She could potentially be in 12th place.
Raymond Zuppa, an Onotime prosecutor who believes he was murdered by a Long Island serial killer, argued that a more thorough investigation into the suicide of Queens woman Natasha Jugo in 2013 was needed.
“Given the geographic location and current and historical events, I think the investigation into this issue should be resumed and well investigated,” Zuppa said in a petition filed Wednesday with the Manhattan Supreme Court, nominated Commissioner NYPD and Jessica Tish as the accused. “The realm of occurrence is infamous.”
Zuppa said Friday that officers would like to see the incident again.
“This is Gilgo,” Zuppa said. Jugo stopped saying he was a victim of a serial killer.
“I won't rule that out, that makes more sense,” the “semi-retired” prosecutor added. “But they don't want this to be murder. It was a suicide without a body on May 2, 2013.”
Jugo, 31, diagnosed with schizophrenia, was last seen leaving Bayside, Queens and Queens on the afternoon of March 16, 2013. She was sent to a nearby pharmacy to pick up a prescription for her sick father.
The next day, a woman walking along Torbay Beach in Massapequa found Jugo's wallet and clothes and called it 911.
The NYPD and police in Suffolk and Nassau counties responded and placed a 2009 Prius parked along the shoulders of the Ocean Parkway. They also said footprints that continued from the car to the surf were found at the scene.
Gilgo Beach is located in Suffolk County, but not far from the county line.
Her body was eventually discovered on June 24, 2013. This was washed more than three miles away on land at Gilgo Beach.
Zuppa, based in Long Island, doesn't believe Jugo committed suicide by driving 30 minutes from his home, stepping into the Atlantic.
Heuermann, 61, was charged with the murder of seven of the 11 investigators found along the Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in Suffolk County between December 2010 and April 2011. Investigators say DNA evidence directly links architects to serial killings.
“Stepping into Gilgo's surfing and then inhaling the sea water would have been an unbearably painful way for Jugo to commit suicide,” reads the petition claiming that he couldn't find footprints because the currents changed.
“MS. Jugo would have been in the water at low tide,” Zuppa reasoned in his petition. “The footprint would do that
Was washed away. And it is said that Jugo was dumped on the edge of the water.
The water that entered would have come out of the Atlantic Ocean. ”
The Zuppa petition stated that Jugo's body “provided no signs of trauma,” making it easy for Gilgo police officers to identify. They notified her family within hours.
“The interactions between flows, waves and seabeds create a large amount of visible trauma to the human body when the body is on the seabed for a long period of time,” he wrote. “And also, sea creatures such as fish and crabs eat the human body and turn it into bones.”
Zuppa has been trying to get case files from three different agents since 2023. What he received showed that Jugo was found wearing between the Nassau County investigator's accounts – she covered her jeans, a bra and shirt over her head, written by Suffolk County detectives, and found her in her bra alone.
He also claimed that partially edited photographs from the crime scene showed the presence of ropes “about either the deceased's feet, hips or neck.”
Of the seven Gilgo victims charged with human murder, four have been found bound by belts or tape.
“She landed across the street from where Gilgo 4 was found,” Zuppa added. “Two years later, is this Rex? Did he grab her and hold her for a long time?”
Heuermann entered into a plea of innocence to the murders of seven people he allegedly committed.
