Suzanne Elliott (Samantha Ferris) was a villainess from "Grass on the Grave," the last segment from episode 4.05 of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction (airdate July 11, 2002). She was the wife of Gordon Luther Elliott, but as revealed later on, she engaged in an illicit affair with Gordon's crooked business partner, Eric Reinhardt.
Later on, the evil Suzanne colluded with Reinhardt to set up Gordon to be charged with embezzling from his own company, which he owned with Reinhardt. The ruse resulted in Gordon being arrested and convicted of embezzlement, and serving time in a federal prison. Gordon died six months later, but before his death, he stated that grass will not grow on his grave until the truth comes out.
Suzanne and Reinhardt attended Gordon's funeral, as did Gordon's son, Jimmy, who was by his side when he died and calls the two out for their betrayal toward his father. Staying true to Gordon's words, no grass grew on the grave in the weeks that passed after the funeral. Convinced by Gordon's warning, Suzanne and Reinhardt went to Gordon's grave and confessed to setting him up, and it was at that moment that a tractor suddenly operated and killed both villains. Shortly after Suzanne and Reinhardt's deaths, grass grew on Gordon's grave.
