Less than 25 miles from Gilgo Beach.

The intermediate and distal fifth ray phalanges of the hand are fused.

To put this in layman's terms, the tip and middle of the little finger are one bone and wouldn't have been able to bend.

 

[ProudSuggestion3528]

Dix Hills is not too far from Uniondale where Connie Esposito (MP127811) was last seen. Uniondale is less than a 30 minute drive to Dix Hills if traffic is good.

[Mr.Dandy]

I’ve never even heard of Connie Esposito and I cannot find any info about her. She has a very distinct look about her in the picture I saw

 

[DS2021]

Has anyone had any luck finding anything about this doe in newspaper archives

 

[DS2021]

Homicide by blunt force trauma to the head.
She'd be dead for at least a year

The remains were found on wooded land off the Vanderbilt Parkway, about two miles west of Commack Road.

On April 30, 1998, skeletal remains were recovered along the Vanderbilt Parkway in Dix Hills, New York. The remains, which consisted of a skull, hands, and some vertebrae, were located inside a black plastic bag. An anthropological exam of the remains concluded that the victim was a female likely between 20 to 40 years old and approximately 5'8" tall. It is believed the victim was murdered at least one year, and more likely more than five years, before being discovered (death occurring prior to April 1997, and more likely before 1993). In 2024, the Cold Case Task Force, in conjunction with Danielle Gruttadaurio, a forensic artist with the SCPD, and Parabon Nanolabs were able to update the image of how the victim likely appeared prior to her death via DNA Phenotyping, i.e., the prediction of physical appearance from DNA. That image is contained herein. Additionally, the Cold Case Task Force, in collaboration with a genetic genealogist with the FBI, has since been able to determine the victim was likely of Bosnian, Croatian, and/or Yugoslavian descent. Anyone with information regarding this case or the identification of the victim is asked to contact

There was a missing woman whose family was looking for her. I can’t seem to find that thread now, but she was of eastern European descent, and had long black hair. And was believed to be in New York or potentially Florida, the last they heard of her.

Does anyone happen to remember what I am talking about? I can’t remember and it’s driving me crazy.

 

[hot cawfeee]

Aurora.....was the woman from Brooklyn possibly and then moved to the South......its a little familiar.

Aurora.....was the woman from Brooklyn possibly and then moved to the South......its a little familiar.

Thank you for helping! Yes, I think possibly so?

I seem to recall the son was looking for his mom who moved from eastern Europe to NYC and possibly then on to Florida in pursuit of a job. I think she was compared to a NYC Jane Doe (who was later identified) with graphic tattoos, one of which was a needle through the tongue.

I am gonna have some more coffee and try to figure out who I am thinking of.

I think you're thinking of Tatjana Tarasovna Lupach. She was Latvian. I don't think it's her.

thank you! This is who I was looking for.

Darn you are correct, it likely isn't her. Thank you anyways, much appreciated. <3

 

[victoriarobinson642]

I sent LE a tip about a possible ID for her from our Unlisted Missing sheet. NP was 20 when she disappeared from NYC in 1986. Her parents were of Croatian and Serbian ancestry.

Post in thread 'Unlisted Missing and Unidentified Persons Research'

Jan 24, 2025

I'm wondering if case #99, N P, could be a match to this Doe of Yugoslavian ancestry found on long island.
