April 6, 1996
Looking for the murder site, a detective canvassing hotels heard
about a man driving a blue Cadillac who cruised the area. Trying
to track the man down with this information, women were located
who led them, not to a hotel, but to a residence where a blue
Cadillac was seen. The registration was obtained, and the car
was registered to Shulman's brother. Trying to get information
about the sleeping bag in which Bunting was found, detectives
learned Sears was the only manufacturer. Sears was contacted to
see if the brother had purchased one with a credit card. Sears
said the brother had no card, but pointed out that Shulman had a
card. This was how police were initially pointed towards Shulman
as a possible culprit. Women later identified him as the man
cruising in the Cadillac, and cadaver dogs signaled the
possibility of dead remains having been present in the Cadillac.
Police searched Shulman's work place and found trace evidence
matching that found on the body. Shulman was arrested on 6 April
1996. After interrogation, Shulman confessed to the three
murders. (Shulman confessed to the earliest two murders at a
later date.) A search of his room revealed hundreds of
bloodstains scattered over almost every surface
Shulman was sentenced to death in 1999 for the only murder he
committed after New York State reinstated the death penalty in
1995. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for his other
murders because New York's death penalty law was not in effect
at the time he committed them. His sentence was reduced to life
in prison after the New York State Court of Appeals invalidated
the death penalty in 2004.[1]
He died 13 April 2006 in Albany, New York of undisclosed
causes.[3]
Shulman's brother Barry was indicted on charges of hindering
prosecution and unlawfully disposing of dead bodies.

Crime Scene: No ID for serial killer's '92 victim
Jane Lerner , jlerner@lohud.comPublished 11:56 a.m. ET June 2,
2015
A convicted serial killer confessed to killing a woman and
dumping her body in the trash behind a Yonkers pizza restaurant,
but even now, 23 years later, police do not know her identity
HTML https://i.imgur.com/HMnzbN4.jpg
Most unsolved murders involve a victim and an unknown killer,
but this Yonkers cold case involves an unknown victim and a
confessed killer.
The dismembered parts of a woman who has never been identified
were found in a trash bin behind a pizzeria on Midland Ave. in
1992.
It would take years before investigators linked the body to
Robert Shulman, a Long Island postal worker who was arrested in
1996 and convicted of being a serial killer.
Shulman admitted picking up prostitutes in New York City, taking
them to his Long Island apartment for sex and drugs, then
beating them to death and cutting up their bodies.
He was convicted of killing three prostitutes in Suffolk County
in 1994 and 1995.
Shulman also admitted to killing two women and dumping them in
Yonkers in 1991 and 1992 at the beginning of his killing spree.
The first Westchester victim was identified as Lori Vasquez, 24,
of Brooklyn, whose remains were found Aug. 31, 1991, stuffed
into a plastic trash can near a house at 6 Belknap Ave.
The second woman was found June 27, 1992, in a plastic can
placed in a trash bin behind the I Luv New York Pizza parlor at
1288 Midland Ave.
Even now, nearly 23 years later, investigators have no idea who
she is.
"There could be a family out there looking for her, waiting for
her to come home," said Yonkers police Detective John Geiss. "We
would love to identify her."
The investigation
The woman's arms and part of one leg were severed and never
located — making it impossible for investigators to check her
fingerprints.
Police think the woman was white or possibly Hispanic, in her
late 20s or early 30s. She had dark hair.
She had a tattoo of a green butterfly on her right rear
shoulder.
Shulman was found guilty of killing three women in Suffolk and
was sentenced to death in 1999.
A year later, he went on trial in Westchester in the two Yonkers
cases, including the unidentified woman. Then-Westchester
District Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office pursued the
local cases, which were too old to qualify for capital
punishment, in part because Shulman was appealing his Long
Island convictions.
On the second day of his trial in Westchester, Shulman admitted
to killing the two women whose bodies were dumped in Yonkers.
He made the admission to spare his younger brother, Barry
Shulman, additional punishment for helping dump Vasquez's body.
Barry Shulman was given a two-year sentence for pleading guilty
in Suffolk to helping his brother dump the bodies of two
victims. When his brother pleaded guilty in Westchester, Barry
Shulman pleaded guilty to the disposal of Vasquez's body in
Yonkers. He was given a two-year prison term to run at the same
time as the Long Island sentence.
Westchester prosecutors said a pre-sentence report on Robert
Shulman showed he had no remorse for his crimes.
A Westchester State Supreme Court justice told Shulman his
prison sentence of 25 years to life "means that you won't be
able to walk on the streets again.
"You have caused irreparable damage to numerous families and
numerous individuals," the judge said. "You have served as
judge, jury and executioner. "
Shulman's death penalty sentence for the Long Island homicides
was later changed to life in prison without parole when New
York's death penalty was overturned in 2004.
He died in prison of natural causes in April 2006 — 10 years
after his arrest and nearly 14 years after the body of a woman
still known as Jane Doe was found in the trash behind a Yonkers
restaurant.

Whom to call
Yonkers police ask anyone who thinks they might know the
identity of serial killer Robert Shulman's victim who was found
in Yonkers to contact them at 914-377-7900.
