O M G!! Susie was my Best Friend since first grade. I've been looking for this video for YEARS!! So Grateful for the info, pictures of the car, and the Incredible work of ALL the people who didn't rest until Ralph was convicted. RIP Susie ❤🙏

[@nadoosah_]

Why so many murders in America?

[@alisatjaden3906]

@@fereydunharifi6618 No. Ralph was on death row in Missouri for years. Would never tell where he put Susie's body. The blood hounds the police brought in stopped at the river...

[@truthserum76]

I'm sorry for your loss & that you're having to see this case, unfolded, here. ❤

[@alisatjaden3906]

@@truthserum76 Thank you. I've prayed and looked for this video for YEARS. I'm totally in shock today to finally see the car picture. She came up to visit me a couple of days before she died. I was in that car with her. We went to the Humane Society. She adopted a dog to take back to Missouri with her bc she was afraid. When she left I Begged her to wait and not go back. She was a Brown Belt, didn't do guns, and had a restraining order on him. She said she'd be okay, as I hugged her Goodbye at my apartment building. 💔

[@alisatjaden3906]

PS: She NEVER had a boyfriend. Crazy talk...Ralph was doing "some insurance coverage on her" in case she died. A bit before he had thrown her down the stairs. Her back was messed up. She was such a Beautiful, intelligent, loving non judgemental woman. Wonderful sense of humor

[@rosieHolliday5887]

Firstly who wears high heels to go on a trip to a cliff edge? It's obvious that she didn't even really know where she was going that day. Like the investigator said, this was a 20 year old girl putting her trust in a much older couple & had no idea. Poor girl. RIP

[@dancingfirefly7761]

I wonder if they encouraged her to wear them as a reason for her "slipping" on the cliff?

[@WAMOEMinistries]

My thoughts exactly! The couple had planned to kill her for the few dollars of insurance money. What they didn’t understand that there isn’t any perfect crime. One way or the other, YOU WILL BE CAUGHT! RIP young lady! What an horrific tragedy! Pls some of these “loving” couples are undercover criminals.

Narrator has such good grip over words and frequency of his words delivery.☺

[@Simp_Zone]

Yeah he's amazing lol. I recognise him from a few of these crime shows

[@debifambro1039]

I just watched the movie re this event. The lawyer never gave up. ❤

[@elizabethannegrey6285]

A fascinating indication of how science solves crimes and ancient riddles.

[@marlenedouglas7957]

This lawyer was very switched on he did a great job. I want him on my side when I get into trouble

[@maricamaas2326]

How convenient for that husband to have passed away before the case went to court... He might have been tempted to make some sort of deal? The percentage of murders motivated by cashing in on life insurance policies, must be staggering.

[@fanaticat1]

I remember this show (New Detectives) on one of the cable channels (Court TV, Crime Investigation, Investigation Discovery, A & E). I hadn't seen the show in quite a while, so I'm glad I found this channel! I'm now subscribed!

[@liamegan4303]

Thanks Guys for another Great Video. I remember that poor Girl being pushed off the cliff. The poor thing knew what was going to happen. At least they caught the Monster. Sick woman and a pure greedy Psycho. Anyway all we can do is Pray for the Victim's. Keep up the Great Work. We ❤ your Channel over here in Ireland. 😅😅

[@dancingfirefly7761]

All three of these cases were very interesting and well covered, and I love this narrator's voice.

[@NHWatching]

How did those people from the cliff incident get an insurance policy on a young girl not related to them??

[@hubes96]

What?! Why in the world do you think you can only get life insurance for a relative?! That is the craziest I’ve ever heard of?!

[@mcmd2009]

You can't get life insurance on just anyone. You need to have an insurable interest in the person.

[@1985snx]

Oh yeah' insurable interest' it's called. Otherwise it will be chaos, if anyone can insure anybody and Collect on their deaths.

[@user-jz2uj1mr5c]

​@@hubes96learn to respond politely.

[@user-jz2uj1mr5c]

I don't understand this crazy legal action that anybody can take. They allow murderers to kill for money basically. It must stop.

[@luzvaldes1030]

Fascinating cases! Hard to believe how far forensic sciences have advanced…

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

That last story was fascinating, it still amazes me what science can teach us. Also a good reminder to fix up an appointment for a dental check up. 😄❤😁

[@Flamsterette]

Thanks for the upload!

