Behind the Badge - The Search for Susana Morales

This transcript details the investigation into the disappearance and death of Susana Morales, a sixteen-year-old girl from Georgia. After six months of search efforts by the Special Victims Unit and homicide detectives, her skeletal remains were discovered in a remote wooded area alongside a stolen handgun. This critical piece of evidence linked the crime to Miles Bryant, a local police officer who lived at the apartment complex where Morales was last seen. Investigators utilized cell phone pings, fitness tracking data, and incriminating internet search histories to disprove Bryant’s alibi. Although the cause of death was officially undetermined due to decomposition, the mounting evidence led authorities to charge the former officer with kidnapping and felony murder. The case concludes with the victim’s family and lead detectives reflecting on the tragic betrayal of public trust committed by a member of law enforcement.This episode includes AI-generated content.
