I copied the quoted segment below from another crimeboard. Credit goes to Michael Kay
"Colleen McNamee, she was also last seen in the area of Hauppauge leaving a drug rehab clinic which if you are local you know it is in the vicinity of the state office buildings which house the courts, DMV, etc.. I strongly believe that the killer has the ability to know where they will be meeting with clients and picks them up AFTER they leave a job and that is the abduction point. I dont believe its someone as obvious as a pimp, I think it is possibly a john who cancels on these girls last minute or does a no show and grabs them when they are ready to leave. Im sorry for taking up so much of the board and I hope this helps. And I also hope I can be helpful with my knowledge of the locality and the other information I have."
Colleen is mentioned in the Manorville case. Her cause of death was strangulation.
"Colleen McNamee, 20, of Holbrook and Rita Tangredi-Beinlich, 31, of East Patchogue who died from strangulation in 1994 and discovered in different locations. "

This post makes me wonder if possibly the SK is "cloning" cell phones of the escorts that he picks up.
Scenario: He calls an escort, meets with her once or even a few times, covertly "clones" her phone, then sends her merrily on her way.
Since the girl would have no idea that her phone had been cloned, the john could secretly be listening in on her phone calls, gathering pertinent information as to subsequent "dates" that are made between the escort and other johns.
Because the cloning is so secretive, the escort would be none the wiser. When a phone is cloned, all calls can be heard on a different phone as if the call had originally been made to that same (cloned) phone.
The john with the cloned phone could then lay in wait for the escort to leave an appointment, and then goes about murdering her at some date in the future.
No recent calls would be traced back to the murderous john, thus putting distance between the escort and any recent contact with the murderous john.
This type of cloning would also give the john information as to private/personal calls that the escort makes, such as to her family--thus, names of relatives, phone numbers to someone's workplace, etc. would be made available to the john without the escort's knowledge.
I do not know how cloning is done, but my understanding is that it is fairly easy to do, if one has a mind to do so. I am almost certain that one could find instructions for cloning by doing a Google search.
A drug rehab center? Now that's VERY interesting.
Here's a little information about the town of Hauppauge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauppauge,_New_York One especially interesting item: The Hauppauge Industrial Park, located at the edge of the hamlet, is the largest on Long Island, and by some accounts the second largest in the nation. The park has over 1,300 companies, and employs over 55,000 Long Islanders.
So this is an area with a lot of commuters and most likely a lot of regular business travelers visiting companies in the industrial park.
I found these drug rehab centers listed on one site:
* From the Ashes, Incorporated CD OP
300 Motor Parkway Hauppauge, NY 11788
* Suffolk County Div of Community Health
725 Veterans Memorial Highway Hauppauge, NY 11788
www.co.suffolk.ny.us
* Suffolk County Hauppauge
200 Wireless Boulevard Hauppauge, NY 11788
I doubt that's an exhaustive list.
I don't know when the following interview with GC was done (GC is warmly dressed and there is some snow on the ground). His house is behind him, but over his right shoulder there are men at work on a building that appears to be in the early stages of construction. The contactor sign on the building appears to be Darius (or Clarius?). It's in such close proximity to where SG was last seen, that hopefully LE has checked with that firm to determine if the building was under construction at the time of SG's disappearance, and what sub-contractors may have been involved in that construction site.

Reannan, thanks for that link: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-...ng-island-serial-killer-victims-secret-life/#
Detectives and family members combed through [MB's] phone records...A few of the numbers belonged to her regular clients...Other numbers were traced to throwaway phones purchased in Manhattan. One of the phones was linked to the name Mickey Mouse.
a quick note.. i forgot that the non locals wouldnt know a commercial license plated vehicle would not be allowed on ocean pkwy. it has to be a state vehicle or a regular plate to be on a parkway on long island.
Seconding thanks to Reannan. Another interesting tidbit from the same article (SBM):
We had always assumed the killer used throwaway phones, but this appears to be confirmation. And now we know where he bought them, and another Manhattan connection. For those of you theorizing that the killer works in the city, here's more evidence pointing in that direction.
Part two..
So if ALC has 3 to 4 calls on her roomates' phone and he still has the phone, can LE tell where the PCs came from even if it's a disposable phone?
Also it seems that the "dates" were rather last minute. Not all that prearranged as in it's Tuesday today, lets book that for Friday. If Sk is married then he needs last minute or same day bookings so he knows when the family will be out.
I still go with older, local, has some money, his profession does not bind him in a 9-5, can zip into the city quickly if need be, has a "relationship" with the women before hand
and has been around LE or medical personnel. Also might be in a profession that gives him leeway that he has to be out for of the house, neighborhood without much notice. Like a medical emergency.
In re MBB, here's another article ( link )
My sister maureen Has been missinf since July 10 2007. [...] We reported her missing through our local police department. while I called Ny and reported her missing to them. They said that the last call ping off her cell phone was a water town on long island.
Eta ~ watertown is in upstate NY

Snipped for brevity
So we have all four women we now know were on LI most likely. I have also read several accounts that MBB's phone was pinged on LI, and not Port A. So what do they have in common beside the LI placement. I find it odd that two of them MB and ALC had men/bf. pimps and were somewhat secretative about were they were going the last night.
Also ALC uses her male roomates' phone for connections and she was negotiating three to four p calls with the "date" according to the roomate. ok but why 3 to 4 calls? If it was not someone she knows, why all that talking. You get a call, you have a price, you say yes or no. The negotiating process tells me she had something to bargain with outside the regular stuff. May not have been sexual. May have been..jeez you live way out..don't want to spend that kind of time. Who knows. She was comfortable and knew something that would up the price.
Something inside keeps telling me that the head found in the bag on Oak Beach is going to link back to Taylor. Just a feeling, but it's a powerful one. If it does link back, does that mean Taylor (and the other Manorville victims) is the work of our SK? I haven't a clue at this point. Until we get some id on the latest remains found, I'm completely stumped as to whether our SK even has an m.o. we can use for profiling. I would think he'd stick to a pattern (ie; strangulation, burlap bags, leaving bodies whole), but now, I just can't say that with any certainty. I honestly no longer know what I think. :banghead:
