Our card this week is Susie B. Timmons, the nine of diamonds from New York.

It was March of 2020 when major crimes investigator Seth Carr was handed the unsolved case of 17-year-old Susie Timmons.

The summer of 1982, Susie was discovered stab and beaten in a vacant lot north of downtown

They showed up and they did not locate a victim or a complainant for that matter.

Nothing more happened.

And that report probably would have been a standalone, forgotten about and tossed aside, if not for a second call that came in around noon the next day. Now, this one seemed to be from a different caller,

but it was incredibly similar. They said they'd found a body of a woman in a vacant lot.

They were checking the vacant lot south of the railroad tracks

and discovered the body of a young black female face up between piles of dirt.
