Her family, including her mother, expressed a sense of bittersweet closure upon finally learning what had happened to their loved one after all these years. The discovery brought to an end their decades-long search for answers regarding Sue Ann's disappearance.
The cause of Sue Ann Huskey's death was determined to be homicide by firearm, and the investigation into her murder remains open.
