On April 7, 2004, I received an e-mail from
a woman named Elaine who brought to my attention a story of abuse that
ended in the death of yet another beautiful, innocent child. Alexandria
Suleski was that child and here is her story. I want to thank Elaine from
the bottom of my heart for making sure this little girl is not forgotten
and for bringing her story to my attention so that I could help to make
sure the world never forgets Alexandria. I would also like to thank Elaine
for the poem she is allowing me to proudly keep on my site and for her
help in telling this story.
Born November 26, 1983, Alexandria was only
five years old when she was last seen playing outside of her home, she
disappeared and has never been seen again. Alexandria live in Radcliff,
Kentucky with her father, stepmother and several siblings.
On October 26, 1989, Tom and Roxanne Suleski
filed a missing person report, claiming that their daughter Alexandria
was missing. Alexandria had been missingfor three days befoe they file
this report. What would cause parents to wait so long?
Alexandria's stepsister knew the reason.
Alexandria had been stuffed into a plastic bag by her stepmother, on October
25, 1989, she was still alive at that time. Roxanne then proceeded to abuse
another child, leaving Alexandria in the bag the entire time. Alexandria
was discovered, dead, the next morning. Tom, her father, supposedly buried
her body later that same morning. Alexandria's body has never been recovered.
In 1994, Tom and Roxanne Suleski were both
convicted of child abuse,child abduction and murder. Both are serving life
sentences without the possibility of parole.
Alexandria is also serving a sentence.
Until her body is found, she is serving her death, unable to rest in peace.
I pray that this will not be a forever sentence, that she will be found
and laid to rest.
Below is the information that Elaine sent me about
this case and the poem she wrote for Alexandria. I have done searches
on the internet about this and found very very little. It brings sadness
to my heart to think of what this little girl went through and there seems
to be very little information about her. Once again, I give my sincerest
thanks to Elaine for bringing this to my attention and for the love and
compassion that lead her to tell me about this story.
Dear Sharon:
Hello again….following is a synopsis of the case
regarding Alexandria Christine Suleski.
On October 26, 1989, Thomas Suleski informed various
neighbors that his 5 year old daughter, Alex was missing. Over the
next few days, the Radcliff Police Department, the Military Police from
Fort Knox and private citizens searched for Alex however, despite their
efforts, she was never found. The Suleski family moved from Kentucky
back to California approximately one year later.
In August 1993, Nyssa Bruno (Roxanne Suleski’s daughter
from a previous relationship) through her natural father, contacted the
FBI to discuss Alex’s disappearance. Nyssa informed the FBI that
on October 25, 1989, Roxanne Suleski, Alex’s step-mother, had sealed Alex
in a large plastic bag as punishment for wetting herself. Alex remained
confined in the bag overnight and suffocated-while her father slept in
the same room. Nyssa stated that Thomas had returned early from work on
the following day and removed Alex’s little body in a box.
Nyssa agreed to wear a recording device for the
FBI and recorded a conversation between she and Thomas. In this recoding,
Thomas Suleski admitted to disposing of Alex’s body in October of 1989
and later returning to Kentucky from California to destroy Alex’s remains.
It should be noted that ALEX’S REMAINS WERE NEVER
FOUND. This beautiful little girl, taken so young by people she loved and
trusted, has never received a funeral or a burial because her own father
destroyed her remains and scattered them in a place he has yet to divulge.
Based on Nyssa’s statements and the taped statements,
both Thomas and Roxanne Suleski were indicted and sentenced to Life without
the possibility of Parole for 25 years.
Thomas Suleski’s appeal was denied August 16, 2002.
Well Sharon, that’s about it, such a sad case. I
wish so often that we could have saved Alex. I’ve prayed that The Lord
was with her and that she wasn’t afraid. Nyssa reported during the
trial that Roxanne had frequently abused Alex because she wet the
bed. Roxanne was described as “out of control” with her anger especially
where Alex was concerned. I think in my heart that Roxanne never truly
loved that little girl, and neither did her own father.
Sincerely,
Elaine

“Death of The Innocent”
Little Girl Lost
It started as a search for a little girl….
Her name was Alex, with not a care in
the world.
She was reported as wandering away from
her home
She wasn’t playing with anyone, she was
all alone.
But no one found Alex all efforts were
made just the same
Strangers walked side by side calling
out her name.
The strangers who worked together, searching
all around,
Would be told later that Alex wasn’t lost….
waiting to be found.
Her own flesh and blood watched in silence
as she died
Yet they did nothing to save her, together
they would hide
the unspeakable truth.
Alex was a tiny child, only five years
old….
Her sister, a frightened witness of the
horrors that would unfold.
As her air was running out, this tiny
child would grow weak
But she would stay as she was told
and soon she would be unable to speak.
She couldn’t cry out that she was sorry
for such an intolerable act
One that would cause her family, her loved
ones, to totally turn their backs.
Alex would grow weaker, experience lightness
in her head
She would be forced to think about everything
she had ever done or said.
Alex died alone, a slow and agonizing death…
Fighting in silence until her last and
final breath.
Alex was alone, not in the arms of someone
who loved her,
someone who cared….
No one to tell her she was a wonderful
child or thank her
for all the joy they had shared.
No one to rock and comfort her or sing
a favorite song…
No one to tell her how much they loved
her
and that she had done nothing wrong!!
What would it have taken to save this
tiny child,
to pull her from harms way??
What is left to be said when there’s nothing
left to say?
We hold her smiling face forever in our
hearts
and know that she is with our Lord,
In that very special home
Where little Angels with dark hair and
lovely brown eyes….
Are being rocked in the arms of our Lord……
singing favorite lullabyes.
Just a small update. This year, 2009, will
make it 20 years since Alexandria
died at the hands of her father and stepmother.
Her body has yet to be found.
This is my plea to ANYONE who has any
information that could help to locate
her remains and give her the proper burial
she deserves. Please call the
Radcliff Police Department at 502-351-5147
and give them any help you can
to find this little Angel.
Please
don't let them become Angels to soon.
