Beach walkers at Smith Point made a shocking discovery over the Christmas holiday: a human jawbone. They turned it in to a county parks attendant, kicking off an investigation by the Suffolk Homicide Squad.
The police identified the remains as belonging to a male and have asked the public to contact them at 631-852-6392 if they can provide any information. They did not confirm if it was related to a human bone found at the ocean beach back in March 2023.
Long Islanders are sensitive to the discovery of body parts, having lived through the Gilgo murders and the Babylon dismemberment case.
