142: MISSING: Suzanne “Suzy” Lyall

June 22, 2026 · 43 min

Show notes

On March 2, 1998, 19-year-old Suzanne “Suzy” Lyall finished her shift at a software store in Albany, New York, and boarded a bus back to her dorm at SUNY Albany. A friend later reported seeing her get off at her usual stop on campus.

But Suzy never made it back to her room.

The following day, her bank card was used at an ATM miles away from campus. Yet despite decades of investigation, no one has ever been charged, and Suzy has never been found.

More than 28 years later, investigators believe she was the victim of homicide, but what happened to Suzanne Lyall remains unknown.

If you have any information in Suzy’s case, please call the New York State Police at 1-800-920-4150.
