Bumping with a kinda masterpost compiled from the information in post
#200 and
#221.
• The timeline
1936: 77 Newport Road was build.
The early 1960s: The property
belonged to Lt. Col. Albert W. Lathrop.
It's unknown when det. William Mahoney moved in.
1964: 130 Bay Knoll Road was build on a former fruit orchard. There was also wineries and vinyards in the area.
WW2 veteran and police officer Roland Liquory + family lived here in the 60s (and I suspect also the 70s, or at least parts of it).
I don't know when the Przygodas moved in.
1977: Convicted mobster Albert DeCanzio was hired by det. Mahoney to fix "erosion problems" in the latter's backyard at 77 Newport Road.
1981: Both Liquory and Mahoney passes away.
1988: Jane Doe was discovered by 12-year old Richard Przygoda. 95% of her was recovered, and she had been buried in a head-first, bent-over position in the ground.
• About 130 Bay Knoll Road
The house was built in 1964 on what used to be a fruit orchard (peaches, to be more specific). In the 60s, the Liquory family used to live there; they probably moved in when the house stood finished, but I haven't found any info on that, when they moved out, nor when the Przygodas moved in.

Roland Liquory was a WW2 veteran and a police officer. The son of the house was Ronald Jay Liquory, a
Class of 1968 graduate from Eastridge High School. I found a Facebook group, as well, but they haven't posted anything in 7-8 years.
• About the Neighbourhood: 77 Newport Road
77 Newport Road was built in 1936. In the early 60s, the property
belonged to Lt. Col. Albert W. Lathrop. I haven't found out when det. William Mahoney moved in.
The property history/taxes only goes back to 1995.
• About William Mahoney and Albert DeCanzio
In the 70s, the Sheriffs Department's had a crackdown on organized crime, which Chief of Detectives William Mahoney called "Operation Step-Up". The arrest and conviction of Albert DeCanzio was the first major conviction to come out of this operation.

During his 28 month stay in Monroe county jail, DeCanzio was first a mob informant, and then an informant against sheriff's detectives. It eventually turned out that evidence for the Mafia trials in the mid-70s had been fabricated, and Mahoney was heavily involved.

• About the excavation work at 77 Newport Road in 1977
DeCanzio told federal law enforcement officials that,
while in custody June, 1977, he operated a bulldozer in the backyard of Monroe County Sheriff's Chief of Detectives William C. Mahoney, reliable sources said. The excavation work he reportedly did behind Mahoney's house at 77 Newport Road, Irondequoit, was to help stop erosion on a steep embankment near Irondequoit Bay. (...) Sheriff William Lombard said he'd also heard "talk circulating that DeCanzio was driving a bulldozer at the chief's house." "I talked to the chief and the chief categorically denied that to me and I accepted that," Lombard said. State law forbids the use of prisoners for personal gain, but the practice doesn't appear to violate any federal statute.

• The discovery of Irondequoit Jane Doe
CW: There's a PM picture of IJD's skull in one of the clippings linked under. Nothing too gross, but a warning nevertheless.
The skull and 9 (later corrected to 12) bones were discovered by 12-year old Richard Przygoda about 40 feet behind the house, and eventually 95% of her body was uncovered. She had been buried in a bent-over position in the ground.
