Until Janulis's trial, Suslavičiūtė was often summoned by telephone to the Vilnius security offices for interrogations. (One should never heed telephone orders to report to security headquarters — Ed.). She was interrogated by the Chekist Balčiūnas. On one occasion the Chief of Security in Kaišiadorys asked Suslavičiūtė to be a spy and informer for the security police.
