The Fertility Doctor Who Became a Killer
By Melissa M.. Jul 14, 2025
When Susann Sills was found dead at the bottom of her staircase, her family believed it was a tragic accident. For years, they mourned the loss without suspecting foul play. However, recent developments have revealed a chilling truth that turned their grief into a quest for justice.
The Discovery
On a quiet morning in November 2016, Scott Sills, a renowned fertility doctor, found his wife, Susann, unresponsive at the bottom of their staircase. The initial assumption was that she had fallen, possibly due to migraine medication affecting her balance. Susann’s mother, Theresa Neubauer, believed it was a tragic accident, echoing the sentiments of the investigating officers.
A Growing Suspicion
As the investigation progressed, unsettling evidence began to surface. Detectives found hair and bloodstains in the bedroom, along with defensive wounds on Susann’s body, indicating a violent struggle. Suspicion grew around Scott, especially after inconsistencies in his explanations and the discovery of his blood under Susann’s fingernails. Years of investigation culminated in Scott’s arrest in 2019. Neubauer didn’t even know detectives were investigating Susann’s death as suspicious before learning of Scott’s arrest.
The Trial
During the trial, prosecutors argued that Scott had strangled his wife and staged the scene to appear as an accidental fall. Despite his defense claiming an accidental death, the jury convicted Scott of second-degree murder. The conviction was a bittersweet victory for Susann’s family, providing closure but also deepening their sense of loss.
Justice Served
After years of doubt and sorrow, the truth finally came to light. Scott Sills, once seen as a grieving widower, was exposed as his wife’s murderer.
Reference: Her family thought her death was a tragic accident. It was years before the truth came out.
