Assunta Susy Tomassi, 73, of Vero Beach, Florida, was reported missing on March 16, 2018. She was last seen walking away from the Quilted Giraffe restaurant she owned with her husband, and surveillance footage showed her heading toward the Oslo Road boat ramp. Witness video also showed her getting into a white pickup truck behind the Publix at Oslo Road and U.S. Highway 1.

In early March 2023 a fisherman found skeletal remains near the Oslo Road boat ramp that were later identified as Susy. The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office confirmed she had suffered a gunshot wound, and the investigation was reclassified as a homicide. Robbery was ruled out because valuables, including jewelry, were recovered with the remains.

Investigators developed a sketch from a tip about a man in a white pickup who reportedly tried to lure a woman into his vehicle months before Susy disappeared; the man was described as 30 to 40 years old, medium build, with shoulder-length brown hair. No arrests have been announced and the case remains open. If anyone knew Susy, saw her near Oslo Road on March 16, 2018, or recognizes the person in the sketch, please contact the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.
