Overview

• Matthew Zoll is suspected of fatally stabbing his father, 61-year-old Joseph Zoll, in their Rocky Point home in November 2024 before fleeing the scene.
• A body discovered on May 25 in an inground pool at the East Shoreham residence of Detective Thomas Corso is believed to match the description of the 23-year-old fugitive.
• Corso and his teenage son made the discovery while lifting a partially undone Loop-Loc cover as they opened the pool for the summer.

• Officials have not ruled out drowning, hypothermia or suffocation as possible causes of death pending the autopsy.
