A couple taking an evening walk along a stretch of Long Island's beautiful beaches stumbled upon a disturbing sight. While strolling through Smith Point County Park on Monday afternoon, the pair noticed what appeared to be a human jawbone buried in the sand. Without hesitation, they alerted a nearby beach attendant who promptly contacted the authorities.
The remains were then taken to the county medical examiner's office, where it was confirmed that they did indeed belong to a human. As the investigation continues, officials are working to identify the individual to whom the jawbone belonged. Anyone with information is urged to come forward and contact the police department's homicide squad.
This unsettling discovery was made on the south shore of Long Island, approximately 42 miles east of Gilgo Beach. For those familiar with the area, this location may sound familiar as it was the site of a string of murders that shook the community. In 2023, Rex Heuerman was arrested and charged with the murders of seven sex workers whose remains were found on Ocean Parkway from December 2010 to April 2011. Despite ongoing hearings, the investigation is far from over and authorities are still seeking any information that could bring closure to the victims' families.
Sadly, this is not the first time that human remains have been found on Long Island's shoreline. In March 2023, a human bone was discovered at Shirley Beach, which is also located on the south end of the island. Detectives are currently looking into whether this latest jawbone finding is connected to that case.
This grim discovery comes just a month and a half after a human head was found washed up at Key Biscayne in Florida. The head was discovered by a beach worker who was raking the sand, and the case is being investigated as a homicide. At this time, it is unclear if this incident is linked to a teenager who went missing while swimming in the area. Prior to this, no human remains had been found in the vicinity.
As authorities work to unravel these mysteries, one thing is certain - the human jawbone found at Smith Point County Park has raised many questions and sparked concern within the community. The search for answers continues, and anyone with information is urged to come forward. Our thoughts are with the families of those affected by these tragedies.
