In this gripping podcast episode, we meticulously dissect the brutal murder of Susan Trott, a beloved 70-year-old woman tragically slaughtered by her own neighbor in October 2018. Embark on a journey with us as we delve into the puzzling case and the unsettling psyche of the killer, Anya Johnston.
Despite a troubled past filled with suicidal attempts and violent fantasies, Johnston was surprisingly lucid during her act of violence. We examine her motivations, her chilling diary entries, and the seemingly ordinary actions that she undertook on the day of the murder. With the help of primary evidence and expert analysis, we aim to unravel the enigmatic persona of Johnston - self-described as a 'monster'.
Our deep dive into this case offers an unsettling glimpse into the confines of a distressed mind and highlights the tragic life of Susan Trott. Let's delve into the sordid details, unravel the mysteries, and attempt to comprehend how such alarming events can transpire amidst the normalcy of everyday life.
As we trace the chilling chain of events, from Susan's unsuspecting hospitality to Anya's brutal attack and subsequent failed attempt at suicide, we uncover a narrative fraught with distress, shock, and ultimate human resilience. The story concludes with heartfelt tributes to Susan, remembering her for the compassionate woman she was, and a reflection on the unpredictability of life.

Hello, hello, hello once again and welcome back. It is a wonderful Sunday afternoon.
Yes, I am back on track. Ain't it great? Ain't it good? Ain't God good when he do it?
Okay, so I'm back on track like I said because last time I did this on a Tuesday,
but it's okay. Things happen like I said.
(00:48):
We're back on track. It's a Sunday now. Okay, today's date is going to be October the 17th of 2018.
And we are going to discuss the murder of Susan Trott. Okay.
Okay. So, like I said, thank you all so much for joining me this wonderful Sunday
(01:13):
afternoon, morning, night, Monday, whenever you're listening to this.
I really appreciate you guys.
Before I begin, once again, please don't forget, as always, follow on all social
medias and I will get into all of that at the end of the recording. rewarding.
(01:36):
Okay, so yeah, thank you all so much for joining me and let us begin.
So I don't, for those who listen to me on the regular,
hopefully you do recall, and if you have not, please go to the episode where
I was discussing the murder of Naomi Arion.
(01:59):
Where I did mention that the person who murdered her, he did end up committing
suicide while he was in jail.
Okay. And what was my message during that time?
I said, if you are considering to kill somebody, please kill yourself first.
(02:24):
If you've tried every avenue to try to talk to somebody to try to figure it
out, see what you can do, whatever the case may be.
If it's not working out and you feel like you just have to take somebody's life,
just go ahead and take your own, okay?
Because apparently you're very adamant about that.
And today's story is, today's case is basically all about that.
(02:49):
Because our victim, Susan Trott, was killed by a person who felt like she just had to kill somebody.
She was like, I have to kill somebody. This has to be done.
There's no other way around it. I just have to kill somebody today.
(03:11):
Okay. So I should also mention that just like I said, if you feel like you have
to kill somebody, kill yourself first.
She actually did attempt several times to commit suicide.
So this is somebody who has tried multiple times to extinguish himself from the earth.
(03:32):
And somehow through even going to speak with psychiatrists and get help and get therapy.
She still continued to do this several times.
At this point, you need to just keep your eye on this person 24-7, like 24-7.
(03:53):
So anyway, let's begin.
Okay, so I do apologize if you guys can hear like a beat in the background.
Neighbors are deciding to be jamming right now and that is what it is.
Hopefully you can't hear it, but if you do, that's what it is.
Okay, so our murderer today is Anya Johnston,
(04:17):
who is 29 years old and
she has been convicted of second
degree murder on October the 17th of
2018 for stabbing her neighbor
Susan Trott who at the time was 70 years old so they tried to say of course
(04:42):
you know when somebody has tried multiple times to off themselves extinguish themselves apparently
you may have like some kind of psychological disorder of some sort.
You may be a psychopath, you know, like, especially because after they evaluated
(05:04):
her after the murder, you know, they wanted to find out like,
why would you kill this woman?
You know, she has done nothing to you.
