Eyewitness News got an alert that Suffolk County police were going to release surveillance video of Megan Waterman leaving a hotel in Hauppauge -- the last place she was seen. "As reporters were thinking, again, why do this now?" recalled Kristin Thorne. "They've had this video for so many years -- why now? And they said they want to keep the case going." Then on May 9, 2022, Suffolk County Police released a 22-minute 911 phone call from Shannan Gilbert the night she disappeared in 2010. "The 911 tape was sort of as advertised," said Einiger. "It was Shannan Gilbert sounding terrified running for her life." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Long Island Serial Killings, also known as the Gilgo Beach Murders or the Craigslist Ripper case, is an unsolved serial murder investigation centered around the discovery of numerous human remains on Long Island, New York. The case has been ongoing since 2010 and remains unsolved as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.The initial discovery took place on December 11, 2010, when police were searching for a missing woman named Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had gone to meet a client in Oak Beach, Suffolk County. During the search, police found the remains of four women in the vicinity of Gilgo Beach. These victims were later identified as Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello, all of whom were also involved in sex work.As the investigation progressed, additional remains were discovered in the same area. In March and April 2011, six more sets of remains were found, along with the remains of an unidentified toddler, who came to be known as "Baby Doe" or "Jane Doe #6." The additional victims were identified as Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack, Jane Doe #6 (the toddler), and an Asian male dressed in women's clothing.The police discovered that many of the victims had connections to the sex trade and had advertised their services on websites like Craigslist. This led investigators to suspect that a serial killer, dubbed the "Long Island Serial Killer" or "Craigslist Ripper," was specifically targeting sex workers in the area.The case gained significant media attention and sparked a large-scale investigation involving local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.The search for additional evidence continued over the years, including the use of cadaver dogs, aerial searches, and the excavation of specific areas. Despite these efforts, no further bodies were found.The investigation faced various challenges and controversies. Shannan Gilbert's disappearance and death were initially treated as unrelated to the serial killings. However, her death was later attributed to accidental drowning.The mishandling of the case and the delayed response to her initial 911 call raised questions about the police's handling of the investigation.In September 2017, the Suffolk County Police released new evidence, including photos of a belt that they believed may have belonged to the killer. They also released a recording of an anonymous phone call made by a man claiming to have information about the murders. However, no significant breakthroughs occurred following these releases.Now after more than a decade, a suspect has been arrested.

Michael Wallace has the evening's top headlines from the WCBS 880 newsroom...

A significant search operation is underway in a wooded area off the Long Island Expressway in Manorville as part of the ongoing investigation into the notorious Gilgo Beach murders, according to law enforcement sources. The search began early last week and continued for several days, involving multiple police agencies. The Suffolk County Police, New York Police Department, and New York State Police are collaborating in this extensive search, with assistance from two NYPD Emergency Services Unit K-9s. These efforts focus on an area near exit 70, a region previously linked to parts of this complex case. "The Suffolk County Police Department, the New York Police Department, and the New York State Police are working with the District Attorney's Office on an ongoing investigation," stated the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. "We do not comment on investigative steps while they are underway. We will make further statements when appropriate." This renewed search comes after Rex Heuermann was charged with the murders of four women, whose bodies were discovered near Gilgo Beach more than a decade ago. These women, known as the "Gilgo Four," include Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, and Amber Costello. Despite Heuermann's not guilty plea, the investigation seeks to determine if he can be connected to additional victims found in the area. Manorville has surfaced in discussions about the Gilgo Beach murders before. Notably, it was the site where the remains of Jessica Taylor, a 20-year-old sex worker, were discovered in March 2011, several miles from where the "Gilgo Four" were found. Taylor's other remains had been found in the same area in July 2003. Similarly, the remains of Valerie Mack, a 24-year-old escort, were located about a mile and a half east of Taylor's remains in April 2011, with partial remains also discovered in Manorville back in September 2000. Authorities have hinted at a possible connection between the remains of Taylor and Mack, though no charges have been filed in relation to their deaths. The current search may be an effort to find further evidence that could link these cases or uncover new clues in the chilling series of unsolved crimes. As the community watches closely, law enforcement continues to piece together the fragments of a puzzle that has haunted Long Island for years. The outcome of this search could provide crucial evidence needed to bring further closure to the victims' families and clarity to a case that has gripped the public's imagination with its mysteries and horrors.

