Yes, they were. I was wondering if putting them in burlap was an indication that he has a need to dispose of his victims in an orderly fashion (possibly a glimpse into his personality) or was it simply convenient and easiest if he happened to have had burlap laying around or had easy access to it.
Still, if the victims were drugged a man with physical limitations would probably be able to pull it off.
I still think the burlap had some sort of significance to him. It wasn't as if he did it within a short time frame, where he just happened to have burlap laying around due to some landscaping project or something. He used burlap for at least 3 years to hide 4 bodies! I believe it had some sort of religious significance where it was meant to "chastise" the bodies of these women who were prostitutes - sort of like the rituals of groups like Opus Dei with their flagellation rituals. (Nothing personal against Opus Dei - that is just what came to my mind.) The first 4 bodies that were found, and the 4 bodies in AC just have a "ritualistic" feel to them. With the paltry amount of information we have, the other bodies that have been found do not seem to fit the same mold. I can't help but believe at least all of the LI murders are connected, but that means he changed up his MO at some point. How much longer is it going to take to get an ID on some of the other victims??
Are there really no posts here since 12:41 AM?
The video where the wife talks, you can see PH walk into the house. I didn't notice any strangeness to his gait in that video. But then, maybe I wasn't looking for it?
I thought he sort of lumbered in that video as well. I need to watch it again. Was that the one where he also leaned heavily on the storm door?
Since we have heard that he strangled at least some of his victims and at least one with a ligature, then it is not such a big leap to assume that he is into bondage and that is what the higher $$$ figure represents. Once the woman are restrained, they are simply at his mercy and they really aren't much of a physical challenge for a physically impaired man.
I wonder if there was a serious accident and if the SK was laid up recuperating, for a time, with a live-in nurse (spouse) by his side.
Could definitely be an element of order to it. Note how they were each spaced so precisely apart, each contained in their own little burlap cocoon. I think he wanted to be able to ride past and pick each individual out by sight. There's Maureen (evil grin), oh, and there's Melissa (slobbery evil sicko grin)...
(The more I THINK I know this guy, the more I hate him.)
Especially if he'd spent time courting them and building up trust on previous dates.
I don't know if it was rumor or speculation, but someone said something about Doc getting these injuries in a car accident? If that's correct, I'd love to know what year that was...
PLEASE NOTE THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS POST IS OPINION. THERE'S NOT A VERIFIED FACT IN IT.
I asked a friend whose mother lives in Islip about an accident, and the mother got back to me with many rumors. It could be described as "lots of good dirt"; she used the word "coverup" a couple of times. And so far I can't validate or disprove any of it. I can't even find that anything was released to the public. I'm about ready to pay for a subscription to Newsday so I can go trawling in the archives.
If she's even partly right, though, it predated all of this, even AC, and it all tended to exonerate the doctor.
One thing she did say that I thought was interesting is that she says the gated part of Oak Beach is where a bunch of important Long Island people live, several of them connected to the DA's office, LE, county government executives, hospital managers, etc. Her perception is that if the killer lives there, it will never come out to the public. They take care of their own.
As I said, this is all her opinion.
If they're using the conventional position, the woman is very vulnerable. The killer could have his hands around her neck before she even knew what was happening.
The deliberate spacing of the bodies still makes me wonder if LI/AC are connected. I think the police have hinted that they no longer believe there's a connection, but I don't know how final that conclusion is.