What made you decide to kill this woman?
For that, I have no answer. but basically they are trying to look at the situation
(05:24):
on how she approached her neighbor,
what she was doing that day before she approached her neighbor and what she
was doing previously in her past before she approached her neighbor that day.
So basically they tried to evaluate all that stuff, her past,
(05:46):
her present at the time, and of course, them discussing everything with her
in the future after the murder.
So after evaluating everything, they have basically, the attorney,
the opposing attorney, did determine that there's nothing wrong,
(06:09):
like she's not a psychopath.
So they had determined that she actually knew what she was doing,
you know, at the time of the murder.
And I'm going to get into all of it. I'm going to get into everything that happened, of course.
So you can evaluate for yourself how it seemed she actually didn't know at the
(06:30):
time what it was that she was doing and knew very much that it was wrong, you know.
So they're saying she's not a psychopath.
She's not a psychopath. She basically has like borderline personality disorder
and antisocial personality disorder because she had planned this.
(06:54):
What she did. You know, she actually sat and planned and thought about it and knew what she was doing.
Okay. Also, she has always thought of, you know, violence and homicide for years.
For like I said, she has tried to commit suicide several times.
(07:21):
She was, she is, she was
in the process of getting treatment from psychologists and therapists
and all this stuff so she
she's been in the
mindset of death and killing for a very long time also they said that you know
she seemed to be indifferent and it seemed like at the time of the murder where
(07:47):
she was committing the act of killing Susan,
she enjoyed it. Okay.
So it all boils down to she cannot plea the, you know, what is it?
What's the plea where they're like, you know, I wasn't in my right mind.
(08:08):
Hang on. Insanity. They, she cannot do an insanity plea because she was very much,
she enjoyed it she knew what she was doing and she has been contemplating either
killing a bunch of people killing one person and like I said she has tried multiple
(08:28):
times already to kill herself,
so since she was 11 years old up until the day of the murder she has been seeing a,
neuropsychologist, you know, a neuropsychologist.
Yeah, a neuropsychologist for therapy, at least it says at least once a week
(08:50):
she was being seen because of the fact that she did try to commit suicide several times.
She was also said to be diagnosed with like depressive disorder,
ADHD, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder,
schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder, like I said before,
(09:16):
and also a couple more that they did not exactly report.
So on the day of the killing on October the 18th, 2018, she did go to the emergency room.
And she was seen and the doctors basically said she was like calm, cooperative.
(09:39):
Her speech was clear. You know, she didn't show any kind of signs of like panic
or anxiety or anything like that. She was typically like in a good mood.
Okay. So this was before they even found Suzanne's body that they evaluated
(10:00):
her and she seemed to be in that kind of mindset.
Okay. So she had a diary and they basically looked through the diary.
You know, they read it, of course, to see because most people write down certain
things that they plan to do before they do it.
So they read the diary to try to see what they could get, you know,
(10:24):
see if she wrote down her plans for the day of October the 18th,
2018, where she murdered Susan.
So it said that Anya, you know she was adopted and she did not like her adoptive
mother mother and basically.
(10:49):
She put that she was like lonely and she felt like she was by herself,
you know, even though she had her mother and she also has a cat.
So she has a job.
She works as a veterinary center assistant and she wrote in her diary that she has enough
(11:17):
social skills and awareness to act and be seen as relatively normal.
But I am really a monster.
That's what she put in her diary. So in her diary, she also put that,
you know, she has suicidal, homicidal fantasies.
(11:39):
And also the best, and this is quote from the diary,
the best dream ever of injecting people
with pet euthanizing solution
before turning the needle onto herself so she had somewhere within her fantasies
felt like she should kill other people and of course then she has attempted
(12:05):
it several times it wouldn't be hard for her to do to kill herself.
So she has thought about that. She has written this down in her diary,
like people regularly do, just telling on themselves that this is how she felt.
And since she worked at a veterinary clinic, of course, she would have access to euthanizing agents.
(12:29):
So that was something that if she really planned on acting on that,
that could have been a possibility of something that she could have done.
Okay, so let's take a couple quotes from the diary.