Could the sudden resignation of Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison be linked to the deepening mysteries of the Gilgo Beach Murder Case?    The investigation into Rex Heuermann, accused of being the Long Island serial killer, takes an unexpected turn with the abrupt resignation of Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison. His departure, after approximately two years on the job, has raised eyebrows and spurred speculations, especially in light of his active involvement in the case.    In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta, a renowned defense attorney and host of the Defense Diaries podcast, delve into the perplexing development. "Is it odd that as this investigation into Heuermann continues, the commissioner steps down? Are we venturing into Sopranos territory here?" Brueski questioned, highlighting the timing of Harrison's resignation amidst the ongoing investigation.    The case, already shrouded in controversy and dark revelations, grows more intriguing with each revelation. Defense attorney John Ray has linked Heuermann to a series of sex parties and swingers' gatherings, extending back to 1996. These allegations not only put Heuermann in the spotlight but also cast a shadow on his wife, Asa Ellerup. Witnesses have claimed that while Heuermann hosted deviant sexual gatherings in their home, Asa was fully aware, although not directly participating.    Motta commented on the situation, "It's very odd. Just days before resigning, Harrison showed no signs of leaving during a candid interview. His sudden departure, without a convincing explanation, is super suspicious." This unexpected turn has led to rampant speculation about deeper, possibly more sinister connections within the case.    The conversation turned to the reliability of memories, especially those dating back to the mid-90s. "Memories are flawed, but Heuermann's distinct appearance makes him memorable," said Brueski, addressing concerns about the accuracy of witness testimonies. Scott added, "While memory can be fallible, there are things that are pretty accurate. Multiple people coming forward with memories about things that happened with him in the past seems very significant."    Among the numerous allegations, one particular memory stands out – a conversation between a witness and Asa Ellerup. The witness recalls Asa expressing both gratitude and fear towards Rex, painting a complex picture of their relationship. "If this is true, it points to possible abuse and control in the relationship," Motta noted, highlighting the potential implications for Asa's involvement or knowledge of Rex's alleged activities.    The conversation also explored the psychological profile of Rex Heuermann. "How does someone lead a seemingly normal life while harboring such dark secrets?" Brueski pondered. Motta responded, "Humans are bizarre. Heuermann's ability to compartmentalize his life is beyond normal, possibly indicating a deeper psychological issue."    Another critical aspect of the case is the unregistered firearms found in Heuermann's possession. Motta opined, "Heuermann has bigger worries than gun charges. But if Asa is found complicit in any way, she could face serious consequences."    As the investigation unfolds, the question remains: Are we witnessing a mere unraveling of a criminal mind, or are there deeper, more sinister forces at play? With each development, the Gilgo Beach Murder Case continues to captivate and confound, leaving us to wonder, what other secrets lie buried in the sands of Long Island?

In the tangled web of the Long Island serial killer case, the abrupt resignation of Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison has thrown an already complex investigation into further disarray. With allegations mounting against accused killer Rex Heuermann, the timing of Harrison's departure raises questions and speculation.    Speaking on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer shared her insights with host Tony Brueski. Reflecting on the case's history, from the former chief of police's corruption to the stagnant progress in the Lisk murder investigation, Coffindaffer's perspective adds a layer of intrigue to Harrison's recent exit.    "Was Harrison's resignation a strategic retreat from a deeper, darker reality within the department?" Brueski queried, pointing to the bizarre and somewhat disturbing nature of the commissioner's departure. Coffindaffer responded, "It's either a sign of an incredible opportunity awaiting him or, unfortunately, something unsavory brewing that could tarnish the department or affect the ongoing cases."    The discussion pivoted to the press conference held with John Ray, the attorney representing some of the Lisk victims, where Harrison's demeanor appeared unusually aloof. Coffindaffer observed, "His lack of passion and seeming detachment from the conference was a red flag, suggesting he might have already been contemplating his exit."    The conversation then took a speculative turn, with Brueski pondering if Harrison stepped down due to potential dangers linked to the case. "Considering Heuermann's alleged connections to sex parties and law enforcement involvement, could Harrison have found himself too close to a perilous truth?" Brueski questioned, alluding to the ominous undercurrents in the investigation.    Coffindaffer weighed in on the possibility of internal department conflicts influencing Harrison's decision. "Success breeds jealousy and resentment. It's conceivable that Harrison faced internal opposition, prompting his unexpected resignation," she suggested.    The involvement of Rex Heuermann and his wife in swinging clubs, as revealed by new witnesses, adds to the already convoluted nature of the case. The presence of law enforcement officers at these gatherings, as alleged, raises the specter of corruption and cover-ups within the ranks.    Reflecting on the future of the investigation, Coffindaffer expressed hope for clarity. "We eagerly await more details on Harrison's decision. The ultimate resolution of this case hinges on transparency and the pursuit of truth, regardless of where it leads," she stated.    As the case unfolds, the question lingers: What lies beneath the surface of the Long Island serial killer investigation, and how will the departure of a key figure like Rodney Harrison impact its course? The enigma surrounding the Gilgo Beach murders continues to captivate and confound, leaving observers and investigators alike grasping for answers in a sea of uncertainties.

