Police: Unidentified man's remains found in Roosevelt woods Posted: Oct 20, 2017 11:21 AM EDT Updated: Oct 20, 2017 10:14 PM EDT ROOSEVELT -Police say they found an unidentified man's remains while searching a wooded area in Roosevelt Friday, where they've been searching since receiving a tip earlier this week. Lilian Oliva-Santos, whose 19-year-old son Kerin Pineda went missing last year, says she fears the remains may belong to her son, although police say it's too early to identify the body. Pineda went missing in May 2016, a week after he got in an altercation with MS-13 members over his sneakers, Oliva-Santos says. Pineda is among four young Hispanic men missing from nearby neighborhoods. The 27-acre search site near Milburn Creek Pond off the Southern State Parkway contains rugged terrain and overgrown vegetation. As News 12 has reported, local, federal and state officials, along with cadaver dogs, have been scouring the woods near West Greenwich Avenue for about two days. A so-called person of interest tipped off federal investigators with Homeland Security Investigations Wednesday. HSI is the investigative arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. During a news conference on the discovery Friday afternoon, officials said they also identified two other potential "grave sites" that they also intend to search. VIDEO: Officials give update on human remains found in Roosevelt Detective Lt. Stephen Fitzpatrick, of the Nassau County Police Department, said the remains would undergo DNA testing. "We don't know who this person is right now, so we don't know anything about his past or who he was associated with," he said. Searchers found the body buried under a slab of concrete, according to authorities. HSI has been probing the MS-13 gang, which police say is responsible for a number of slayings in wooded areas of Central Islip and Massapequa. Police did not immediately link the discovered remains to gang activity. http://longisland.news12.com/story/3664405...roosevelt-woods |

http://pix11.com/2017/10/22/remains-found-...-not-yet-found/ Remains found on LI identified as missing teen; another boy not yet found POSTED 10:31 PM, OCTOBER 22, 2017, BY MAGEE HICKEY, UPDATED AT 10:37PM, OCTOBER 22, 2017 F Remains found on LI id`ed as missing teen; mother of another missing boy hopes her son will be found h FREEPORT, NY — A family is grieving after a body found in a nearby wooded area was identified as a missing 16-year-old Long Island boy. Angel Soler was last seen leaving his Roosevelt home on July 21. Now Nassau County police say his remains were found buried in a wooded area near his home after Homeland Security investigators received a tip. It is not yet known how he died. Angel Soler is not the only teen who recently went missing. Lilian Oliva-Santos' son also disappeared. “It is so sad. Now that Angel’s body has been found, we think the worst,” Oliva-Santos, the mother of a boy still missing, told PIX11 in Spanish. Oliva Santos and Angel Soler’s mother searched the woods near their homes together looking for their missing boys. Oliva-Santos' son - Kerin Pineda - still has not been found. He was last seen leaving his Freeport home in May of 2016. Kerin’s sister believes both young men are victims of the MS-13 gang. “He got some small problem with them because he was wearing white sneakers with red on then,” the missing boy’s sister, told PIX11. Both mother and sister wish Nassau County police would do more to bring Kerin home. “We just want the police to help us because bad things are happening with gangs,” Pineda told PIX11. Angel Soler's mother is heading back to Roosevelt, according to the Pinedas. She’s been in Florida since her son’s disappearance. |
