MA MA - Susan Taraskiewicz, 27, Boston, 12 Sept 1992

Twenty-one years after her daughter’s body was found beaten and stabbed in a car in Revere, Marlene Taraskiewicz remains hopeful that the perpetrator of the gruesome slaying will be held accountable.

“You never let it go,” said Taraskiewicz, 71, of Peabody. “You pursue it and you get justice.

After the newsconference Conley acknowledged that while his office and police are actively pursuing leads, no new suspects have been named nor do they have new evidence to share with the public.

“All I can say is for the past 20 years we’ve gotten little bits of information and explored many theories,” said Conley. “We are getting information, but it hasn’t risen to the point where we can charge someone.”

“Each of us here believes this case can be solved,” said Conley. “Investigators believe, and I believe, that our best shot at solving Susan’s murder will be someone with direct knowledge of the person or persons who committed it. But we still hold out hope that someone out there has a key piece of evidence without realizing its importance. Maybe they saw her between the time she left Logan and was discovered here in Revere. Maybe they saw someone else driving her Tercel."

“The consensus among investigators and prosecutors is that someone knows who killed Susan,” he continued. “We believe very strongly that someone out there has personal knowledge that could close this case. Someone has the ability to end half a lifetime of waiting and wondering for Susan’s family and loved ones.”

Here are some older articles. No answer about whether or not she made it to the sandwich shop, but I also get the impression she didn't.

Wish we had a clear picture of the lost medallion and crucifix.

Maybe it will be the sound of a grandchild’s laughter or a hug from a daughter just before she leaves for work one day.

Marlene Taraskiewicz is convinced some small act of domestic joy like a laugh or a hug will prompt someone to finally help solve the murder of her 27-year-old daughter, Susan, who was killed in Revere 24 years ago Wednesday.

“I know there are people out there who know about Susan’s murder,’’ she said in a telephone interview Monday while filming a video about her daughter’s death for use on the State Police Facebook page. “As the years go by and they have children and grandchildren . . . after a while, you just can’t live with it.”

In the years since her daughter’s death, Marlene Taraskiewicz has also lost her husband, Ronald Sr., and her son, Ronald Jr., but has never veered from her goal of learning who killed her daughter.

“I know this is something that I have to do for Susan,’’ said Taraskiewicz, who has one surviving child, her daughter, Deborah. “I know that Susan’s murder can and will be solved. I want to bring peace to my family and all of her friends.’’

"At the time of her death, other Northwest ramp employees were involved in a major credit card theft ring," State Police said in a Facebook post Wednesday. "Susan, who had endured vicious harassment from her co-workers, was not part of the ring."

Clear Channel Outdoor is donating electronic billboard space, starting Sept. 14, to help solicit information about the case. The new video and the billboard will be posted on the State Police's Facebook page and other media platforms in the coming days.

"Today, nearly a quarter of a century after her homicide, Susan's case remains extremely active," State Police said. "Investigators work the case every day, and know that there are people with knowledge of the murder who have not yet told what they know. Justice for Susan is long overdue. Help us speak for her and bring some peace to her family."

One thing I have wondered, but have not found yet, and just looked again from the above articles is if she made it to the sandwich shop and got the food or was she killed before she made it to the sandwich shop.
