On May 1, 2010, in Suffolk County, on The Fairway, a woman, Shannan Gilbert, called 911 at 4:51 am requesting police assistance. She was later observed by neighbors running from house to house and knocked on two different neighbor's doors. Gilbert Colletti and Barbara Brennan had made subsequent 911 calls. The latter made a call at 5:22 am. Responding officers assert they were on scene at 5:32 am. The original caller, Shannan Gilbert, was found in December 2011, deceased, only yards from where her 911 call took place. There is no record of the May 1, 2010 incident other than the calls to 911. This author is in the process of requesting the 911 calls, police or incident reports, witness reports, and supplemental reports using a FOIL request. After the discovery of Ms. Gilbert's body, the SCPD has asserted that the contents of the 911 calls have no evidentiary value to account for how Ms. Gilbert's body was later found yards from where her 911 call took place. A former detective of the case has written and had published a letter disputing the public's perceved notion of the events that took place on May 1, 2010. The public's understanding of the events during the early morning of May 1, 2010, has only been through press conferences held by SCPD before and after the discovery of Ms. Gilbert's remains. Ms. Gilbert's disappearance shed light on the discovery of many bodies along the coastline in Suffolk County indicating a serial killer. Ms. Gilbert was in Suffolk County on May 1, 2010, as a known prostitute. The lack of a police or incident report by SCPD for May 1, 2010, begs the question of a cover up on a larger scale by SCPD. The former detective who claims he responded to the scene on May 1, 2010, asserts that Ms. Gilbert called 911 stayed on the call for 23 minutes and was calm during that call, yet was frantic and running door to door. Because the 911 tape has not been released, there are few who can confirm or deny the content of that call. The statements from the SCPD regarding this case question the intelligence of the People. It has been over 2 years since the start of this case and no resolution has been made by the SCPD. Because this case includes the work of a serial killer in Suffolk County, the subsequent actions by them creates serious doubt that everything is being done to apprehend those involved. It is of great risk to the residents of Suffolk County and the rest of the Country if the serial killer has since moved. If the members of society do not speak up and question the words and actions of the SCPD and hold them accountable, who will? The public has a right to know.
