Multiple people are reportedly in custody in connection to body parts found in Long Island’s Southard Pond Park in Babylon last week.
The news was reported Tuesday, the same day more remains were discovered roughly 4 miles away in a wooded area across from 103 Lakeway Drive in West Babylon. Additional human remains were found Tuesday in Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, about 10 miles from Southard Pond Park.
Authorities said the remains in all three locations appear to belong to the same two victims.
Possible suspects were taken into custody Tuesday morning in Amityville, News12 Long Island and 1010 Wins both said.
Suffolk County Police did not confirm those reports to the Daily News by Tuesday evening, but did say a search was conducted Monday night at 25 Railroad Avenue in Amityville. No human remains were found during that search.
ABC News reported four people were questioned in the Amityville home, and at least two arrests have been made.
Cops began their investigation last Thursday when a girl on her way to school found a man’s tattooed arm outside Southard Pond Park. Its fingertips were missing.
A subsequent search of the park turned up his other arm, as well as the head, arm and leg of a female victim.
The woman, 59 years old, has been identified, Suffolk County Police said Tuesday night. Her identity is otherwise being kept confidential, pending the notification of her family.
The man “has been tentatively identified and was 53 years old,” police added.
Their last known address was the same location in Yonkers.
Law enforcement does not believe the situation indicates an ongoing threat to the public.
