Lansing, Michigan- Suzanne Page,News Director/Anchor/Producer of WLAJ ABC3NEWS resigned early Friday after 5 months at WLAJ,due to what a spokesman for the Freedom Communications owned ABC station said was "For Personal Reasons as well as Stress related to the additional duties given to her by a now former general manager of WLAJ".

But insiders at the short staffed TV station say that the real reason was due to an investigation done by Detroit television station WXYZ TV of accusations that Suzanne Page (under her real name Suzanne Wangler) took over $149,000 from a client of her annuites firm Suzanne and Company" an accusation she later admitted to in a phone interview just as the story went to air On thursday night.

While a police investigation was concluded, the Oakland County Proscutor had yet to decide to press charges in the case.

 

Until a new lead anchor/ND/Producer is named, ABC3NEWS continues to be ancored by Bill Albin or Mandy Miller, the only two news reporters working at the station.

 

We hope things work out for Suzanne and that everything turns out for the better in her personal life

According to the video on the FOX2 Detroit website, it was an "apparent suicide" and she "had hanged herself".

 

Also according to the story, she had went to a local police department to get her blood alcohol level checked for a previous DUI. She blew a .05 (.08 is legally drunk in Michigan) though she wasn't allowed to have any alcohol in her system.

 

She returned home, for some reason the police were called and they are the ones who discovered her.

 

Again, this is all from FOX2 Detroit. (link) Sad :D
