekend in april 2008, the whereabouts of susie casey was a local preoccupation in glendive, montana. There was a lot of talk about, oh, yeah, we saw her walking down the street sometime. Maybe someone picked her up. The young attorney couldnt help but hear what people were saying. Did she go home with someone . Did she drive off somewhere . Susies mother was afraid something awful had happened, and for the second time she called sister car lean two hours away in north dakota. And thats when i knew something was really, really wrong, so we packed up suitcases and headed to glendive to see what we could do to help to find her. But where could they look . It is the size of delaware. Far more hunting places than that are people. We had a few pings off of cell phone towers. We had horse back. We had fourwheelers, airplanes, helicopters, people on foot, and nothing. Susies chevy trailblazer for any sort of evidence. Same in her apartment. And found nothing. Nothing of particular importance anyway. Then they had a look around outside susies Apartment Building and found something kind of curious. A couple of curious things actually. One was a shoe print in the alcove of the building next door to susies place. 40 or 50 feet away, looked like something had been dragged, something heavy along the ground near the dumpster. Did either of those things have anything to do with susies disappearance . Maybe the rejected husband could tell them. Ted casey. The morning susie vanished, he went to work, helped his brother with a project, then went to a rodeo. So by the next day, police were very eager to talk to ted. Your thoughts about ted were not very friendly ones at that point. No. Ted had reasons to be upset the woman was leaving him. He was angry, humiliated. A costly divorce was looming. Child support to pay. First, they asked ted about that incident in the bar the night they arrested him and put him in jail. I poured a drink on her head. Barely slapped her because she threw herself on the ground and we were both drinking. It just happened. But, you know, i suppose you get to such a so much pressure and after a while, it explodes. Explodes . That was a curious thing to say. Ted insisted he had last seen susie about 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 that he confronted susie on the phone a couple hours later after receiving a strange phone call himself around 9 00 p. M. Just that. Brad holzer or whatever has been screwing your wife. Click. Brad holzer, susies boyfriend of three weeks. What did you think about that . Well, i wasnt very happy. I mean, i called her up and said, hey, whos this brad holzer or whatever . I said, i just got a call that youve been doing him. Oh, no, no. Id never do that. Ive never cheated on you. I said we are still married even though were not living together. And i just hung up the phone. Well, she called me right back. Then she admitted that she knew the guy. She knew who he was. And that was about the end of the conversation. Was he upset . Yes, of course, he said he was and yet ted told his interrogator he fell asleep right away. Do chores and drop off his girls with a babysitter and meet a coworker at city hall by 6 00. I was thinking it was like 10 ten to 6 00 or something when i got there. Ted drove past susies apartment. He admitted as much on his way to that meeting at city hall. Put him around her front door minutes from when she went across the street dishevelled. As the Glendive Police department checked out the story, ted went home to look after the two youngest girls who are living with him fulltime why mariah and shea went to live with val and her husband. Mariah was just tormented. It was just really, really hard for her. Harder and harder for everyone as day after day the search for susie produced nothing. As time went on, it was clear that she wasnt around anywhere, so it was just a really scary time. What were those days like . They were pure hell. You just sat and wait and wait for the phone to ring. Then nearly a month after susies disappearance it did. Coming up the hardest day of my life. A horrifying discovery down by the river and another discovery down at the station. Brad holzers wife. What was she doing there . Honestly, am i a suspect . Walgreens. At the corner of happy and healthy. Craving the taste of chocolate but watching calories . Introducing light fit greek with chocolate on top. So chocolatey good. You won t believe it s 100 calories.

At that point, were changing from missing persons to homicide. Susies family gathered at val and rustys house.