So in 2018, she wrote down, it said in her diary that she had an action plan.
And I quote, "'I have made the decision that one will die as I do.',
(12:54):
And she wrote down a month, end of quote, sorry. And she wrote down a month,
that is October, and said that she felt relentless.
Okay. It also says, quote, if you insist on getting in my way, I'll kill you.
End of quote. And then she says that she has a blade and, oh my God,
(13:19):
you better believe I will use it.
She also says, quote, I cannot wait to rip you apart, lady.
It's going to be beautiful. End of quote.
So she wrote all this in her diary, but she never mentioned Susan.
(13:40):
She never said, I'm planning to kill Susan Trott. This is the plan.
That's who I'm talking about. She didn't say that. She just wrote all of that down.
And to everybody else, it just seems like gibberish. But she knew what she was doing.
Okay, so you may be thinking, why Suzanne?
(14:02):
You know, why did she decide that Suzanne is the person that she is supposed to kill?
And based on her diary entry where she She says, lady, you know,
I'm going to stab you or whatever the hell.
It may have seemed like, you know, she had it out for Susan, but like,
(14:22):
Like we said, she never specified that that's who she was, you know, going to murder.
So basically, on October the 17th, which is the day before she murdered Susan,
she actually was planning to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
She had taken laxatives, it says, to make sure that when she dies,
(14:47):
she doesn't defecate on herself, which is, it's known that when you die, some poop come out.
I don't know. I guess she don't want to embarrass herself. I don't know.
But she also packed a cyclone dagger and a small knife in her backpack just
in case anybody was planning to try to stop her.
She was going to try to, you know, stab at them or whatever to get them away
(15:12):
from her so that she could continue with her plan to kill herself.
But I guess it didn't work out that
was not what happened and like I
said this was the day before she actually murdered
Susan so on the day
of the murder she had ran several errands
including closing her bank account
(15:34):
and going to Michael for glue
going to Michael's you know the crafting store Michael's she
went to Michael's to buy bead glue and she
also went to Whole Foods to buy berries
so she did run a couple of errands
I guess to keep her mind busy that day maybe she you know like I said this was
(15:56):
the ultimate date that she murdered Susan so maybe she was probably just trying
to keep her mind kind of occupied we don't know only Miss Ma'am knows what was
going on in in her head. So, you know.
She did all of that. And then she went back home and it's quoted that she said,
(16:18):
I didn't want to be by myself at home. I just needed a distraction.
So she decided to leave her apartment and go up to the, what was it?
The 12th floor to a couple
that she knew that she that basically cat
(16:40):
sat for or whatever she pet set for them so she
knew who they were and she decided she's going
to go visit them she took oh she did take
that backpack she took the backpack with her with the
dagger in it and the knife and also
some latex gloves and she took
it with her up to the 12th floor to visit
(17:02):
that couple but when she got there they
were not at home so I don't
know if her whole her whole situation that
day was to just be with somebody or be around somebody that has pets but then
she thought about Susan who has a dog and decided you know let me go to Susan
(17:26):
so then she goes to Susan's apartment and it said.
That Susan was a kind kind-hearted
animal lover she was a sweet sweet old
lady and if you see pictures of Susan she looks
great for 70 by the way but yeah
she was a she was a sweet sweet old lady and
(17:48):
so she decided this is who she's gonna go visit since
the couple's not at home so they never
really had like a relationship like Susan and
Anya that's the name of the murderer they did not really have a relationship
she didn't really know her or anything like that they just knew you know the
(18:11):
existence of each other basically and she was a kind sweet old lady so So it's like, OK,
let me just go test my luck because she is kind.
She's sweet. More so likely she's going to welcome you into her household. Right.
So she went up to the 14th floor because that's where Susan was and knocked
(18:32):
on her door and being the kind, sweet girl.
Kind-hearted lady that Susan was, she let her in, you know, she let her in and
started having conversations with her in the living room,
you know, and it said that they were talking about work and pets and life.
