Killer Cop Realizes Detectives Found His Gun Next To Her Body

In July 2022, 16-year-old Susanna Morales disappeared while walking home from a friend's house in Norcross, Georgia. Her body was later found in a wooded area off Highway 316. The investigation quickly centered on an unlikely suspect: a local police officer named Miles Bryant. The case broke open when detectives discovered that Bryant's personal firearm—a Glock 47 he had reported stolen from his truck—was recovered at the crime scene, right next to where Morales's body was dumped.

The Interview That Unraveled the Story

The heart of the episode is a recorded interview between Bryant and a detective who had been assigned to lead the investigation. What begins as a friendly, almost collegial conversation—the detective refers to Bryant as "family" and says "we're all family here"—gradually tightens into an interrogation as the evidence piles up. Bryant initially claims he has no idea how his gun ended up at the scene. He tells the detective he reported the weapon stolen after noticing his holster lying on the passenger floor of his truck, and he insists he never visited the wooded area where Morales's body was found.
