Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Suspect’s Sole Jail Inquiry

The Gilgo ⁢Beach Serial‍ Killer: ‌Arrest‌ and Investigation

The suspected Gilgo⁢ Beach‍ serial killer,​ who‌ was arrested⁣ last ‍week after‍ more ⁤than a‌ decade since​ the bodies‍ of 11 women​ were found ⁢on Long ⁣Island, asked⁣ his ⁢jailers just ‍one question.

“Is it​ in⁣ the news?”

The suspect’s curiosity ‌about​ media coverage ‍was‌ revealed during⁣ his processing, according to the‍ New ‌York⁢ Post.

The 59-year-old New ⁢York ‌City⁣ architect is suspected of killing at least four women, known as ⁣the “Gilgo Four,” ‌who‌ were⁣ found wrapped‌ in ⁤burlap‌ near​ each other⁢ in‍ late ⁣2010. He‍ is not currently suspected⁣ of​ killing‌ six additional‌ people⁤ found ⁣in the area.

The Daily Wire‍ is‌ not naming the suspect ⁣in keeping ⁤with ​a ​company policy that ⁣seeks to ⁢deprive ⁢mass ⁢killers ‍of ​the‌ notoriety ‍they often ​crave.

Investigation ⁢and Identification

At a press briefing on Monday,‌ State‌ Police ⁤Major ‌Stephen Udice ⁣revealed that a‌ cold‍ case⁢ detective assigned to the ⁣Gilgo Beach‌ murders identified the ‍suspect as a‍ potential ⁢culprit‌ within ​a ​month of ⁣taking ⁤the​ case.

“This was the first​ time that [the ‍suspect’s] ‌name ⁣had come⁣ up ⁢and the first time that‌ he had been⁤ identified⁣ as‍ a potential⁤ suspect,”​ Udice said.‌ “At⁢ that time,‌ the‍ task​ force ⁣worked‍ as‌ a team ⁢to move forward⁢ with that‌ information, and the​ investigation ‍ultimately confirmed⁢ that‍ [the⁣ suspect] was in‌ fact ⁤the ⁤individual responsible​ for⁢ at minimum ⁢the deaths of three ‌women.”

The​ search ⁣for⁢ the​ killer​ began⁣ anew in ⁤January‌ 2022, when New York ⁤Police Department ⁢Chief ‌Rodney Harrison⁣ became the⁤ Suffolk County police commissioner. ​A task force⁢ was ​launched,⁢ and a⁢ senior investigator was assigned to focus solely on solving⁣ the ⁣murders.

The task⁢ force‌ successfully ⁣identified the suspect,⁢ who is the owner‍ and ⁣founder ‍of⁤ RH⁣ Consultants ⁢and Associates, ⁤an​ architecture firm⁢ in Midtown⁣ Manhattan.⁢ Their ⁢website⁤ boasts⁣ prestigious clients⁣ such ⁤as American​ Airlines ‍and the​ NYC-DEP‌ Sewerage Treatment.

Last ‍year, the suspect gave​ an⁤ interview to the YouTube channel Bonjour ‌Reality,‌ where​ he ‌mentioned⁤ being​ “born and raised⁢ on‌ Long ⁤Island” ⁤but working⁢ in‌ Manhattan ​since ⁣1987.

The Disappearance ⁢of Shannan‌ Gilbert

The ​four bodies ⁣currently connected ⁣to the ‍suspect⁢ were found​ after Shannan Gilbert, an escort who ⁣operated ⁢using Craigslist,​ went ‍missing​ one ⁣night ⁤in Oak Beach⁢ on Long⁢ Island.

Gilbert was ‍last⁣ seen ​leaving the area on ​foot in ‌distress⁢ that night in ​2010, although Suffolk‌ County​ Police ⁤say ⁢she had⁢ a driver waiting to ⁢take her‍ home. The driver received a call from Gilbert’s‍ client, who⁤ reported‌ that ⁤she had started acting‌ irrationally and demanded ​she⁢ leave,​ as‌ reported by Fox ⁤News.

“After ⁢refusing to⁣ leave ​the ​location ⁢at ​the ⁣request of her client, Gilbert ⁢eventually fled⁣ on ‌foot into​ the ⁣Oak ⁣Beach ‌community,” ⁤police‍ said.⁢ “She knocked⁣ on several doors before ‌disappearing.”

Gilbert’s⁣ disappearance​ led police to search ⁢along‍ Ocean ⁣Parkway, where ⁤they‍ discovered four women’s bodies ⁣over ​the‍ course ​of several days. The‍ first body found was Melissa Barthelemy. One year later, on⁢ December 11, 2011, police ‌found Gilbert’s‌ purse⁣ and cellphone a quarter-mile‌ away from ‌Barthelemy’s⁢ body. Two ⁣days later, Gilbert’s body ⁣was found in ‌roughly the ​same area as ⁢the serial ​killer’s victims.

As ‍of now, the suspect‌ has​ not been connected to Gilbert’s death.
