Circumstances of Disapperance: |
 Unknown. Suzanne was last
seen on the evening of March 2, 1998, at approximately 9:20 p.m., as
she left work at Babbages Software in the Crossgates Mall in
Guilderland, New York. She boarded a Capital
District Transit Authority bus heading to Collins Circle at the State
University of New York (SUNY) in Albany, New York, where she was a
student. It is believed that she exited the bus at Collins Circle at
approximately 9:45 p.m. and has not been seen since that time.
Lyall was known to be an avid computer user and enjoyed spending time
conversing online. Lyall's work name tag was discovered in an area adjacent to the visitors' parking lot at the University shortly after her disappearance. The tag was located approximately 30 yards from the Collins Circle bus stop, but it is not known if Lyall lost the tag the night she disappeared. One of Lyall's co-workers told authorities that she mentioned she was being stalked by an unidentified man before March 1998. The co-worker stated that Lyall did not appear to frightened of the person.
Lyall's ATM card was used by an unidentified person on March 3, 1998, the day after her initial disappearance. The card was used at Stewart's Store on the corner of Manning Boulevard and Central Avenue in Albany at approximately 4:00 PM. Authorities would like to question an African-American male who made a purchase at the business around the same time as Lyall's card was used in a transaction. A sketch of the unidentified possible witness is shown above right. It is not known if he is connected to Lyall's case. He was wearing a mid-length Carhartt-style jacket and a dark-colored Nike baseball cap with the company logo imprinted on the front. Some agencies refer to this possible witness as "Nike Man." Lyall's case remains unsolved. |
