I’m not going to lie - Susan is so incredibly strong and totally badass. To say under oath “if I thought you should be dead I would’ve at least had the balls to kill you myself” is SO REAL.
this story is absolutely insane - how even though she knew he only wanted to kill her, she still made sure to give him several chances to stay alive. crazy how people can be so good.
It's so nice to hear a story where the good guys triumph and the bad guys get their comeuppance, for once. Susan's story is an inspiration. The letter from the family is also inspirational and I hope brought Susan some much-needed closure. Thank you for sharing, Snowflake! X
That's an important tip that can help when being attacked with a blunt object such as a hammer/bat etc. - getting closer to the attacker can stop them doing as much damage It seems counterintuitive, but as so much of the force from a swing is down to the distance from the pivot point, this can absolutely diminish the power of a swing. Obviously if you can get away, then do that but if you're stuck confronting a blunt-force weapon, moving towards them can save your life 👍
Plus they get a shock and you get a couple of seconds advantage on them! A lot of things can happen if you have a couple of seconds advantage on a person, especially if they are already on the attempt swing through.
Wild story, I remember reading about it, but only short articles that didn't really give much backstory. Just a "woman who defied the odds" tale. They had only made it sound like she had strangled him, not the intense vicious struggle for her life. Anyone who underestimates how tough a nurse is, is an idiot. They are some of the most physically and mentally toughest people I've come to know. "Save the ambulance for the guy, he may be dead".. wow
A podcast called My Favorite Murder highlighted it and Sue reached out to them. Earlier on in their run, it’s a great episode, Karen tells her story really well and Sue got a surge of attention from the spotlight and she responded. A lovely person and badass indeed.
What a kind, gentle, courageous lady. Being pragmatic is a wonderful thing. It prepares you for things. I don't have 'heroes' but she's damn close. Great inspiration, at least. Thanks, Mr S!
I remember hearing her story on a podcast. She is a real G and I hope if I'm ever in this position, in any way, I'm as strong as she was in that moment.
Wow, she has such a big heart. She is able to be so empathetic and forgiving to people who dont deserve it. What an absolute legend, i hope she is able to find some peace.
That was wonderful! Dude, badass Susan 😮 I like that she talked about the fear afterwards too. I went through a stalker situation with 2 ex's and someone else I was worried about. Driving different routes and always looking over your shoulder is exhausting. CPTSD and PTSD are no joke. Never heard of Susan, but I'm so glad to know about her through your wonderful doc!
I live about twenty minutes from this place. I never heard this story before. Thank you! Great work. This area and some surrounding areas is known for serial life takers. Ted Bundy, Green River Gary Ridgeway and many others. Scary stuff. Recently they said another was in the Portland area. Be safe and take care. Love your work.
Wow!! She is a strong woman, physically and mentally. I know I would never be so kind to anyone who tried to kill me. This story must have been a breath of fresh air after researching the stench and weaknesses, physically and mentally, of Foodie!!
Congratulations on the 100k+ subs Mr Snowflake. When I first saw one of your videos, way way back, I knew you had something great. I can't wait to see what you create next.
Great choice. I love to see this kind of video from you! Susan is one of my favorite people period. As someone who almost met the fate she was supposed to - she wound up being an amazing role model for emotional maturity and how to navigate a situation that terrible and still be as good a person as you can be. It's a shame that someone needs a role model for that - but I did. And I still do. I really hope she's living a blessed life no matter where she is.
@metalmamasue3680 Thank you! I ended up with my husband & he helped me raise the kids & is their dad & our grandkids Papaw. I'm fortunate I was able to find someone I feel 100% safe with. Been married going on 23 yrs now so I'm one of the lucky ones
Maybe I missed something but why would Susan keep the house if they paid it off together? Was it hers to begin with? Maybe she inherited it? Why wouldn't they have just sold it and split the money? As others have said, it's nice to see the intended victim actually come out the winner. I'm sorry she had to end his life but even in the middle of her terror, she gave him ample opportunity to change the outcome. What a horrible thing to have to live with, my heart goes out to her.
Wow. This is one I have never heard of before! Thank you for sharing. Poor Susan, but honestly she’s so badass I am in awe of her courage in that moment
Dear Mistah ❄️ This was SO captivating to me! I was just in complete AWE at that woman..the description of her bravery, the kind of strength shown by her during the fight, her sheer determination, and WILL to *Live* had me awe-struck! 😮. Then I was further amazed and filled with admiration as she immediately after hearing of his passing, expressed sorrow for HIS family first! I thought, " What a rare *gem* of a human being! I almost can't believe she's real!" Sorry to go on so long, but I'll wrap this up just by saying THANK YOU l, so very much for sharing this story because to me, even though the subject matter here was a bit dark, I left having watched it feeling rather uplifted after seeing her get the recognition and finally a bit of peace it seemed in her life, with even his family showing good will towards her. It felt a fitting "end" to the story but beginning for a better life for her. ✨️🌈 🖤
This is so well done! Would love it if you did more true crime content. Especially stories like these - I remember this story, and her survival is incredible! The 'happy ending' (I know it's more complex than that, but she showed how people can survive and still thrive even after severe trauma) especially is a nice way to handle this kind of content. Thank you for handling this case with so much class and insight.
Wow, Susan is truly such an incredible person. The capacity she has for human understanding to the point that she is empathizing with both her ex and the Hitmans family is a true demonstration of her strength
You’re a great story teller and your Life by Jenny series impacted me hugely. This little old Aussie really enjoys all of your prerecorded content and your lives are getting better every time you do one! 😊 Ps. Mr Snowflake sorry but I need to confess that my nickname for you is Mr Snakeflow. I mix my words up frequently and sometimes they stick! I think it’s genius and I now refuse to call you a Snowflake!!❤❤❤
I read about this case a little while ago and was so impressed! I didn't know about what she'd said at the trial, though, that was some next level sh*t! x)
What a beautiful tribute to a brave and courageous woman. 🖤 Beautifully done, yet again, Mr. S. Not to be that person who overshares, but I totally understand her daily fear, anxiety, and paranoia. Something happened to me in 2019 (nothing as egregious as what Susan endured), and it's still taking its toll on my life. I've worked hard to overcome that fear, paranoia, and the persistent need to be vigilant and alert at all times. It's exhausting, mentally and physically. It can and will ruin your life, your friendships, relationships, everything. Sometimes, even when the trauma is the farthest from your mind, and you are safe with no reason to have fear, your body still remembers, and the PTSD kicks in and floods your body with fight or flight and adrenaline. Whole body shakes, panic, and terror wash over you and cripple you if you aren't able to ground yourself and stay calm. It's debilitating and truly awful. It does get a bit better with time, diligence, therapy, etc. With proper resources, it can be managed. I don't know how Susan is today, but I truly hope she's found peace and no longer lives in fear. I genuinely hope that anyone who has PTSD is able to find peace and feel safe. All my love and respect 🖤
I've heard Susan's story before (i first saw it on Who The Bleep Did I Marry?). I'm amazed at her physical strength and her kind heart. Another great episode!
What she said about her ex husband after he died shows that she is truly a kind person. She wasn't bitter, resentful or angry about how that man's actions had changed the course of her life. She was very aware and matter-of-fact about what drove him to make those choices and she was sad about the outcome of it all. Those are all signs of a very emotionally mature and kind person.
Monsieur Flocon, this is such an incredible video, I absolutely loved it ! This is such a wonderful, brave and badass woman like we need to hear more about. Thank you so much for your work !!
@@DammitDanDanwomen famously love true crime :) some men like to imply that makes us all walking murder risks to them, when the majority of us actually watch true crime to cope with the risks men pose to us.
I like this short documentary. It's, at least to me, about a woman who is willing to fight for her life. She sees life has value. A refreshing departure from what we see regularly in gorl world.
Lol right? I always joke that I'm so screwed if I'm ever suspected of a crime due to my crazy search history😅 I get into these rabbit holes about dark subjects and I will obsessively search everything I possibly can about a topic because otherwise my brain won't shut off😂
im just saying susan. You fended off the attack your husband who had all the advantages from you not being on guard to him having finance to do it. Since then he doesnt have the means, your are on guard. and doubt any hitman will take up any contracts on a now public figure for having put down the last hitman sent for her with her bare hands
I’m not going to lie - Susan is so incredibly strong and totally badass.