And in, during that conversation, Anya told Susan that she was planning on killing
(19:00):
herself, you know, and kind of like how the diary said,
you can't stop me, lady you better
not try to stop me you know so basically that's
what happened Susan said no no no no no please
don't don't do I'm I'm I'm not I'm just assuming that's what she said based
on how they put it you know don't do that you know you're so young you're a
(19:23):
young lady you have so much going on in life please don't kill yourself please
don't do that please please please so you
know, she even said that she could get her help.
Like, let me help you. Let me find somebody who could probably talk to you and
talk you down of feeling like that. Like, please don't do that to yourself.
(19:44):
And upon saying that, she drove Anya crazy.
That's where Anya lost her batshit because she was already a psychopath.
And I'm going to show, like I said, she's not a psychopath, but But anyway,
I'm going to show you pictures.
Go on the page and you will see pictures of this young lady, Anya.
(20:05):
And she just looks demented. She just looks like she's not all the way here on planet Earth. Okay.
So either way, that's either here nor there. She went on to stab her.
Once Susan got up, she stabbed her in the back.
(20:26):
And then when Susan tried to fight with her, she slashed her throat,
which severed her jugular vein and an artery, as well as her windpipe.
And that pretty much was it from there.
She bled out and was bleeding profusely.
(20:50):
And then she died. so then
Anya put her in the bedroom and left
to go back to the house okay so then she so then she went back to her apartment
and I don't know if she purposely meant to do it or whatever but she was leaving
(21:10):
like a trail of blood behind her and she cleaned up herself self.
She cleaned up the dagger, washed it, put it away.
And then she went down to the first floor and left her backpack down there.
So after she did all that, she made her way to the Brooklyn Bridge.
(21:33):
So apparently this was around, you know, like eight o'clock,
seven something, 745, 746.
And apparently she went
on to continue with her plan of killing
herself at the Brooklyn Bridge so she went there and then it said that she changed
her mind and decided to call her mother because she thought about it once she
(21:58):
thought about jumping off a bridge she thought about her mother and she thought
about her cat who was it said that she abused the shit out the cat,
So I'm pretty sure the cat would have been like, thank you, Jesus,
the bitch is dead if she had committed suicide.
Either way, neither here nor there.
Okay, so she thought about that. She thought about her mom. She thought about her cat.
(22:22):
And so she changed her mind and decided to call her mother, like I said.
And tell her what she had planned to do.
And therefore her mother called the NYPD to the apartment to basically come
take her ass away and go figure out what's going on with her because apparently
she's losing her batshit.
(22:43):
OK, so when she got back to the house, you know, the police was there,
you know, because the mother had called the police.
So the cops were there and they were asking her questions and stuff.
And it said that she did not she did not respond any kind of way.
Like she you know, she appeared very calm answering these questions and everything.
(23:05):
And then she even told them, I left my backpack downstairs on the first floor.
Can I go and get it? so when she went and got it
and brought it back upstairs she took the
berries that she had got from Whole Foods and put them in
the fridge and then the cops were like let me let me
let me see that backpack real quick you know so then
the police and her mother went through it because they
(23:29):
thought maybe she had like kills and shit because you know she has tried to
kill herself a bunch of times so that's when they discovered the the knife and
the cyclone dagger and the latex gloves so.
You know, that's kind of crazy. They were like, okay, what is all of this?
(23:53):
And then when they discovered Trotz, who was Susan, Susan Trotz,
when they discovered her body in her apartment, because her business partner
called and asked that she, you know, can you please go check on her?
Because I've been calling, I've been trying to get in touch with her.
And it's kind of weird, she's not answering.
(24:15):
So, you know, her business partner asked the police department to go do a wellness check on her.
And that's when they discovered her body in her room on the following Sunday.
So they had taken her to the hospital. They had taken, what's her name?
They had taken Anya to the hospital to see, you know, like I said,
(24:39):
to do the psychological evaluation on her.
And so once they discovered Susan they
kind of put two and two together and so
they arrested her two weeks later on October
the 30th while she was in the hospital
and then five years
later or whenever
(25:01):
let me say May 1st I believe was when
they finally prosecuted her and gave
her that you know the sentence of let
me look at here yeah so just recently literally this year 2024 on may 1st was
where they finally prosecuted her and sentenced her to 20 years to life in state prison okay so.
