DAVIE, Fla. – The woman found murdered Monday in a gated community is being remember as a compassionate person.
Jill Su spent several hours a week, for the past nine years, volunteering at Insight for the Blind in Fort Lauderdale. Her co-workers are still coping with the fact that her compassionate voice was silenced.
"It's just absolutely unspeakable," Harry Sharp said. "It's terrible."
"We thought Jill would be in for her two hour session yesterday and she didn't show, so we just left a message for her and didn't really think too much about it," Matt Corey said.
Davie police divers were back in the water behind the home in the upscale West Ridge subdivision searching for a weapon, personal items or anything connected to Monday's killing of the 59-year-old wife and mother.
Investigators still aren't giving any clues about how she was killed or why. Sources close to the case tell Local 10 News it looked like a break in.
Su's husband, Dr. Nan Yao Su, a prominent entomology professor at the University of Florida's Education and Research center in Davie, was unable to view his home surveillance cameras Monday morning and called his grown son to check on the home. We're told that son discovered her body in a bathtub.
"Jill was lovely," Corey said. "She was an artist. She had an artist's soul."
Su was supposed to sit for a two-reading session Tuesday but never showed up. Then they got the call. She was on the board of directors at Insight for the Blind and is being remembered as a reliable volunteer, compassionate woman, and devoted wife and mother.
"Her family, she was so proud of her family, her husband and her children, and I can just imagine what they're going through now," Sharp said. "It's unbelievable."
