Another grisly discovery

It was just over three weeks ago that Mamaroneck Village police began the gruesome task of identifying a female torso that washed up on a village beach. Little else has been learned since about the woman, whom police said was likely Hispanic, between 35-50 years of age, weighing 180 to 200 pounds and approximately 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 6 in height. Now comes word of another grisly discovery.
Police in White Plains today reported that human skeletal remains were found shortly after noon in a wooded area in front of Bloomingdale’s department store. You can check out the preliminary details in reporter “Rich Liebson’s story”:http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070327/NEWS02/703270427 on LoHud.com. He’ll have more on it in tomorrow’s editions of The Journal News.
White Plains detectives were joined at the scene by a forensics team, which will hopefully help identify the remains. The Westchester County Medical Examiner’s Office is also at the scene. I’m sure police in Mamaroneck don’t wish their frustration thus far on their counterparts in White Plains. Hopefully, both sets of remains will have a name attached sometime soon.

Amazing how TV shows like CSI and Bones and even the old Quincy, which they are all based on, never had issues with finding out who the body was or how it died.
Here’s the real world …
Very true, Steve. It also seems like every crime gets solved on TV. Like you said, here’s the real world.
Case and point: On TV the first thing they discover by looking at the bones is the sex.
=====================================================
“At this point, we don’t even know if it was a man or a woman,” Deputy Public Safety Commissioner Daniel Jackson said of the skeleton, which was discovered shortly after noon. “We don’t know the cause of death, but the skeleton was intact and there are no obvious signs of injury.”
=====================================================
But then again who really has all those cool gadgets. That’s why Quincy will always be better. He was a no frills Coroner. ;-]
