Montauk Mary, along with five other cold case victims, identified by Suffolk County District Attorney

The cold case homicide victim known for a half century only as “Montauk Mary” was publicly identified on Thursday, Nov. 12 as Sofia Margherita Marrone — one of six previously unidentified cold case individuals that Suffolk County authorities announced they have put names to. The six victims' identifications are the result of the work of the Suffolk County District Attorney's Cold Case Task Force, which was formed in April 2024 piggybacking off of the work that had been done to identify convicted Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, as well as several of his victims. "The six individuals in these cases remained nameless for decades, with the oldest case dating back 50 years to 1976," Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said at a news conference revealing the victims’ names.

Tampa hospital working with controversial construction firm on $60M apartment complex

Tampa General Hospital broke ground Monday on a new 170-unit Brandon apartment complex designed to help the $4 billion healthcare system recruit and retain employees. The company chosen to build the new community is Camden, New Jersey-based The Michaels Organization, which is being sued in federal court by families who lived on MacDill Air Force Base and allege, among other things, illnesses linked to mold exposure. The company has also drawn the ire of two local Congressional leaders who are demanding changes and tighter restrictions. The development, called The Linden, will rent apartments exclusively to Tampa General and USF Health workers earning between 80% and 120% of the area median income, TGH says. For a one-person household in Hillsborough County, that’s a salary between $64,250 annually and $96,360 annually under 2026 state housing guidelines. The hospital’s announcement does not list rents for the one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