The Long Island Serial Killings, also known as the Gilgo Beach Murders or the Craigslist Ripper case, is an unsolved serial murder investigation centered around the discovery of numerous human remains on Long Island, New York. The case has been ongoing since 2010 and remains unsolved as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.The initial discovery took place on December 11, 2010, when police were searching for a missing woman named Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had gone to meet a client in Oak Beach, Suffolk County. During the search, police found the remains of four women in the vicinity of Gilgo Beach. These victims were later identified as Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello, all of whom were also involved in sex work.As the investigation progressed, additional remains were discovered in the same area. In March and April 2011, six more sets of remains were found, along with the remains of an unidentified toddler, who came to be known as "Baby Doe" or "Jane Doe #6." The additional victims were identified as Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack, Jane Doe #6 (the toddler), and an Asian male dressed in women's clothing.The police discovered that many of the victims had connections to the sex trade and had advertised their services on websites like Craigslist. This led investigators to suspect that a serial killer, dubbed the "Long Island Serial Killer" or "Craigslist Ripper," was specifically targeting sex workers in the area.The case gained significant media attention and sparked a large-scale investigation involving local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.The search for additional evidence continued over the years, including the use of cadaver dogs, aerial searches, and the excavation of specific areas. Despite these efforts, no further bodies were found.The investigation faced various challenges and controversies. Shannan Gilbert's disappearance and death were initially treated as unrelated to the serial killings. However, her death was later attributed to accidental drowning.The mishandling of the case and the delayed response to her initial 911 call raised questions about the police's handling of the investigation.In September 2017, the Suffolk County Police released new evidence, including photos of a belt that they believed may have belonged to the killer. They also released a recording of an anonymous phone call made by a man claiming to have information about the murders. However, no significant breakthroughs occurred following these releases.Now after more than a decade, a suspect has been arrested.

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins host Tony Brueski to discuss the perplexing and deeply concerning case of Rex Heuermann, a suspect linked to a series of killings in Long Island, NY. Heuermann is currently at the center of investigations surrounding the Long Island Serial Killer, a case which the Suffolk County Police and former Chief James Burke have been accused of not investigating adequately, despite having significant information about Heuermann for over a decade.    During their conversation, Brueski and Coffindaffer explore the Suffolk County Police's reluctance to involve the FBI in the investigation, despite the magnitude of the case. Coffindaffer notes that pushing away resources and expertise from the FBI is a red flag, usually indicating a breakdown in the investigative philosophy or personal infighting between local authorities and the FBI. The pair discuss Heuermann's odd behavior, including hiring women who resembled his victims and sharing unsettling tales of bear hunting with his colleagues, which retrospectively seem to be a form of passive-aggressive taunting.    The discussion takes a darker turn as Coffindaffer raises the possibility that the authorities may have only uncovered one of Heuermann's 'mass graves.' Given the difficulty of searching the dense foliage in Long Island and the addictive nature of the alleged killer's behavior, she suggests there may be more undiscovered victims. "Taking alcohol away from an alcoholic that is not recovered yet or any other addiction. It's so difficult, and clearly, he was an addict for this type of behavior. He was a serial killer, allegedly. If, again, these crimes, if he's convicted of these crimes, a person like this, it's just so difficult for them to stop," Coffindaffer concluded.    The episode raises critical questions about the sufficiency of the investigation into the Long Island Serial Killer and casts a shadow of doubt over whether authorities have fully uncovered the extent of Heuermann's alleged crimes. With more people coming forward recounting odd or concerning encounters with Heuermann, it remains to be seen what the full scope of this harrowing case will reveal.    While Rex Heuermann has not been formally charged or convicted, the revelations shared by Brueski and Coffindaffer in this episode of "Hidden Killers" underline the importance of thoroughly investigating all leads in such grave matters, regardless of the challenges presented by interpersonal dynamics or geographical obstacles. The victims and their families deserve nothing less than a comprehensive and exhaustive search for the truth.    If you or someone you know has information related to this case, you are encouraged to contact the Suffolk County Police Department.

