I have a theory about Chris Loeb coming forward about Burke.
-The FBI may have been on to Burke (maybe someone on the inside that disliked him went to the feds) or the feds knew about the on going corruption in Suffolk County and have been watching all along, even more so when Burke shut them out of the Gilgo/Oak Beach murder investigation.
-Then the FBI gets wind of the Chris Loeb beating.
-The FBI may have approached Loeb to report it so they could get Burke behind bars.
Think about it why would Loeb come forward with the incident of being threaten to be killed by a hot shot and having his mother raped if he was not being protected by someone like the FEDS? Because with out the FEDS behind him no guarantee Burke would be found guilty and do jail time. Let's face it Loeb was on drugs and a weakling due to the drugs and all of a sudden he gets gigantic balls to go public after Burke. a guy in power? that could have him killed and cover it up. Burke already told him he would kill him.
I think the FEDS got wind of the beating approached Loeb told him they would protect him etc. They wanted Burke behind bars to start pressing him about the other corruption going on, the prostitutes etc. in hopes of cleaning out the dirt bags in Suffolk County and in hopes he starts naming names.
Now that Burke is behind bars the only way they could get him to talk is if they have more goods on him and he is looking at even more jail time,a scum bag like Burke will turn in his own mother when it comes to him facing more jail time. They may be pressing him on Spota, Hackett the Carney Construction Crew, Utopia all to lead the Feds to the serial killer.

"Sini's final words about women suspecting their husbands might be an oblique reference to a woman in her 40s who told me about an 80-page report she says she provided to the FBI, implicating her husband in a grand conspiracy of serial murder that also allegedly implicated James Burke. She claims to have tied them together through a website called Utopia Guide, where men rate and discuss sex workers together at length. The woman believes the men threw sex parties together under the name Carney Construction Crew, and that some of the women who were hired were later disposed of in the bramble along Ocean Parkway. This unsubstantiated theory speaks to the wormhole of ideas bandied about every day both online and in local bars throughout Long Island."
