The site where Asian Doe was found

On April 4th, 2011, a police search team discovered the skeleton of a young Asian male at this section of Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach.

The victim, who remains unidentified, is commonly referred to as "Asian Male" and "Asian Doe".

Notably, he is the only confirmed male victim of the Long Island serial killer (LISK).

His body was found just 0.3 miles east of the Gilgo Four and roughly 0.6 miles west of Jessica Taylor's skull.

The police believe that he was 5'3" to 5'9" and aged between 17 and 23. It is likely that he was of Southern Chinese descent.

He was found wearing women's clothing. Therefore, it is possible that he may have cross-dressed or identified as a woman.

Given the killer's M.O. and preferred victim type, it is possible that he worked as an escort in Manhattan.

Unlike the Gilgo Four, who the police believe were asphyxiated, "Asian Male" died of blunt force trauma. This, coupled with the female clothing, initially led to speculation that the killer may have beaten him to death after discovering that he wasn't a cisgender woman.

In July 2003, the police arrested a Massapequa resident named Rex Heuermann in connection with the Gilgo Beach killings. As of December 2024, he has been charged with seven of the murders.

Notably, Heuermann's Google search history revealed that he had searched for transsexual escorts and "Asian twinks" (the word "twink" is gay slang for a young, homosexual man who is slim and has little body hair).

It is believed that the victim had poor dental health, as he had lost a front tooth, a bottom molar, and a top molar at some point prior to his death. He may have also had a musculoskeletal disorder that affected how he walked.

The authorities have estimated that the victim died 5–10 years before the skeletal remains were discovered, which means that he likely disappeared between 2001 and 2006.
