Jawbone linked to
dead body found
three years ago
The lower jawbone discovered at Mill Basin’s Floyd Bennett Field in May has been matched
to an unidentifi ed body that was found along the shores of Jamaica Bay three years ago.
Wounded Nature
BY ROSE ADAMS
A volunteer cleanup crew discovered
a human jawbone while bagging garbage
in Floyd Bennett Field earlier
this year, which the city’s Chief Medical
Examiner recently tied to a decomposing
body recovered from the Mill
Basin park in 2016.
The members of a South Carolinebased
environmental group were picking
up garbage and fl otsam that had
washed up over by the Raptor Point
area of the national park in May when
one member spotted the mandible at
the water’s edge during low tide, according
to the group’s chief do-gooder.
“It was at the edge of the water, and
it was just sitting there,” said Rudy Socha,
chief executive offi cer of Wounded
Nature. “There was no dirt on it, no
mud — nothing.”
Police collected the jaw bone and
handed the appendage off to the Medical
Examiner’s Offi ce, which ran
DNA tests that concluded earlier this
week that the mandible belonged to
a woman, whose badly decomposing
body was discovered along the coast of
Jamaica Bay nearly three years ago, a
spokeswoman for the Medical Examiner’s
offi ce confi rmed.
The woman’s fi ngers were too rotten
to obtain usable fi ngerprints, but
police attempted to use her distinctive
tattoos that were still visible, including
a panther with claws on her lower
abdomen, lips with a hypodermic needle
piercing them on the back of her
left shoulder, and a large, black cross
on her right ring fi gure, to identify the
Police have attempted to identify the woman’s
body using her tattoos since 2016. NamUs
body.
But investigators haven’t had any
luck and the identity of the putrefi ed
corpse remains a mystery to this day,
according to the National Missing and
Unidentifi ed Persons System , which
described her as between 22 and 33
years old and about 5 feet, 4 inches tall,
weighing 95 pounds.
The good Samaritans at Wounded
Nature routinely clean seaside areas
up and down the East Coast, but Socha
claims he’s never found anything
so grim.
“This is the fi rst body part we’ve
found,” Socha said.
