Agreed. Imo, if he is involved, I'd say it has to do with protecting someone as opposed to being the perp. Then again, I've felt that way ever since his name came up. So that could be a case of confirmation bias.
I haven't fully ruled out jb in my mind, either. I live about 25 minutes East of where the bodies were found and towards the middle of the island. Because this is an island where one must travel over two large bridges or a combo of bridges and tunnels, it seems less likely to me that the killer lives off the island, murders a minimum of four times, then dumps the bodies all within the same area on an isolated beach. I agree strongly with the profile recently created. I think he either lives here year round, is a snowbird (lives here for the summer or all but the winter) or lives here year round, but his gf or wife leaves during the summer.
I can't rule him out for the murders in Atlantic City just because I think he lives or at minimum spends his summers here (fairly common, and those who do seem to be middle class or above concerning financial status). Maybe he moved recently to Long Island. Maybe he has lived here for a long time but has only recently begun to kill young women. Maybe he has been killing for longer but has recently changed his dumping site. Maybe he has another dump site that le hasn't found yet.
Speaking of dump sites, if SG isn't among the most recently found remains I wonder where she is. I imagine she is probably no longer living. I think chances are that whomever killed the other four young women may have killed her. Maybe she is at a different dump site. Because at least initially SG got away, and there were a number of witnesses, the killer might have lost confidence and become less complacent--and maybe he chose a more reclusive dump site that he believed would be less likely to lead back to him.
I am not convinced that all ten bodies are from the same serial killer. I think the four women id'd who were murdered and SG's disappearance are most likely related. Once or if the remaining remains are id'd and similarities are found I might lean towards those cases individually as being related, too.
I'm just speculating as it were. I hope the killer or killers are stopped and that the families of the missing women see justice.
