Rebecca Suazo was 28 when she left her home in Central Islip, New York, on September 9, 1978, to visit a family member in Brooklyn and never arrived. She is described as Black/African American, with short black hair, brown eyes and a distinctive scar near her left eye. The mode of travel and key movements after she left home are not known, and her last confirmed location is Central Islip, in Suffolk County on Long Island.

The Suffolk County Police Department handled the initial investigation but had very few leads to follow. Over the decades there has been no public resolution and Rebecca’s disappearance remains an open case. The timeline after she left home contains significant gaps and essential details about that day are missing.

If anyone knew Rebecca, saw her in Central Islip or en route to Brooklyn on or after September 9, 1978, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
