The site where Jessica Taylor's identifying remains were found
On March 29, 2011, the police discovered a woman's skull, hands, and forearm at this section of Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach.
DNA tests proved that the remains belonged to a sex worker named Jessica Taylor, whose torso had been dumped in Manorville eight years prior.
Taylor is believed to be a victim of the Gilgo Beach serial killer.
The 20-year-old disappeared in July 2003. The police said she was last seen working near the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan between July 18 and July 21.
When Taylor's body was found in Manorville, her family initially suspected she may have been murdered by her pimp. However, that belief was shattered when the rest of her identifying remains were discovered in these bushes off Ocean Parkway, less than one mile away from the Gilgo Four.
In Taylor's case, the killer went to great lengths to hinder her identification. Not only did he dismember her body and dump her remains in two different places, but he also attempted to remove a tattoo from her torso.
The discovery of her skull at this site proved that the killer had been operating in both Manorville and Gilgo Beach.
