In 1975, a young woman named Susan Redding, also known by her nicknames Randy and Sue, relocated from Seattle, Washington, back to her family's home in Decatur, Georgia. She had been living with her brother in Seattle, but he sent her back to Georgia because he felt she had become too rebellious. Upon her return, tensions arose between Susan and her mother, leading to a falling out. The last time her family physically saw her was at her mother's residence in Decatur. At the time she was last seen, she may have been in the company of an unidentified, significantly older white male. Concerns were raised about her well-being due to her age and potential involvement in a high-risk lifestyle.
The timeline following Susan's last physical sighting is marked by uncertainty and sporadic contact. Though some accounts note her disappearance around 1980 or 1983, her family affirms she was last seen in Georgia in 1975. The last known communication from Susan occurred sometime in the mid-1980s, before her father passed away in 1987. During this period, she made phone calls to the homes of her mother and grandmother. One specific instance of contact is believed to have happened in October 1982, shortly after her grandmother's death. Susan reportedly called her grandmother's house and spoke briefly with an aunt, but she ended the call abruptly upon hearing her mother's voice in the background. This call suggested to her family that she was aware of her grandmother's passing and that she might have still been in the local area.
Years have passed without any further word from Susan Redding, and her case remains unresolved. There is no evidence to suggest that she ever went back to Washington State after returning to Georgia. Despite this, the King County Sheriff's Office in Washington is the primary agency investigating her disappearance, a detail some find unusual given her last known location was in Georgia. It has been speculated that the case may have been taken up by King County during investigations into the victims of the Green River killer. Susan is described as a Black female with brown eyes and black hair, which she often covered with a wig. She has a distinctive scar located above her right eye. The conflicting dates and limited information have made the investigation challenging, leaving her loved ones with unanswered questions about what happened to her after she was last heard from decades ago.
Last Seen: Jan 01, 1980
