As this developed, the family decided to reset to Tuesday instead of this Thursday the burial of Jack’s remains at Tanapag Cemetery.
Recky Jack Suda, 40, burst into tears after she laid flowers on the site where the remains of her daughter were found in the jungle area located about 15 feet from the shoulder of the road.
The site was about 300 to 400 feet away from the intersection or entrance of the road leading to Obyan Beach.
Suda’s other children and relatives were also in tears as they gathered around the site.
Suda later picked up some stones that she put on the site where she laid the flowers. Other family members also wrote something on the ground using sticks.
“I really feel the pain when I saw the site where my daughter was lying,” the mother told Saipan Tribune later.
Jack’s father, Sintosi Suda, remained on the road as he has leg injuries.
Sintosi Suda said that when he read the news last week about human remains being found near Obyan Beach, he already felt that was his daughter.
Sintosi Suda said that when he saw police officers approach their house in Chinatown last Wednesday, he started to cry because he already knew.
He appealed to the killer to surrender to authorities so his daughter can rest in peace.
The father said he has already forgiven the killer because that person “does not know the Bible.”
Sintosi Suda said their original plan was to immediately bury the remains this Thursday, but when they visited the Department of Public Safety yesterday morning, they were told that they could not see the remains, which are being stored in the evidence room, because the officer in charge is currently in Guam for training.
He said they were advised to return on Tuesday.
He said they want to bury the remains immediately that day (Tuesday) because their daughter had been dead for several months already.
Sintosi Suda believes that police will soon catch the killer.
A cattle manager at the Torres farm saw the remains in the jungle area last May 11.
Guam chief medical examiner Dr. Aurelio Espinola’s autopsy did not reveal any type of identifiable trauma such as fracture, stab, or gunshot.
Jack was last seen walking in San Antonio on Oct. 22, 2014. The mother filed an official missing person’s complaint with DPS on Oct. 26, 2014.