There's a movie bout this staring Danica McKellar

There are two even.

Death benefit

[@kristy4619]

Wow if I had gotten away with murder bc the evidence was in a storage unit you can best believe I'd go without everyday items to make sure that unit was paid. What an idiot

[@alisatjaden3906]

He was dating a new woman. He had a heart attack and fell behind on his bills. The car was found on St Patty's Day

[@kristy4619]

@alisatjaden3906 again that storage unit either would've been #1 bill or I would've cleaned it out

[@kristy4619]

@alisatjaden3906 thank you for letting me know though bc idk that

[@alisatjaden3906]

@@kristy4619 The only reason I know is bc Susie's family and mine were intertwined for YEARS while this was going on. I knew Ralph and stayed at their house in 1985. Ralph wanted me gone too bc I knew too much from Susie telling me. My Mom & hers were best friends. We grew up at each other's house. I was there for her Mom when she was fading.

[@justinbell700]

sad to hear about her death but thanks very much for the throw back

[@NomadicLifer]

Insurance companies are a pain in the ass. They happily take your money, then make it nearly impossible to collect.

[@lizzwilliams6022]

THE FACT SHE HAD THE MORBID NERVE 2 GIVE THE FAMILY THOSE PHOTOS OF RIGHT B4 SMFH THEY NEEDA INVESTIGATE ANY LIFE THT PASSED AROUND HER!! WHO GETS L.I POLOCIES ON A LITERAL STRANGER?!

[@kimmyfreak200]

this is insane they show the real photos..always wondered what they looked like...forensic files used reenactments..they real pix are hard to find..they did it out of respect...the real ones are definitely creepier obviously

[@sherrylowe8819]

Those people flat out killed her for money

[@DannyWJaco]

Enjoyed the mummy research. Egyptians loved sweets? What kind?

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

Dates and nuts drenched in honey is my guess, I wouldn't trust my word fully though as my knowledge of ancient Egypt is not that big but those items were definitely available to them back then. ❤

[@chel7661]

This came soooooo close to this happening with her second husband (maybe 3rd 🤔🤷‍♀️) but she kept telling him to just get her home HER HOME 🏡 She divorced him and he had a heart attack and passed on, 😮”he who laughs last”

[@shantini2911]

I wanted to stop watching until the lawyer said: well, not quite 💯. Impressive

[@spot-on-world]

Bj got whacked too!!

[@msjadhav5192]

They drugged her a lot to wear high hills to that cliff

[@Ainaes-Feline]

Amitriptyline Elavil and here known Endep, takes a few hours to take full affect. It’s an anti depressant and for certain kinds of neurological pain conditions. But it makes you very tired and drowsy. I take it as a sleeping aid, but it takes hours before you feel the effects. He must have taken at least the 50 mg ones for her to be so out of it so quick. It usually doesn’t put you that quick under but the higher the dosage the more tired and sleepy you get. I wish governments would allow punishments for criminals to die in the same manner as their victims did. Now that would be a deterrent.

[@NHWatching]

Also, Hello evolution! Do something about the continuing weakness of our teeth and gums! 😊

[@RealCrimeDaily]

very sad

[@princeofdarknessxyz1]

saw this on forensic files

[@pandroidigital]

The narrator's voice is ASMR

[@Ainaes-Feline]

What I find so staggering is that in America anyone can take out a life insurance policy on anyone ,without the insured knowledge, they have an eye on. And from there it’s only a small step to get rid off them. Even estranged husbands or wives can take one out on their former spouse without them even been made aware of that. I think this is only allowed in America. Here and in Europe the INSURED who has the insurance taken out on them and the PROPOSER who is paying for the insurance need to sign and have 3 different identification such as a drivers license, passport, a birth certificate and a Medicare card. That way all parties are made aware of the insurance policy.…Saves money and lives. And is oh so simple.

[@GMZohar14]

13:44 "her face blurs" thats not a blurred face... It's called not looking at the camera lol

Only two ways to successfully get away with murder, pushing off a cliff or cruise ship!

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

​@@bullast2046to be fair the two people investigating weren't detectives, he was a pediatrician and she was a radiographer so no crimes were being ignored.

The only true hope to be found in life is through knowing Jesus as our saviour. We can know the peace of having our sins forgiven and hope for the future by becoming a Christian. St. John 6:37 Jesus said “....whoever comes to me I will never drive away.”
