Summary

1992 - Limington, Maine. Susan Hannah was a free spirit. Her family recalls her “ditty-bopping” in and out of the three different homes on Snow Road in Scarborough that they occupied. She was always out and about at the beach and in nature. She loved to feed the birds in her backyard, and they would even land on her outstretched arm, unafraid. Susan disappeared on the evening of Saturday, April 18th, 1992 and her family knew right away that something was wrong. Police turned their eyes toward her husband, Jon Hannah, against whom she had recently secured a restraining order. 18 months later, her body was discovered in a rural part of Maine, an hour west of where she lived. Once the police ruled it a homicide, the hunt was on to find her killer.
