BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) — In 2005, 17-year-old Darnell Garfield went missing from the Lower East Side, that summer police found a human torso and head in two separate locations in Brooklyn.

With very little evidence and not much to go on, they could not immediately identify the victim.
remains gave police a partial profile of the victim but it took years to get familial DNA to connect the remains to Garfield’s family.

Detective Anna Marie Bernagozzi said, “It wasn’t until science caught up with us that we were able to make an identification.”
'Garfield was a high school student, his father said he went to church and was a good kid and that he did not deserve to die this way.'