(25:32):
It's all situated. That's her sentence.
That's what she's going to do. Hopefully she does not get any kind of parole
because it does say 20 years to life.
So that means maybe after 20 years she can try to get parole.
So hopefully that does not happen because apparently she was planning to kill
other people. She was planning to kill.
(25:53):
So why would you free somebody that said I was planning to kill?
This didn't just happen. I wanted to do this. This was my plan.
Either way we lost
70 year old Susan Trott
she died for no reason just because
somebody decided they wanted to kill somebody and it just so unfortunately happened
(26:16):
to be her that day which is it's so sad it is very sad and at least I can say
she did try to kill herself she did try to say,
I feel like I want to kill a bunch of people.
Let me kill myself first. So at least she did go with the plan that,
(26:38):
you know, but however, that didn't work out.
And she did end up killing Suzanne for no reason.
Suzanne spent 70 lovely years on this planet. She was a wonderful woman and
would be remembered as such.
So for all her family members, friends, whoever may be here this one time,
(26:59):
one day, I know that she's resting in peace because she was a very wonderful woman.

Where I did mention that the person who murdered her, he did end up committing
suicide while he was in jail.
Okay. And what was my message during that time?
I said, if you are considering to kill somebody, please kill yourself first.

If it's not working out and you feel like you just have to take somebody's life,
just go ahead and take your own, okay?
Because apparently you're very adamant about that.
And today's story is, today's case is basically all about that.
(02:49):
Because our victim, Susan Trott, was killed by a person who felt like she just had to kill somebody.
She was like, I have to kill somebody. This has to be done.
There's no other way around it. I just have to kill somebody today.
(03:11):
Okay. So I should also mention that just like I said, if you feel like you have
to kill somebody, kill yourself first.
She actually did attempt several times to commit suicide.
So this is somebody who has tried multiple times to extinguish himself from the earth.
(03:32):
And somehow through even going to speak with psychiatrists and get help and get therapy.
She still continued to do this several times.
At this point, you need to just keep your eye on this person 24-7, like 24-7.
(03:53):
So anyway, let's begin.
Okay, so I do apologize if you guys can hear like a beat in the background.
Neighbors are deciding to be jamming right now and that is what it is.
Hopefully you can't hear it, but if you do, that's what it is.
Okay, so our murderer today is Anya Johnston,
(04:17):
who is 29 years old and
she has been convicted of second
degree murder on October the 17th of
2018 for stabbing her neighbor
Susan Trott who at the time was 70 years old so they tried to say of course
(04:42):
you know when somebody has tried multiple times to off themselves extinguish themselves apparently
you may have like some kind of psychological disorder of some sort.
You may be a psychopath, you know, like, especially because after they evaluated
(05:04):
her after the murder, you know, they wanted to find out like,
why would you kill this woman?
You know, she has done nothing to you.
What made you decide to kill this woman?
For that, I have no answer. but basically they are trying to look at the situation
(05:24):
on how she approached her neighbor,
what she was doing that day before she approached her neighbor and what she
was doing previously in her past before she approached her neighbor that day.
So basically they tried to evaluate all that stuff, her past,
(05:46):
her present at the time, and of course, them discussing everything with her
in the future after the murder.
So after evaluating everything, they have basically, the attorney,
the opposing attorney, did determine that there's nothing wrong,
(06:09):
like she's not a psychopath.
So they had determined that she actually knew what she was doing,
you know, at the time of the murder.
And I'm going to get into all of it. I'm going to get into everything that happened, of course.
So you can evaluate for yourself how it seemed she actually didn't know at the
(06:30):
time what it was that she was doing and knew very much that it was wrong, you know.
So they're saying she's not a psychopath.
She's not a psychopath. She basically has like borderline personality disorder
and antisocial personality disorder because she had planned this.
(06:54):
What she did. You know, she actually sat and planned and thought about it and knew what she was doing.
Okay. Also, she has always thought of, you know, violence and homicide for years.
For like I said, she has tried to commit suicide several times.
