143. Death of Edna Suttles / Silver Swampy Buttons in South Carolina

South Carolina… here we come. Bettina covers the true crime this week, the abduction and murder of Edna Suttles. We hate stories like this… he snuffed the life out of someone with so much of it. Beth attempts to lighten things up with legends from the good state of South Carolina… beware of silver suited men, lizard men, and a Button Man? Cheers!

Bettina covers time line of a murder caught on separate surveillance cameras and pieced together by investigators looking into Edna Suttles, a reported missing person. Edna’s Cherokee Jeep was discovered on Sept 3, six days after she was reported missing, in the parking lot of the Best Western in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. Looking at surveillance footage from Aug 27th, investigators saw a man get out of the Cherokee, wipe down the inside as well as the outside of the car and walk in the direction of a nearby Food Lion grocery store. Neither the man or Edna had checked into the hotel. This footage launched the beginning of the solving of this sad case. Listen as Bettina takes you through the footage, the search and the eventual arrest of Daniel Printz, who is definitely not a “Prince of a man”.

Tunnels, swamps, and buttons, what do these three things have in common? Give us a listen as Beth fills us in on the tunnels running under the streets of Columbia, South Carolina and the strange creature that reportedly lives within the tunnels. She then takes us to Bishopville, S.C. where there have been many reports of….The Lizard Man in Scape Ore Swamp. To end her part of the episode, Beth tells us about Dalton Stevens, the Button King, making us add, yet another, place on our wish list of places to visit, The Button King Museum!
