This is a bit off-topic
I hope that this investigation encourages both Nassau County & Suffolk County NY to invest everything they have to identify their Does, regardless of any possible connection to Gilgo Beach/LISK case.
NamUs shows 41 total unidentified remains for both Nassau & Suffolk Counties. This number seems to include Karen Vergata's case, even though she was id, so it's really 40.
A project like this is feasible for Long Island, b/c IMO these counties are prosperous. The North Shore of Nassau is where The Great Gatsby was set. Suffolk has The Hamptons. I'm sure locals could name other wealthy neighborhoods. If the money isn't in the budget, encourage wealthy or average citizens to donate to a cold case fund for advanced forensic testing, including forensic genealogy.
The Gilgo Beach task force has shown what new leadership & cooperation between agencies can do.
It would bring answers to so many families.
I tried posting the link to the combined county search on NamUs but the link doesn't preserve it. Sorry.
