Police hope necklace can help ID beach remains

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (WABC) -- Police on Long Island hope someone can link a name to the gold chain found with the skeletal remains of a woman found in a bag.


That bag was buried in the sand of a beach in Lattingtown, on the island's Gold Coast.

A woman walking her dog near the shores of Long Island Sound in the Town of Oyster Bay made the discovery around 3 p.m. Monday.

Nassau County police say the remains appear to be a woman between the ages of 20 and 30 years old.

The remains have not been identified. The gold necklace has a pig pendant on the end.

The beach is about 30 miles north of Gilgo and Oak beaches, where starting in late 2010, investigators found the remains of at least 10 victims of at least one serial killer.

Eight of them were women, some also in plastic bags.

Investigators have not linked the latest incident with the others. They say that no one is able to recognize the necklace, they could seek a DNA match. But that could take months and is not a guarantee.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS or the Homicide Squad at 516-573-7789.

Skeletal Remains of Woman Found on Long Island Beach with Gold Pig Pendant Necklace

By Wendy L Published: January 23 2013

Police are seeking help to identify skeletal remains of a woman found with a gold pig pendant necklace. The remains were found in a bag ...


On Monday afternoon, human remains were found in a bag buried in the sand at a beach in Lattingtown in the Town of Oyster Bay on Long Island.

The remains were discovered by a woman walking her dog near the shores of Long Island Sound at the end of Sheep Lane. Her dog sniffed out the bag and police arrived on the scene to discover the skeletal remains were of a woman who appeared to be in her 20s. There was also a gold necklace with a gold pig pendant discovered with the remains.

At this time there has been no identification made linking it to a missing person. Police are asking for help from anyone with information or who recognize the necklace. Investigators may seek a DNA match if no additional information is forthcoming, but they warned it may take months and there’s no guarantee.

This latest find sounds similar to the 10 other victims that were discovered at Gilgo and Oak beaches, about 30 miles north, when an investigation began in 2010 searching for a missing 24-year old Jersey City woman. Eight of the 10 victims found in late 2010 were also women and some were found in plastic bags. These incidences are believed to have been the work on a serial killer who dumped the bodies along the shore. While many of these cases still remain unsolved, many of the victims involved have been identified.

Police have not linked this recent finding with the cases of 2010. They are calling this case an undetermined homicide.

Police are checking the missing person’s database throughout the state to see if there is a link. Investigators are urging for anyone with information that can help to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at (800) 244-TIPS or the Homicide Squad at (516) 573-7789. All callers will remain anonymous.

Gilgo Beach Serial Killer's 11th Victim May Have Been Found by Dog Walker
Friday, 25 Jan 2013 09:12 AM

By Michael Mullins
The recently discovered body of a young woman on the north shore of New York's Long Island could be the 11th known victim of the infamous Gilgo Beach serial killer, according to police in Nassau County.

The remains of the unidentified victim, who police estimate to have been between 20 and 30 years of age, were discovered earlier this week by a woman walking her dog along the beach in the Long Island village of Lattingtown. According to authorities, the woman's dog sniffed out the body, pulling her owner to the bag of bones.

Though the victim's race has yet to be determined, police believe her to be Asian because a 24-karat gold chain with a pig pendant was found with the remains. Twenty-four karat gold is frequently sold in jewelry stores that cater to the Asian community, and police believe the pig pendant likely symbolizes the Chinese Zodiac Pig.

"Obviously, we’re near the water, [Gilgo] bodies were found near the water — that’s a similarity but there are other dissimilarities so it’s much too early to say that we definitely have a connection," Nassau Homicide Squad Detective Lt. John Azzata told the New York Post.

Between December 2010 and April 2011, Nassau County police have found 10 bodies scattered along Long Island's Gilgo Beach, which is located along the southern shoreline, 30 miles from where Monday's discovery took place. All but two of the 10 victims were young women in their 20s who were associated with escort services.

Police first stumbled across some of the bodies while searching for a missing 24-year-old New Jersey woman who was believed to be a prostitute.

The other two victims discovered along Gilgo Beach were an unidentified toddler and an unidentified Asian man, who police say had a slim build and was wearing woman's clothing when he was killed. Like his fellow victims, the man is also believed to have been an escort.

Though the majority of the bodies were found intact, in several cases the serial killer severed several of the victims' body parts, and in at least one case scattered the limbs as far as Fire Island, approximately 15 miles north of where the other bodies were found. All 10 of the victims' decomposing body parts were found in plastic bags.

Police have yet to say what type of bag the latest victim was found in and when the actual murder likely occurred.
