Body of missing elderly woman found on Coney Island rooftop
The body of an elderly woman who went missing mid-August was found on Thursday, September 11 on the roof of a Coney Island apartment building.
The body, though badly-decomposed, was found atop 2930 West 30th Street and is believed to be that of 74-year-old Cucita Alvarado, known to friends and family as “Lucy,” who went missing after leaving her Coney Island home on August 12.
“I am very sad to hear this terrible news, especially knowing how many loved ones have been searching for Lucy and praying for her return over the past few weeks. I send my truly heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Alvarado’s family and will continue pray for them and assist them in any way possible,” said Coney Island Councilmember Mark Treyger in a statement.
