THE IMPOSSIBLE GRAVE OF SUSAN CERRITELLI: BURIED IN FIRE
A 26-year-old woman vanishes from Long Pond, PA on May 11, 1983. Her husband waits 72 hours to call police. Fifteen years later, two separate accounts surface—one claiming her remains were dumped off Seaside Heights, another pointing to a shaft in Centralia, the ghost town that’s been burning underground since 1962. If investigators are right, Susan Cerritelli rests in a place no one can safely search—an impossible grave.
In this episode, we trace the timeline, the red flags, and why “no-body” cases are so hard to prosecute—then confront the grim reality of Centralia’s mine fire and what it means for a family that has waited more than forty years for answers.
