S1 E2: In Her Footsteps

In Episode 2, In Her Footsteps, we retrace Suzy's steps on her last known day - March 2, 1998. After taking her midterm on the morning of March 2nd Suzy attended classes until 4 PM before heading to work. Before boarding a bus to Crossgates she took $20 out of an ATM at the Key Bank near UAlbany's Uptown campus. When she arrived at Crossgates, she took out another $20 before heading to her job at Babbage's. Suzy left her the mall at 9 PM and boarded a bus back to campus around 9:20. The driver who regularly worked the route recognized her picture but was not certain he saw her get off at the Collins Circle stop on campus, which was only a short walk to her Colonial Quad dorm.

S1 E3: The Red Herring

In this episode, we detail what happened the day after Suzanne Lyall's disappearance, which remains one of the biggest question marks surrounding her case. On March 3, 1998 $20 was withdrawn using Suzy's ATM card at a Stewart’s convenience store about three miles from campus. We discuss the man identified publicly as “The Nike Man” who was seen at Stewart’s around the time the $20 was withdrawn.

S1 E5: The Strangers | Part Two

The last stranger we've narrowed in on is John Regan. This middle aged man from a prominent family in Waterbury, Connecticut shocked his community, when in 2004 he was arrested on an unlawful restraint charge for attempting to sexually assault his 21-year-old co-worker. Then, DNA taken at the time of his arrest linked him to the 1993 rape of his friend's wife, Donna Palomba. While out on bail for his crimes in Connecticut, on Halloween 2005 John Regan drove to Saratoga Springs where he attempted to abduct a young woman from her high school parking lot. Saratoga Springs is a short drive to Suzy's hometown of Ballston Spa.

S1 E7: More Than Missing

Suzanne Lyall is so much more than her disappearance. She is a daughter, sister, cousin, a hard worker, poet, computer lover, girlfriend, and a friend. In this episode, we speak to members of her immediate family and her two cousins to get at the core of who Suzy was as a child and through her high school years. Her family shares similar anecdotes of Suzy, expressing her kind heart and intelligent nature but also the traits we haven't heard much about.

AI?

Is the narrator an AI voice? Her cadence is halted like AI. (genuine question- the host is listed as Jeff something, so I’m thinking yes?)
Narrator voice is awful!

I liked the story, but the narrator’s voice makes it very hard to get lost in the story. If it’s an AI voice as same listeners are theorizing, change it. If it is a real person’s voice get them speech lessons or replace them and re-record all episodes. For me, I’m out… life is too short to spend my time concentrating on a distracting voice rather then on the story.
Such a great podcast but narrator sounds robotic!!

I can’t get past the narrator talking like Siri. The coverage of the case is great, for a good cause, and very interesting but I wish she would talk like a normal human being... it would make this podcast a lot better
Respectfully done

I love how this isn’t one of those sensationalist podcasts where no real thought is given to the deceased nor the people who love them. Instead, their stories are told by an even-toned narrator who clearly cares about getting the whole story and getting it right. She also includes conversations with family members, police, and other professionals involved. It’s very interesting but not just for interests sake. I feel more like part of an investigative team and less like a voyeur
