On a warm September afternoon in 1969, 8-year-old Susan Nason vanished from her quiet suburban neighborhood. For two decades, her case remained cold, until a shocking bit of news broke the silence: a former playmate claimed she had witnessed Susan’s murder… and that it was committed by her own father.
Join us for Memory of Murder. Susan Nason’s story is not just a story about a horrible murder; it’s a story of dysfunctional family relationships and repressed memories. Memories can fade and some say they can return with devastating clarity. Today we are unravelling a complicated case that challenges the boundaries of psychology, criminal justice, and the truth itself. Are repressed memories a defense mechanism to protect oneself from painful experiences, or, like one prominent psychologist has said, are they the worst catastrophe to befall the mental health field since the lobotomy?
