This is an excellent article, what i found most curious is:
"The burlap suggests someone with a blue-collar job, which is consistent with the disorganized profile, he said. Serial killers tend to have an ideal target, so similarities among the victims will be key, experts said. If the women were prostitutes or drug addicts, for instance, the vice squad could be asked to pump their street sources for information, Andreu said.
Suffolk police have not accepted the FBIs offer of a profiler a move that puzzled experts."
Why would SuffolkPD turn down the FBI's offering of a profiler? If anything, they should take all the help they can get.
The FBI and SPD are already working together, why not take the offer for an FBI profiler?
As for the burlap sacks, is it possible they weren't bought anytime recently and had been sitting around the killer's house for awhile?
The killer might not work in a field where burlap sacks are used, he might have a relative who did, and thus leftover burlap sacks.
Also it seems that at least Gilbert and Waterman were high class call girls. They advertised on Craigslist, Gilbert even had clients in Upper Saddler River, NJ (extremely wealthy area).
Link below to the mention of Gilbert being busted in Upper Saddler River:

These girls weren't street corner girls, they actually had drivers and their pimp had advertised them over the internet. In this day and age, nothing ever leaves the Internet once it's been on it. (If the johns had used burners to contact the girls then maybe they could get around it).
It seems more likely the type of people who would hire these girls would be more wealthy individuals, businessmen. I'm sure that the cost of hiring them, their travel, their drivers would be far from cheap.
The clientele that hire the girls would be more well to do, otherwise they would go for the cheaper girls on street corners.
Shannon Gilbert went missing out of a Gated Community. Would it be possible she would be given any drugs such as Ecstacy if she was apprehensive about doing a job with a client? It sounds like she was freaking out on drugs and ran out of the place.
Who exactly is Joseph Brewer? What is his occupation? What type of party was he having in which he would invite a working girl, Gilbert to?
As for GC and JC, both neighbors who saw her in a panic that night, describe her behavior as that similiar to someone who was on drugs.
Gilbert made quite a commotion that night, enough for neighbors to remember it and for Shannon to call 911.
Even if the same killer murdered her who killed the other girls, the killer would be stupid to dump her in the same spot as the others, given the commotion that night and witnesses that would remember Shannon. Maybe Brewer shouldn't be ruled out so quickly.
Another neighbor witnessed Brewer and an unknown male loading a parked Uhaul truck:
"Another resident of the gated beachfront community described the john as an oddball.
"That guy always gave me the creeps," the neighbor said.
"One night about two months ago, he parked a U-Haul van on the side of the house. It was the strangest thing," the neighbor added.
"He and another man were packing the truck up in the dark. They moved real fast. It took about fifteen minutes. They didn't turn any lights on except one little light. That was the last time I saw him."

What were they doing loading a Uhaul in the dark? Is the neighbor who witnessed this just willing to point fingers to avoid the witchhunt or is he making a valid observation of character?
IMO, i don't think Brewer should be ruled out completely.
