The body parts of a homicide victim, Loretta Gates, were found in a bag floating in a lake at an upstate New York park on Sunday, after Gates disappeared on Aug. 25, 2011 from her mother's home. The missing mother's headless torso was found a few days earlier by a tourist aboard the Maid of the Mist.

Loretta Gates is shown here in an undated personal photo.
