A new victim has been identified by investigators in the Gilgo Beach murders case, but the latest discovery is not being used to charge the accused Long Island serial killer, according to the lead prosecutor.

The victim, previously known as “Fire Island Jane Doe,” was identified as 34-year-old Karen Vergata more than 27 years after her severed remains were found on a New York shore, Fox News reported. However, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told reporters on Friday that Vergata is part of a separate investigation for the Gilgo Beach task force.

“It's important to note that there are no charges at this time,” Tierney said at a news conference. “We are going to continue to work this particular case, as we did the Gilgo Four investigation.”

The district attorney declined to comment on whether suspect Rex Heuermann could be connected to her murder as the investigation is confidential.

Vergata’s severed legs and feet were found in 1996 on Bay Shore. Fifteen years later, her skull was found in Brooklyn.

“In August of 2022, approximately six months after we formed this Gilgo task force, a DNA profile suitable for genealogical comparison was developed for Karen Vergata,” Tierney said. “In September 2022, the FBI was able, via a genetic genealogy review, to identify Ms. Vergata presumptively as Fire Island Jane Doe.”

Heuermann was charged last month with three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of three women who comprise the “Gilgo Four” victims. He pleaded not guilty to those charges. The death of the fourth woman has yet to be used as a criminal charge against Heuermann.

Between 2010 and 2011, the once-unsolved case drew national attention when 11 sets of remains were found in the search for a missing woman on Long Island. Most of the bodies were found in the same area, including Vergata’s.
