To Anyone Who May Understand the Ins and Outs of Constitutional Law:
Do Rights to Privacy apply to dead people? (This is a completely serious question.)
That is my question: what right does the public have in the state of New York to an individual's ME report if that person's c.o.d. is not ruled as suspicious or as a homicide?So im assuming they arent going to release the ME report to the public?

11. How can I obtain a copy of the Autopsy Report?
Completed autopsy and toxicology reports are obtained by written request to:
Office of Chief Medical Examiner
Records Department
421 East 26 Street
New York, NY 10016
A blank request letter may be obtained from the Identification Unit Staff who interviews you.
Please include in your request:
The name of the deceased
Medical Examiner case number (available from the ID Unit staff or the death certificate)
Date and borough of death
Your name and relationship to the deceased
Note: Autopsy reports may only be requested by next of kin.
If you want these reports sent to someone other than yourself (eg., to an attorney or an insurance company), your signature on the request must be notarized.
Tell me if I'm wrong but I believe that the State of New York prohibits the broadcast of 911 calls, so they will not release the tape. It is however your right to request written transcripts of the 911 call under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA.) You'll need to make a written request to the local authorities.
Best post I have read on this subject ever.
You are correct except that even though it is a person's right to request information under the Freedom of Information Act, the Suffolk County Police Department and District Attorney's office have a very strict policy of standing behind FOIA Exemption Rule #7 and using it to deny the majority of the FOIA requests that they receive.
Don't think it's true?
Try submitting a FOIA request for even a closed case from 20 years ago and you will never receive the information/documents that you request. Instead, you will receive a denial letter explaining that the information you requested is exempt from being released under the FOIA due to the terms and conditions of Exemption #7.
Here is a link to Exemption #7 if anyone is interested in learning more about it from the Justice Department;

I think interested parties thought the case was cold and about to all go away. Then the mob sex trafficking bust happened. I don't think it was a coincidence that they got a tip and found her body. Since the case had not gone away thanks to the persistant families and us WSers, I think they decided to "give up Shannan" to try to satisfy those who would not let go. It had to be an accident or they wold still have to be solving a murder. So they came up with the most ridiculous story I have ever heard. These guys must really be out of touch with reality. That she drowned in a puddle of water and with the most high tech equipment available they had missed her and she had been in that swamp, a toss away from the parkway, all this time is totally laughable. The SK has been very clever and by letting the bodies turn to bones, there will be no DNA or other evidence anyone can take to court. That's my guess about what is going on. Unless the feds take this case on the SK has won and his enablers and/or accomplices have won. For now. Investigating all these very obscure people for me is a waste of time. The only real sleuthing left for us would be figuring out the strip club/mob sex trafficking connection to SG and to the SK.
As you can see, time is passing and my theory is proving to be true. We even had new remains found in Manorville yet not a hint of any progress in this case.
No word on the new victim's sex.
No word on SG's cause of death.
No update on any progress that has been made.
At this rate the weeks are turning into months and soon the months will turn into years.
I do NOT believe the case will go cold!
I also believe the Vacation Retal Community has suffered & the Sales have dropped dramatically as well as the home values pummeted. I know people who are not vacationing there solely because of the community & the LE & Political leaders have not pushed to bring this sad tragic LINGERING Black cloud to leave the area. The longer it is NOT SOLVED the longer the community will not bounce back. Failure To Thrive. Thank the Oak Beach Community for there secret connected society. The community in LI suffers & need to seek politians to oust & revamp Police DePT. The FBI should have the right to ReBuild a system (using systamatic approach). When A, B & C Fails the government needs to step in & Fix it.
I am inclinded to believe the FBI is on this case. Crossing state lines. This is a very HIGH PROFILE case. I tend to think it is on the top of the list. The community is being watched by the rest of the world. People do not tolerate SK's running around while innocent hard working families pay the Salaries of the Politians. Let's remember we pay the salaries...we want answers...we want criminals behind bars, we PAY TAXES...LOTS & LOTS. We want to feel safe & heard, thats their job. They can't do it they are voted out.
I do not buy we do not have a voice because we do & so don't the Victims & Their FAMLIES. We are America & we have a standard & if we are attacked & unsafe we pull together like 9-11. We become patriotic, we unite, we get the job done. I am optimistic & do not believe anything less than JUSTICE being served. See buying into our hands are tied creates our hands to be tied. They are Not. The LE hands will be tied because the FBI will do what is right for all.
