Susan Simoni: “Unanswered Questions” | MURDERISH Ep. 185

In December 1989, 37-year-old Susan Simoni clocked out from her job as a medical secretary. A simple plan lay ahead: pick-up dog from the groomer and daughter from ballet. A fairly typical evening. Or so she thought. Outwardly, Susan had it all. But beneath the veneer of a perfect life, a hidden darkness lurked. Susan’s marriage of 15 years was falling apart. The previous night, Susan had finally broached the subject of divorce with her husband Brian. She’d even handed Brian a pamphlet, a guide to navigating the painful process with minimal damage to their three children—ages 14, 11, and 9. When Susan failed to pick up her daughter, Alicia, from ballet and never arrived home that night, Brian called police to report her absence. The next morning, Susan was found dead in her SUV. It didn’t take police long to identify a suspect, and his identity surprised everyone …everyone, that is, but those who knew Susan best.
