On the morning of September 14, 1992, the body of 27-year-old Susan Su Taraskiewicz was found in the trunk of her sky-blue Toyota Tercel in the parking lot of an auto body shop in Revere, Massachusetts. She had been beaten and stabbed to death. Investigators concluded she was killed elsewhere and her car was abandoned in Revere.

Susan worked as a baggage supervisor for Northwest Airlines at Logan International Airport. She was last seen leaving the airport about 1 a.m. on September 13, 1992, after offering to pick up food for coworkers. Coworkers did not report her missing that day and reportedly punched out her timecard when her shift ended. Her mother later found a diary describing severe harassment Susan endured at work, including verbal abuse, obscene drawings, vandalism to her car, and a coffin drawing with her name on it.

The probe revealed that some coworkers were running a credit card theft ring; several were later indicted and convicted for that scheme. A prevailing theory is Susan may have been targeted because she might expose those crimes. No one has been charged in her murder, and a reward offered by the airline remains active. If anyone worked with Susan at Logan or saw her leaving the airport on the night of September 13, any information could be important.
