Investigators are asking anyone who may have seen Suarez between about 7:56 p.m. and 8:12 p.m. on the bike path along the Belt Parkway between Bay 8th Street and Bay 17th Street to contact detectives.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR zFTjo hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1793613656_107_20006206_110126-wabc-missing-jogger-img.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Authorities say Suarez left her job at TD Bank at the Caesar&#8217;s Bay Shopping Center around 6:30 p.m., changed into running clothes and began running west along the Shore Parkway Greenway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">She called her father around 8 p.m. and told him she was about half a mile away from a family gathering. When she did not arrive and failed to answer subsequent calls, her father went looking for her and found her with stab wounds to the neck on the bike path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Investigators are continuing an extensive search for the attacker, using K-9 units, scuba teams and drones. Police said they are still trying to determine exactly what happened and establish a complete timeline of events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Authorities said Suarez&#8217;s cellphone and jewelry were still with her, leading investigators to believe the attack was not a robbery. The assault is believed to have been random and unprovoked. Police have also said they have been unable to recover surveillance video from the remote area where the attack occurred.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Flowers and candles have been placed outside Suarez&#8217;s home as the community waits for answers. People who use the same running route said the attack has heightened concerns about safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;It&#8217;s really sad. When it&#8217;s so close to home, it&#8217;s so unfortunate, and I, I mean, it&#8217;s terrible,&#8221; said one runner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Another runner said, &#8220;I would have my guard up a little more now&#8230;see who&#8217;s around me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">No arrests have been made. Police are asking anyone who witnessed anything unusual Friday night, saw Suarez along her route, or has video from the area to contact investigators. A Crime Stoppers reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for information in the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">* <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/brooklyn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">More Brooklyn news<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">* <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/7ny.tv\/submitnewstip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Send us a news tip<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">* <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">*<a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/apps\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Download our connected TV app<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><br class=\" \"\/>Submit a tip or story idea to Eyewitness News<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
