Mother of Logan Airport Worker Killed in 1992 Questions Police Cover-Up

On September 13, 1992, Susan Taraskiewicz, a ramp crew chief at Logan Airport for Northwest Airlines, was murdered. Her body was discovered in the trunk of a car outside an auto repair shop in Revere, Massachusetts. Authorities believe she was killed elsewhere and that she had left her workplace to buy sandwiches for her colleagues. Marlene Taraskiewicz, Susan's mother, has been advocating for justice since her daughter's death, believing that there is a cover-up involved in the investigation. For over three decades, Marlene has stood outside Logan Airport on the anniversary of her daughter's death, holding a sign to solicit information from the public. She is convinced that police have a suspect in mind but are withholding information. Marlene has expressed her frustration over the lack of arrests and the slow progress of the investigation, which she claims took 13 years to gain traction. In 2017, she publicly addressed the perpetrator, accusing them of taking her daughter's life out of greed. Marlene has also worked to ensure that a reward for information about the case remains available, despite the merger of Northwest Airlines with Delta in 2008. She received confirmation from Delta that the reward, established in 1995, is still active. Marlene continues to urge anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward, believing that even minor details could lead to significant breakthroughs in the case. Her relentless pursuit of justice highlights the ongoing pain and unresolved nature of her daughter's murder.
