Hi D. Locke. I'm curious what non-existent variables you are referring to specifically. Do you mean like, no puddle of radiator fluid found in the parking lot? No witnesses of anyone around Sue's car while she worked? Things like that? With genuine respect, because I've gone down a few dark...

Hi helenaminet. Thank you for posting here and thanks for welcoming questions. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family for the tragic loss of your aunt Kathy. The Dateline article about Kathy's disappearance and death just pulled me in. I hope I did...

Thanks for posting this, @mlhenn. I didn't know about that site. It looks like Susan Swedell's sister has teamed up with one of the PIs at SolveTheCase and created a new page about the case. There's a discussion started there by said PI. And Susan's sister has posted about it on her Swedell...

Glad I could help. Thanks for asking and keeping this thread alive!

Hi Sweetluv. There are truly many odd pieces to this story. One theory I think early investigators considered was that she was planning to meet somebody, but her sister has posted about this in social media and commented in the Still Missing Podcast. She says that Sue had a habit of changing...

This recent segment on Minnesota NBC affiliate KARE-11 is a much better production than the WCCO segment above: It's always interesting to me that everytime investigators or family members speak about this, either new details come out or the story shifts ever so slightly. In this latest...

Minnesota CBS affiliate WCCO broadcast a segment about this on Jan 21, 2025, here on YouTube:

Thanks for posting the KARE-11 article. I just searched Google News and yeah, it looks like this one got some press the last few days after all. I thought it was going to go missed this anniversary. Here's some more recent press on this story...

I've talked to a few mechanics and auto buffs about this question. I've done some supporting research too. Universally these sources agree that atmospheric temperature wouldn't help to cool the engine. The way an engine cooling system works is the fluid moves heat away from the engine to the...

Light a candle at 9:00PM Central Time tonight 37 years ago today Susan Swedell was last seen getting into a car with a young male driver at a rural crossroads gas station in Lake Elmo, Minnesota about 1.3 miles from her home. She had reported car trouble to the gas station clerk and asked to...

Could it be that she was abducted by somebody who followed her from Aldee's Disco in Calumet City? I still wonder if there was anything found to be wrong with her car. None of the news reports say anything about it, but automotive sabotage isn't exactly an original MO for abductors. It...

In 1975 a woman in Miami, Florida reported that she was assaulted by a man who had apparently drained her car's radiator in a shopping mall parking lot while she shopped. Her car overheated and broke down about 2 miles away from the shopping mall. A van immediately pulled up behind her. A guy in...

I've wondered about these things too, but the thing is that there were other gas stations along the way home. There was one just down the hill from Kmart on the frontage road. I think it was a SuperAmerica station. And there was another one that was only about a couple blocks or so from her...

Hi BethAnn777. I've had the same question about the gas pumping part. Usually I think the same way you do about it. It could have just been his way of looking natural. It also would have bought him some time. It's crazy though, because it also enhances his visibility. So if he's Sue's abductor...
