Summary

Our Unsolved South continues with the 1986 cold case homicide of Susie Walker Quinn, a beloved  wife and mother, and community member from Macon County, GA. 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. 

 The Fall Line's newest season takes you through three cold cases in two states over the course of six episodes: two unsolved homicides and two disappearances spanning four decades, and all desperately in need of your attention for resolution.
