"Someone out there is responsible for her death. Someone out there is waking up every day and going to sleep every night knowing that they have taken her life and shattered her family," said Susan's sister, Meg Morrissey-Heinicke.

Her loved ones have been putting up posters in the area, begging people to come forward with information.
