About Page
Page Newsom never asked to be part of a true crime family. She had a classic Southern little girl’s fantasy of growing up with an extended family and having gatherings with her cousins and their children. Then when she was ten, unbeknownst to her, her father’s sister had been having an affair with her first cousin and was about to lose custody of her children. In Southern Gothic crazy fashion, Susie and her cousin Fritz decided to wipe everyone out. Susie left her brother’s family alive, lucky them. Not only was Page not going to grow up with her first cousins, she watched their caskets be put on an airplane, shipped to Albuquerque, New Mexico to be laid to rest near their father. She also had the pleasure of returning to school with adults tearing up when they saw her, children avoiding her at recess, and missing the student of the week award by one vote to a popular kid.​ Forty years, two true crime books, one made for tv movie series, hundreds of podcast episodes, and several Episcopal church services later, it's time to tell others how to live with severe grief and true crime. It isn't as hard as you think.
