The other murdered Costello...
June, 1986 PATRICIA COSTELLO of Brentwood, Suffolk County, was living in Bay Shore at the time of her murder. She worked as a topless dancer/cocktail waitress at various bars in Suffolk County. At about 5pm, Sunday, June 1, 1986, a horseback rider in Heckscher State Park found Ms. Costello’s nude, strangled body, approximately 200 feet from the shore of the Great South Bay in Islip. Seemingly, the assailant tried to make the murder appear to be a suicide by tying one end of a piece of material around Ms. Costello’s neck and the other around a nearby tree.
Sounds like a rookie mistake. JB would have been 19 going on 20 at the time.
Would be interesting to see if she was related in any way to ALC's ex-husband (like sister or ex-wife)
The victim would have been 26 in 1986. I remember Donald Costello (ALC's ex was in his 40's) I couldn't find anything re: any Patricia.
Donald Costello was quite a bit older than ALC. Donald would not comment in the early days. I read they met at church but his address, with ALC, was listed as the address for the exec of Private Playmate Escort Referral Service. This Escort service is connected to Manhattan, too and C Gray is the main name attached to both the Florida and NY businesses. Wish I knew where Mr Costello was from originally.
