At just 17 years old, Susan Snow’s world changed in a single moment. Her father, an LAPD detective, was murdered in a targeted shooting. What followed was grief, chaos, and silence. 

In this powerful conversation, Susan sits down with host Bob Martin to share the story she never asked to live but chose to rise from.

Together, they talk through the raw moments: hearing the news, feeling invisible, trying to navigate trauma at a time when PTSD wasn’t even part of the public conversation. This is more than a story of loss. It’s about survival, the power of memory, and how finding your voice can become the first step toward healing.

 What you’ll hear:

  • The day Susan’s life changed forever and how her family tried to survive
  • What it felt like to be a teenager lost in grief, ignored by the media, and invisible to the world
  • Why trauma survivors often feel alone and how Susan began to find tools to cope
