Story of the Day:
During a 9-year-stretch between 1986 and 1995, 65 bodies (65!) were found in the Bronx’s Pelham Bay Park, the city’s largest park at 2,700 acres. “It’s vast, vast territory,” Lloyd Ultan, the Bronx borough historian, told the Times in an article about the New York area’s many body-hiding hot spots. “A lot of it is wild. It would take a long time for anybody to find anything there that shouldn’t be there.” The article, which stems from the 10 bodies recently found in the Long Island shore brush, says that Pelham Bay Park used to a be a dumping ground for bodies and gives a couple of examples of the grizzly discoveries made at the east Bronx park. But with all that vast, wild land, how do they know it’s not still being used in such a manner?
