On April 6, 1995 workers at a Brooklyn recycling plant stopped a conveyor belt and found a dismembered body later identified as 18-year-old Lisa Ann Warner of Jamaica, Queens. Her head and torso were inside a black plastic bag; the face was badly battered, both legs were missing, one arm was cut away at the shoulder and the other severed above the wrist, where a crude tattoo resembling two small crosses was noted.

Investigators concluded the remains had first been dumped on property in Nassau County and then entered the sanitation stream until reaching the recycling plant. Prosecutors later grouped Warner’s killing with other women murdered in a similar fashion—beaten repeatedly about the head with a heavy blunt object (in Warner’s case a hammer), dismembered, and discarded to hinder identification. Evidence presented at trial tied blood and trace materials to multiple victims, and the investigation expanded to examine who assisted or moved remains after the killings.

Does anyone have information about Warner’s life in Queens or recall seeing anything unusual around Nassau County dumpsters in the spring of 1995?
