The remains of a young woman found near the water on Nassau County’s north shore may be linked to the Gilgo Beach serial murders, police said yesterday.
“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,’’ said Azzata said when asked about similarities to ten sets of remains found around Gilgo Beach, on Long Island’s south shore.
He added that the new body, which was found in Lattingtown, died from “trauma.” But he declined to give specifics.
And Nassau Homicide Squad Detective Lt. John Azzata refused to say whether the remains were found in a plastic bag — similar to some of the Gilgo bodies.
Officials said their conclusions are pending examination by a forensic anthropologist.
Nassau authorities also alerted Suffolk County police — who are the lead investigators in the Gilgo slayings — “that we have a victim near the water,’’ Azzata said.
The decomposed remains are of a woman between 20 and 30 years old, wearing a gold chain and a gold pig.
The jewelry may indicate a possible connection to the Asian community, he added.
He asked anyone who recognized the jewelry to call Crime Stoppers at 516-244-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
