Susan Carol Laimer, 42, was last seen February 7, 2001, in Sugar Loaf, New York. She’d been struggling with alcoholism and a rare blood disorder that left purple scars on her legs; she also had scars from plastic and back surgery. On February 26, 2001, she began a three-day alcohol rehab program at Mercy Community Hospital.

Her boyfriend, Joe Puccio, said she returned from the program, packed her belongings into a dark sedan and left with another person, leaving behind her 1984 brown Datsun and not telling him where she was going. The last known contact with her employer came February 17, 2001, when she called in sick claiming a broken toe. Family concern grew when she did not call her son in Puerto Rico on his birthday; she was reported missing April 3, 2001.

Investigators found no evidence of foul play, but the family views the sudden disappearance and lack of contact as suspicious. If anyone knew Susan’s movements after February 26, 2001, or saw the brown 1984 Datsun, please share what was seen.
