This could either be that she got into a vehicle, right, with someone she knew, willingly,

or yes it could be that she was taken by force but the family wouldn't give up they post up missing posters and they the mom goes on facebook and she starts desperately pleading for information and she does interviews by the way with with local spanish-speaking media so they're just desperately getting the word out about this missing daughter

was a family man himself he has a 16 year old daughter he's married to a to a hispanic woman he could see the pain uh in maria and he just didn't want to give up he even worked weekends on this case because he connected with them and and up to this point there was no solid evidence of an abduction now there were no witnesses no suspects so they had very little to to to go on

Yes, yes.

The skeletal remains were scattered throughout the woods in that area.

Remember, her body had been out there months.

There was exposure to the elements.

There was decomposition, animal activity in the woods after all, right?

No clothing or personal items belonging to Susanna were found at the scene.

Nothing was found.

And the medical examiner could not even determine an exact cause of death.

Also, because of all that decomposition, there were no body fluids or blood recovered at the scene.

But what they did find, Deborah, were fingernails painted black.

It was the color of Susanna's nails the night she went missing.

And also at the scene, they suddenly find a critical piece of evidence, a Glock 19 handgun.

This man, Miles Bryant, was not only a member of the Doraville Police Department, he was also a member of the Army National Guard.

And what's more, he lived and he worked

at the same apartment complex where she had visited her friend and from where she had disappeared.

They were just shattered.

They were heartbroken.
