New York Serial Killer Could Be Versed in Poilce Techniques

The police found a skull as well as a bag containing what one law enforcement official said appeared to be “upper and lower extremities.” They were found two or three miles apart; the authorities said they had not determined if the remains came from more than one victim.
Both finds were made off the northern edge of Ocean Parkway, as were the discoveries of the eight bodies in Suffolk County. The first four of those bodies were found near Gilgo Beach in December; the authorities said they were of female prostitutes in their 20s who had been missing since as long ago as 2007.

that is scary.also a lot of the murdered are prostitutes, so the murderer has plenty of time to get away because sadly most of the time no one is going to miss a prostitute or report her missing.
russia had that belief but it cost them dearly.50 people murdered by one guy and they refused to believe a serial killer did it.
as told in the brilliant movie

Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo (Russian: Андрей Романович Чикатило, Ukrainian: Андрій Романович Чикатило, Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo; October 16, 1936 – February 14, 1994) was a Ukrainian-born Soviet serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov, The Red Ripper or The Rostov Ripper who committed the murders of a minimum of 52 women and children between 1978 and 1990. He was convicted of 52 murders in October 1992 (although he did confess to a total of 56 murders and was tried for 53 of these killings) and was subsequently executed for the murders for which he was convicted in February, 1994.

New York: Long Island murders work of four killers, detectives say

Bodies found on Gilgo beach indicate secluded shoreline has been used as a dumping ground for human remains.

Detectives investigating the discovery of eight bodies along a beach on Long Island are working on the presumption that as many as four separate killers may have been involved.

The Suffolk County district attorney, Thomas Spota, revealed that the eight deaths appeared to divide into four seemingly unrelated groups. His disclosure raises the bewildering prospect that a stretch of secluded shoreline used by 6 million beachgoers each summer has been used as a dumping ground for human remains.

Spota said many of the victims had yet to be identified and the precise nature of their killing was not yet known. "But what we do know for certain and what is now very clear is that the area in and around Gilgo beach has been used to discard human remains for some period of time," he said. "As distasteful and disturbing as that is, there is no evidence that all these remains are those of a single killer."

The investigation has involved hundreds of officers from Long Island and New York. Four bodies found in December wrapped in hessian were those of women in their 20s who had worked as prostitutes and picked up clients through Craigslist. Police are convinced that all four were the victims of a serial killer, but can find no evidence that the murders were related in any way to the other cases.

The other four bodies or parts of bodies were discovered about a mile away last month. Police believe these fall under three separate groups.

Two of the four remains were the head and hands of women. One of the victims has been identified as Jessica Taylor, 20, who worked as prostitute in Washington and New York; the other is being referred to as Jane Doe no 6. Detectives have matched the parts to torsos found in 2000 and 2003 respectively in Manorville, about 45 miles east of Gilgo beach.

The nature of their dismemberment, and the proximity of the remains in two locations, suggests to police that these killings were related. They have reopened two other cold cases, dating from 1997 and 2007, in which a similar form of dismemberment took place, on the assumption that another serial killer might have been at work.

The third, potentially separate discovery was of an Asian man, referred to as John Doe no 8, who met a "violent" death. His body was found close to that of the dismembered women, but there is no evidence to connect them.

The fourth body was of a toddler, aged between 18 and 24 months, probably a girl, wrapped in a blanket. The body displayed no signs of trauma and police have not yet declared it a murder case.

Detectives have been struck by the difference in technique of the disposal of the child and the dismembered women.

"It does not make sense to us that the person would go to such great lengths to prevent Jane Doe no 6 from being identified, then lay the body of a related toddler so close by. There is no evidence at all of any attempt to conceal the identity of the child," Spota said.

Joseph Pollini, a criminologist at John Jay College in New York and a former New York homicide detective, said the possibility that the shoreline had been used as a dumping ground for human remains would fit the secluded nature of the area.

"This is the optimal place to dump a body," he said. "There are no cameras or surveillance of any kind and you can see people coming in either direction along the long straight road."

Two NYPD cops are being eyed in the Long Island serial slayings after investigators learned they got into trouble for hiring prostitutes while working for the department, according to sources familiar with the probe.


One cop was forced out of the job in the 1990s when his supervisors learned he spent time pursuing hookers and paying street walkers and down-and-out women for sex while he was supposed to be on patrol.
An internal investigation led to his resigning under pressure, one source said.
The other officer still works for the NYPD but was stripped of his gun and badge years ago because he allegedly assaulted a prostitute and got arrested during a sting operation.
