- Details of Disappearance:
- Susan disappeared in Port Orange, Florida, on June 10, 1975. She was walking home from her school bus stop alone (she usually walked with a friend) when a witness saw two men force her into a dark blue Chevrolet van with orange curtains and the word “Aries” on the side. One man was around 22, the other around 30.
Years later, serial killer Gerald Stano confessed to killing Susan. He admitted to killing many women and often showed police where their bodies were. Stano said he gave Susan a ride, then strangled her. He showed police where he left her body, but the area was built over, so it was never found. Although Stano confessed to Susan’s murder and many others, he wasn’t charged in most of those cases, including Susan’s. He was executed in 1998. Because of the witness testimony and Stano’s confession, police believe Susan was murdered.
