That's strange. I guess they got the date wrong.
The only possible match I can think of is
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

There are many handless and/or headless does in NY state from that era, for sure:
NY - NY - Orange Co, WhtFem UP9754, 40-60, dismembered, floating in Greenwood Lake, Apr '76
NY - NY - Dutchess Co, WhtFem UP8374, 20-30, dismembered nude body in travel trunk, Mar'80
are just two of the cases I can think of rn (it's still early morning here and my brain is no work-y yet), and then there's this man, found in 1976 (I don't think he has a WS thread).
Route 17 is pretty much the only way to get east-west in the southern tier (I used to live in Binghamton in 1977-79). The only other east-west route is the New York Thruway, which runs through Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, etc. and is quite out of the way if you're in the southern part of the state.
Yes, 17 is a fairly rural road, but most of it was four-lane by 1977 and it was relatively easy driving. But people would say, "Don't stop by the road or you might find yourself looking at a body." Widely known that the Buffalo mob especially used it as a dumping ground.
Interesting and I'd wondered if the Maggadino family were dumping bodies along there, he and Joseph Bonanno were first cousins.
Doesn't it say he's got a size 10 workboot?Considering we don’t have much to go by .. he looks pretty good . Too bad there is no mention of shoe size for William.
