The Puzzling Death of Susann Sills | Full Episode + Post Mortem

[@Leila3i5]

Less than one minute in. He calls 911 and tells them 'we got a patient here who's fallen off stairs"? He calls his wife "a patient"? Something aint right here.

[@laylawalker8897]

This creepy doctor started dating his patient who was married to someone else at the time and seeing him to be able to conceive a baby but nobody saw that as weird and unethical?!

[@jonahzablow2132]

Depends on who had contemporary knowledge of the situation.

[@Nurturing2]

@@sbrooke210There is an imbalance of power between physician and patient. This is entirely unethical and would raise a HUGE RED FLAG for me. Some are naive and easily taken advantaged of as a result. She was bright but she was human. We don’t know the history of her prior marriage. Perhaps the Doctor’s attention filled a void. It’s paramount we do our inner work and heal before we move onto another relationship. I am so sad for her and her children, who remain in denial. 💔

A “patient” at the bottom of the stairs versus his WIFE????

[@420virgo]

That was so odd that he didn’t say he was a doctor to the 911 dispatcher

[@Nurturing2]

I thought so too!

[@V1124az]

So odd he wasn’t already doing CPR without being told to do it

[@magical8013]

I'm honestly disgusted that it takes a year for the coroner to come back with results for someone that was murdered by their husband

Same! But a lot of cities/counties get backlogged on cases sent to the coroner's office.

In my opinion, the husband murdered his wife. No question. Calling her a patient and blaming the dogs. It's ridiculous.

[@GIJoe3333]

Well I'm not a dr, I've never given cpr. But learned how to fo it the boyscouts and the army over 30 years ago. And still know how to fo it. No Dr needs to be told how to do cpr. That's medical 101. Here he is reaching for a tool to find out if she's alive. Put your figures on her neck to find a pulse. Dude was acting like it was his first day of medical class.

[@Rgrn-e7z]

That's cos he didn't really want to revive her , we all know that one . Glad he is behind bars ..

[@CAK10111]

Psychopaths have shallow charm and when there are children involved they will often pick a favorite who they turn into the golden child. That child will feel adored and showered with attention. This behavior erodes the child’s empathy. Notice the son is nowhere near as blinded? He wasn’t the golden child. That schtick only works if one child is treated preferentially, that’s part of the fun for the psychopath.

Not even a minute in and I’m suspicious of his wording in the 911 call. “We’ve got a patient”?

[@Chemical_Recon_M93A1]

Why mention she’s partially on the stairs, especially a shoe was off ? SHOE ?

Bingo....and put the daughter through all that. What an evil person.

[@jenna-a-gogo]

Using that video of the dogs playing tug-of-war as a defense is beyond ridiculous. Every dog, every single breed, loves a good game of tug-of-war with an opponent. But not when their opponent is their owner laying unresponsive on the floor.

[@oldcollegecoed]

Okay….maybe I’m a prude (God help me), but why would a wife want (or need) to post a topless photo of herself online? I get sending one to her hubby, but sharing it with the world via social media seems incredibly careless & crass. I’m pretty open-minded, but I would NOT be happy if my husband decided to share photos of his willie with the world! I’d love to hear what others think!

[@ZSC92]

Agree

[@barbarapaige4587]

I agree - it's unfathomable, and why at her age? There's info we're not getting about this story.

[@loisburns2110]

Definitely odd right and at her age.. why???

[@Janadu]

It's the sort of cult-like lunacy inspired by donald trump. That's the easy answer here.

[@jhonnp9280]

If she only knew this will be her fate, she could have stayed with her first husband. He is very detached, emotionless and cold towards the “patient’

[@kmurphy5116]

The relationships in this family appears to have few boundaries. How many mothers have a topless photo taken by their daughter to post online? What message does that send to the child for her own online behavior? What father/ husband wouldn't find this posting or the bet to expose yourself was deemed at good judgment to display to your children?

[@finleys_mama5891]

Taken by the daughter... did I miss something?! Never heard the daughter took the pic.

Calling your wife a patient is insane

[@strangevisions5162]

Please for people who never seen this story thanks 🙏🏿 this is new to me so I am going to enjoy watching it ❤🎉my condolences 💐 to her loved ones

[@lisarogers3393]

The waiting to do cpr; the explanation of the shoe on the stairs is big 🚩! When a person is trying to set up the narrative while talking to a 911 operator, is a tell tell sign. A truly shocked person is rarely in a state of mind that they are sleuthing out what caused an event. They’re just wanting help, now! Btw, I fell down a flight of hardwood stairs, from top to bottom, and my dog laid down beside me and whimpered because it was scared that I was hurt. And, so was I. I laid there for about 5 minutes before I even tried to get up. I was fine, just a deep bruise to the bone on my leg. I’m very lucky but, dogs don’t behave like they tried to say. Animals are smarter than we give them credit for.

[@jenna-a-gogo]

Much agreed. I've been a dog owner all my life, with many different breeds. Yes, they do love tug-of-war, but not when their owner is laying unresponsive on the floor. Dogs can sense when we are injured and will almost immediately show concern.

[@finleys_mama5891]

OPERATOR: 911. What's your emergency? SILLS: I think our adorable dogs just strangled my wife. 👀

Also, weren't the dogs put in a crate at bedtime? They weren't even out loose!

[@Leila3i5]

45:27 No. This is not a thing. He was at his home. He supposedly and just got up in the morning and was with his kids about to take them out for donuts. He found his wife lifeless on the stairs. He is not in "doctor mode". He is attempting to distance himself from his crime. Doctors do not call their spouses or children "a patient" and certainly not when they are in their own home. Like many defense attorneys, this guy came up with some real whoppers.

I'm not a doctor or psychotherapist but I'd really like to see more education and awareness on narcissism and psychopathy because ordinary, normal, well balanced people obviously are not going to understand how a 'life giving doctor' who seemed soooooooo wonderful and is viewed as a 'saint' can have done something so horrific. They do it because of ego and control and power which has to maintained at all costs. We need more education and research to help juries and enlighten unsuspecting victims.
