thanks for the insight, whew, I thought I was going crazy! There is something being missed, there is a connection. Think I read somewhere here that possibly legs found at Fire Island or other body parts matched DNA to a skull at Gilgo/Oak beach? Again, yes, I know about currents, but this just seems pretty condusive to being connected. Yes, I wish there was a timeline of Bittrolffs movements also. He doesen't seem like the type that would call a girl over and over though. It does seem like he could of set things up though through craigslist and got in touch with some of the girls, maybe even wooing Melissa with an overnight date for 1,000 and that he checked out as a safe client. Of couse he would of known they would not be alive to report him. Its not out of reach to think he may of had a partner. I don't know much about his brother either.
