I'm not seeing why postgres won't drop a table's column:

bustrac=# select * from statustypes order by stat_name;

bustrac=# alter table statustypes drop column Suspect;
ERROR:  column "suspect" of relation "statustypes" does not exist
bustrac=#

What have I done incorrectly?

stat_name is the column.  "Suspect" is a row value of column stat_name.

DELETE FROM statustypes WHERE stat_name = 'Suspect';
