Sue Todd was a police detective in Hercules, [[California]]. According to [[Cheri Seymour]], Todd accompanied the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] investigator [[Sean McDade]] to meet Seymour in Southern California on February 19, 2000, during [[Project Abbreviation]]; the two had found that they shared a source, and Todd believed that a double homicide she had been investigating for three years was connected to [[PROMIS]]. Both carried 9mm service pistols to the meeting. Todd was Seymour's point of contact with McDade when he believed he was under [[ECHELON]] surveillance, and she later told Seymour that McDade had returned to police work in his hometown.[^1]
