Sketches Show Women Found Dead In Hudson River: NYPD

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The NYPD is asking the public to help identify two women who were found dead Wednesday on the shores of the Hudson River, police officials said.

Officers were called to West 72nd Street and Riverside Boulevard around 2:45 p.m. after two bodies were seen floating in the river, an NYPD spokesman said. Police pulled two women — both unresponsive — from the rocky shore of the Hudson and EMS pronounced them dead at the scene, an NYPD spokesman said.

The woman had not suffered "obvious signs of trauma," police said.

ABC New York reporter Josh Einiger reported that a source said the women were taped together, but an NYPD spokesman could not confirm that detail.

Both women are likely between 25 and 30 years old and stand between 5-foot-3 and 5-foot-6 with a medium skin complexion and shoulder-length curly hair. Police released sketches of the women (seen above) on Thursday.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
