Detective Carter

They never gave up hoping.

I lived off their hope.

After my eight hours of work, I would still spend two to three more extra hours during our college Susanna time.

just driving around just to seeing if I could see Susanna sitting on a stoop or sitting at the playground.

Hoping that I would possibly see her just walking down the sidewalk.

I mean, my car doesn't really look like, I mean, a police car.

So I would actually go in plain clothes and just like camp out.

at some of these hotels.

And after a while, some of the criminals who do a lot of prostitution started noticing who I was.

This is the RV camp.

Someone said that they had thought they saw her, saw a sighting of her over here.

And then I just got into a routine that I would do the exact same thing.

And I would go from the hotels to here, to the businesses, to the apartment complex,

to Sterling Glenn.

I just kept doing the exact same thing over and over because I just felt that if I didn't do it, that would be the day that someone saw her.

It was a super hard time.

I was honestly really just trying to be strong for my mom.

He decided to disappear from my life.

To put it that way, it was over.

The longer that Susana remained missing, the bigger of a story this became in the local community.
