Yep, there's a whole lot of stuff earlier in this thread, when Bittrolff was first arrested, that would be helpful for people who haven't read it to go back and read. Bittrolff's wife, who had all the money in the family (John was a small-time subcontractor), hasn't had anything to say to...

If they can tie Bittrolff to Jessica Taylor, a "non-GB4" LISK victim, and also to GB4 Melissa Barthelemy, then it's game, set, match - the identity of the LISK will be solved. As bad as the police have been on this case, it's probably worth remembering that they initially denied that Bittrolff...

I misspoke, it was Rita Tangredi's daughter who was friends with MB (in upstate New York). This was discussed when Bittrolff was arrested (as I recall, in the early pages of this thread), and was also mentioned in this newspaper article from yesterday...

I would be completely cynical about it as well, as the police have so far in this case botched things up to a degree that looks downright suspicious. And they'd no doubt love to close the case by pinning it on someone/anyone. But here's two very vital connections between Bittrolff and the Gilgo...

Quoting myself from three years ago (rest of quote below), as SCPD has a remarkably belated "uh, now that I think about it" moment and claims that unspecified evidence from the Gilgo killings does, in fact, wow gee what a coinkydink, match Bittrolff's "handiwork". After, of course, vehemently...

By strangulation. Long rap sheet starting in '95: http://www.fox5ny.com/news/20393555-story

Lube and playing cards is not purely speculation, it's a statement from Michael Pak: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/06/jersey_city_prostitute_still_m.html So is the claim that JB called MP to get SG. So is the claim that JB and SG went somewhere for 15 minutes. All statements from Pak...

I'm not sure of any citation that says JB called Pak; as per Pak's recollection, JB "summoned" him to help get SG out of his house - to summon Pak all JB would have to do is open his front door, as Pak was sitting in his car less than 20 feet away the whole time. Meanwhile, of course, SG was...

Is that a boat access joke? https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Erie_Canal

That is truly outstanding, thanks. I would've liked to see SG included as well, but that's a minor quibble.

My thoughts exactly. In that scenario, whether he would have tried to dump her starting from the beach community or starting from the parkway, he almost literally wouldn't have been able to do it (drag a body that far, in the dark, through thick brush over uneven sandy/watery ground).

You would think that the author of that article, Joe Coscarelli, would at a minimum relay a message for you to the admin of the defunct site.

New York's WPIX has a new 4-minute overview that has a little of everything - Atlantic City, Bitrolff, Gus Colleti, the friendship of Amanda Tangredi and Melissa Barthelemy, and that....Molly Diltz (sp?) found in Atlantic City in 2006 was Facebook friends with Amber Lynn Costello (hadn't heard...

In the newest update to the FOX story... http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/03/12/prostitute-found-dead-near-ny-serial-killers-dumping-ground-likely-murdered/ ...Baden says He adds that the thyroid cartilage was not present in the remains he examined although that hadn't been reported missing...

CPH can't be too happy about how FOX is taking up the story. Michael Baden is a FOX personality, of course, and it looks like FOX plans on running with the CPH angle. In a new story, it is asserted that SG's hyoid bone "showed roughness" on one side, and they imply this could indicate...
