I was trying to check, but I have a problem, is Fire Island Doe's NamUs down for anyone else? I thought that took a while after ID.
Looks like the link I was trying to use had a typo, her page is still up as of this moment.

MOO

Absolutely there could be the possibility of more than one serial killer, just found it odd that my POI had so much in common with this case, attended the same methadone program as Amber, hung out with her, got high with her, possibly had sex with her, had a lingerie fetish among others, military and LE knowledge, lifelong Long Islander, knows top officials on the Island. And an ex wife with the same name as one of the victims who seemed to have their family tortured most. But, DNA is pointing at RH as I see it. Maybe I see a lot of coincidence where there is none.
Sounds like you did your homework!!!

Thanks for you sleuthing. Thanks for caring about the Westchester young women.

I'm okay with defense attorneys doing their job.

MOO
Me too. I understand that they have to defend their client even if they know where the bodies are buried. It’s their job and it’s the only way to guarantee fair representation. Even if it irks me how they do it sometimes I know that if I was wrongly accused they would be exactly who I’d want representing me.

"....this case is by no means open and shut. There will be more prosecutions to follow, and more questions to answer. One of the big ones: Are there more victims? Among the list of other potential LISK victims are Tina Foglia, whose dismembered remains were found in Gilgo Beach in 1986; Judith Ramona Veloz, who went missing from New York City in 1993; and Natasha Jugo, whose car was found abandoned in Gilgo Beach in 2013."

The Long Island serial killer case may finally be solved — but many questions remain
A surprise arrest after a 13-year investigation shocked the true crime community — and relieved New Yorkers.

I thought Natasha Jugo died by suicide? Or was it never fully determined?

I also think we will find that Carmen (Velez?) the woman from East Harlem found on Meadowbrook Pkwy will not be a victim of RH. I do not think he had any business uptown in 1989 nor do I think he would have the desire to go into that territory. 106 & Lexington in those days was very different than today and from his alleged victims and internet searches he picks white women or Asians. JMO.

1993, would this be the new, earliest disappearance potentially linked to LISK? Do we know how long they estimated Fire Island Jane Doe's legs had been there before they were found in 1996?
I found Fire Island Doe's NamUs, the PMI was 'months' and there are descriptions of surgical scarring, which tells me the legs were still fleshed and not so decomposed that the scarring wasn't visible. I think she's too far from Judith to be her, timewise.

Judith's NamUs also describes a large tattoo on her right thigh, and doesn't mention surgical scars.

The man charged with three of the notorious "Gilgo four" murders on New York's Long Island 13 years ago is facing a "massive amount'' of evidence in the case, prosecutors said Tuesday as he appeared in court for a pretrial conference hearing before a Suffolk County judge. Rex Heuermann, 59, was arrested last month and charged in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Costello, 27. The bodies of the women, who authorities say were sex workers, were found wrapped in burlap on Ocean Parkway in Gilgo Beach. Heuermann is also a prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, but has not been charged in that case. Police found at least 10 sets of human remains during their investigation.''

Another victims name returned to them. Absolutely fantastic news and long over due. I think IDs for Peaches and Baby Doe are right around the corner as well.

RH seems like a hoarder. IIRC, Peaches was wrapped in a bath towel and floral print pillow case. Perhaps he still has some of these linens. Or maybe they're visible in some old family photos.

If RH is responsible for Fire Island Jane Doe, we know he's been active since at least 1996. There are large gaps of time inbetween some of the victims. I'm fearful there are more we don't know about.
I am as well.
Think that beach could do with another cadaver dog search.. The beach and every geographical location resembling it with easy travelling distance of LI

Karen Vergata, 34 years old, although this must be a much younger pic. Looks like highschool? In the 70s?
