Speculating Wildly About Crime
29. Mary and Susanne "Susie" Reker
Could the key to a decades-old murder mystery lie buried in the haunting echoes of a Labor Day tragedy? Prepare to be gripped by the harrowing tale of the Reker sisters, whose lives were mercilessly cut short in the sleepy town of St. Cloud, Minnesota. This episode pulls back the curtain on the family's background, the critical days leading up to the sisters' disappearance, and the local quarry where their bodies would later be discovered, riddled with stab wounds. Diving deep into the narrative with insights from "The Deck" podcast host Ashley Flowers and firsthand accounts from local news, we piece together the sinister puzzle that has left this case cold for far too long.
The plot thickens as we explore the perplexing circumstances of Mary and Susie's last known whereabouts, including a neighbor's foreboding observations and a bar patron’s chilling tip-off. We stitch together the fragmented memories of that fateful weekend, juxtaposed against Sue Dukowitz's spine-chilling survival story from years later, which might just reopen old wounds and breathe new life into the investigation. Every lead, every heart-stopping encounter with potential suspects brings us a step closer to understanding the muddled truths behind the sisters’ untimely demise.
We wrap our investigation in shrouds of intrigue and speculation, questioning the possible involvement of an authority figure with a dark past and the shadowy implications of the Troubled Teen Industry. Could a reverend with a checkered history hold the key to unlocking this mystery? A neighbor's unsettling eagerness to help, the haunting words of a diary fearing the worst, and the enigmatic presence of gold wire-rimmed glasses—all these elements are dissected as we attempt to shed light on a case that has been shrouded in darkness for almost half a century. Join us as we navigate through this labyrinthine saga, piecing together the fragments left behind in the quest for closure.
