American Biologist Dr. Suzanne Eaton ‘Murdered’ Ear Cut Off Found In Tunnel In Greece

CRETE, GREECE. (THECOUNT) — Dr. Suzanne Eaton, the American biologist whose body was found in a Nazi bunker in Crete, Greece, on Monday, was murdered, according to officials.

Eaton was discovered dumped in a cavernous tunnel network in Chania on Monday night.

Reports say Eaton was suffocated, stabbed and one of her ears had been “cut off,” according to local outlet Star.gr.

Eaton’s body was found in a network of tunnels used by the Nazis following the Battle of Crete in 1941, which saw the Germans triumph and overwhelm the island, until 1945, when they surrendered to the British.

According to two Greek coroners, her murderers covered her nose and her mouth to kill her.

Eaton’s body was in a state of decay when it was discovered nearly a week after she vanished on July 2, reports DailyMail.

What happened in the hours beforehand remain unclear but her family say it is likely she had gone out for a run.

The only thing missing from her hotel room were her running shoes and it was normal for her to run for 30 minutes every day.

It remains unclear if she died in the cave or if was killed beforehand and taken there.

Her family believe the mother-of-two had gone out for a run because the only thing missing from where she was staying were her running shoes.

No one has been arrested and no suspects have been named.
