His original dumping ground is the
JFK Wildlife Sanctuary on Jones Island:
"The least known part of Jones Island is located just 1.9 miles east of Jones Beach State Park. JFKWildlife Sanctuary occupies about 550 acres and has a large pond, maritime thickets, marshes and bay shores."

The earliest victim we know of is Jane Doe 9098 whose skull was found near Gugenheim Pond within the sanctuary on Monday April 11th, 2011, which was almost 15 years to the day after her legs were found at Blue Point Beach:
"A Suffolk police officer and a cadaver dog in the dense brush of a wildlife sanctuary at Tobay Beach found the 10th set of remains -- a human skull sitting on the surface of the sand. This skull was connected to remains found on Fire Island in 1996." -Newsday
Her legs floated up on the bay side of Blue Point Beach in early 1996. The legs were found shortly after 7pm, Saturday the 20th of April, 1996. There isn't a doubt in my mind that her legs were buried back in this sanctuary with her skull and the rest of her remains which have yet to be found. The Nor Easter of 96, January 6-8th, and it's historic flooding of Jones Island likely unearthed the skull and the legs in a plastic bag which floated down to Blue Point Beach. This same flooding is probably the reason the skull was sitting on top of the sand with a root growing through it. He may have buried her in the sand, or weighted down the bags to the bottom of one of the canals, never thinking forward to the hurricanes and nor easters that would flood and erode the area causing the remains to float up and become visible. I believe today the rest of her remains are still buried, are underwater, or are entangled in the growth within the JFK Wildlife Sanctuary.
I suspect in hindsight this storm will turn the perps love affair with Mother Nature into a love hate relationship. I think we can safely assume this perp already had mixed feelings about his own mother, and now mother nature doesn't care for this man.
The pictures attached show the sandy
beach road that traverses the sanctuary, this road is accessible by vehicle.
I would be interested to see the list of people who purchased permits to enter this sanctuary between 1991 - 1995. Jane Doe 9098 was buried in here as late as December of 1995 but possibly earlier, decomposition of the legs could help approximate.
"A free one-year permit is required to visit the sanctuary. Obtain it from the Town of Oyster Bay Department of Parks at (516) 797-4111, 977 Hicksville Road, Massapequa, NY 11758."
This sanctuary is a
gem and if you are a lover of parks and wildlife and live on Jones Island you certainly know it, cph's family and their love of parks and their employment with the parks service has no doubt put him in this bird sanctuary on multiple occassions.
CPH moved to Oak Beach on Jones Island in 1991.
