the problem was they didn t know where cathy was. and the trial has to go on, no matter what. a few of the jury members actually came up to us and i wanted to ask, what was it in your mind made her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? because a lot of the evidence was circumstantial against cathy. so the jury members said, well, the one thing we had going for us is we looked out and saw that chair was empty. and we don t believe an innocent person would flee, that would not want to represent themselves in a trial. she s been on the run since last fall. perhaps living on an island paradise thousands of miles from a murder conviction here in chicago. the crime suh fled was the murder of fiance robert o dubaine. she was convicted. catherine suh, alias tiffany. she thought if she left, took off, changed her name that that
suits. he wanted the riches that other people had, but he didn t really know how to he didn t have a college degree. put him in a mercedes. to make him fit the part that she wanted him to be. he was a hard worker, but with the death of cathy s mother, some money started coming in through her mother s estate. they bought what came the club metropolis. success happened rather quickly. that was his business suit era, it was the last era of his life. he said i m going to be a new person and catherine reinvented him and he took it and ran with me. same with me. she molded me into who i had become. my identity is the one catherine developed for me. i didn t want to go to loyola. she said you will go to loyola academy, you will do football. you will be on student council. you will be popular, you go to
everything was dark. it was pouring rain that day. she shoved a brown paper bag into my hand and left me. inside the bag was a gun. it was like a couple of hours. i was constantly going through all these memories of catherine. the last memory i had was catherine telling me this story about my mom. we were at a restaurant, a japanese restaurant. i was leaving for college in a matter of weeks, and at that point, she looked at me and she s quiet and there you see almost a calm in her face where she s she wasn t herself. she s like, i have to tell you something. here s an interesting fact. all of andrew s parent s money, and it was a significant amount of money back then, goes to the son. catherine really didn t get anything. but what she got was control of andrew. before mom died, after robert got fired, we had a long
house had. so you can almost feel the change in their relationship. my brother rob was my best man at my wedding. cathy wasn t there at my wedding, and she would have been. so i knew something was wrong. i knew there was some fight that they had. my brother seemed affected by it. but he put up a good front, he put up a good show and gave me a toast. he was my best man. watched everybody dance, we got some good times in. but i had no idea that july 16th was the last time i d see my brother alive. the story began with the relationship between catherine suh and her boyfriend, robert o dubaine. that relationship broke down. there was an argument that the two had, and there was a business relationship between them that gradually deteriorated
worked on how can you let this man walk the streets knowing he murdered our mother? her mother was brutally murdered. someone sat on her chest and stabbed her repeatedly with a knife. this is not somebody walked in and shot her. you want to talk about brutal and heinous murders? imagine your sister telling you she figured out who had done this most horrible thing to your mother and andrew said let s just call the police. catherine said oh, no, if we call the police they ll call me an accomplice and we ll both go to jail. catherine was robert s alibi and robert was my sister s alibi. if he goes, i go, her words. she says, you have to get rid of him. you have to do it for mom. cathy s mother was stabbed 37 times in the face and neck. that s not a crime for $100 in
