Skeletal Human Remains Found In Calvert Vaux Park
Another grisly discovery was made in Calvert Vaux Park, near where birdwatchers recently found a badly decomposed hand lying face-up in the sand.
Three teens discovered a ribcage and spinal cord in the brush where they went to urinate on a recent Sunday trip, prompting police to scour the area and find more body parts, reports DNAinfo.
The grisly scene was roughly 1,000 yards from the spot where the hand was found lying palm up and the foot, severed with a “smooth cut” above the ankle, were recovered on Jan. 4, sources said.
After the teens found the ribcage, police conducted another canvass of the area and found a leg on the ground and an elbow hanging in a tree about 40 yards away.
Police believe the remains all belong to the same person who was likely murdered and dumped in Gravesend Bay, sources told the news outlet. Investigators have yet to determine the identity or even the gender of the body.
