I’d imagine he’d confirm that what he has is the same as what was released…
John Ray, the attorney for Shannan Gilbert’s family will hold a news conference at his office on Long Island around 11:30 a.m. He said he will present evidence concluding that she was the victim of a homicide.
I hadn't seen this article, just the more common one.SG arrest June 2009
I found the other case and was wondering if it was the same Ruis as well. Same age. TYI have only news reports, no court docs.
Gilbert has a standing indictment in Hudson County as a co-defendant in a case concerning First Professional Referral Services, the escort service where she was allegedly employed, on charges of conspiracy and promoting prostitution, DeFazio said.
The main defendant, Joseph Ruis, was convicted of money laundering and sent to state prison on a five-year sentence, DeFazio said. Ruis has since been paroled.
DeFazio said if the remains are identified as hers the case will be dismissed against Gilbert, who was out on her own custody at the time she disappeared. DeFazio said that despite the indictment Gilbert was considered missing rather than a fugitive.
18-month-old mystery over Shannan Gilbert's disappearance may be over; reaction in Hudson
Police had resumed their search last week after studying images of clothing taken by an FBI plane that flew over and photographed the areawww.nj.com
ETA: Not that it is related to SG but I have to wonder if this is the same Joseph Ruis (the age would match, and I thought he had moved to CA)
Re: United States of America v. Joseph Ruis
Alexandria, Virginia criminal defense attorney represented defendant charged with a conspiracy involving the distribution of wholesale quantities of synthetic cannabinoids—commonly known as “spice” or “K2”—and laundering millions of dollars in the proceeds of the sale of that spice.<br> <br>...www.morelaw.com
then how is this not considered a probable scenario re: JB's and SG's "date"?
I agree very much, in the very least, I think she is going through floods of adrenaline. Not sure what the repeating phrases could be, as you said, could be head injury of some kind, or some sort of dissociative state from shock as she was trying to process whatever it was that was happening (or had happened during the course of the night).Another thing I'm just recalling. Shannan repeats herself ALOT! Things like "There's somebody after me," "Please" and "Why?" and others.
It reminds me of folks I've encountered with head injuries, usually concussed. They often repeat themselves.
I already believe her to have been drugged. I'm now thinking she may have sustained something - blunt force or strangulation - causing brain injury. In such a fight or flight moment, it could explain why she is not recalling any other specifics. Head injury victims often won't know the day of the week or where they are, even if they knew all of it immediately prior to injury.
I'm now wondering if she awoke in the middle of some act, or just waking at all from what rendered her incapacitated, that led her to believe the parties were trying to harm her and adrenaline took over. Adrenaline dumps can last hours.
If there was any type of intoxicant - alcohol, opioid, benzodiazepine, dissociative, barbiturate, etc - an increased heart rate caused by any means will only push that through the system even faster. Her in-and-out at certain points definitely says more intoxicant to me.I agree very much, in the very least, I think she is going through floods of adrenaline.

I did notice at one point during the call some labored breathing. Not while she was running, while she was at rest. If it's not her, the 911 operator was breathing into the phone.
The breathing didn't sound right to me. I didn't take it as a sign of strangulation, more as possible respiratory acidosis. IMO
In an article published by the Daily Mail today Gilgo Beach victim attorney denies police claims of 'tragic accident'
where Shannon Gilbert's family attorney (John Ray) states that SG had a hole in her hyoid bone--it looked like possibly a drilled hole--suggesting the hole in the hyoid bone, along with the fact the hyoid bone was broken, point to Shannon's death as a homicide:
"Ray had Forensic Pathologist Dr Michael Baden perform an autopsy on Gilbert which revealed her Hyoid bone was not only broken but the bone had a hole in it.
"The hole in the bone Ray described had a radius of 3/16 of an inch in a bone which is about two inches.
'A normal Hyoid bone has no holes, this appears to be some puncture hole or drill hole that went through her neck, possibly some type of medical equipment was used."
I found this article on Hyoid Suspension--"a procedure to stabilise the retrolingual space in obstructive sleep apnoea." Modification of the Hörmann technique of hyoid suspension in obstructive sleep apnoea - PubMed
"Using the Hörmann technique, a steel wire is slung around the body of the hyoid and fixed to the upper rim of the thyroid cartilage. It was observed, however, that the steel wire may lie very superficially to the pharyngeal mucosa. Evaluation of computed tomography (CT) scans showed a mean distance between the hyoid and the pharynx of only 3 mm. A modification is presented by threading a steel wire through a hole that is drilled through the hyoid bone. Thus pharyngeal exposure of the steel ligature and possible perforation of the mucosa is avoided."
Obviously, there could be a legitimate medical reason why Shannon Gilbert had a hole in her hyoid bone--yet, it doesn't seem to have been entertained at all by the attorney or others involved in examining Shannon's remains for clues on how she died--why make a statement trying to create mystery and justification for murder around an aspect that is tied to a medical su
