Susan Maria Ann Cerritelli was 26 when she vanished from her Long Pond, Pennsylvania home in the spring of 1983. According to her husband Andrew, he left around noon on May 11 and returned about 6:00 p.m. to find Susan gone; he reported her missing three days later on May 14. Susan was of Asian descent with black hair, brown eyes and a bird of paradise tattoo on her right shoulder. All of her immediate family lived out of state and said it was uncharacteristic for her not to keep in touch.

Investigators focused on Andrew early on; he had a history of violent offenses and was described as controlling and jealous, though he was never charged in Susan’s disappearance. Leads over the years included an excavation of the couple’s former basement that produced no evidence. In 1998 a jailhouse informant said Andrew confessed to strangling and dismembering Susan and dumping remains off Seaside Heights, New Jersey. A former girlfriend later said Andrew admitted dumping Susan in a hole in Centralia, Pennsylvania. Andrew died of a drug overdose in February 2007.

Susan’s body has never been found and the case remains an unsolved presumed homicide. Does anyone have information about Susan’s last known movements or contacts in May 1983?
