Cops: Leg May Be Linked To Tattooed Torso

Body Part Washes Up On Knicks, Rangers Owner's Property

By Sean Hennessey, CBS 2 News
COVE NECK, N.Y. (CBS) ― On a day the tide turned the waters of Oyster Bay Harbor gave up some grisly secrets. First, a fisherman found part of a leg among the rocks on Tuesday night.

Across the water in the exclusive neighborhood of Cove Neck another body part was sent ashore. A leg stuffed in a garbage bag found by a landscaper who was working the beachfront property belonging to James Dolan, the CEO of Cablevision Systems Corp. and the chairman of Madison Square Garden, owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.

"It was 6 inches below the knee," Lloyd Harbor Police Lt. Dennis Dooley said. "It was a right foot we believe and it had some flesh and bone attached to it."

The small, exclusive village where the leg appeared is also home to the former so-called summer White House of President Teddy Roosevelt.

Chopper 2 HD was above the scene when police scoured the grounds and water looking for more body parts. Now the question, who met such a violent death?

"We are doing an active investigation now to determine if there are any missing persons from the location where the bag was found," said Sgt. Richard Larsen of the Nassau County Homicide Squad.

Police may not have to look very far. Authorities think the legs may belong to the torso of a female that washed up in Mamaroneck Bay three weeks ago. The woman's torso was stuffed in a suitcase and had a tattoo on her chest.

"There are certain things that are the same, similarities that make us feel that there's a good possibility that the legs belong to our victim," said Det. Sgt. Robert Holland of the Mamaroneck Police Department.

A victim whose watery grave may finally have been discovered.
