I added an X to the location of where JD 9098's skull was found.
I suspect that the skull and legs were likely buried or deposited in the same area, and that both moved around considerably during the Nor Easter.
It is impossible for us to say, unless one of us made the deposit, exactly where 9098 was discarded, but I favor somewhere back off of the road. I see a pattern of a SK becoming more confident, lazy, comfortable and being less and less careful with his dumping or hiding. I think it makes sense that "airly on" (dormer accent) he tried very hard to conceal the identity and location of the victims so it is more likely that he pulled onto a secluded road to do it. That part of the parkway doesn't give you the same privacy as where the G4 were discarded.
Can you give us a reason for why you want for the sk to not have used the service road?
Where was it stated that 9098 was 100 ft from the parkway?
Here's where it says 100 feet:

There are several other sources, I just can't find them this instant, but I know Newsday said 30 feet for JD#10 and 100 feet for JD9098.
By the way, why do we call her JD9098?
To answer your question, I really only care that our theories are properly informed. I'm willing to listen to the theory that the SK was familiar with either the utility road or the JFK Bird Sanctuary. I listened, and I guess I disagree because you're saying that the SK used the access road for JD-9098. I'm saying that the information we have is that the remains were recovered adjacent to the parkway. I agree that the utility road offers somewhat more privacy, but the whole area is completely desolate at night. You could spend 30-60 minutes on the north side of that highway at night and probably never see a car pass. I doubt he needed any more privacy.
I also doubt that the remains were moved around considerably given the "thicket", but I could be wrong.
By the way, if you could convince me that the SK likely used that utility road, I would be OK with supporting the theory because it would narrow our focus even further. As you know, one of my prime POIs is a duck hunter who might be familiar with one of the largest waterfowl wintering locations in the Northeast - the JFK Bird Sanctuary. I just am not convinced yet that he used the utility road. There was a 40 acre pond in the middle of the utility road and where JD9098's head was found, and your theory requires the movement of the remains a considerable distance. I mean, he could have dismembered her in the Tobay parking lot for all we know given the following:
- ""bay side" rest rooms, on the deck of the main pavilion, and in the parking lot where heads and tails, blood and guts fouled the park."

But there's nothing suggesting that this occurred.
