The Bridgeport Dismemberment: A Body Without a Face

When the bags split open, Bridgeport saw what real horror looked like

In the summer of 1994, Bridgeport was gripped by horror as garbage bags filled with human remains surfaced across the city. The victim — 17-year-old Benjamin Rosario — had vanished days earlier. His killer dismembered him with precision, then disappeared without a trace.

Decades later, detectives still search for answers. The case remains open — and the city still whispers about the summer when the streets turned silent.
