Unsolved Murder Monday: Su Taraskiewicz
On September 12, 1992, 27-year-old Northwest Airlines ramp supervisor Su Taraskiewicz left work at Boston's Logan Airport to go get food for her coworkers. It was the last time they ever saw Su alive. Two days later, Su's body was found in the trunk of her car at a nearby auto body shop; she had been stabbed and beaten to death. Her family thought Su had been the victim of a random attack until her mother found Su's diary in late 1993. In the diary, Su wrote about sexual harassment, threatening graffiti (including a drawing of a coffin), and other things that had happened to her at work, and her mother began to suspect that this might have something to do with her murder. Police discovered that some of Su's coworkers had been operating a stolen credit card ring; two of the main suspects in her murder (Joseph Nuzzo and Robert Brooks) were involved in this illegal activity, but no one has ever been charged with her murder.
The Massachusetts State Police produced a video about this case in 2016. You can watch it here:
If you have any information about this case, please contact the State Police Detective Unit for Suffolk County at 617-727-8817. Su was a strong woman working in a male-dominated profession, an aspiring cartoonist who loved Peanuts, and a giving person who is dearly missed by her family. It's time to put her killer behind bars.
