Surita Ann Cohen, 19, was found murdered in Jacksonville, Florida, on February 5, 2003. Her body was discovered in a vacant lot alongside her 17-year-old friend Jovanna Tyrica Jefferson; both young women had been strangled and had their wrists bound. Surita’s mother reported her missing on February 4 after last seeing her on January 30.

Investigators traced both victims to a taxi driver, identifying 32-year-old Paul Durousseau of Gator City Taxi as the primary person of interest. Jewelry belonging to Surita and Jovanna was recovered from his vehicle, cell phone records showed contact with him, and a bedsheet from his former residence contained Jefferson’s DNA. Durousseau was later indicted in connection with multiple similar slayings in the same series of crimes.

Did anyone who knew Surita remember her plans or where she rode on the night she disappeared?
