Who was Susan Galbraith and how did she become involved in the murder case?
Susan Galbraith wasn't a journalist or a cop. She was a housewife in Mayfield, Kentucky. But after a black teenager named Jessica Curran is murdered in town, Susan takes it upon herself to find witnesses who can point to a killer. She was just wasting away until she jumped onto this and she thought this was going to be her magic star and she was going to be a hero. But that's not what happened.
I was learning in real time the lies. There was a lot of lies.
What were Susan's real motives for trying to solve this murder? She wasn't in it to help them find the killer that killed their daughter. Why then did local cops and the Kentucky State Police take her seriously?
That was known that she was getting funds from them.
Susan's son is wrestling with his mother's legacy to this day.
I mean, my mom was, I use the word diabolical, to know that she possibly covered up a murder for somebody.
And perhaps the biggest question of all, did she help convict an innocent man?
I do feel like that they got the wrong people. Covered up a murder, diabolical. There was a lot of lies.
