A student walking to school in Babylon found a body part and promptly called his father and police, triggering law enforcement to send cadaver dogs to help investigate what is now a full blown homicide investigation.
The Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad is now trying to determine the identity of who the body parts belong to, and who is responsible for cutting it up and dumping it on the west side of Seagal Boulevard between Park Avenue and Mason Avenue.
Law enforcement officers reported to the South Shore Press that a student found a left arm near that section of Seagal Boulevard shortly after eight in the morning on Thursday, February 29th, 2024. The student called their father, who showed up at the location, saw the arm as well, then immediately dialed 9-1-1.
More body parts were found once the cadaver dogs showed up at the scene. The Canine Unit recovered a leg buried in leaves on the western side of the park near Graham Place.
The same dog continued searching the east side of the park and found a right arm 20 feet away from the original discovery of the left arm.
While police are still awaiting the results of testing to try and determine who the deceased person is, law enforcement does believe it belongs to a man, not a woman.
