Update from PBSO on June 11, 2015:
On Sunday, June 8, 2014, shortly after 10:00pm, Susan Roberts drove away from St. Mary’s Medical Center, where she was employed in the pharmacy. Roberts was driving her beige 2009 Lexus GX350 sport utility vehicle en route to her home in unincorporated Boca Raton
On Monday, June 9, 2014, at 3:47pm, Roberts was discovered deceased inside her vehicle in the Watergate Mobile Home Park on Sandalfoot Boulevard, also in unincorporated Boca Raton. It is believed that Roberts may have been in unincorporated Boca Raton when the crime occurred.
In the wake of the dead body found in a Lexus in West Sandalfoot, we’ve had reports from a couple readers that Sheriff’s deputies are going door-to-door to see if they can get more information. One reader from a business in West Boca Square (the Target plaza) said deputies came by asking if they could put up flyers like the one above.
Another reader contacted us yesterday:
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department were going door-to-door this morning in the Watergate Estates neighborhood, handing out flyers and asking anyone with any information or to report anything unusual that they may have observed to Crimestoppers. The one main area of interest seemed to be on Sandalfoot Blvd, West of 441 and N. Branch Road. The PBSO detectives were additionally recording names and telephone numbers of the residents they made contact with directly.
The location described refers to a fairly short stretch of SW Sandalfoot:
Since the initial report PBSO identified the body as Susan Roberts of Lexington Estates. To our knowledge the Sheriff has not provided any more details, such as the cause of death, mechanism of injury (if any), etc. We are inquiring to see if they will provide such details.
The area along SW Sandalfoot, west of 441, is commonly referred to as the Sandalfoot trailers. Residents also refer to it as Watergate Estates. We think West Sandalfoot might be a good name for it as well, since the area east of 441 is known as Sandalfoot Cove.
