It also would be helpful to know WHICH crime scene along ocean parkway the belt was found near, or bodies specifically.. But they love the old “decline to comment” in Suffolk.As far as I remember the belt was left very ambiguous. Hart claimed it was "handled" by an unknown suspect and did not belong to any of the victims. The term "handled" would lead me to believe DNA was obtained from the belt. I have heard many theories on the initials of the belt. If they are indeed initials I would think they are HM. And that HM might have once been married to a Guy who she later divorced. She might have been connected to good old Lowrita. And where there's Lowrita...well...
But it's hard for me to understand why they chose to release that small piece of evidence when they did.
It's also hard for me to believe lisk would leave his belt.
The only way I could see that happenning is if he was cognitively impaired due to alcohol and/or narcotics.
I also wonder why the buckle was not shown. A buckle would clear up whether it was HM or WH. Perhaps the buckle was not present. A belt can be repurposed for many things, especially if the person doing the repurposing is a sadist.
But at this point, knowing how much the investigation and entire case has been and continues to be compromised, there's a part of me that wonders if the belt was even there in the first place or if it was just a bone scpd was throwing out to the public to show they were making progress and sharing information.
When that press conference was held and they showed the pic of the belt, I was so disheartened. It just seemed like such a nothing burger. But i might be totally wrong. I usually am as a general rule in life

Look how long it took them to partially release the 911 Tape. How about the videotape of the guy shooting Medius and driving off in his Jeep.It also would be helpful to know WHICH crime scene along ocean parkway the belt was found near, or bodies specifically..

Burke's specialty was blackmailing people into submission. A lot of people believe Spota engineered Burke getting the top spot - I hear otherwise - and it made a lot of sense for me. The most important thing for Spota was to keep Burke close to him so he could watch him and keep him out of trouble.
I remember the day it was announced Burke was going to be Chief. My phone rank and a executive at Newsday I was friendly with said I must be upset. Told him quite the contrary because in my opinion it marked the end of Burke's reign of terror.
Spota had a special team of old time detectives he hired as DA Investigators just hired to keep tabs on Jimmy Boy. One fellow was deeply involved in the investigation of the Pius murder. Burke was a subject in that murder and now this ex-detective, on paper works for Burke.

Back in the day there was a famous night club on ocean parkway called the Oak beach inn. “OBI” sadly it closed down about 15 years ago. Every one went there and rubbed elbows with celebrities, criminals, top cops, pols, the wealthy, Joe brewer, Hackett and yes most likely the oak beach killer, Joel Rifkin andCheck out if there is a connection why Hackett used Spota old law partner to represent him
The belt is filed in my memory as having been associated with the GB4.It also would be helpful to know WHICH crime scene along ocean parkway the belt was found near, or bodies specifically.. But they love the old “decline to comment” in Suffolk.

Included in NY Post article earlier this week is the statement:
Authorities have previously said the slayings were the work of at least three killers, with the area around Gilgo Beach having “been used to discard human remains for some period of time.”
Can someone help me out with that sentence? Have I missed something?
I do not recall authorities ever mentioning "at least three killers".
They partied at the OBI together along with the oak beach killer.
