I watched a few shows about the victims and their families. The young call girl who called 911 was running from somebody. I think people thought a retired doctor was the main suspect in her murder. I don't think it's the same guy they just arrested. What makes a person such a monster? Could it be that terrible wig he has on his mellon?

iirc, many of the bodies were found AFTER the one girl freaked out and ran, causing a missing persons search.

Flat, but brushy marsh areas were no one really went, and thick cover.

Hope they found the right perp - this one’s been a long time coming.

Dr. Baden was being interviewed on Fox this morning. He did an autopsy on the first young victim.

The chiron at the bottom of the screen read;

“BIDEN DID AN AUTOPSY ON SHANNON GILBERT”!!!!!!!!

It was corrected quickly!!!!

I grew up on Long Island. Where the bodies were dumped is a desolate stretch on Ocean Parkway. It is on a barrier island separate from the mainland. My dad would occasionally drive Ocean Parkway coming home from visiting an aunt and my mom never liked going that way. She always thought it creepy. It’s not a place you would want to break down. Perfect place for dumping.

Billy Baldwin went to high school with him.

Unfortunately, the killer wasn't actually one of the Baldwins.

This makes me wonder about George Costanza (and Jason Alexander).

Lol. Yes you are missing something. It’s not on Long Island, it’s on the island next to Long Island with Gilgo beach on it.It’s located on a barrier beach on the south shore of Long Island, with Atlantic Ocean and Great South Bay frontage.

Evidence:
DNA from hair on victim Megan Waterman matched that of his, taken by
investigators from a discarded pizza crust in January,

Cellphone bills linked to Heuermann revealed that he used a burner phone
to meet up with three of the four victims,

A burner phone allegedly used by Heuermann placed a menacing call to victim
Melissa Barthelemy’s relative after her death,

Heuermann’s wife was traveling out of state during the murders of Barthelemy,
Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello,

Records obtained from Tinder revealed the burner phone was linked to a
fictitious account for “Andrew Roberts” using an email that Heuermann also
accessed from his personal cellphone.

April 21, 2011...Only 4 of the 10 bodies have been identified...

NY Times interviews developed a profile:

He is most likely a white male in his mid-20s to mid-40s. He is married or has
a girlfriend. He is well educated and well spoken. He is financially secure, has
a job and owns an expensive car or truck. He may have sought treatment at a
hospital for poison ivy infection. As part of his job or interests, he has access
to, or a stockpile of, burlap sacks.

And he lives or used to live on or near Ocean Parkway on the South Shore of
Long Island, where the police have found as many as 10 sets of human
remains.

It may be the time his wife or kids or parents are away for the summer.

The dumping ground was poison-ivy-covered sand dunes. The architect's wife was out of the country.

Curious if this will be one of those cold cases solved with genealogical dna.

Yes...male hairs from a burlap bag one of the victims was in matched DNA on a pizza box and crust they found near his Manhattan apartment. it's amazing what DNA can tell us.

I just watched Lost Girls, it’s only on Netflix. I have not seen Long Island Serial Killer, which is on Lifetime.

Alec Baldwin grew up right next door in a small unincorporated area of East Massapequa.

This story was of national interest because the woman whose disappearance triggered the search that found the first bodies was from Maine. The local articles here in Maine about her always tried to portray her as not a professional sex worker, but some trained by her boyfriend.
