AMBOY — Authorities say they're unlikely to ever find the remains of two women killed by the same man more than 18 years ago and hidden in separate rural locations in central New York.
Philip Whaley was convicted in 1996 of killing Josephine Chatraw in 1984 and Peggy Reiley eight years later. Their bodies were never found.
The 61-year-old former Syracuse resident recently brought investigators to the wooded area in the Oswego County town of Amboy where he said he buried Chatraw. Police found nothing after two days of searching.
Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick says Whaley told police he placed Reiley's body in a garage next to his mother's house in the Pulaski (puh-LAS'-keye) area. The garage was demolished years ago. Fitzpatrick says her remains may have ended up in a landfill.
