A woman wanted in connection with a 2024 murder in Jamesport remains at large, with police confirming that she has been actively using disguises and aliases to avoid capture. Authorities have now formally identified the suspect as Majorie Quarrie, also known by the alias Nicola Watson.

According to the Suffolk County Police Department, Quarrie is believed to have fatally stabbed 36-year-old Conrad Gowan at his residence on Herricks Lane in Jamesport. They revealed that Quarrie has been deliberately changing her appearance since the killing, making use of wigs and assumed identities in an effort to avoid arrest. 

The ongoing investigation has shown that Quarrie has taken calculated steps to stay hidden, with law enforcement describing her actions as deliberate and evasive.

The crime occurred late on the night of March 4, 2024, just before midnight. Gowan, a home health aide, was rushed to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead but was later pronounced dead.

A warrant has been issued for her arrest on a charge of second-degree murder. As the search enters its 17th month, Suffolk County Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward to anyone who can provide information that leads to her arrest.

Police continue to urge members of the public to come forward if they have any knowledge of Quarrie’s whereabouts. Officials believe the suspect may still be in the region or possibly moving between states using new identities to stay undetected.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers can be reached at 1 (800) 220-TIPS. All tips remain confidential, and if they contribute to Quarrie’s arrest, they may be eligible for a reward.

The case remains active, with authorities stressing the importance of public cooperation in bringing the suspect to justice.
