A human head was discovered in a Queens bird sanctuary this week, believed to belong to a Guyanese woman whose torso was shockingly found in a trash bag six months, police sources said Saturday.
Homicide detectives found the severed head at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Thursday while tracking a suspect’s cellphone tower hits in the torso case, the sources said.
The dismembered torso was located on Sept. 23, 2025, near Idlewood Park — roughly 10 miles from the bird sanctuary — a marshland near JFK Airport, the sources said.
Two city Sanitation Department workers made that grisly discovery while picking up trash near 149th Avenue and Brookville Boulevard., according to the NYPD.
The employees had loaded the covered remains into the hopper of a vehicle before noticing a foul odor, sources said.
The torso was missing it’s head, arms, and legs — and was wrapped in tape and rope, said cops, who believe a saw and a knife were used.
The partially decomposed body had several visible tattoos including a flower and three names, cops have said.
The city Medical Examiner’s Office is investigating the remains to confirm the victim’s identity and cause of death, officials said.
