| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Till Death Do Us Part Just Melissa. |
| 0:15.1 | It's a question that stops detectives cold. Not who, not when, but how many? When deputies knock on a quiet Florida |
| 0:25.5 | home and mention an ex-husband, the woman standing in front of them doesn't look confused. She |
| 0:32.4 | doesn't look shocked. She simply asks, which one? In that moment, investigators realize this isn't a domestic dispute. It's |
| 0:42.6 | something far darker. Two men, two counties, and one woman. And a single day that leaves two families |
| 0:51.3 | shattered. This is the case against Susan Avalon, a woman accused of killing two of her ex-husbands, |
| 1:00.4 | just hours apart, across Florida. |
| 1:04.1 | What investigators say happened that day unfolds like a carefully choreographed sequence, |
| 1:10.0 | one that begins not with a gunshot, but with |
| 1:13.1 | stolen food. To understand December 17, 2025, you have to go back, back to years of bitter |
| 1:21.7 | custody battles, unpaid child support, court deadlines, and resentment that never cooled. Susan Avalon had been |
| 1:31.1 | married multiple times. At least two of those marriages ended badly, marked by disputes over children, |
| 1:38.7 | money, and control. Now court records show there was an ongoing custody and support conflict, there was |
| 1:47.8 | financial pressure, and a looming deadline that could result in her driver's license being suspended. |
| 1:56.0 | People close to Susan later told investigators that she seemed different in the days leading up to December 17th. |
| 2:04.5 | One person, her live-in boyfriend, would tell police she said something chilling the night before. |
| 2:12.1 | She told him she loved him, saying, in case something happens to me. At the time, he didn't know what to make of it. |
| 2:21.2 | The next day, everything would make sense. It's just before 3 p.m. in Bradenton, Florida, when a man answers his front door, waiting outside of someone he knows well, his ex-wife. |
| 2:35.9 | Moments earlier, surveillance cameras captured Susan Avalon inside a nearby Panera bread. |
| 2:43.2 | She didn't place an order. She didn't pay. Instead, investigators say she took someone else's |
| 2:49.5 | food from the pickup shelf. |
| 2:51.9 | Police believe that food was part of a plan, a ruse, something to make the man open the door. |
