NY Gilgo Beach killings: Remains identified 20 years later
CNNCNN — For years in the Gilgo Beach, New York multiple victim investigation, she was “Jane Doe #6.” On Thursday, New York’s Suffolk County Police Department confirmed the remains of Valerie Mack, a 24-year-old Philadelphia mother who went missing two decades ago. Mack’s partial remains were first discovered near Long Island’s Gilgo Beach in 2000, with additional dismembered remains found in 2011 along Ocean Parkway, according to the Suffolk County police. Using samples from her remains, Suffolk County investigators were able to find Mack’s biological relatives through genetic genealogy, which ultimately led to her adoptive family and son, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said on a press conference call on Thursday. Two human remains under Suffolk County’s jurisdiction are still unidentified, Hart said on Thursday – a toddler and an adult male of Asian descent.
