On this episode of Super SUS, we unravel the heartbreaking and horrifying story of Ann Hoover, a kind-hearted Pittsburgh resident whose dream of transforming an old South Oakland row home into her sanctuary led to an unimaginable nightmare.

We explore Ann’s initial optimism and determination to rebuild her dream home, only to find it shattered by her neighbor, Roy Kirk. What started as friendly encounters quickly morphed into a series of escalating tensions—neglected renovations, unsettling behavior, and rising hostility that foreshadowed the grim events to come.

Join us as we walk through the haunting details of the case, from the small red flags in Roy’s demeanor to the horrifying moment when Ann’s life was stolen. We dissect the events leading up to her gruesome murder and dismemberment, painting an unnerving picture of how a seemingly ordinary neighbor can harbor such darkness.
