Trial date set for Loper murder suspect

Published: Friday, January 27, 2012 3:30 PM CST
A trial date has been set for the man accused of killing a 40-year-old Frisco woman.


Terrance Deering Black, 49, has been charged with murdering Susan Loper, a Pilates instructor at Plano's Gleneagles Country Club. Black's trial will begin Aug. 20 at the Collin County Courthouse.

Loper's body was found in a Frisco field on April 20, 2011, one day after she was reported missing after she failed to show up for classes at Gleneagles. Police affidavits said detectives found evidence of a struggle -- including a fired bullet and a broken jar -- at the country club, and described Loper's injuries as "overkill."

Terrance Black
Black is an ex-boyfriend of Loper and was arrested at the Grand Canyon after jumping off the rim in what may have been a suicide attempt. He was rescued from a ledge about 25 feet below the rim and spent time in an Arizona hospital before being extradited to Texas.

While awaiting trial on capital murder charges, Black is being held in the Collin County Jail on a $1 million bond.
