Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the circumstances in which human remains were found in Babylon yesterday.
A student was walking to school and discovered a severed left arm on the west side of Siegel Boulevard at the eastern end of Southards Pond Park, between Park Avenue and Mason Avenue, at approximately 8:40 a.m. The student called her father who then responded to the scene and called 911.
Following an investigation by Homicide Squad detectives, a cadaver dog from the Canine Unit
discovered a leg in a mound of leaves on the western side of the park near Graham Place. The same dog continued searching the east side of the park and found a right arm approximately 20 feet away from the original discovery of the left arm.
The remains found on the eastern edge of the park appear to be male. The crime scene search of the western edge has been suspended until daylight.
Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Squad at 631-852-6392 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-Tips.
All calls will remain anonymous.
