More than 25 years later, Sue’s memory haunts the town of Athens and the people who knew her. Who was Sue, really? Why did this English expat settle in small-town Texas? And could she still be alive?

Customer Reviews
Positive for those involved but plenty of better podcasts
If the facts were covered in first episode then the whole podcast could be delivered in 50 mins. Not a mystery, just a profile of a woman who died alone. Positive that some members of her family were put in contact. Really dragged out with experts and opinions.
Poor lady
Podcasters trying to make a true crime spy story out of some poor lady’s suicide. Sounded like a pretty private lady as well so horrible to think these creeps digging through all her personal information
Pay for flights
Audio is remarkably terrible.
I don’t understand why so many podcasts use indecipherable telephone audio, when audio is literally THE ENTIRE medium. Half of the show is inaudible, and not translated, relying instead on overly dramatic music as the only indicator of what is supposed to be an important scene.
It’s unfortunate, because I imagine this is a really great story. Sadly that’s all you can do, is imagine.
If podcast producers can’t budget for flights or an audio recordist, then they shouldn’t bother making the program. I hope this doesn’t become the standard.
