OMG Please hold this poor woman's family in your prayers.

My 6YO wouldn't stop talking. Is she believed to be a victim of his?

 

[iamshadow21]

No questions.

They're not disclosing any possible suspects at this time.

They didn't even allude to it, but we are all thinking the same thing I am sure...

They aren't saying. No information on suspects, charges, etc.

The spokesman said there have been no arrests or suspects yet. Her date of death was 1996 (presumably), so she might not be connected to LISK.

I believe they identified the remains, but did not attribute the murder to RH at this time

 

[QB2022]

Thank you!

 

[Lore Listener]

Well, good news. Still hoping for IDs on the other victims and charges against RH in Maureen's murder. Fingers crossed for this all to happen soon!

 

[MrsG728]

What year did RH get married to his current wife?

 

[Mandalas]

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

I agree with you; it's crucial to bringing a satisfactory closure to the case.

Suffolk County, New York, authorities on Friday identified a Gilgo Beachmurder victim known as “Fire Island Jane Doe” as Karen Vergata, an escort who went missing on Valentine’s Day in 1996

Suffolk County, New York, authorities are expected to identify a Gilgo Beach murder victim that has gone nameless in the over decade-long case, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

The source said authorities in a press conference Friday morning will name Jane Doe No. 7, whose remains were found in 2011 along a beachfront parkway during the expansive Gilgo Beach investigative search and later linked to remains first found on nearby Fire Island in 1996.

View attachment 438993Karen Vergata, 34 years old, although this must be a much younger pic. Looks like highschool? In the 70s?

Looks like they got her nose pretty well, looking at the recon. It's long and prominent. Her actual nose flares more at the bottom, but that's soft tissue, so a lot of it is guesswork. As for the browline, with that long fringe covering her eyebrows in the school photo, it's impossible to tell how close the artist got. We'd need another photo, but I have a feeling that if they had another of her as an adult they would have used it. Maybe not, though. Her adult photos may be mugshots, and today, it was right to use a photo that humanised, not degraded, her.

MOO

Karen Vergata is going home. My prayers are with her family.

I think we'll find Bittrolff connected to this case. Just a hunch.

 

[fred&edna]

Am I correct in remembering most victims were last seen on/about a holiday (or at least a noted US calendar day)? Labor Day, 4th of July, Valentine's Day, etc??

 

[Jurisprudence]

I didn't expect this. I expected a superseding indictment for the murder of MBB or an identification of another victim but did not think it would be Fire Island Jane Doe from 1997, 27 years ago. This is really good imo. It demonstrates that they are really drilling down on all of the unsolved cases. They are on a mission!

I don't know..

If there was DNA and they did not handle this with the 2 Chiefs who succeeded Burke, that would be extremely disappointing - bc they've had Bittrolff's since 2014
