In honor of SNL’s 50th anniversary, I’m posting an excerpt of my book. I also wrote a tribute to Danitra Vance which can be found here.

When I started researching the cold case of Suzie Bombardier, I wanted to get to know Suzie as a person, not just a picture on a gravestone. I asked a friend of hers what books and movies Suzie liked. Who were her favorite singers? After work I saw that he wrote me back, saying that she couldn’t remember movies or books, but she remembered that Suzie loved Rod Stewart. And she loved Gilda Radner on Saturday Night Live. Apparently, she did Emily Litella impressions all the time.
