Skeletal Remains Could Boost Gilgo Serial Killer Tally to 11 Victims

As Suffolk Police continue their investigation into the murders of 10 victims found along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach, a new set of skeletal remains found in Manorville Friday could potentially boost that number to 11.

Suffolk Police will not comment if the remains, found a quarter of a mile west of Wading River Road, are tied to the Gilgo case which dates back to December 2010 when the first set of remains were found between Oak Beach and Gilgo Beach. They said they could not comment on whether the remains included a head or what body parts were involved.

“At this time we can not say if the remains are connected to any other cases. The scene will be processed and reevaluated to see if further searching is necessary,” police told Patch Saturday.

Two Gilgo victims’ body parts were found a short distance from the newest discovery site in Manorville.

One is an unidentified woman tagged as Jane Doe No. 6 whose torso and left foot were found first in Manorville in 2000 and whose head, hands and right foot were found Gilgo in April, 2011

The victim was an adult white woman between the ages of 18 and 40 and stood about 5 foot 2 inches. A medical examiner database report states the victim’s right and left nasal bones had been fractured and healed. Police have stated the victim had a tattoo on her right ankle but the database report does not indicate that.

The partial remains of Jessica Taylor were found in Manorville in 2003 and her head was found in Gilgo Beach in 2011.

The newest set of remains is being brought to the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner. Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Squad at 631-852-6392 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
