Interesting Finds:
The M.O. is the same as this one

dumped in Brooklyn

TATTOO CLUE
It's happened again. The NYPD is investigating the death of a woman upon
whose body were clear indications of possible Irish heritage.
In this case the Irish clue is a tattoo.
Additionally, there is jewelry of a design that also appears Irish.
The body of the woman was discovered in Brooklyn in the early hours of Nov.
18.
The body was outside a house in Snediker St. in the East New York section.
The woman had been stuffed into a black plastic bag and wrapped in a
blanket.
The tattoo, above the victim's right hip, is of a shamrock filled in with
the colors of the Irish flag. The body also had toe rings of a
Celtic-looking design.
The woman has been identified but her name had not been released by press
time.
A recent murder investigation on Long Island also involved investigators
taking account of Irish jewelry, in that case a Claddagh ring.
And an ongoing investigation in Manhattan that centers on a murder dating
back to the 1980s also involves one of the famous Irish love rings.

Woman found dead in North Shore village
October 15, 2005
Murder victim's body pointed to Irish links
By Ray O'Hanlon and Jill Sheehy
The woman whose bludgeoned body was found in an upscale North Shore
community last Saturday morning has been identified. The body of Elizabeth
Parisi was found in Sands Point on Saturday at around 7:45 a.m., by an
elderly local man taking a walk.
The man thought that the body was that of a child.
She stood at just four feet eleven inches tall and weighed 103 pounds.
Long Island detectives originally speculated that Parisi was possibly an
Irish immigrant or au pair, but there is still belief that she was Irish
American. Parisi was from Mastic Beach, Long Island, about an hour and a
half from where she was found in Sands Point.
The Irish leads in the case stem from the woman's physical appearance and
the fact that she was wearing a Claddagh ring.
Her body, which was fully clothed but did not carry any identification, was
lying in bushes close to a tree-lined laneway in what is one of the Island's
wealthiest towns.
Parisi was 24, and a preliminary examination indicated that she may have
given birth at some point in her short life.
Investigators believe that she was murdered at another location and later
dumped in Sands Point, which abuts Long Island Sound on a stretch of the
island known as the Gold Coast.
Her body showed signs that she had been bludgeoned to death. There were cuts
and bruises on her face, which was freckled. But there was no evidence of
sexual assault.
Parisi had complexion was very fair and her hair light brown to strawberry
blonde, according to police who released an artist's sketch of the victim's
face in the hope that it might lead to a breakthrough in the investigation.
"We're taking calls on Crimestoppers and following through on every lead,"
Nassau County police spokesman, Lieutenant Kevin Smith, told the Echo
earlier in the investigation.
The investigation is being led by Detective Lieutenant Dennis Farrell, head
of the Nassau County Homicide Squad.
Parisi was wearing pink joggers or warm up pants and a top with the
inscription "Love is ... patching things up." She was not wearing shoes and
had just one sock on.
At the time the body was found, there had been no missing person report
filed in the tri-state area that matched the grim discovery.
Police said that the woman appeared well groomed and did not appear to be
either homeless or a drug abuser.
She had a blue daisy and smiley face tattoo on her right hip which was
described in a Daily News report as "crude.'
But while the tattoo was not expertly applied, it is the rings the woman was
wearing wore on her left hand that have been the main reason as to why
police think she may have been Irish American.
A ring on the small finger of her left hand had an inscribed letter 'E' with
hearts surrounding it.
The Claddagh ring on her middle finger had the crown and hands clasped
around the heart turned inwards suggesting a relationship.
Her ring finger, however, did not have a ring on it, which indicated that
she probably was not married.
Sands Point is the setting that is said to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald
when he wrote "The Great Gatsby." Parisi's body was found only a few hundred
yards from Lands End, which is said to be the inspiration for Daisy
Buchanan's estate in the famed novel.

"$nuffy" likes his Celts it seems...
Coed slay eerily like '03 killing
BY NANCIE L. KATZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
A Brooklyn trial eerily echoed Imette St. Guillen's brutal murder yesterday
as detectives unveiled gruesome photos of another tortured, raped young
woman - Hunter College student Ramona Moore.
Like St. Guillen, whose battered body was found Saturday in East New York,
Moore was raped, lacerated, killed and dumped in East Flatbush - her corpse
found wrapped in a blanket tied together with shoelaces on May 10, 2003.
"She had pieces of duct tape on her back," testified retired NYPD Officer
Kurt Harris, who found Moore's body.
"Her face was unrecognizable."
Troy Hendrix and Kayson Pearson are charged with first-degree murder, rape,
attempted murder and other charges in the death of Moore and the kidnapping
and rape of a 15-year-old girl who is expected to testify today.
Neither defendant was in the courtroom yesterday.
At their first trial in January, an escape attempt by the two thugs sparked
a courtroom melee.
Supreme Court Justice Albert Tomei declared a mistrial, and ruled the pair
had to watch their retrial via closed circuit TV from Rikers Island. The
courtroom attack injured a defense attorney and three court officers.
Yesterday, Moore's mother, Elle Carmichael, sat stoically in court as Harris
displayed gruesome photos - the last she saw of her daughter before Moore's
badly decomposed corpse was removed from 5749 Kings Highway, where her
murderers had dumped it.
Carmichael testified that Moore had gone to a Burger King a block from their
home weeks earlier and never returned.
Hendrix and Pearson are accused of abducting the 21-year-old honors student
from the street, chaining her in Hendrix's basement apartment and torturing
her for at least a week with a barbell, saw and other assorted weapons.
Moore died from blunt trauma, a medical examiner ruled.
St. Guillen died from suffocation, police said.
Carmichael said she had watched the news reports the night before about St.
Guillen's violent death - sexually assaulted repeatedly, her face covered
with plastic tape and body slashed and wrapped in a motel-like blanket.
"I can feel the mother's pain," she said. "It is quite similar."
