Four of the eight victims identified so far were women who advertised their services on Craigslist.
This is from that CNN article. So the other 4 have been identified as well? Or is this sloppy reporting?
Four of the eight victims identified so far were women who advertised their services on Craigslist.
on the cnn special it was noted last thing by the female reporter that the cops did NOT take the barthelemy family serious either and by the time the family was actually able to file a missing person's report they had missed the sk's calls to melissa's sister.
these police are not on their toes, maybe if was one of their daughters you know they'd spring into action.
they were able to trace melissa's phone to those locations, yet they have no tapes of the calls. amanda is the witness to his voice and that's it. the cops should have got their butts into gear quicker. these families have tried and tried again to get the cops on the case, if that officer wasn't walking blue and found remains, they still wouldn't be on the case of melissa or shannan.
very sad on le's behalf. the response time for shannan's 911 call was pathetic. 23 mins and also 2 neighbors local obviously had called.
there is no excuse for the lack of professional le behavior that could have saved shannan an solved this back in may.
I agree that he is upset that his dump was discovered. And the irony that the search for a prostitute (SG) led to the discovery really makes him mad. I do believe that SG is not a victim of "this" SK. Maybe another, but not this guy.
I have read conflicting reports about the AC/LI connection, but have read that Burlap was also used in AC, so there is a good chance it is connected.
He is surely a sesonal type. Maybe job, vacation, or just simply that his vics will decompose faster in the warmer months.
I have read a number of articles about the AC murders saying there were no burlap bags. I read they were clothed with shoes and socks missing, laying face down in a ditch with their heads turned to the East. If you have a link to articles mentioning burlap bags, could you please provide.

I hope everyone is tuned into CNN right now. I'm about 15 minutes behind but there are already some things I hadn't heard before coming out. Amber's sister said that Amber was in touch with a client throughout the day on the last day she was seen and he PICKED HER UP at her house. I wonder if anyone saw the car... so crazy.
ETA: Her sister also says she didn't bring her phone with her when she left (thought she may have known the client)
All due respect, comparing a Long Island ocean beach to a Long Island bay beach is like comparing a high velocity roller coaster to the Teacup ride. Yes, they can both be found in the same amusement park but you would never would use a roller coaster causality to rationalize how someone could easily die on the Teacup ride so why point out drownings in ocean beaches in the area? We have too many swimming pool drownings every season here too but they also have nothing to do with this case.

Megan Waterman - Lexy - 6/6/2010
Amber Lynn Costello - Carolina - 9/2/2010
I added Shannon Gilbert, and put her before Megan Waterman and Amber Lynn Costello because she was last seen before they went missing. 2010 was obviously a busy year for this SK, and it is getting to be about that time of year again.
Chloe is the newest name for a girl who was recently Chanel who used to be something else before that. I think she used to tour with Jazmine and a few others. I've never seen them myself but I think a few have been reviewed on this board before.
That is what i have been saying all along.
The victims knew and trusted and SK,
There no way a working girl like ALC would leave without her phone and hop into some stranger's car.
I am sure the SK picked up MB near the Hauppauge Holiday Inn Express and the other victims as well.
This is totally inconsistent with what JB was doing.
I doubt JB is the perp, however you appear to be extremely sure he's isn't. In fact, you appear to be so sure about a number of things that have yet to be confirmed, you've resorted to insulting other posters. Am not saying you're wrong, just wondering what gives?That is what i have been saying all along.

I remember early reports saying Megan left her cell in the hotel, too. I'll try to find them tomorrow. But I thought the same thing as you based on that and hearing that Amber did it too makes me think even more than they knew this guy, they trusted him. He may have even requested that they leave their phones behind for some fabricated reason (like he wanted all their attention, no distractions).
I also had the same thought about Megan being picked up near the Holiday Inn. Reports said she went to a convenience store, I wonder if they had cameras running at that store?
"In the area" but not at Oak Beach. Robert Moses is not on the same body of land as Oak Beach.
HOLY COW! I was just doing a Google search for the name "Chloe", "Craigslist" and various towns around the area that have many hotels. When I did the search with "Commack" it returned a result from that Hobbyist website UT****G****.com and when you click that link I saw this post by a member named DRACONUS back in November 2008;
Is it possible that MB and MB-B actually did work together?
Here is a link to the Google search results;

Got to the parking lot and no kidding aside..........5 undercover cars pulled in as well as 1 car had guys get out with FBI Jackets
Dont know if they had to do with girl I was going to see but all I know is I split ASAP.
She is posting again today so who knows but just a warning to all!!

Seems like we're on the same page, Secret, though I just can't bring myself to dismiss JB as possibly being involved somehow. Too many coincidences.
please see this linkYes drownings happen all of the time and yes, Great South Bay and the Fire Island Inlet have some really nasty currents in some places. Heck, less than half a mile south of Oak Beach is one of the strongest currents in that area.
BUT.... with that being said, the likelihood of someone "falling" into the water at Oak Beach in the vicinity of where SG was last seen, drowning, and then having their body NEVER recovered is extremely rare. As a matter of fact, I challenge anyone to prove that this has ever been the case throughout the entire history of Oak Beach. The Robert Moses Causeway and Ocean Parkway were built in the 1950's. So from the mid 1950's until 2011, how many of those millions of people who visited Oak Beach have ever
- Fallen in the water.
- Drowned.
- Body swept away from Oak Beach.
- Body NEVER recovered anywhere, ever?
Please don't reply for "The Rockaways", or for Boaters, or for swimmers in the ocean at any of the State Parks. If we are going to examine this rationally and scientifically, then please exam the facts based upon where SG was last seen running for her life. As someone who grew up on the bay and has launched boats, jet ski's and kayaks with friends & family at the Oak Beach Boat Ramp hundreds of times, fished this beach from the bridge to the inlet and back to the bridge walking in the water with waders hundreds of times and cruised/fished this body of water by boat thousands of times in my lifetime, I'm telling you that there is no way SG drowned and was swept away that night never to be found.
Nope. IMPOSSIBLE. If she's not on land somewhere (hopefully still alive) then she was put into the water elsewhere, not via the shoreline at Oak Beach near the homes of Oak Beach Association. If the weather around here ever clears up I'll shoot a video and upload it to prove my point. In the meantime, you are going to have to trust the authorities are aware of this too and that is why they NEVER searched the South Great South Bay side of the beach for her body. They too know that such a theory simply does not make any sense. To understand this you have to know a great deal about this specific beach and the behavior of the tides and currents here. I will leave you with one spec of thought about this so you can fully appreciate what I'm saying;
You never once hear anyone with a home on Oak Beach complain about BEACH EROSION. That's because the water at the very edge of the shoreline here is CALM and TRANQUIL. The currents are further out, not along the beach. No CURRENT= No EROSION.
Think about it.
