Couple accused of hiding body parts across LI facing new charges: officials
RIVERHEAD, Long Island (PIX11) – A couple accused of hiding body parts across different parks in Suffolk County are now facing more charges in connection to the case, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney.
Two of the four suspects, Jeffrey Mackey and Alexis Nieves, will be arraigned Monday on other charges in the deaths of Malcolm Brown and Donna Conneely. Steven Brown and Amanda Wallace were also arrested in connection to the case back in March.
Body parts of Malcolm Brown and Conneely were discovered in three locations, according to prosecutors. Human remains were originally discovered in Southards Pond Park in Babylon on Feb. 29, before more body parts were discovered in a wooded area in West Babylon and Bethpage State Park on March 5.

Steven Brown and Malcolm Brown are cousins.
All four suspects are facing charges of concealment of a human corpse by “hacking,” hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence. Less than an hour after being charged, they were all released without bail.
Their release has sparked outrage among officials who blamed New York’s bail reform laws. Wallace was arrested again after her release for alleged shoplifting from a CVS store, prosecutors said.
