Summary

Susan Eyre was a beloved Sunday school teacher living in Modesto, California. She was set to be the maid of honor in her best friend's wedding - but tragically, she would not live to witness that special day. Susan was found murdered inside her apartment. Susan's virtuous lifestyle and close community made her investigation difficult at first. But when investigators began looking deeper into her inner circle, they would begin to suspect her best friend's fiancé of the crime. Retired Detective with the Modesto Police Department Jon Buehler looks back at the many twists and turns inside the investigation, and shares what made Susan's case particularly notable.