(07:21):
She was, she is, she was
in the process of getting treatment from psychologists and therapists
and all this stuff so she
she's been in the
mindset of death and killing for a very long time also they said that you know
she seemed to be indifferent and it seemed like at the time of the murder where
(07:47):
she was committing the act of killing Susan,
she enjoyed it. Okay.
So it all boils down to she cannot plea the, you know, what is it?
What's the plea where they're like, you know, I wasn't in my right mind.
(08:08):
Hang on. Insanity. They, she cannot do an insanity plea because she was very much,
she enjoyed it she knew what she was doing and she has been contemplating either
killing a bunch of people killing one person and like I said she has tried multiple
(08:28):
times already to kill herself,
so since she was 11 years old up until the day of the murder she has been seeing a,
neuropsychologist, you know, a neuropsychologist.
Yeah, a neuropsychologist for therapy, at least it says at least once a week
(08:50):
she was being seen because of the fact that she did try to commit suicide several times.
She was also said to be diagnosed with like depressive disorder,
ADHD, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder,
schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder, like I said before,
(09:16):
and also a couple more that they did not exactly report.
So on the day of the killing on October the 18th, 2018, she did go to the emergency room.
And she was seen and the doctors basically said she was like calm, cooperative.
(09:39):
Her speech was clear. You know, she didn't show any kind of signs of like panic
or anxiety or anything like that. She was typically like in a good mood.
Okay. So this was before they even found Suzanne's body that they evaluated
(10:00):
her and she seemed to be in that kind of mindset.
Okay. So she had a diary and they basically looked through the diary.
You know, they read it, of course, to see because most people write down certain
things that they plan to do before they do it.
So they read the diary to try to see what they could get, you know,
(10:24):
see if she wrote down her plans for the day of October the 18th,
2018, where she murdered Susan.
So it said that Anya, you know she was adopted and she did not like her adoptive
mother mother and basically.
(10:49):
She put that she was like lonely and she felt like she was by herself,
you know, even though she had her mother and she also has a cat.
So she has a job.
She works as a veterinary center assistant and she wrote in her diary that she has enough
(11:17):
social skills and awareness to act and be seen as relatively normal.
But I am really a monster.
That's what she put in her diary. So in her diary, she also put that,
you know, she has suicidal, homicidal fantasies.
(11:39):
And also the best, and this is quote from the diary,
the best dream ever of injecting people
with pet euthanizing solution
before turning the needle onto herself so she had somewhere within her fantasies
felt like she should kill other people and of course then she has attempted
(12:05):
it several times it wouldn't be hard for her to do to kill herself.
So she has thought about that. She has written this down in her diary,
like people regularly do, just telling on themselves that this is how she felt.
And since she worked at a veterinary clinic, of course, she would have access to euthanizing agents.
(12:29):
So that was something that if she really planned on acting on that,
that could have been a possibility of something that she could have done.
Okay, so let's take a couple quotes from the diary.
So in 2018, she wrote down, it said in her diary that she had an action plan.
And I quote, "'I have made the decision that one will die as I do.',
(12:54):
And she wrote down a month, end of quote, sorry. And she wrote down a month,
that is October, and said that she felt relentless.
Okay. It also says, quote, if you insist on getting in my way, I'll kill you.
End of quote. And then she says that she has a blade and, oh my God,
(13:19):
you better believe I will use it.
She also says, quote, I cannot wait to rip you apart, lady.
It's going to be beautiful. End of quote.
So she wrote all this in her diary, but she never mentioned Susan.
(13:40):
She never said, I'm planning to kill Susan Trott. This is the plan.
That's who I'm talking about. She didn't say that. She just wrote all of that down.
And to everybody else, it just seems like gibberish. But she knew what she was doing.
Okay, so you may be thinking, why Suzanne?
(14:02):
You know, why did she decide that Suzanne is the person that she is supposed to kill?
And based on her diary entry where she She says, lady, you know,
I'm going to stab you or whatever the hell.
It may have seemed like, you know, she had it out for Susan, but like,
(14:22):
Like we said, she never specified that that's who she was, you know, going to murder.
