Just for one moment, let's put aside the evil government cover-up/conspiracy theories and treat this detective's statements as being nothing other than pure facts.
When you look at it without immediately discrediting and bashing the homicide squad, this is what you get;
FACT #1: The family attorney does not have his facts straight.
FACT #2: SG could not help the police respond to her quickly because she misled them in the wrong direction and obviously didn't know that she was at Oak Beach.
FACT #3: SG and the men in the house all sounded calm as if SG wasn't in any danger (and at no time during the entire phone call does SG ever sound desperate).
FACT #4: Despite sounding calm and never sounding desperate, SG irrationally ran from house to house from people who were trying to help her and from her driver who was her only means of transportation back to New Jersey.
FACT #5: A man who was SG's previous driver confirmed that SG has a history of running from houses & apartments in the same fashion as well as being a paranoid person who at times acted irrationally.
FACT #6: The FBI and TWELVE other law enforcement agencies have been assisting the SCPD's homicide department with this investigation.
FACT #7: The homicide squad has given this case its full attention.
When you look at it without immediately discrediting and bashing the homicide squad, this is what you get;
It is quite obvious that Ray has not listened to Gilbert's 911 call nor spoken to any investigators assigned to the case. His claims are misleading and lack credibility...
FACT #1: The family attorney does not have his facts straight.
I listened to Gilbert's 22-minute 911 call. The 911 operator tried several times to get Gilbert's location. At one point, she mentioned she was near Jones Beach. Gilbert never said she was at Oak Beach. It is hard to respond to a call when the person calling doesn't know where he or she is...
FACT #2: SG could not help the police respond to her quickly because she misled them in the wrong direction and obviously didn't know that she was at Oak Beach.
In the house at Oak Beach, Gilbert was not about to be murdered. Her demeanor on the tape was calm. You can hear male voices on the tape, and they are calm. At no time during this call was she desperate. From what I heard on the call, Gilbert was not speaking as if she were in danger...
FACT #3: SG and the men in the house all sounded calm as if SG wasn't in any danger (and at no time during the entire phone call does SG ever sound desperate).
Despite this, she decided to run from the house and her driver, whom she relied on to take her back to New Jersey... As we all know by now, Gilbert ran to another house seeking assistance. She was let into the house. When the gentleman in the house said he was going to call the police, she ran into the reeds across the street. I also interviewed this gentleman. Finally, she knocked on another door, but again ran away before the woman who lived there could find out what was going on....
FACT #4: Despite sounding calm and never sounding desperate, SG irrationally ran from house to house from people who were trying to help her and from her driver who was her only means of transportation back to New Jersey.
During the investigation, I interviewed an individual who drove Gilbert to her "dates" in the past. He said she would leave houses and apartments in the same fashion as she did in Oak Beach. He described her as being a paranoid person and at times acting irrationally.
FACT #5: A man who was SG's previous driver confirmed that SG has a history of running from houses & apartments in the same fashion as well as being a paranoid person who at times acted irrationally.
Suffolk County has not turned down offers of help from the FBI. The FBI has provided a psychological profile of the offender and coordinated the use of a Blackhawk military helicopter to conduct an aerial search of the Ocean Parkway area, using classified equipment. In addition to the FBI, 12 other law enforcement agencies have assisted the homicide squad...
FACT #6: The FBI and TWELVE other law enforcement agencies have been assisting the SCPD's homicide department with this investigation.
Detectives have traveled to the hometowns of each victim many times to meet with the families, and to several states as part of the investigation. For most of 2011, the detectives assigned have set aside their personal lives, working long hours for weeks at a time. For Ray to insinuate that the homicide squad has given this case less than its full attention because of the victim's lifestyle is grossly inaccurate...
FACT #7: The homicide squad has given this case its full attention.
