Long Islands Other Serial Killer
By Jaclyn Gallucci on March 24th, 2011
Girls Disappearing
The torso of a black or Hispanic woman, also with her head and hands cut off, was found by a hiker in Hempstead Lake State Park on June 28, 1997.
Nassau County Medical Examiner Eric Smith, who worked on the case, which is still activecold cases are never closed in New York State until they are solvedsays she is known among law enforcement as Peaches due to a tattoo of a peach above her left breast.

Cut the fingers out, decapitate the head, says Smith. Those are two ways of preventing people from tracing that person.
Her fingerprints and dental history gone, Peaches was wrapped in black plastic garbage bags and stuffed into a large green Rubbermaid container, along with a red towel and floral pillow sham.
On March 3, 2007, another womans torso, stabbed and stuffed inside a suitcase, washed ashore in Mamaroneck. One of her leg bones and her right foot with her toe nails half polished washed up from the Long Island Sound later on March 27 among the rocks in Cold Spring Harbor. On March 28, her severed leg bone washed up in a plastic bag a short distance away at the estate of Cablevision billionaire James Dolan. The rest of her has never been found.
A tattoo on a torso found in a suitcase in Mamaroneck in 2007. One leg was later found on the LI property of James Dolan. Below, A blood-soaked camisole found with the torso.
Medical examiner records show this woman was either black or Hispanic, 510, 180-200 pounds and had a tattoo of two cherries above her right breast.
The only clues are what was found with the body: a black Protégé suitcase manufactured by InGearsold exclusively at Wal-Marta red, blood-soaked camisole with a Spanish brand label, lavender Champion sweatpants, a blue bra and a tan long-sleeved t-shirt, manufactured by Voice, and ripped up scraps of paper, possibly a page from a calendar, reading cinco and begin to live.
Police remain tight-lipped on these cases, partly because of a lack of information and partly, especially in the recent cases of the Gilgo Beach victims found in December 2010, to not compromise the investigation. How Megan Waterman, 22, Amber Lynn Costello, 27, Melissa Barthelemy, 24, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, were killedand the condition of their bodies when they were foundhas not been made public, only the fact that they had each advertised their sexual services on Craigslist and other websites. And another missing prostitute, Shannan Gilbert, 24, whom police were originally looking for when they found these four women, still has yet to be found.
