Pennsylvania State Police Troop N – Hazleton Station continues the investigation into missing person 26-year-old Susan Cerritelli.
Susan was last seen at her home in Long Pond, Monroe County at noon on May 11, 1983. Her husband, Andrew Cerritelli, said he left their home at noon to go to Philadelphia, and when he returned at 6:00 p.m. she was gone.
PSP stated all of Susan’s family lived out of state at the time of her disappearance, but it was uncharacteristic of her not to contact them, and they all believed foul play was involved in her case.
Andrew was known as a controlling, jealous husband with a substantial criminal record, mostly for violent offenses, and he had bragged about being an enforcer for the Mafia, police said. He was the prime suspect in Susan’s case, but charges were never brought against him.
According to investigators, in 1998, a jail inmate told police Andrew had told him he’d strangled Susan, dismembered her body, and dumped it in the ocean off the coast of Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
Andrew died of a drug overdose in February 2007. Susan has never been located and is considered to be the victim of a homicide, state police reported.
