Tangredi was last seen on Montauk Highway
Tangredi was last seen walking on Montauk Highway, which is just two miles from the location where her body was discovered.
It is likely that Bittrolff picked her up at this location and then immediately drove to Esplanade Drive, as it was a popular spot for sex workers and johns to "conduct business."
The stretch of road that she was last seen on is east of the intersection between Montauk Highway and East Patchogue Yaphank Road (Country Road 101).
