Hey everybody welcome back to co-case murder mysteries I'm your host Ryan Kraus dragging

you down into the abyss of the human mind once again to explore the fascinating

yet terribly tragic case of Canika Powell, a vicious murder which not only remains unsolved

to this day, but also mostly forgotten because it's been baffling since day one, nearly

devoid of evidence. Everywhere you turn in this case, there's a dead end. So let's put on our

killers by way of desire, timing, and professional qualities such as planning, execution, and discretion.

dissected the kettie murders and the social implications inherent in that

situation, we'll apply the same thing here and find we have a nearly

polar opposite situation.

Whereas Sue Sharp had five children, and few options for career prospects, leaving her forced

to raise her kids under conditions conducive to regular contact with men who indulge criminal activity, including violence and drug dealing,