So basically, on October the 17th, which is the day before she murdered Susan,
she actually was planning to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
She had taken laxatives, it says, to make sure that when she dies,
(14:47):
she doesn't defecate on herself, which is, it's known that when you die, some poop come out.
I don't know. I guess she don't want to embarrass herself. I don't know.
But she also packed a cyclone dagger and a small knife in her backpack just
in case anybody was planning to try to stop her.
She was going to try to, you know, stab at them or whatever to get them away
(15:12):
from her so that she could continue with her plan to kill herself.
But I guess it didn't work out that
was not what happened and like I
said this was the day before she actually murdered
Susan so on the day
of the murder she had ran several errands
including closing her bank account
(15:34):
and going to Michael for glue
going to Michael's you know the crafting store Michael's she
went to Michael's to buy bead glue and she
also went to Whole Foods to buy berries
so she did run a couple of errands
I guess to keep her mind busy that day maybe she you know like I said this was
(15:56):
the ultimate date that she murdered Susan so maybe she was probably just trying
to keep her mind kind of occupied we don't know only Miss Ma'am knows what was
going on in in her head. So, you know.
She did all of that. And then she went back home and it's quoted that she said,
(16:18):
I didn't want to be by myself at home. I just needed a distraction.
So she decided to leave her apartment and go up to the, what was it?
The 12th floor to a couple
that she knew that she that basically cat
(16:40):
sat for or whatever she pet set for them so she
knew who they were and she decided she's going
to go visit them she took oh she did take
that backpack she took the backpack with her with the
dagger in it and the knife and also
some latex gloves and she took
it with her up to the 12th floor to visit
(17:02):
that couple but when she got there they
were not at home so I don't
know if her whole her whole situation that
day was to just be with somebody or be around somebody that has pets but then
she thought about Susan who has a dog and decided you know let me go to Susan
(17:26):
so then she goes to Susan's apartment and it said.
That Susan was a kind kind-hearted
animal lover she was a sweet sweet old
lady and if you see pictures of Susan she looks
great for 70 by the way but yeah
she was a she was a sweet sweet old lady and
(17:48):
so she decided this is who she's gonna go visit since
the couple's not at home so they never
really had like a relationship like Susan and
Anya that's the name of the murderer they did not really have a relationship
she didn't really know her or anything like that they just knew you know the
(18:11):
existence of each other basically and she was a kind sweet old lady so So it's like, OK,
let me just go test my luck because she is kind.
She's sweet. More so likely she's going to welcome you into her household. Right.
So she went up to the 14th floor because that's where Susan was and knocked
(18:32):
on her door and being the kind, sweet girl.
Kind-hearted lady that Susan was, she let her in, you know, she let her in and
started having conversations with her in the living room,
you know, and it said that they were talking about work and pets and life.
And in, during that conversation, Anya told Susan that she was planning on killing
(19:00):
herself, you know, and kind of like how the diary said,
you can't stop me, lady you better
not try to stop me you know so basically that's
what happened Susan said no no no no no please
don't don't do I'm I'm I'm not I'm just assuming that's what she said based
on how they put it you know don't do that you know you're so young you're a
(19:23):
young lady you have so much going on in life please don't kill yourself please
don't do that please please please so you
know, she even said that she could get her help.
Like, let me help you. Let me find somebody who could probably talk to you and
talk you down of feeling like that. Like, please don't do that to yourself.
(19:44):
And upon saying that, she drove Anya crazy.
That's where Anya lost her batshit because she was already a psychopath.
And I'm going to show, like I said, she's not a psychopath, but But anyway,
I'm going to show you pictures.
Go on the page and you will see pictures of this young lady, Anya.
(20:05):
And she just looks demented. She just looks like she's not all the way here on planet Earth. Okay.
So either way, that's either here nor there. She went on to stab her.
Once Susan got up, she stabbed her in the back.
(20:26):
And then when Susan tried to fight with her, she slashed her throat,
which severed her jugular vein and an artery, as well as her windpipe.
And that pretty much was it from there.
She bled out and was bleeding profusely.
