Accident – Death – Obituary News : : 1. Teen body identification
2. Cement encased body discovery
The body of a teen found encased in cement 20 years ago has finally been identified as Patricia Kathleen McGlone, thanks to DNA from a victim of 9/11. The remains, previously known as ‘Midtown Jane Doe’, were discovered in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen area in 2003. McGlone, a teenager from Brooklyn, was last seen in the late 1960s. Investigators believe she was bound, wrapped in carpet, and entombed in cement. The identification was aided by DNA left behind after the 9/11 attacks. Detective Ryan Glas of NYPD’s Cold Case Squad led the investigation, linking McGlone’s husband to the building where her body was found.

This shocking discovery came about when construction work led to her skull rolling onto the ground.
Back in 2003, authorities commented: “At this point, we believe she was a young, middle-class woman who probably hopped on a bus to New York full of dreams, but who ended up on the streets.”
In a surprising turn of events, the identification of the remains was aided by DNA left behind after the tragic events of 9/11.

Yesterday (28 April), the deceased teenager who met a tragic end with her hands and feet bound by an extension cord, was identified as Patricia Kathleen McGlone, a teenager from Sunset Park in Brooklyn. She was last seen in the late 1960s.
Investigators believe McGlone was between 17 and 19 years old when she was murdered, bound, wrapped in carpet, and entombed in cement within the building’s walls.
The deceased teenager’s name matches a signet ring engraved with the initials ‘PMcG’, which was found alongside her body in 2003.
Additionally, the police found a wristwatch and a plastic toy soldier in the vicinity.
NYPD Detective Ryan Glas was able to successfully identify McGlone after years of pursuing leads combined with forensics and the DNA of a woman killed on 9/11 — who, coincidentally, was also named Patricia.

The DNA was provided to the police by family members hoping to locate the remains of the female 9/11 victim, and it turned out she was somehow linked to ‘Midtown Jane Doe’.
Law enforcement also revealed that another DNA match surfaced, believed to be a parent of ‘Midtown Jane Doe’, which further aided in the identification.
It has since been disclosed that McGlone attended a Catholic school before briefly enrolling in a public high school for just eight days. She then married a man in his 30s around 1968 and subsequently vanished.
