The Butcher Painter Part One: Suzy

Listen for free

View show details

In February 1995, El Paso, Texas woke to a nightmare unlike anything the city had ever seen. Over the course of five days, twenty-one body parts appeared across both Texas and New Mexico, found in culverts, cardboard boxes, roadside blankets, even dumpsters. Each piece belonged to the same woman. Each had been dismembered with exacting precision. And each was coated in a metallic silver-blue paint that transformed human remains into something cold, artificial, deliberate.

The victim remained unidentified until investigators made the extraordinary choice to show her reconstructed head on live television.

The city recognized her immediately.

She was Suzy Gae Bradley, a 33-year-old artist, veteran, and East Side resident whose friends had been quietly worried when she failed to show up for work. Her husband, James Patrick Bradley, insisted she had gone on a painting trip to Ruidoso. Her purse, car keys, and half-finished coffee inside their home told a different story.

Part One tracks the discoveries, the forensic work, the public shock, and the unraveling inconsistencies inside the Bradley home.
