Police investigating the notorious Gilgo Beach murders have identified another victim who was previously known as Jane Doe No. 7.
Suffolk County authorities will identify the victim at a press conference on Friday, almost three decades after her legs were found in a plastic bag at Davis Park on Fire Island’s Blue Point Beach on April 20, 1996.
At the time, investigators were only able to determine that the victim was a white woman with several distinctive scars, including evidence of surgery on her left ankle, according to the Doe Network.
Her skull was found on April 11, 2011, near the partial, dismembered remains of Jane Doe No. 3, also known as “Peaches,” off Ocean Parkway, west of Tobay Beach in Nassau County.
Last month, Massapequa Park architect Rex Heuermann, 59, was arrested and charged with the deaths of three women whose remains were discovered a few miles further east down Ocean Parkway, near Gilgo Beach, in December 2010.
Investigators have yet to confirm if Heuermann is also a suspect in the deaths of the several other remains, including those of Jane Doe No. 7, Peaches, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack, that were found in the general vicinity.
