A woman has been identified more than three decades after her body was found in New York City, officials said on Monday.
On August 25, 1991, a set of remains bound at the ankles and covered with a board was found in a grassy area at the intersection of two Queens, New York parkways, according to a press release from District Attorney Melinda Katz's office. Four men, aged 18 through 20 at the time, were prosecuted and convicted for their roles in the killing.
An investigation found that four men approached the victim sometime between July and August 1991, according to the news release, and drove the victim to the intersection. During that drive, the victim was tied up and pushed out of the car. One man exited the car and struck the victim on the head with a large flashlight, causing the victim's death, the news release said. The men then left the scene, but returned two weeks later to attempt to conceal the victim by placing a large wooden board over the body.
