Vetrano father urges Suarez dad to make justice a life mission after jogger stabbing
Phil Vetrano, the father who found his daughter Karina’s body in Queens in 2016, has urged the father of Katie Suarez to pursue justice relentlessly after his daughter was stabbed in Brooklyn. Vetrano, a retired firefighter, emphasized that public outrage must remain sustained to ensure the attacker is caught. He offered personal support to Suarez’s father, noting that only those who have lost a child to such violence truly understand the grief. While Karina’s case involved sexual assault and strangulation, Suarez was stabbed in the neck with no robbery or sexual motive identified. Vetrano stressed that letting the case fade from public view risks leaving the victim’s death unresolved.
