Arrests Made in Babylon Human Remains
Tierney, Romaine Decry Bail Laws By Matt Meduri In a new case that has shaken Long Island, human remains were found across Babylon Township and Bethpage State Park. The victims, who have not been identified, are presumed to be a 53-year-old man and a 59-yearold woman. The first remains were found last Thursday, February 29, by high school students walking to school. They discovered the man’s arm on the side of Siegel Boulevard near Southards Pond Park in North Babylon. Both arms were found in the east side of the park, while the woman’s head, left leg, right leg, and right arm were found on the west side of the park just hours later. The woman’s remains were near Babylon Elementary School. More remains were found Tuesday in the woods near Lakeway Drive in West Babylon, three miles from Southards Pond Park. More remains were then discovered in Bethpage State Park. Police then identified suspects living in a shared home in Amityville, where “sharp instruments, multiple body parts, and other related items”
were found. Police say that the suspects “dispose[d] of them to conceal the crime of murder in the second degree.” Four people have been charged with concealing a human corpse and tampering with evidence. Steven Brown, 44, Amanda Wallace, 40, Jeffrey Mackey, 38, and Alexis Nieves, 33, were charged with first-degree hindering prosecution, tampering with physical evidence by concealing or destroying, and concealment of a human corpse. All have pleaded not guilty. Brown, Wallace, and Mackey all live in Amityville, while Nieves is said to be homeless. The relationship between the suspects have not been explained, nor have a connection to victims or a motive for possible murder been established. Suffolk homicide detectives allege that the suspects “did conceal, alter, and destroy human body parts” and that the “dismembered body parts were removed” from the home and “concealed at multiple known locations.” Continued on page 3
