Why do i think they went to Hammerheads? As I said, it was not a local type bar. It was a major venue which brought in big acts of the time like Blue Oyster cult, KISS, Twisted Sister, etc. and it was on a major highway, it was definitely a popular place. I think i had read that Tina Foglia had actually hitch hiked that night to get there which indicates her killer didn't bring her there.
It should be glaringly obvious that when you have two women missing their heads and mutilated dumped in a wooded desolate area that something more sinister is going on to the police, however SCPD has a habit of downplaying everything. They don't like ringing the alarm and shattering the image that suffolk county is less than a nice place to live, they certainly aren't going to hit the panic button and announce a serial killer after finding only two bodies.
Yes, the blog about JT was long before she was identified.
