Me too, but here is the title and what I was able to copy over:
Who was the Jersey Shore's 'Eastbound Strangler'? 15 years later, we still don't know
The Monmouth County Prosecutors Office recently created the Cold Case Unit to work on unsolved cases in the county
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP — For 15 years, the killer of four women found dead behind a string of motels in Egg Harbor Township has confounded law enforcement.
The 2006 murders remain unsolved, haunting friends and relatives from Florida, where two of the victims had family, to Long Island, where authorities investigated a similar string of unsolved killings. The victims also had ties to Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Yo

IMO, it's more reasonable to think that the bodies were deposited along one direction of roadway. I doubt that the placement was directionally significant.

Now that the gilgo beach killer has been identified as a 6'5 300+ pound ogre. Since I am not familiar with every detail of tbis case. I know the major details. I'm not ruling out a connection but I have some question.
Does any witness testimony that we know about mention someone fitting or close to fitting RH's description and or black chevy avalanche? One would think such an uncommonly big person would stand out to someone that was at the motel where these crimes took place. Or where the women taken from and killed somewhere else and just dumpee behind hing rhe motel?

Between October and November 2006, four women who worked as prostitutes in Atlantic City, New Jersey, were found dead. The four victims were Barbara V. Breidor, Molly Jean Dilts, Kim Raffo and Tracy Ann Roberts.
The killer became known as the “Eastbound Strangler” because of the way he tied their bodies and left their heads pointed east.
The serial murderer killed each of the victims and left their bodies along a drainage canal between the Atlantic City Expressway and the Black Horse Pike in nearby Egg Harbor Township, according to NJ.com.
Various people have been connected to the case over the years, but none have been charged as the serial killer.

The four women were found dead behind a motel along Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township, just outside Atlantic City in December 2006. Three of the bodies were placed faced down in a row, about 60 feet apart from one another in a drainage ditch, and a fourth was found directly behind the motel. They were all clothed with the exception of socks and shoes.
The women – Barbara V. Breidor, 42; Molly Jean Dilts, 20; Kim Raffo, 35 and Tracy Ann Roberts, 23 – are believed to have been strangled to death. When police found their bodies, they were in varying states of decomposition, suggesting they had been killed at different times.
Authorities have investigated a number of suspects over the years, but no one has ever been charged. At one time, investigators explored whether the homicides might have been linked to the Long Island serial killings, including the Gilgo Beach Four, but never found evidence to support a connection.
In addition to the Egg Harbor Township case, investigators plan to examine crimes that fit a similar pattern of targeting sex workers in Las Vegas and South Carolina.
"Shame on us if we don't look into Las Vegas, South Carolina, even Atlantic City, we've got to make sure if anyone has any information," Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison told ABC7.

*December 2020
Barbara Breidor was a 42-year-old prostitute who was reported missing in October of 2006 already several weeks after she originally disappeared. Molly Dilts was a 20-year-old woman from Pennsylvania, and unlike the other victims, she was not connected to prostitution. As the method of acquiring his victims was likely through this line of work, Dilts’ murder has more mystery behind it, but another theory is that she was temporarily working as one because she did not have other employment. Kim Raffo was a 35-year-old former waitress from Brooklyn who left her home to pursue drugs in Atlantic City. She was seen just one day before the bodies were discovered, so she is believed to be the last of the four victims to be murdered. Tracy Roberts was a 23-year-old from Delaware who also used her line of work to support her drug habit.
Several suspects were investigated for these crimes, but none of them were proven to be responsible. Eldred Burchell confessed to another prostitute that he killed people, so he was questioned when she reported this to the police. He was unable to be connected to any of these murders, however. A repairman for the motel was also suspected for a short time. After a dispute with his girlfriend, she implicated him for these murders, and despite finding other disturbing things in his room, he was also unable to be connected to these specific crimes. He had cameras set up in his room and images of his girlfriend’s teen daughter undressing, so there was illegality there, just not murder.
There is very little hard evidence in relation to this case, but there are interesting theories. One is that these killings are related to the Long Island Serial Killer, who I have talked about before, but this is almost certainly ruled out. There is also a supposed witness who claims that there are two men responsible, one African American and one Caucasian. They claim that they lured the victims into a van with the promise of drugs, asking if they wanted to party with them at the motel their bodies were discovered by.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- The addicts and prostitutes who sell their souls to crack and their bodies to get it in dark alleys behind glittering casino hotels knew Molly Jean Dilts.
They saw her walking on garbage-strewn streets, past rooming houses with sagging beds, shared bathrooms and hot plates to warm coffee and canned soup. They knew her chubby face and her smile, and her habit of scoring an afternoon hit of crack between Atlantic and Pacific avenues.

But they don't know who killed the 20-year-old Blairsville mother and three prostitutes who were found last month -- barefoot and face-down with their heads pointed eastward -- in a drainage ditch behind cheap motels along the Black Horse Pike west of the city in Egg Harbor Township.
And what they don't know, they fear.
Amy, a thin, homeless prostitute who would not give her last name, on Thursday said she's afraid for her life when she turns tricks because of what happened to Dilts, Kim Raffo, 35, Tracy Ann Roberts, 23, and Barbara V. Briedor, 42.
"I think it's a serial killer," she said, resting her head on a paper placemat while waiting for free breakfast at Victory First Presbyterian Deliverance Church. "I walked around all night last night. I'm afraid now on the streets, but I don't have anywhere to go."

Egg Harbor Township paid $465,000 for the Golden Key as part of a $3 million grant from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority to level the building and other motels nearby.“I could never understand why these women were walking,” McCullough said of the discovery. “Had they not been walking, God knows how many more bodies would have been stacked up there.”
Verner Dilts remembers his daughter as a fearless young woman venturing into unfamiliar areas without thought.
She was in the Atlantic City area for a matter of weeks before she died, leaving behind a now 18-year-old son, Jeremiah Dilts, who was an infant around the time of the killings.
“I wish I was a better father because a lot of times I blame myself,” Verner Dilts said.
Gilgo Beach arrest renews hope for closure in West Atlantic City murders
Weeks after an arrest in a series of murders in New York, people are hopeful the break in that case can lead detectives to the person who killed four women near Atlantic City almost 17 years ago.

“We don’t believe that the sex workers killed in Atlantic City are connected to Rex Heuermann,” Harrison told The Post, adding cops in Atlantic County think someone else was behind the seaside slaughter.

I sure wish Harrison would let the NY Post and the rest of us in on the secret clue that tells them he isn’t connected.“We don’t believe that the sex workers killed in Atlantic City are connected to Rex Heuermann,” Harrison told The Post, adding cops in Atlantic County think someone else was behind the seaside slaughter.

CRIME HUNTER: Eastbound Strangler eludes cops for 15 years
The victims were not dissimilar from the town where they plied their trade.
''There were suspects early in the investigation but those persons of interest would eventually fade to nothingness.''
'One was handyman Terry Oleson, 41, who stayed for free at the Golden Key Motel in exchange for repairs when the homicides took place. An angry girlfriend told cops he was the killer. Inside his room detectives found cameras set up and images of his girlfriend’s teenage daughter undressing.'
But the DNA didn’t match and Oleson was never named as a suspect.''
''Eldred Raymond Burchell told another prostitute he was the killer but police queries never panned out. A slew of other low-rent habitues of Atlantic City’s seedier fringes were also questioned but to no avail.
Anyone with information about this case or any other serious crimes is asked to call the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office at 609-909-7800 or Crime Stoppers at 609-652-1234 or 1-800-658-8477 (TIPS).''
