Introduction

Susana Morales was a 16-year-old girl from a very close knit family. They’d recently moved to Doraville Gorgia, a small town of nearly 1000 people, 45 minutes north of Atlanta. Music was Susana’s passion. She loved to sing and play the piano and was also teaching herself how to play
the guitar and ukulele.

What Happened?

On Tuesday, July 26th, 2022, life turned upside down for the Morales family and sadly life will never be the same. Susana hung out with her family throughout the day but wanted to hang out with a friend that night. Her friend lived a short 9-minute walk from her house, and she’d made
that walk all of the time. At around 9:40 p.m. Susana texted her mother to let her know she was on her way home. She had not arrived by 10:00 p.m. and the family feared there was a problem.
