Request for Public Information: Gilgo Beach Task Force Unveils New Information of Homicide Victim “Asian Doe”
The office of Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney today released images that are facial reconstructions created by a Forensic Artist with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (“NCMEC”) and depict what a potential Gilgo Beach murder victim may have looked like prior to their disappearance and murder.
In the event the victim identified as a female, an additional depiction is provided.
On April 4th, 2011, skeletal remains were recovered on Ocean Parkway, Gilgo Beach, New York.
The victim was determined to be a biological male of Asian descent – likely Southern China (Han Chinese South), approximately 17 to 23 years old at the time of death, and approximately 5'3" to 5'9" tall.
“Asian Doe” suffered a violent death: homicide by blunt force trauma. The investigation revealed the victim’s death occurred during or prior to 2006. Their remains were on Ocean Parkway for at least five years before being discovered in 2011.
Information being released for the first time: descriptions of the clothing the victim was wearing at the time of death and pictures of the clothing labels. Although a biological male, “Asian Doe” was wearing exclusively women’s clothing.
- ‘Chrysantheme’ blue ribbed short-sleeve shirt with crew neck
- ‘Rafaella’ brand shirt
- ‘Bill Blass’ pants and a “Bill Blass” bra
Prior to 2006, this person had friends, possible classmates or coworkers, and a family – someone must know who they are.