(20:50):
And then she died. so then
Anya put her in the bedroom and left
to go back to the house okay so then she so then she went back to her apartment
and I don't know if she purposely meant to do it or whatever but she was leaving
(21:10):
like a trail of blood behind her and she cleaned up herself self.
She cleaned up the dagger, washed it, put it away.
And then she went down to the first floor and left her backpack down there.
So after she did all that, she made her way to the Brooklyn Bridge.
(21:33):
So apparently this was around, you know, like eight o'clock,
seven something, 745, 746.
And apparently she went
on to continue with her plan of killing
herself at the Brooklyn Bridge so she went there and then it said that she changed
her mind and decided to call her mother because she thought about it once she
(21:58):
thought about jumping off a bridge she thought about her mother and she thought
about her cat who was it said that she abused the shit out the cat,
So I'm pretty sure the cat would have been like, thank you, Jesus,
the bitch is dead if she had committed suicide.
Either way, neither here nor there.
Okay, so she thought about that. She thought about her mom. She thought about her cat.
(22:22):
And so she changed her mind and decided to call her mother, like I said.
And tell her what she had planned to do.
And therefore her mother called the NYPD to the apartment to basically come
take her ass away and go figure out what's going on with her because apparently
she's losing her batshit.
(22:43):
OK, so when she got back to the house, you know, the police was there,
you know, because the mother had called the police.
So the cops were there and they were asking her questions and stuff.
And it said that she did not she did not respond any kind of way.
Like she you know, she appeared very calm answering these questions and everything.
(23:05):
And then she even told them, I left my backpack downstairs on the first floor.
Can I go and get it? so when she went and got it
and brought it back upstairs she took the
berries that she had got from Whole Foods and put them in
the fridge and then the cops were like let me let me
let me see that backpack real quick you know so then
the police and her mother went through it because they
(23:29):
thought maybe she had like kills and shit because you know she has tried to
kill herself a bunch of times so that's when they discovered the the knife and
the cyclone dagger and the latex gloves so.
You know, that's kind of crazy. They were like, okay, what is all of this?
(23:53):
And then when they discovered Trotz, who was Susan, Susan Trotz,
when they discovered her body in her apartment, because her business partner
called and asked that she, you know, can you please go check on her?
Because I've been calling, I've been trying to get in touch with her.
And it's kind of weird, she's not answering.
(24:15):
So, you know, her business partner asked the police department to go do a wellness check on her.
And that's when they discovered her body in her room on the following Sunday.
So they had taken her to the hospital. They had taken, what's her name?
They had taken Anya to the hospital to see, you know, like I said,
(24:39):
to do the psychological evaluation on her.
And so once they discovered Susan they
kind of put two and two together and so
they arrested her two weeks later on October
the 30th while she was in the hospital
and then five years
later or whenever
(25:01):
let me say May 1st I believe was when
they finally prosecuted her and gave
her that you know the sentence of let
me look at here yeah so just recently literally this year 2024 on may 1st was
where they finally prosecuted her and sentenced her to 20 years to life in state prison okay so.
(25:32):
It's all situated. That's her sentence.
That's what she's going to do. Hopefully she does not get any kind of parole
because it does say 20 years to life.
So that means maybe after 20 years she can try to get parole.
So hopefully that does not happen because apparently she was planning to kill
other people. She was planning to kill.
(25:53):
So why would you free somebody that said I was planning to kill?
This didn't just happen. I wanted to do this. This was my plan.
Either way we lost
70 year old Susan Trott
she died for no reason just because
somebody decided they wanted to kill somebody and it just so unfortunately happened
(26:16):
to be her that day which is it's so sad it is very sad and at least I can say
she did try to kill herself she did try to say,
I feel like I want to kill a bunch of people.
Let me kill myself first. So at least she did go with the plan that,
(26:38):
you know, but however, that didn't work out.
And she did end up killing Suzanne for no reason.
Suzanne spent 70 lovely years on this planet. She was a wonderful woman and
would be remembered as such.
So for all her family members, friends, whoever may be here this one time,
(26:59):
one day, I know that she's resting in peace because she was a very wonderful woman.
