NYPD detectives have finally identified the remains of a woman found mysteriously entombed in cement in what was once a famous Hell's Kitchen hotspot 20 years ago, which was found with the help of a 9/11 victim.
The horrifying discovery was discovered on February 10, 2003, at 301 W. 46th St. in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan, the site of the legendary rock nightclub Steve Paul's 'The Scene,' which previously hosted some of the biggest names in music.
NYPD detective Ryan Glas told NBC New York that they were knocking through the concrete floor, and a skull rolled out.
DNA records made available to the public, including those of a victim of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, linked the 2003 remains of Patricia Kathleen McGlone, a Brooklyn girl who would have been about 16 in 1969.
She had been strangled and tied with an electrical cable.
According to the authorities, the victim was wearing a 1960s-style Bulova watch and a ring bearing her name. She also had a plastic toy soldier and a 1969 dime on her, which led investigators to think she may have given birth.
Glas said that with any investigation, especially a homicide investigation, the first thing you need to have is the name of the victim because it gives a starting point.
Kathleen McGlone was the daughter of Bernard McGlone and Patricia Gilligan, who obtained a marriage license in Alexandria County, Virginia, on June 23, 1952. McGlone, 45, lived on Manhattan's Upper East Side, while Gilligan, 21, lived in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, at the time of their planned union.
The Brooklyn Catholic Church records confirmed that the victim was born on April 20, 1953, and was later baptized.
Furthermore, the police said that both of the victim's parents, who have since died, are not considered suspects.
Glas claimed this is personal because everyone has a daughter and is somebody's child. He noted that they have to get justice for the people that are killed.