In the recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski sat down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to discuss the deeply troubling culture within law enforcement that has allowed serial killers, like the accused Rex Heuermann, to operate freely, exploiting the most vulnerable members of society. The conversation revolved around the involvement of the former Suffolk County Police Chief, James Burke, in the sex industry, and the implications of this involvement for the community and law enforcement culture as a whole.    Scott stressed the detrimental impact on the community when victims of sex workers, already operating in an illegal and therefore precarious environment, don't feel safe coming forward due to the involvement of police officials in exploiting them. “It's really atrocious. I mean, it really is. People like this don't live in a bubble either. There's obviously more Rex Heuermann out there, not just in Long Island but throughout the country,” she said. The atmosphere created by Burke contributed to a wider culture of mistrust and vulnerability, ultimately leading to the tragic deaths of many women who might have otherwise been saved.    She highlighted a particularly shocking incident documented in a Hulu documentary by TMZ, where a witness who knew one of the women very well identified the vehicle she went into, and even recognized Heuermann. Despite reporting it, no one took any action. This case pointed to a larger, systemic issue that needs addressing—a complete cultural shift within law enforcement. "We need to change the people who are in power and revisit how we interact with the more disempowered people in the community and how we keep them safe," Scott noted.    Brueski further questioned the reluctance of local officials to accept help from larger forces like the FBI, despite their offer to provide resources and assistance in investigations. This refusal not only indicated interdepartmental politics and ego clashes but also raised red flags about the intentions of local officials. Scott cited the case of the Golden State Killer in California, where local jurisdictions intentionally chose not to share information with each other, enabling the killer to commit more crimes across different communities. "We need to do a better job, and we certainly need to include the FBI, and everybody needs to get over their egos and work together," Scott insisted.    The discussion highlighted the urgent need for a change in law enforcement culture, including greater transparency, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to protecting the most vulnerable members of society. Only by addressing these deep-rooted issues can we hope to prevent further tragedies and bring justice to the victims of heinous crimes like those committed by Rex Heuermann.

The investigations involving former Suffolk County Chief of Police, James Burke, have taken a labyrinthine turn, unveiling potential cover-ups, discrepancies, and many more layers than initially assumed. As the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, delved deep into this mystery, many questions arose regarding Burke's role and responsibilities during his tenure, especially concerning the Rex Heman case.   Reflecting on the intricacies of this case, Brueski noted, "The layers of the onion continue to peel back." Evidence has emerged from various sources, shedding light on this intricate web. One particularly revealing piece is a documentary released on Hulu by TMZ. This piece included an interview with a friend of one of the victims, who vividly recalled his account to the Suffolk County Police, highlighting the victim's unsettling interaction with Erman. The friend described Erman as an "ogre-like character, overbearing, big", which perfectly matched the description of Heman. Yet, even with such an apparent lead, the authorities overlooked connecting Erman to the case nearly a decade ago.   Brueski raised a critical question that lingers in the minds of many: "Is there ever repercussions for things like that to someone like Burke who clearly was derelict in his job?" Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, acknowledged the severity of the oversight but added, "Just because something's unethical doesn't mean it's illegal."   Dreeke also expressed concerns about potential legal recourse against Burke. Discussing the feasibility of prosecuting someone for neglecting their duty, Dreeke noted the challenges in distinguishing between unethical behavior and illegal activities. He observed, "It'd be really tough to do that." This line of thought emphasizes a recurrent theme - the blurring lines between ethical responsibilities and legal implications in such cases.   But the conversation took a darker turn when speculations arose about the other cases under Burke's purview. Dreeke mused, "What other cases, 100%. Now we know about Herman, there's new command in there that's reevaluating some of these cases." He highlighted the alarming number of bodies discovered on the beach, drawing attention to the fact that Heman was only connected to three or four, hinting at the possibility of more connections.   Drawing a line to Burke's recent arrest, Dreeke emphasized the unsettling nature of the police chief's frequentation of circles that included numerous sex workers. He suggested, "If you are the chief of police, you probably don't necessarily want to go in there and necessarily ruffle any feathers in that community," hinting at the possibility of Burke's involvement being more insidious than mere negligence.   Echoing this sentiment, Brueski concluded, "We might have just scratched the tip of that iceberg." The questions now arise - what did the Chief of Police know? When did he know it? And who else was involved?   As more details emerge, it becomes increasingly clear that all cases overseen by Burke during his tenure need thorough reexamination. The layers of this case might be peeling back, but as the podcast suggests, the heart of this mystery might be deeper and darker than anyone could have imagined.

