Great Kills is just around the corner: Google Maps

She is last seen on camera at 6:16 a.m., police said.

But where was she last seen? It would certainly help for people in that area if they knew where she was last spotted on camera. That is also 30 minutes later. Was she walking up an down Hylan Blvd?

‘She was struggling’ — Body found in Great Kills ID’d as missing teacher

Police have confirmed that the body discovered Saturday in Great Kills Harbor was the Staten Island woman reported missing last week.

A spokeswoman for the NYPD said Monday there were no initial signs of criminality in regard to the case.

The cause of death is pending a report by the city’s medical examiner.


Family said McTigue disappeared one day after she was released from an off-Island mental health facility where, weeks prior, she had checked in voluntarily.

“She was struggling and the mental health community let her down,” her sister Lydia Simone said. “They released her too early... she needed a little more time to heal.”

Simone also cited coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions as being counterproductive to her sister’s treatment, saying “we weren’t allowed to visit her, and she could only speak with us on a payphone.”
