Description

Girl in the Picture. Suzanne Sevakis.

The mystery of a missing person spans 40 years, taking more twists and turns than even the Escape Pod cohosts can count! 

As a teenage girl in the mid-1980s, this wannabe escape artist was known as a smart girl and good friend with big dreams, but – time and time again – one person kept preventing her from reaching her full potential. In the end, he couldn’t escape the many investigators who pursued truth and justice for a woman whose true identity took decades to reveal.
