LISK dumped Vergata's remains at two separate sites
The Long Island serial killer hindered Karen Vergata's identification by dismembering her remains and dumping them in multiple locations.
It is worth noting that he probably didn't place the legs on the beach himself, as Fire Island has very limited vehicle access.
The most likely explanation is that he threw the bag into the bay at another location. It then drifted along until the tide finally washed it ashore.
Notably, the Great South Bay Bridge is 13 miles to the west of Blue Point Beach. Given the fact that Vergata's skull was found on Tobay Beach, it seems plausible that the killer threw the bag off this bridge while he was driving back to the mainland.
Vergata's arms and torso have never been found. Therefore, it is possible that there is another undiscovered dump site on Long Island.
Fire Island
This aerial image of Blue Point Beach on Fire Island was taken in 1997, roughly one year after the remains were discovered.
The red arrow is pointing towards the general area where the two men spotted the bag.
Great South Bay Bridge
This aerial image highlights the location of the Great South Bay Bridge. As you can see, it sits halfway between the two sites and connects Jonas Beach Island with the mainland.
Judging by Google Street View images, this bridge isn't particularly busy.
If it was after nightfall, he would have had more than enough time to slow down and toss the bag over the rails.
