Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad detectives are investigating after human remains were
discovered in a submerged vehicle in Mt. Sinai on June 30.

Representatives from two volunteer organizations, Explorers with a Mission, and Adventures with
Purpose, were utilizing side-scan sonar devices near the Cedar Beach boat ramp and located a PT
Cruiser submerged in the water at approximately 5 p.m. on June 30. Divers entered the water and
located what they believed to be a human bone in the vehicle, brought it to the surface and called 911 at
7:43 p.m.

Marine Bureau divers conducted an initial search of the vehicle before suspending the search at
approximately 9 p.m. due to water conditions. The search resumed July 1 and Marine Bureau divers
located additional human remains.

The vehicle was removed from the water utilizing a crane from Murphy’s Marine Services in Port
Jefferson. Personnel from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner will determine the
identity of the remains and a cause of death.

Speculation is that the remains are of Robert Long, a Miller Place resident who was 62 at the time, and was last seen on December 21, 2010, after leaving the Miller Place Wine & Liquor Store around noon.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Homicide Squad detectives at 631-852-6392.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (State Parks) is advising motorists
to be prepared for heavy traffic on Friday, July 4,  between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. near
Governor Alfred E. Smith/Sunken Meadow State Park in Suffolk County.

Motor vehicle traffic on the following state parkways and state and local roadways in close proximity to the site may be affected, including:

• Northern State Parkway
• Sagtikos Parkway
• Southern State Parkway
• Sunken Meadow Parkway

Attendance at Sunken Meadow State Park for past Fourth of July holidays have caused morning and afternoon gridlock and serious traffic disruptions on the aforementioned roadways and tributaries. If possible, avoid Sunken Meadow and Sagtikos Parkways. Possible closings may occur at these locations due to heavy traffic.

Drivers wishing to avoid delays and possible road closures should avoid the Sunken Meadow
Parkway interchanges from mid-morning through late afternoon. Sunken Meadow State Park often fills to capacity. Park visitors may want to consider Heckscher State Park in East Islip as an alternative.
