The location where Karen Vergata's skull was found
Crime Scene Location in Massapequa, New York
On April 11th, 2011, the police discovered the skull of an unidentified woman at this site near Tobay Beach on Long Island.
The skull was found roughly 92 feet north of Ocean Parkway, hidden among the brambles near the John F. Kennedy Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary.
DNA testing later revealed that it belonged to a woman whose legs had washed ashore on Fire Island in 1996.
