Person of interest sought, needs to be identified, in 2018 Susy Tomassi homicide

On May 9, the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office (IRCSO) in Vero Beach, Florida, provided an update to Assunta “Susy” Tomassi’s case.  Lest we forget, Susy went missing on March 16, 2018, and was last seen getting into an unidentified white pickup truck behind the South Vero Square Plaza’s Publix grocery store, located at Oslo Road and US Highway 1 in Vero Beach.

After Tomassi got into that pickup truck, the truck was seen traveling east on Oslo Road towards the Oslo Road boat ramp.  That was the last time she was seen alive.  A short time later a white pickup truck matching the truck Tomassi entered was seen traveling west on Oslo Road towards US Highway 1 and has not been seen since – and needs to be identified and found.

On March 3, 2023, human remains were located along the coastline approximately 150 yards north of Oslo Road near the Oslo Boat Ramp. The Medical Examiner’s Office positively identified the remains as Tomassi and has also ruled the death a homicide.

Breaking:  Shortly after her remains were identified, Detectives received information from a concerned citizen about a suspicious incident that occurred several months before Tomassi’s disappearance. The citizen told detectives that while walking in the area of the South Vero Square Plaza, she was approached by a white male driving a white pickup truck. The male driver attempted to lure the female into his truck.

The citizen described the male as white, approximately 30-40 years old, with a medium build and almost shoulder-length brown hair. The citizen was able to recall details of the male and a sketch was completed, and that sketch is provided below.
