Conversations w/ Ignorance Was Bliss: Suzanne Lyall

Conversations w/ Ignorance Was Bliss: Suzanne Lyall

Author: Jules Ph.D. January 22, 2022 Duration: 1:18:37
In this episode I talk to former Forensic Psychologist Kate about a case that has captivated me for a very long time...it's sort of a hometown case for Kate, in that she went to University in upstate NY, so she knows lots of details. Suzanne Lyall would disappear in the infancy of the internet age on March 2, 1998. Suzanne was very gifted with computers from a young age and there will be multiple threads that tie in to the burgeoning technology of the day and her boyfriend at the time Richard Condon. Was this someone close to Suzie? or was this an opportunistic stranger abduction?
