Hmmm.... Tucumari is only 130 miles from Roswell as the crow (or "whatever") flies

You Expressed Exactly what I was thinking
Also
Is it possible they know each other
& SusieQ had the delivery made there
instead of her more remote Place

I don't know the weather patterns in the area but it seems odd that a house could be "in disrepair" in 9 months. And the last known owner was a single male, so she presumably would have been renting.

Good point. Mind you, at this point, many things could be possible

I wrote my post [ #1384], two minutes after talking to the sheriff's dispatcher so my 'facts' were clear, without any personal interpretation, just the dispatcher's information.

sounds a bit like Suzie was a social drop out. A lawyer that had enough and move to away from people. Possibly she turned into a complete hermit. I just hope she is OK and happy somewhere.

Post #1260: i feel a debt of gratitude to these kits.
they have improved the life of this hermit.
so, i've made arrangement for their care if i die. From her posts about wanting to move to Wyo a few years ago, it seems she wanted somewhere even more isolated than where she was (with "neighbors 3 miles away")
i'm looking at places off the road. no chance of help from cops. If she's still around and reads this (wihout logging in as it would come up in her activity) I hope she isn't taking offense at our concern.

Just in via PM from IGGY (whom I had contacted as he had been in touch with susieqz via e-mail)
I have the same address. (e-mail address comparing to the one Redbert31 has)
I visited with her via email for quite some time.
We were each concerned with the other’s health.
I tried very hard to get her to move to a senior facility or something where people could keep an eye on her.
She refused to consider it due her kits.
Last contact I had was about the same time she disappeared from the forum.
I suspect things went very wrong about that time.

I know a woman who lives in a small one room cabin with a loft. No electricity, heats and cooks with wood. I drove by on spring evening and saw her out standing with a bunch of deer and I thinks she was talking to them. I see here in the grocery store from time to time and she says hi. If she is happy and content its all good. I can see how people could just walk away from society.

I've read of similar situations. As long as your health is OK, what's not to like? Sounds like susieqz has some health issues, though. Which is not good if you live "beyond the black stump" as the Australians say.
Being a classically-trained musician, I thought of a song by Gustav Mahler, "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen", which translates as "I have become detached from the world." Seems that what susieqz wants, too. Hope she and the kitties are OK, wherever they are.

My first reading and post in this thread.
Engineer1911, firs thank you for all your efforts.
Quote:
The lady (dispatcher) was emotionally upset that she could not provide more information "about my friend".
|
The above makes me wonder, if the dispatcher was upset do to the fact that she had no further information for you. Or was she upset because she had additional information she could Not share? Do you have any thoughts about that?
Thanks, old bear

I think if she sees our posts, I'd hope she'd know how much we care about her. I feel like a good friend that I enjoyed so much has disappeared. I wouldn't even mind if she was mad as long as she's ok

Thanks @Engineer 1911 from me too. @old bear it could go either way. The fact that the dispatcher was upset makes me lean (sadly) toward the possibility that her story may have had an unhappy end(and her kitties too) because she mentioned that the only source of outside water was the canal which would dry up in the heat of summer which was about 9 months long in her area. So she always had water out for the kitties. Since this would have been in the height of last year's summer, I don't have much hope of the kitties surviving without her, whether she had to go into a facility without being able to make plans for their care, or the ultimate sad ending. Thanks @Iggy for telling us that you were able to email her for a while. If she hadn't been feeling well, it's hardly likely unless she had help(she mentioned a sister) that she would have moved to Wyoming. I pray that she's ok, but I fear we may never know. Thanks guys! I appreciate all the love you feel for Susie! Short of hiring a Private Investigator, I don't know what else to do. If anyone on the forum is local to Tucumcari, New Mexico and has any further ideas, please contact one of us. Thank you, Redbert31, Linda Pintoff. ( [email protected]) my PM box seems to be full and I have tried to empty to no avail. Feel free to email me if you have any news