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, a shocking revelation has come to light concerning the investigation into suspected serial killer, Rex Heman. The discourse took a twist when the discussion pivoted to the arrest of former Chief of Police in Suffolk County, James Burke, apprehended for soliciting a sex worker in a park.    Burke's arrest raises serious questions given his tenure at the helm of the Suffolk County Police during the years Heman is believed to have been most active. Host Tony Brueski, who interviewed retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, raised concerns about the potential influence or involvement of Burke and possibly other high-ranking officials in the very community being scrutinized. Brueski commented, "Nobody's looking at these things because maybe the police chief doesn't want any microscopes looking at him as well."   Dreeke shared his astonishment at the news, remarking, "Shocking and sad. Isn't it? When I read this, I was shocked and appalled like everyone else was."    A significant portion of the discussion centered around the puzzling fact that Burke actively blocked external agencies, including the FBI, from being involved in the case. Addressing the general misconception that the FBI usually overrides local authorities, Dreeke clarified that this rarely happens. He explained, "It depends on the statute, depends on whether it's a federal statute you're prosecuting or local. And this is a local case."    The crux of the matter lies in the relationship between the local police chiefs and the head of the FBI office. In ideal circumstances, both parties collaborate and pool their resources to further an investigation. Dreeke outlined this, stating, "Both parties go to each other and say, 'Hey, what can I do to assist you?'"    The Suffolk case, however, deviated from this norm. When the FBI offered its extensive resources to aid the investigation, including profilers, interviewers, and forensics, they were denied involvement. "Is that a red flag when the FBI is turned away from a local jurisdiction?" asked Brueski.    Dreeke then shed light on the underlying factors often influencing such decisions. The root of these obstructions often boils down to ego clashes, personality conflicts, and sometimes, unfortunately, individuals prioritizing their careers over the mission. "If you have a case agent or an investigator that is 100% about the mission and willing to sacrifice their career, maybe their reputation to battle their executive management to get things moving because they think something's wrong...you might be able to make a difference," Dreeke shared.    However, the contrary also holds. When individuals are career-oriented, often reluctant to ruffle feathers, investigations like that of Rex Heman suffer. For Dreeke, cases are as much about managing relationships and navigating egos as they are about pursuing the truth. He lamented, "Egos and vanity get involved in these things, unfortunately, and this is one of those cases where it totally undermined the investigation."    In light of these revelations, the case of Rex Heman and the involvement (or lack thereof) of multiple agencies will likely remain under public and media scrutiny. The arrest of James Burke further adds layers of complexity, demanding a comprehensive re-evaluation of the events and decisions that have shaped the investigation thus far.

Hour 3: Were the Mets really in talks with the Brewers on a Pete Alonso trade? How close did it really get? It depends on what source you listen to. C-Lo returns for an update and has some clarification on Evan's illness. He has a combo of strep throat and something else. Chris Russo had trouble signing up for Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Gio does an impression of Mad Dog trying to watch porn. And we get another update from Marc ‘Moose' Malusis on his final day from Florida, live from the airport. In the final segment of the hour, the former Suffolk County Police Chief was arrested for soliciting sex in a Long Island park.

With the arrest of Rex Heuermann, attention has been focused on why law enforcement officials didn't make an arrest earlier. Suffolk County Police were in possession of information for nearly a decade that would help identify Heuermann, but a number of officials within the department refused to facilitate the use of the leads, both internally and by the FBI. Author Gus Garcia-Roberts, author of "Jimmy The King", a book about former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, speaks with host, Chris Mass, about how members of SCPD and the District Attorney's Office ultimately hindered the investigation.

On December 9th, 2015, the former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke is arrested for assaulting Chris Loeb three years earlier. Back in December 2012, Chris stole several items from Burke's police vehicle, including a black duffel bag with an alleged homemade snuff film inside of it. Concerned that Chris would reveal the contents of his duffel bag, Burke struck Chris repeatedly and threatened to kill him. In November 2016, Burke is sentenced to 46 months in prison for his crimes. But, during the investigation of Burke, more of his corruption was revealed. From January 2012 to October 2015, Burke single-handedly slowed the progress of the Long Island Serial Killer case. He shut out the FBI, forced out detectives on the case, and stopped the searches for more victims. In episode 250, Jac and Alexis delve into how Burke could be responsible for allowing the Long Island Serial Killer to get away with multiple murders.
