The video discusses the harrowing case of Franklin Delano Floyd, a man who kidnapped, groomed, and married his stepdaughter, Suzanne Savakis. The presenter begins by sharing their fascination with the case, which is described as one of the most unbelievable and tragic stories they have encountered.
Franklin Floyd was born in 1943 into a violent household and faced severe abuse throughout his childhood. After a tumultuous upbringing, he turned to crime, leading to multiple prison sentences. His criminal activities escalated when he abducted a four-year-old girl in 1962, for which he was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison. After escaping prison, he continued to evade law enforcement for years.
In the 1970s, Floyd met Sandy Cervakis, a single mother, and quickly married her. After Sandy was imprisoned for a bounced check, Floyd abducted her children, including Suzanne, whom he had a deeply inappropriate relationship with. He took Suzanne and raised her under a new identity, subjecting her to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse while presenting himself as her father.
Floyd manipulated Suzanne into believing her mother had died and controlled every aspect of her life. Despite the abuse, Suzanne excelled academically and managed to maintain a facade of normalcy. However, she was forced into sex work and was subjected to further exploitation by Floyd, who profited from her abuse.
The situation escalated when Suzanne fell pregnant, leading to a series of tragic events, including her eventual murder by Floyd when she was 20 years old. After her death, Floyd abducted their son, Michael, and is believed to have murdered him as well. Michael's fate remains unknown, and he is presumed dead.
Floyd was eventually apprehended due to a mistake made while attempting to claim life insurance on Suzanne. He was charged with multiple crimes, including the murder of another victim, Cheryl Ann Commesso. After years of investigation, the FBI confirmed Suzanne's identity and the extent of Floyd's crimes, leading to his conviction.
The video concludes with a somber reflection on the victims: Suzanne, Michael, and Cheryl, emphasizing the profound tragedy of their lives and the impact of Floyd's actions. The presenter invites viewers to share their thoughts and suggestions for future cases.
