New York officials to release new renderings of possible Gilgo Beach victim

Law enforcement officials are set to release new information Monday about one of the victims whose remains were found along a coastal highway in New York ‘s Long Island more than a decade ago, a string of deaths known as the Gilgo Beach killings.

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement that the task force investigating the killings will also discuss other developments in the yearslong investigation.

Spokespersons for Tierney’s office did not respond to emails and calls seeking additional information over the weekend.

Tierney told Newsday that among the things the office will discuss are new, more detailed renderings of a male of Asian descent whose remains were found off Ocean Parkway in 2011.

Investigators have said they believe the unidentified man died five to 10 years earlier.

They say he was likely in his late teens or early 20s, was about 5 feet 6 inches (170 centimers) tall and had close-cropped hair. The victim was dressed in women’s clothing and may have been a sex worker, officials said at the time.
