When asked whether the murder was motivated solely by moneythe researcher of true crime stated that This was one of the central factorsbut not the only one.
“Suzane killed for money”, stated Campbell, remembering that Suzane herself had already said, in an interview with Gugu Liberato (1959–2019)that this was the main plan.
However, the author highlighted that the criminological reports indicate a more complex motivationwhich also involves the desire for freedom and the emotional influence of the relationship with Daniel Cravinhosone of the perpetrators of the crime.
Campbell mentioned a speech attributed to Suzane during psychological interviews carried out at the time:
“I was a bird trapped in a cage and Daniel was a free bird. We met and, for me to live in freedom, I had to kill my parents.”
According to the writer, this statement reveals the psychological conflict and the feeling of imprisonment which would have contributed to Suzane’s decision to participate in the murder.
The series “Tremembé”inspired by investigations and interviews conducted by Campbell, portrays precisely the environment and characters of the prison where Suzane and other notorious criminals serve their sentences, including Elize Matsunaga and the Cravinhos brothers.
