The 59-year-old appeared to park in the middle of the parking lot and out of reach of surveillance cameras.
An hour later, a jogger found her empty wallet on a sidewalk in the parking lot near Mahany Park. Later that day, her dark blue Honda Civic was found unlocked, still in the grocery store parking lot, with her purse inside. Her keys were missing.
“Her vehicle is found Thursday evening at the grocery store, her wallet is found in the intersection nearby, obviously at the time incredibly suspicious,” said Rob Baquera, spokesperson for the Roseville Police Department.
Jacobson stood at just 4 feet, 11 inches tall and weighed 90 pounds. At the time of her disappearance, she wore a hooded sweatshirt.
“She was going to be a grandmother. That’s the thing that is so striking about the whole thing, why she would disappear at that time,” a neighbor told FOX40
“I knew Sue and Chris, they were a lovely couple, they loved each other and had a good time together,” said Jacobson’s friend Bill Hunter.
Hunter had been a friend and neighbor to Jacobson and her husband Chris Jacobson prior to Susan Jacobson’s disappearance.
Police say Chris Jacobson was the last person to see Susan Jacobson.
“I think it’s good, I think that they need to solve the case,” Hunter said. “I don’t think anybody thought of course that Chris was involved in it. I mean I don’t, still to this day I don’t think he was.”
