ATLANTA, Georgia.- La adolescente hispana Susana Morales, de 16 años, desapareció mientras caminaba hacia su casa en julio de 2022. Sus restos fueron encontrados en más de seis meses después y el policía Myles Bryant, de 22 años, fue identificado como el sospechoso de haberla secuestrado y asesinado. Este lunes, inició su juicio en el condado Gwinnett.

Bryant enfrenta cargos de delito grave y homicidio doloso, así como de intento criminal de cometer una violación y realizar una denuncia falsa de un delito, ya que él habría informado de forma falsa que alguien había entrado a su vehículo y le había robado un arma. Esa pistola, fue encontrada cerca de los restos de Susana.

Los investigadores del caso indicaron que Bryant habría secuestrado a Susana en julio del 2022. En ese entonces, Bryant era un oficial de policía en la ciudad de Doraville, en donde trabajó hasta que fue vinculado al crimen.

Bryant vivía cerca de donde fue reportada por última vez en Windscape Village Lane en Norcross y habría arrojado su cuerpo desnudo en una zona boscosa en Drowning Creek Road.

El juicio comenzó en la corte del condado de Gwinnett este lunes por la mañana. El primer paso es la selección del jurado que decidirá si Bryant es culpable. Esa parte inició este lunes a las 9:00 a.m.

¿Qué le pasó a Susana Morales?

Susana Morales salió a trabajar con su mamá el 26 de julio. Horas después, volvió a su casa, de donde salió nuevamente para visitar a una amiga y avisando a su mamá de esto con un mensaje que decía: “sí, ya llegué”. Horas después inició la búsqueda.

“Las llamadas ya no entraban, los mensajes ya no entraban. Ese día fue cuando hicimos el reporte a la Policía”, dijo Jasmine Morales, hermana de Susana.

Ese día, este fue el recorrido de Susana:


  1. Salió a trabajar con su mamá el 26 de julio por la mañana
  2. Regresó a casa a las 4:00 p.m.
  3. Salió a casa de su amiga a las 6:00 p.m.
  4. Minutos después, respondió un mensaje de texto a su mamá confirmando que había llegado a casa de su amiga.
  5. A las 10:00 p.m. la mamá intentó comunicarse con ella sin tener respuesta.

Lo que hizo la Policía para encontrar a Susana Morales


Inicialmente, la Policía del condado Gwinnett indicó que Susana era buscada como una persona que huyó de su hogar y que no creían que se trataba de un secuestro.

“Ella está desaparecida como fugitiva porque se fue sola. No ha habido ninguna pista para creer que está en peligro”, se lee en la respuesta que envió la Policía del condado Gwinnett.

El 29 de agosto, la Policía del condado Gwinnett pidió la ayuda de la comunidad e indicó que los detectives habían “agotado todas las pistas en este caso”. También pidieron “que cualquier persona que tenga información se presente”.

El 9 de diciembre, Univision 34 Atlanta se comunicó con la Policía para preguntar si había alguna actualización del caso. A lo que contestaron que seguían buscando a la adolescente.

En conferencia de prensa, la Policía del condado Gwinnett indicó que la investigación reveló que Susana fue asesinada antes de que se reportara oficialmente su desaparición. Las autoridades no revelaron las condiciones en las que fueron encontrados los restos de Susana. Sin embargo, dijeron que no tenía impactos de bala.

El principal acusado de su asesinato es Miles Bryant, un policía de 22 años que trabajaba para el Departamento de la Policía de Doraville desde 2021. Susana y Miles no tenían ninguna relación, según la orden de arresto proporcionada por la Oficina del Alguacil del condado Gwinnett.

La razón que llevó a las autoridades a ligar a Bryant al caso fue el hallazgo de su arma cerca de los restos de Susana.

Bryant inicialmente enfrentaba cargos por ocultar la muerte de otra persona y realizar un informe falso de un delito. Sin embargo, ahora enfrenta cargos de asesinato y secuestro e intentar violarla.

El hallazgo de los restos de Susana Morales


El miércoles 8 de febrero, la Policía de Gwinnett informó que habían identificado que los restos humanos hallados dos días antes cerca de la autopista 316, entre Drowning Creek y la línea del condado de Barrow, eran los de Susana.

"Desafortunadamente los restos que fueron encontrados fueron los de Susana Morales", confirmó a Univision 34 Atlanta la oficial Hideshi Valle, de la Policía del condado Gwinnett.

El 13 de febrero se informó del arresto de Miles Bryant, que hoy se sabe vivía cerca de ella y “tiró su cadáver desnudo en el bosque”. La información se detalla en la orden de arresto.

En el documento también se indica que Bryant tiene “lazos significativos fuera de Georgia” y tuvo “intentos de esconderse, huir y ocultar su identidad” por lo que se cree que si es dejado en libertad bajo fianza podría huir de las autoridades.

Bryant está detenido en el Centro de Detención de Gwinnett sin derecho a fianza y trabajó como oficial de Policía en el Departamento de Policía de Doraville hasta el día que fue detenido.
