High Schoolers Discover Human Skeletal Remains in Manhasset Park
Police said the remains may be those of an elderly woman reported missing in December, and the park stayed closed during the investigation.
- A high school track team discovered human skeletal remains Thursday in a wooded area near Plandome Pond Park in Manhasset, prompting the Nassau County Homicide Squad to close the park for investigation.
- Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said 'a lot of positive identifiers' link the remains to Shi Hua Xu, a 79-year-old woman who disappeared from Great Neck in December 2025.
- Plandome Heights Mayor Kenneth Riscica noted an Eagle Scout discovered the remains in brush near train tracks, in a remote area not along the park's main trails.
- Authorities do not believe the death was criminal, and North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer Desena said the discovery may provide 'closure to a family' after nearly a year missing.
- Longtime resident Diana Cotumaccio expressed shock at the discovery in the typically peaceful park, saying 'It's a lovely area, it's unfortunate this happened, but these things do happen.
