I dont think Spota told Bellone to do anything.
was watching several of the older news videos the other night & caught a glimpse of another set of skeletal remains that were located...not sure which victim this was
Hi Precious Dust, I really don't agree with you about the FBI. They work on cases at the request of the respective LE Departments. They defer to that LE Dept and give their expert advice or whatever is needed to that Dept.I think the FBI investigates whatever they feel like investigating, and ignores what they feel like ignoring. Right at their site, they say, "Spies. Terrorists. Hackers. Pedophiles. Mobsters. Gang leaders and serial killers. We investigate them all, and many more besides." I think it's safe to say that if they wanted to investigate a report that fred&edna had jaywalked, they'd do it, and if they wanted to ignore a reports of terrorists, hackers, pedophiles, etc., they'd do that too. They are, essentially, accountable to no one, though I think it's reasonable to speculate that since 9/11 they've devoted a larger portion of their time to terrorists than ever before.
One situation where they might feel compelled to ramp up their efforts regarding the LISK would be if they felt there were any type of internal conflicts or even corruption impeding the current investigation.
I just have to mention that the FBI, for a taxpayer-funded organization, is an organization that is almost impossible for a taxpayer to get in touch with. They have a "tips" line for major cases; if you call it, a recording gives you choices of major investigations to give tips on (like, "if you have information about the bank robbery on such-and-such date in San Juan, Puerto Rico, press 1"); if the case you're interested is not listed (and LISK isn't), there's no further options, there's no "hold for operator", the caller is at a dead end. It is absolutely and completely impossible to get an FBI agent on the phone, whether you call Washington, Long Island, or your local office. They have no email addresses that you can write to (literally - they say "we have no outside email"). It is possible to get a receptionist, almost reluctantly, to give you a PO Box to write to, and I wrote them a letter last week (in the letter, I couldn't even refer to who had given me the address, as even the receptionists won't identify themselves by name).
Anyway, the line I like from that Post article is "Suffolk County Police Commissioner Edward Webber has signaled a willingness to finally involve the FBI in the case". And I really hope it means something.

One of the most compassionate and respectfully written articles I have read about the victims!
The author of that is amazing! I've read some of her other articles.
I am beyond sick of hearing the word prostitute or hooker constantly being used when writing about these women! They were so much more than that I' m sure! What itsounds like to me is " Yeah these woman were killed but don't have too much sympathy for them, after all they were prostitutes!"
It was nice to read an article written by someone who seemed to be equally disgusted by the way the media has handled this story.
As ugly as it sounds....thats reality. They were hookers or prostitutes. Nobody here is diminishing the value of their life because of it. But they were hookers and prostitues.....if there was a guy out killing accountants and actuaries we would probably call them accountants and actuaries as well.
Their profession has everything to do with their murders, IMO. Whoever killed them did so because their is a direct link to prostitution...no matter what motivates the killings.
I think it is relevant that they were prostitutes, but as a female of the human race I am really offended by the word "hooker."