Just got a further PM from Iggy:
Quote:
A quick check of senior facilities might turn up something. I was under the definite impression that she was pushing her luck where she was.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the wal-mart grocery delivery guy found her on the floor if he bothered to try and notify her.
She said that at least her cats would have something to eat for a while if she croaked.
|
Yikes.... Somehow I can't imagine susieqz taking to a senior's facility
My gf's mum is 92 and still living (comfortably) at home. She's had cats "since forever". She lost her last one late last year and swore that was it. But sure enough, she adopted another one. If she ever does go into a facility, it will have to allow cats.
ps If the unthinkable has happened, the lack of an obit might be explained that she had no close friends in Tucumcari. If she had a sister in Wyo, she might have posted one but who knows where? Possibly wherever they were originally from.
What are the chances of Chewy confirming an address under her name? In our privacy-conscious world, I'm not sure an enquiry would get an answer.

Further from Iggy:
Quote:
She definitely lived out in the country. It was close to a mile from her house to the mailbox. The Closest neighbor was some distance away.
She was reduced to getting groceries and stuff delivered as she was no longer able to shop or even get to town very often.
She took the cats in for treatment, but that was desperate times.
Like I said, I am glad she finally made some arrangement for that cats. It's encouraging and yet discouraging that she finally acknowledged she couldn't stay where she was. She is/was one hard-headed woman.
She knew her away around dealing with senior situations, as she had helped them as a lawyer before becoming pretty much a hermit.
|
I've asked if he knows anything about her law career. EDIT: nada

Susie was a hardheaded old gal.
She had a pretty low opinion of Soc Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
I don't think she had a sister in Wyoming... She was just griping that it was getting too civilized and too hot where she was.
I really worry about her and her fate, she just plain disappeared.

Thanks @oldbrownhat and @Iggy for your latest additions. Looking back on my posts, I should have been surprised at not hearing from Susie when I posted about the hurricane tree damage to our shed and home on 8/28/20. If she was around then, she surely would have commented and wondered how we were doing. During last summer, I was so embroiled in my own hell, with the tree coming down that I neglected to think that we hadn't heard from her. We had talked mostly about her kitties on this thread but she was always very interested in hearing about all of our dogs and cats too. So if something happened to her it was likely before then. Are we actually starting a"Desperately Seeking Susieqz" thread here? I really think maybe we should, and it should have "Susieqz" in the thread name so it would attract other members in the forum that would recognize her screen name (or even attract Susie herself). Not sure how we start a sub thread so if you know how, you definitely have my blessing to go for it! Please do... It's the only thing I can think of that's available to us, other than getting $ together to hire a private investigator. This mystery is really eating on my soul . Thanks-Linda

I would t know how to go about inquiring, but it might be that a mail carrier, UPS or FedEx driver might know better than LE just where her house would be in relation to the mailbox...perhaps since the mailbox and house seem to be some distance apart, that LE found the wrong home.
Best Regards, Les

This is possible. When I looked up the address on Google maps I found several "Quay Roads" with different suffixes and I'm not sure I found the right one. Google Street View had only gone down one (no surprises there) back in 2008, and I don't think it was the right one. However, you'd think that the local LEOs would be familiar with the area and could also look up her name so might have better luck than an "armchair investigator" 1300 miles away

By way of reliable third hand information, Susieqz passed away at her computer. She was found by utility workers.

If this is true, It was probably Quick and she probably didn't suffer. Meanwhile she had friends to identify with, if only on-line.
RIP...............

My father was friends with an old rancher when I was a kid,Herman. I called him Herman the hermit. Never married,stuck to himself and raised his cattle. When he got old (80s or 90s,I think) he became frail and his drs told him he needed to go into a nursing home. Herman went home and got out his shotgun...Some people just like their independence and being left alone,that’s all.

I am late to this forum and later still to this thread. I have read the whole 29 pages over the last four days and believed I was as connected to Sue as any of you who have been with her through all her joys and sorrows. I am devastated to read about her passing. This dang screen is all a blur right now. Llance
My Kallie is broken hearted from the news too