this story is absolutely insane - how even though she knew he only wanted to kill her, she still made sure to give him several chances to stay alive. crazy how people can be so good.
Hitman: I’m here to kill you.
Susan: **Uno-Reverse**
😂 this just proves to never judge a book by its cover!
What a woman 🦸♀️
The nurse in her decided to spare him his life, the survivor in her decided to finish it and save her own life.
It's so nice to hear a story where the good guys triumph and the bad guys get their comeuppance, for once. Susan's story is an inspiration. The letter from the family is also inspirational and I hope brought Susan some much-needed closure. Thank you for sharing, Snowflake! X
This 💯
Her biting in hopes that the bite marks help the attacker gets caught have me goosebumps
it's no surprise to me that such a remarkably strong woman was a nurse for 30+ years. what an absolutely inspirational story.
I live less than a mile from where she worked. When people talk about the indomitable human spirit, I think of her
Thanks for teaching me a new word. Didn't know 'indomitable' existed. Another great thing to learn in addition to the video.
Did you also yell out “will-A-mette”?
But honestly I’m surprised that I’d never heard this story.

Incredible how she still said that Mike didn’t have an evil heart??? Just issues??? She is more gracious than I could ever be!

Anyone who underestimates how tough a nurse is, is an idiot. They are some of the most physically and mentally toughest people I've come to know. "Save the ambulance for the guy, he may be dead".. wow
My mom was a nurse so I was around a lot of her nurse friends, and their grip strength ALONE is UNREAL. I would never pick a fight with a nurse 😂

I’ve heard this story many times, but this was a great retelling. Thank you for the work you put into this!
Thank you for doing a crime story for a change....love it. You do it so professionally too❤
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I love this story so much. Thank you for the retelling.

He really is
What an EXCELLENT documentary! Susan, you are an inspiration ❤❤❤
She’s an absolute gangster 😎
Wow!! She is a strong woman, physically and mentally. I know I would never be so kind to anyone who tried to kill me.
This story must have been a breath of fresh air after researching the stench and weaknesses, physically and mentally, of Foodie!!
When she was talking to him directly on the stand; chilling!
She's such a badass
Susan is a bad ass. We love Susan.

Fascinating story, well presented. You have a great channel without reacting to lolcows, which must infuriate them.
