Mystery of Identity of Nameless Woman Revealed but it now results in even more mystery….

For more than 30 years, New York City Police have tried to find the name of an unidentified white female with a scorpion tattoo found bludgeoned with a hammer, strangled and set on fire in the borough of Staten Island. The victim had been found handcuffed in a weeded area near a South Beach road on September 20th, 1991. A break would come in when Forensic genealogy was used to identify the deceased woman as then 30 year old Christine Belusko, from Clifton, New Jersey. The testing also identified as well as her long-lost daughter, Christa Nicole who was two years old at the time of her mother’s murder. Police have been unable to locate Christa Nicole to inform her of her mother’s murder and it is not known if she is filed as a missing person case.

The murderer also remains a mystery. The hammer used to kill Belusko was the type often used in autobody shops. It also contained the name Loyd L which was inscribed on the handle. At the time of her murder Belusko had only thirty cents on her but also had two gold chains on her person.

If you have any information as to the killer or the whereabouts of Christa Nicole contact NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Traveling Musician Linked to Three Sexual Assaults… There maybe more across the Country.

Thanks to PK for this submission….

Elliot Higgins Serial Rapist

In February of 2023, Law Enforcement (USA) announced that Elliott Higgins, who died in 2014 at age 73, had been linked by DNA evidence to two rapes in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, and a third attack in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Higgins was an accomplished French Horn player who ran musical competitions where some of the attacks took place. The attacks occurred from 1991 to 2004 but it is possible with so many backlogs of sexual assault cases that he may have committed more crimes in different parts of the country. He had strong ties to New Mexico. Sketches below show strong similarities to Higgins from when he committed his attacks.
