Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers, and I'm Britt.

And today, I am going to tell you all about the mysterious vanishing of college student Suzanne Lyall.

0:34.0

Our story starts in the state of New York in 1998, with 19-year-old college student named Suzanne Lyall,

0:52.0

and all of her friends and family called her Susie. Susie was super smart and driven, and she loved

computers. Like, could build her own computer back in 1998 when I could barely get through

1:05.5

Bayvus Began's typing class? Yeah, I'm not sure I had a computer in 1998, but to be the...

and she had found a computer club that met near her home. And her parents, it's so funny,

2:22.9

when they found out about this computer club at first, they were kind of sketched out because

2:26.8

they all met online, but we're going to meet in person, and they're not loving the idea of
