GB4 = Gilgo Beach 4 victims :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island_serial_killer
Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, of Norwich, Connecticut, was a prostitute who advertised her services online. Maureen, who was only four feet eleven inches tall and one hundred five pounds, went to Long Island, New York, "to spend the day in New York City" and was never seen again.[26] Maureen, a struggling mother, escorted off of Craigslist to pay the mortgage on her house, but after successfully leaving the sex industry for seven months Maureen eventually returned to pay her bills after receiving an eviction notice.[27] She
was last seen on July 9, 2007, when she left Norwich for New York City.[28] Her body was found in December 2010.[29]
Melissa Barthelemy, 24, of Erie County, New York,
went missing on July 10, 2009. She had been living in the Bronx and working as an escort through Craigslist.[30] On the night she went missing, she met with a client, deposited $900 in her bank account and attempted to call an old boyfriend, but did not get through. Beginning one week after her disappearance, and lasting for five weeks, her teenage sister, Amanda, received a series of "vulgar, mocking and insulting" calls from someone who may have been the killer, using her sister's cell phone.[31]
Megan Waterman, 22, of South Portland, Maine,
went missing on June 6, 2010, after placing advertisements on Craigslist as an escort; the day before she had told her 20-year-old boyfriend that she was going out and would call him later. At the time of her disappearance, she was staying at a motel in Hauppauge, NY, 15 miles northeast of Gilgo Beach. Her body was also recovered in December 2010.[32]
Amber Lynn Costello, 27, of North Babylon, New York, a town ten miles north of Gilgo Beach. She was a prostitute and a heroin user, and
went missing on September 2, 2010.[32] On the night she disappeared, she went to meet a stranger who had called her several times and offered her $1,500 for her services.[33] As of 2012 Costello's sister and fellow prostitute, Kimberly Overstreet, has vowed to use the same Craigslist booking system as her sister in an effort to lure the killer.[34]
And JFYI:
And sometimes you will see we use another abbreviation: AC4
and AC4 stands for; Atlantic City 4 victims.
In April 2011 both SCPD and ACPD LE in media talked about a possible connection between the GB4 and the AC4 cases, but a couple of days later they said they believed there was no connection.
But then in a dec 2014 at a press conference with Atlantic County prosecutor Jim McClain a
Journalist asked Jim McClain: "any reason to think there might be any connection between the Gilgo Beach Long Island killer and what happened the in Atlantic City?
James Mcclain (Atlantic City prosecutor) answer: "I am not prepared to discuss that"
So it seems that LE believe there could be a connection after all, otherwise McClain would have said "no" to the journalist's question IMO.
ATLANTIC CITY SERIAL KILLER VICTIMS
All 4 victims were found November 20, 2006.
Their bodies was found in a drainage ditch filled with shallow water behind the Golden Key Motel on the Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township, situated on the outskirts of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
All of them were placed face down in a row, facing east, about sixty feet apart from each other. They were clothed except for having their shoes and socks removed.
Two of the victims were believed to have been strangled to death, the other two victims was too decomposed to determine COD.

Here is a post of mine explaining why I believe the GB4 and the AC4 cases are connected:
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...e-GB4-and-other-murders&p=8187068#post8187068
And you can find many threads in this LISK forum about problems with the Suffolk County Police Department. The fact is that the Gilgo Beach murders have not been solved, and there is ongoing debate about whether a number of other victims can be attributed to the SK.
