Womans remains found dumped by Queens highway jewelry tattoo may help ID

NYPD detectives are hoping that a tattoo of a rose and two pieces of jewelry will help them identify a young woman whose decomposing remains were found stuffed in a garbage bag on the side of a Queens highway, police said Wednesday.

A city Department of Transportation worker made the grisly discovery on the side of the Jackie Robinson Parkway near Vermont Place on Aug. 6, cops said.The victim, whose remains were badly decomposed, had no ID on her and is believed to be Black or Hispanic and between 20 to 30 years old and 4-feet-5 to 5-feet-2.
