Breaking: Gilgo Beach murders investigators say 'Fire Island Jane Doe' has been identified as Karen Vergata, who was 34 when she disappeared in 1996.
Through cutting edge DNA, another female victim has been identified, formerly known as"Fire Island Jane Doe."
"Today we are here to announce that, as part of the Gilgo Task Force reexamination of all the evidence in the case, we are able to identify our fire island Jane Doe as Karen Vergata, who was 34 years old at the time of her disappearance," Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney said. He was joined by members of the Gilgo Beach Homicide Task Force, which broke the 13-year-old unsolved mystery with the arrest of Heuermann.
Part of Vergata's remains - severed legs and feet - were found in 1996 in Davis Park, Fire Island. Sadly, her skull was found nearly 15 years later near Tobay Beach. No charges have been filed in connection with this case. Authorities took no questions from the media, calling it a confidential investigation.
