Janet Acosta, a 49-year-old Miami Herald supervisor, was carjacked and murdered on April 25, 2000. She was last seen at work before vanishing during her lunch break. Michael Tanzi, her abductor, confessed to strangling her and dumping her body in the Florida Keys. Nearly 25 years later, Tanzi is set for execution following a death sentence confirmed by the courts. Acosta's memory is cherished by those who knew her, with compatriots reflecting on her compassionate nature and the profound impact of her untimely death.
"It makes me want to cry. That's why I haven't spoken about it. Janet was the nicest person you'd ever want to meet."
"On April 25, 2000, Acosta, 49, was abducted by Michael Tanzi, who asked Acosta for a cigarette, punched and threw her into her Plymouth Voyager van."
