December 10, 2007

(Long Island, N.Y.) A 46 Year old women from Massapequa Long Island was found floating face-down in a creek not far from her Lake Street home. A local resident who was walking their dog discovered the body which has now been identified as Yvonne Boykin, who worked for the Nassau County Courts. She was found on the river banks of the Narrasketuck River at about 11 am on Saturday. The woman’s family said she had been missing since Wednesday.

At this time it is unknown what the woman may have been doing walking along the river. Police have been working the case since the body was found on Saturday and are not releasing too much information other then the fact that it is still under investigation and that she was found wearing green sweatpants, a blue shirt and a white tennis shoe on her left foot.

Detective Sergeant Richard Laursen says it does not appear that she was in the water long. He said there are no signs of trauma to her body and they are neither confirming nor denying foul play.

The Narrasketuck River is considered to be the banks of the south eastern boundary of Massapequa. The river is a narrow body of water that ends a few hundred yards south of Merrick Road. The river is located in the east and runs parallel to Clocks Boulevard.
