Suesan Knorr was 17 and living in Squaw Valley, California when she died on July 17, 1984. Theresa allegedly attempted a crude, unsanitary removal of the bullet at home, which produced a severe infection and rapid deterioration in Suesan’s health.

On the night of July 17, 1984, Suesan’s body was reportedly bound with duct tape, doused with gasoline, and set on fire while still alive. Her charred remains were found by a motorist near Squaw Creek, close to the entrance of Squaw Valley. Investigators later linked the killing to Theresa and two of her sons, William Robert Knorr and Robert Wallace Knorr, after a surviving daughter contacted authorities in 1993 and provided information that reopened the case.

If anyone knew Suesan, her family, or saw anything around Squaw Creek in July 1984, please share what might help fill gaps in the timeline or the lead-up to her death.
