Deadly Delivery: Postal Worker's Chilling Confession of a Brutal Murder
In a heart-stopping confession that exposed the depths of human depravity, Gary Shane Abernathy revealed, "I just realized she wasn't breathing, and I freaked out," a statement that would unravel the grotesque realities of November 15, 2005.
On that haunting day, the lifeless, naked body of 44-year-old Susan Deloris Underwood Christian was found on a desolate hilltop in Rome, Georgia—a grotesque scene of bound limbs and a shattered skull, her life extinguished by a brutal 20-pound rock soaked in blood.
Unraveling the dark tapestry of Christian's past, investigators uncovered a web of secrets, where the victim had entangled herself with a client known only as "Sean"—a man whose twisted desires for dominance and control would lead to her demise.
Anita Marbury, Christian's friend and colleague, described "Sean" as a Postal Service employee who drove a red truck and harbored a disturbing fascination with bondage, demanding she relive terrifying scenarios to fuel his sadistic pleasure.
Marbury steadfastly maintained that Christian would never have indulged in such violent acts, a stark contradiction that, when paired with the brutal crime scene, pointed an accusing finger at "Sean." The detectives' suspicions were chillingly confirmed when they matched Marbury's description to 34-year-old Gary Shane Abernathy, a postal worker who embodied every disturbing detail of the monster they sought.
Abernathy's confession was a chilling echo of madness. He admitted to picking up Christian on the night of November 14, leading her to the remote location where her body was found. In a macabre twist, he revealed that when he mentioned his interest in bondage, Christian had recoiled in fear, declaring, "No, not my thing, not going to do it. I'm claustrophobic."
In a heart-stopping admission, Abernathy recounted the grotesque sequence of events: grabbing the rock, striking Christian on the head, and then, in a sickening act of violence, raping her. "The rest is a real blur after I left," he confessed, his words dripping with a terrifying detachment that only amplified the horror of his actions.
