Suzanne Michelle Powell, 20, was shot and killed outside Atlantic Bank in Gainesville while making her employer’s nightly deposit shortly before midnight on December 29, 1979; she was found about 12:05 a.m. on December 30. A clerk at Majik Market, Suzanne routinely transported the store’s receipts to the bank. Reports say roughly $275 in business funds was taken, and the scene was described either as her body inside the vehicle or lying nearby with papers scattered — accounts differ on that detail.

Investigators explored whether the killer had observed her routine or encountered her at the deposit box. Two men later identified in reporting as possible suspects — Readus Sheperd and Thomas E. Willard — were linked to the case by an anonymous jailhouse informant, but police reportedly lacked physical evidence or eyewitness corroboration tying either man to the shooting. A family member of Sheperd reportedly later claimed he had admitted to killing a woman in Gainesville, but that statement did not definitively connect him to Suzanne.

Who remembers Suzanne’s routines, the bank area that night, or any suspicious vehicles or people near Atlantic Bank around midnight on December 29–30, 1979?
