I think the timing of the release of JD6's identity is a direct result of the LISK case recently being in the news (with regards to the court order to hand over the Shannan Gilbert 911 tapes). If it weren't for that recent news, the news about JD6's identity would not have occurred.

Hawk- I haven't heard about Spota claiming you cannot rely on the Internet. Could you elaborate?

Gilgo Beach is along a desolate stretch of highway (Ocean Parkway) on the southern-most part of Long Island. During the summer months, there is always bumper-to-bumper traffic along this highway (Ocean Pkwy takes you right down to some of the best beaches on LI). However, during the winter...

Buckeye, does this mean that you no longer suspect Burke is LISK? I think a lot of people (including myself) on these forums at least thought at one point think that Burke himself is LISK. What made you change your mind about him being LISK?

I'm not sure if those calls (the ones LISK made to some of the victims' family members) were recorded. I don't remember ever hearing that they were. There are so many phone calls made each day, idk if all of them are recorded. Furthermore, I don't think the family members contacted the police...

Is there a thread on Websleuths about the possibility that there is a serial killer in Boston who finds males, ages 20-30, coming from bars/clubs/any events with alcohol?

Josh and Rachel address the West Mesa killer laster on in the series.

No, that guy was a pimp to one of the victims found on Gilgo Beach. Burke is the ex- chief of police of Suffolk County Police Department.

who is your former son in law? Initials please

I think the link to Zodiac is a little far-fetched. Zodiac operated in the late 1960's. Let's assume Zodiac was at least in his/her 20's at the time of the killings. This means that he/she would have been in their 60's in the late 1990s when the LISK murders started taking place. I think most...

I'm curious as to why you don't think the extent of Burke's involvement in the case was more than the cover up piece. Let's play along and assume that your theory is in fact correct and that he was not involved in the killings. If he were the chief of police of a department that just so happened...

I completely agree, although I'm sure it's much easier said than done. Regarding the Killing Season, I think a lot of the similarities between various locations were really stretches. To think that LISK is the same, or even has any sort of connection to Daytona Beach, Florida, [I thought] was...

If someone accurately guessed that a victim was from the tristate area state of Connecticut, which is only an hour drive away from Gilgo, that is not specific at all. What would have been strange is if someone accurately predicted the identify of the victims. Just guessing a state is not...

Exactly. If identities were not made public at that date, then the person who made that comment may know more than the average person. Maybe that person is in LE working on the case. However, if all the comment said was that one of the bodies was from CT, that really isn't much nor specific...

I am unsure if any of the GB4 were from CT. However, what I am positive about is that the bodies had been found before December 15, 2010 (granted, only a few days, but still). Another thing I am unsure about is whether the bodies had been identified at that point. It was only a few days (less...

Hawk any updates on the breaking news you had mentioned a few weeks ago?

The connection between Spota and Burke from Burke's youth is that Spota was the DA of Suffolk County who took on the John Pius murder case that Burke was involved in (and I say "involved" because exactly how he was involved in the case is still questionable. If you look at some of the posts...

Very interesting thread you mention. The police official described sure does sound like Suffolk's James Burke. Burke was a high ranking police official (what his exact title was during any given time, I could not tell you, however, he has been higher ranking in the last 10-15 years, at least)...

I just want to verify that I understand what you are saying. So you are not 100% sure if the groundbreaking news is accurate. In other words, it is just a rumor that you heard. Who did you hear this from? If it is in fact from a knowledgeable source, then I would hope you would believe it to be...

Who (aside from you) has this groundbreaking information that you keep mentioning? In other words, who are we (the public) waiting on to release said information? And can you give us an update as to when it will be released.
