Susie’s family had deep roots in Montzeuma, Oglethorpe, and surrounding towns—but no one came forward with the information needed to solve her murder.

0:00.0	Over the past few months, we've had several families ask that we re-release older episodes
0:05.0	because they've seen the response that others have gotten in the past year, and we always try to honor that,
0:11.0	whether it's during our mid-season or in the summer when we revisit past cases.
0:16.0	This week, we're re-releasing our episode covering the unsolved murder of Susie Walker Quinn. She was killed
0:22.3	nearly 39 years ago in Macon County, Georgia, and her homicide remains unsolved, though there
0:28.0	has been an update since we released our coverage. In October of 2024, WALB reported that the
0:34.9	GBI, that's the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, had begun new testing in Susie's case.

2:03.3	she graduated in what Cold Case Project describes as the top 10% of her class. And her children,
2:10.4	Ricardo and Clarissa, tell us that she had many friends. She was even close with the local sheriff's
