A Bayside woman missing since Saturday has been linked to an abandoned car found at a notorious beach on Long Island.
Police said a neighbor last saw Natasha Jugo, 31, leaving her house at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The next day her car and personal items were found in Gilgo Beach the following day – more than 30 miles away from her home.
Before Jugo disappeared, ten sets of remains had been found at the beach since 2010, but authorities said there was no known connection between the Bayside woman and those bodies at this time.
Jugo was last seen wearing pink pajama bottoms, a gray hooded sweatshirt, a black robe, a black coat and black boots. She is described as being 5-foot-10, 120 pounds with brown eyes and blonde hair.
A woman who answered the door at the missing woman’s house identified herself as Jugo’s sister and said she did not want to comment at this time.
