Phil Vetrano, who found tragic daughter Karina’s lifeless body on a Queens running path 10 years ago, has a message for the distraught dad grappling with discovering his own daughter stabbed on a jogging route Friday: Help nail her attacker.

“Do not stop it — make it your life mission” to get justice,’’ Vetrano told The Post on Sunday.

“It’s crazy, it sounds familiar — son of a bitch,” Vetrano, 70, railed of the fiend who left 28-year-old bank teller Katie Suarez brain-dead by stabbing her in the neck as she jogged on a popular Brooklyn waterfront promenade Friday evening.

Vetrano said he can’t believe the eerie similarities between that case and his family’s own tragedy.

As with Suarez’s dad, Vetrano, a retired FDNY firefighter, went searching for his daughter when he grew worried because he hadn’t seen her return from a run on Aug. 2, 2016.

“I was looking for her immediately,” recalled Vetrano, who normally went running with his vivacious daughter, a world traveler who relished life but sat out that day in Spring Creek Park because of back pain.

“I told her, ‘I don’t think it’s a good idea,’” to go alone, Vetrano said. “And she said, ‘Don’t worry, Daddy, I’ll be OK.’ ”

Those were the last words the 30-year-old would ever say to her father.

After little more than a half hour, Vetrano said he had a “bad feeling” and phoned her over and over, to no avail.

The father of Friday’s attacked jogger also phoned his daughter — in this case, because she was late getting to their agreed-upon meet-up spot — and when he got no answer, went looking for her.

The fathers both ended up finding their children.

Karina had been sexually abused and fatally strangled, with her random attacker eventually caught.

Suarez’s attacker is believed to also have been a stranger, but there is no motive yet. She was not robbed or sexually assaulted, according to preliminary findings, law-enforcement sources told The Post on Sunday.

Vetrano said public outrage over Friday’s horror can help fuel the search for Suarez’s killer.

“It has to go viral like Karina went viral,” he said.

He said he stopped his entire life to find Karina’s killer.

“I had a multimillion-dollar business, and I just immediately stopped. I didn’t give a s–t anymore – my mission was to find this guy,” said Vetrano, who recalled blanketing the community with reward posters every day. 

“I wouldn’t stop.”

To Katie’s dad, he pleaded: “You gotta get public outcry. You have to get people standing up, not forgetting about it, because once it gets swept under the rug, it’s just another little girl that gets killed.” 

Vetrano offered to speak with Suarez’s father to offer support.

“People say, ‘Yeah, I understand.’ No, you don’t understand. Only I understand, and he understands. And if he needs somebody to talk to, to help him get through his life, I am willing to speak to him,” Vetrano said.

“In one instant, you don’t believe what you’re seeing — you think, ‘This is not real.’ “

Vetrano said he takes some solace in knowing that Karina lived life to the fullest in her all-too-short 30 years.

“Karina lived her life as if she was dying,” said the dad of the St. John’s University grad with a master’s degree in speech pathology, who worked as a tutor and speech pathologist and was an aspiring writer and actress.

“She did everything she possibly wanted to do.”
