Suspect in Babylon body parts case arrested again: officials
LINDENHURST, N.Y. (PIX11) — A woman accused of dismembering two people on Long Island was held without bail Monday after she was arrested again for allegedly shoplifting in Lindenhurst, officials said.
Prosecutors said 40-year-old Amanda Wallace stole from a CVS store in Lindenhurst on Friday night.
When a police officer asked Wallace if she did it, she responded: “I did. Eyelashes and nail polish. I forgot my money and really didn’t feel like walking back over,” according to court documents.

At her arraignment Monday, Judge James McDonaugh told Wallace, “At the bare minimum, you should be able to go nine days without being rearrested.”
He set bail at $10,000 on the new petit larceny charge. He remanded her for the prior felony charges of hindering prosecution, concealing a human corpse, and tampering with physical evidence by concealing or destroying it.
Wallace and her three co-defendants had been free on supervised release with a GPS ankle monitor. The other three remain out without bail.
The dismembered remains of 59-year-old Donna R. Conneely and a 53-year-old man were found on Feb. 29 and March 5, scattered across a park in Babylon, a wooded area in West Babylon and Bethpage State Park, police said.
