"At 11:07 p.m. Thursday, the Richmond Police Department performed a welfare check to the home of Suzanne Fairman and found the 53-year-old unresponsive, according to a press release from the department.

“After speaking with family members, detectives hope providing a photo of Ms. Fairman will prompt people to come forward with any information they may have on the case,” said Major Crimes Capt. James Laino. “Any information, no matter how small the detail may be, could assist in solving the case.”

According to a search warrant obtained by local TV station WTVR, Fairman was discovered in the tub of her home’s main bathroom with the water running and a “bloody knife visible on the counter.”

Police said she was pronounced dead at the scene and have classified the investigation as a homicide. The medical examiner’s office said Fairman’s cause of death was asphyxia, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch."

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports a bloody knife was found on a nearby counter and the bathtub water was still running when police arrived Thursday for a welfare check. A city police search warrant says 53-year-old Suzanne A. Fairman was supposed to have traveled to Florida, but she never arrived. Police announced Monday that Fairman’s death had been classified as a homicide.

So she was found unresponsive in the bathtub, water running.

One way or another Suzanne wasn't coming out of that bathroom alive.
 

Detectives identified this person within days of the homicide when he was jailed on charges not directly related to our case,” said Major Crimes Captain James Laino. “While I wish we could have said something sooner to calm the fears of the community, we couldn’t speak to the matter publically until we were further along with the investigation.”

LE hasn't released a name yet.
 
Thomas Clark, a Henrico County man and Richmond-area contractor, was sentenced to life in prison for the abduction, rape, and murder of Suzanne Fairman.

Fairman, 53, was found dead in the bathtub of her home in Richmond on May 9, 2019.

A knife, bandana, glove, and iPhone cord that had been knotted and cut were found on the sink.
Police arrested Clark, 59, on unrelated charges about a week after Fairman was killed.

Clark was found guilty of the murder, rape, and abduction in November 2021.
Fairman hired Clark to work on the deck of her home, but had problems with the workmanship, according to court testimony.
Officers went to Fairman's home in May 2019 when the VCU administrator failed to show up for a Mother's Day trip out of state.

She was found face down inside the tub of the main bathroom with water running and a bloody knife visible on the counter in the same bathroom, according to court documents.
Prosecutors said Clark held Fairman at knifepoint, raped and strangled her. His DNA was found on a bloody knife and the victim, they said.
