Susan Libby Marable

The Disappearance of Susan Libby Marable: A 35-Year Fight for Justice
In April 1991, 35 years ago, Susan Libby Marable vanished from Yakima, Washington. What followed is a tragic testament to systemic institutional neglect, police bias, and a family's decades-long relentless pursuit of truth and accountability.

Susan had a very promising life. She was a registered nurse but when her fiancee died, addiction took hold of her, she lost her daughter and her nursing license.
Prior to her disappearance, Susan’s life was marked by extreme vulnerability, survival, and immense trauma. Living unhoused in Yakima, she traded motel room cleaning for shelter or survived on the streets to afford food and support her addiction.

However, her life had also been upended by a horrific act of violence:
* Susan was picked up, raped, tortured, and nearly murdered by John L. Robinson near The Sports Center Tavern. She managed to escape, testified against him, and successfully put him away for life.
* During his sentencing months later, Robinson threatened Susan and her family in open court. Left with severe PTSD, trauma, and anxiety, Susan was terrified of the area. She avoided The Sports Center completely.
* Despite her struggles with addiction, Susan was trying to turn her life around. She told her mother she wanted to enter a residential treatment program, asked for legal help to regain custody of her three-year-old daughter, and planned to return home to Aberdeen, Washington.

April 23, 1991: Susan was staying in a local man’s van. Around 9:00–9:30 PM, she told him she was walking about two blocks to the AM/PM on East Yakima Avenue and would be back in an hour. She never returned.

When she didn't come back by midnight, the van owner searched for two days. When local police refused to let him file a report because he wasn't family, he called Susan’s mother in Aberdeen on April 25th.

Susan’s mother immediately drove to Yakima and filed a report. Detectives dismissed her, telling her to go home because Susan likely "just took off... to party." Ignoring the police brush-off, her mother and the van owner spent months searching the area, but the Yakima Police Department (YPD) refused to log tips or properly investigate.

For decades, a false narrative has persisted online and in reports regarding Susan's final movements:

Five weeks after Susan vanished, a third-hand account surfaced via an acquaintance (who heard it from a bartender at the notoriously dangerous Blue Banjo tavern) claiming Susan got into a maroon pickup behind The Sports Center.
YPD never verified this information, interviewed the source, or spoke to Susan's family. Instead, detectives eagerly accepted the unverified tip to link Susan's disappearance to that of Julie Moronda (who went missing from behind The Sports Center in December 1990), conveniently closing the book on investigative work.
Susan’s family notes this narrative is entirely false; Susan was far too terrified of The Sports Center to ever go back there due to the trauma of the Robinson attack.

Because of YPD's hostility and outright negligence, with officers dismissing Susan as a "throw-away" or remarking that "the street kind of does us a favor", Susan's mother and, later, her sibling took over the case.

For the past 35 years, Susan's family has driven the investigation themselves.
They have compiled independent leads and identified five top suspects, presenting these findings to YPD—only for police to ignore them.
Last year, the family sent a comprehensive 13-page letter to the Mayor of Yakima and the Chief of Police. The response was dismissive, demonstrating that the institutional disregard for unhoused and addicted women persists decades later.

Key Facts:
Date Missing: April 23, 1991
Location Last Seen: Yakima, Washington (near East Yakima Avenue AM/PM)
Agency Involved: Yakima Police Department (YPD)
Key Obstacles: Systemic bias against unhoused individuals, lazy inter-case linking (the Julie Moronda connection), failure to follow up on family-led leads, and a 35-year lack of official casework.
Despite decades of silence from authorities, Susan's family continues to fight to ensure her story is told accurately, demanding the dignity, truth, and justice that the Yakima Police Department denied her.

Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann sent to isolation block after being disciplined for having suspected synthetic drug, source says..

(Excerpts from the article)

Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex A. Heuermann was disciplined weeks after he was sent to prison when correction officers found a small quantity of synthetic drugs under his bed, a source familiar with the investigation told Newsday.

Heuermann, 62, was sent to an isolated cell block, had his mail temporarily suspended and could lose access to his commissary account if he gets in trouble again, the source said.

The discovery was made July 14 during a search of Heuermann’s cell in a protected portion of Clinton Correctional Facility where high profile inmates are held, according to the source. Heuermann was not in his cell at the time of the search, which occurred about three weeks after he arrived at the prison, located in upstate Dannemora.

The contraband was limited to a small, soaked piece of paper wrapped in plastic that tested positive for "synthetic marijuana," the source said. Synthetic marijuana are human-made, lab-created chemicals that bind to the same cell receptors in the brain as natural THC from the cannabis plant, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

The Heuermann drug case was litigated during a two-day hearing that concluded Aug. 18. Should he commit further violations, Heuermann would have his commissary suspended for 75 days, according to the source.

The SJC has denied the request for a stay. Judge Sullivan is prepared to call in the Jury and declare a mistrial.

[Andrea Cavallier @acavallierNYC]

Lindsay Clancy jury is deadlocked 11-1. Judge about to declare a mistrial when Reddington makes one last ditch effort to avoid this by requesting to file an emergency stay. Judge gives him one hour.

[Andrea Cavallier @acavallierNYC]

JUST IN - Jurors: "With a heavy heart we report we cannot come to a unanimous decision." Judge says he feels has no choice but to declare a mistrial #lindsayclancy

[Cathy Russon @cathyrusson]

The just denied Reddington’s request to remove the juror. Jury is back to deliberating. CRAZY #lindsayclancy

[Nate Eaton @NateNewsNow]

Attorney Reddington and Judge appear to be in a heated exchange.

[Nate Eaton @NateNewsNow]

Parties have assembled in the courtroom. Judge is expected to take the bench shortly. Jurors have been deliberating for close to 6 hours today. They will have deliberated for more than 35 hours over 6 days.

[Pretty Lies & Alibis🎙 @PrettyLiesAlibi]

The jury has sent a note

[Andrea Cavallier @acavallierNYC]

Yes this 👇🏼

[Pretty Lies & Alibis🎙 @PrettyLiesAlibi]

@cathyrusson I’m not sure if they understand one more note ends it for them. I would hate to see people changing their verdict just to finish. That would undermine the entire process.

[Andrea Cavallier @acavallierNYC]

JUST IN: The Lindsay Clancy jury is going home today after deliberating for 29 hours and 30 minutes. No verdict reached. They will return tomorrow.

[Brian Entin @BrianEntin]

Lindsay Clancy says they still cannot come to a decision.
Judge instructing them to keep trying.
He is reading the formal Tuey charge.

Another juror summoned to sidebar is sworn in, speaks briefly and exits, a third male juror is questioned, nods his head, "no," and exits. It appears the judge will question all the jurors as they appear one by one. at sidebar.
