A 1992 black Lexus sedan parked near the site where the body was found matched the description of a vehicle driven by Forgione, an Eastchester resident who hasn’t been seen since late last week.
Forgione, 60, a landscaper, husband and father of two sons, was last seen at 2 a.m. Thursday leaving the Gavi restaurant in Armonk after a dinner with friends, family said.
Stony Point police Lt. Keith Williams said the body has not yet been identified. It appeared that the body had been in the water a day or two, he said
Investigators do not believe the body is that of Eugene Palmer, a 73-year-old man who disappeared into the woods of Harriman State Park more than a month ago after allegedly shooting to death his daughter-in-law.
The body was being taken to the offices of the Rockland medical examiner.
Among the responding agencies were: Stony Point police, the Rockland Sheriff’s Department, New York state park police, the Westchester County helicopter and marine units.
