UNSOLVED NY - Queens County, Male, 50's, tied in blanket, shot/strangled, Nov 1977

[madamx]

I am always complaining I never find any info on any unidentified people in NYC from the 1970's or 1980's. I came across this and I thought I would post it. Its not much info but its something, I suppose.

NYC 1977: 11/01/1977 - 12/01/1977

A bird watcher found the body of an unidentified man in his 50’s tied in a blanket in a wooded area off Grand Central Parkway and Francis Lewis Blvd in the Jamaica Estates section of Queens. The man, who had $105 in his pockets, had apparently been shot in the head and strangled.

I know he is not in his 50's but maybe he looked older. He went missing July 1977

Poor guy. Someone’s missing this murdered man!

This seems to me to be a murder connected to organised crime.

This seems to me to be a murder connected to organised crime.

Quite possibly - $105 was quite a lot of money at that time.

It was a lot more than my monthly rent!
