NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The NYPD wants your help identifying a woman whose decapitated and dismembered body was found floating in the water near Gowanus Bay and Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn.

A couple was walking their dog when they spotted what appeared to be a body Tuesday morning.

NEW YORK-- Police are withholding the name of a woman whose mutilated body was discovered in a Brooklyn waterway Tuesday, WNBC 4 reported.

Police were able to determine the identity of the New Jersey woman through a tattoo honoring an aunt of the victim.

The dismembered remains were spotted by a couple walking along Red Hook Channel. Her head and parts of her legs were missing, according to police, who are now carrying out a homicide investigation.

"If you saw where the dismemberment was, it could not possibly be an accident," NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Royce told News 4.
