Detective Carter

From Sterling Glen Apartments to Susanna home is probably only about a 15 minute walk.

To get home, Susanna would have exited the Sterling Glen Apartments through the back gate, taken a left on Singleton Road, and then traveled down Singleton Road and taken a left onto Santa Ana Drive where her home was located.

I was a homicide detective with Gwinnett County Police at the time of Susanna Morales' disappearance.

I worked on the same floor as the Special Victims Unit.

I heard them talking about it.

So, of course, I jumped in and I was asking questions.

There was something up with this that wasn't a typical case.

Somewhere after she walked past this parking lot,

Her phone changed directions and began going back towards the Sterling Glen Apartments at a speed that's consistent with her being in a vehicle.

And within less than a mile, a crash alert is received.

So this is the direction the 360 application was showing Susanna was going in at 40 miles per hour.

Then this is the area that it pretty much crashes out and round about here.

We checked to see if there were any accidents in that area.

There was no accidents reported in that area.

Given that there's no actual evidence of a car crash, our assumption is that her phone is thrown out the window out of a moving vehicle and that the phone is damaged or broken to cause the crash alert.

When you're looking at the 360 of her being in a car, you can see it from both ways.

And I saw it from both ways.

It can be someone took her or it can be that she ran away, so.

I knew she didn't run away.

She was on the way home and something happened.
