Actually van courtlandt and Pelham bay park are known killing fields, they’re big wooded areas where someone can hide a body easy, also those parks have coyotes and will animals to help rid the body.

I think all wooded and overgrown areas need to be inspected for remains every year or every two years, yes all especially the highway and next to buildings with overgrown lots. It’s just the world we live in. 🤷🏾‍♀️
