More human remains found in Babylon, NY miles from home of Gilgo ‘serial killer’ after kids found severed limbs in park
A SECOND set of human remains has reportedly been discovered on Long Island, just one day after several severed body parts were found by children walking to school.
Authorities have confirmed that a set of remains belonging to a woman were found in a park on Friday morning, according to local reports.
Suffolk County Police Det. Lt. Kevin Beyrer told reporters that police believe the remains belong to the same woman.
The body parts were found in the east and west ends of the Babylon, New York park, according to PIX 11.
A cause of death has not yet been revealed.
The discovery comes one day after two severed arms and a leg were found in the same area.
The horror began on Thursday at around 8:40 am when a student stumbled on one of the limbs at a popular park.
The girl called her dad, who rushed to Southards Park Pond.
"The father responded, confirmed it was an arm on the side of the road, and he called 911," Beyrer said Thursday.
The arm had a distinct tattoo on it but was missing its fingertips and it's unclear how they were removed.
Cops and forensics teams descended on the area to search for any other evidence.
Later in the afternoon at 1:30 pm, a police dog found a leg sticking out of a pile of leaves about a mile away, on the opposite end of the park.
"The dog found the leg and once he did, he stopped," Beyrer told reporters.
"Things like this go on, I realize, but you hope it doesn’t go on by where you live."
The discovery brought back haunting memories for Long Islanders as the body parts were found just 16 miles from Gilgo Beach, where the remains of the Long Island Serial Killer's victims were discovered.
"Probably the other Gilgo Beach serial killer making his presence known," a concerned resident wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Gilgo dude?" someone else wrote.
