Families of several women who were slain and dumped along the coastline of New York's Long Island are trying to find closure after the capture of a man who authorities say is responsible
FILE - Law enforcement and emergency personnel examine an object on the side of the road, center, near Jones Beach on April 11, 2011, in Wantagh, N.Y. A Long Island architect has been charged, Friday, July 14, 2023, with murder in the deaths of three of the 11 victims in a long-unsolved string of killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders. NEW YORK — — The trail had gone cold as clues suddenly dwindled.
The yearslong ordeal was especially unnerving for Brotz and her family because prosecutors say the suspect used Barthelemy's cellphone to torment her relatives with calls soon after her disappearance, including one in which he said he’d killed her. Barthelemy, who grew up in Buffalo, New York, was found on December 11, 2010, more than a year after she went missing. Two days later, the bodies of three other young women were found nearby.
A key question lingers, however: Why did it take so long? That was a question the suspect apparently had too, when prosecutors say he went online to ask, “Why hasn’t the long island serial killer been caught." Robinson also said that she hoped Taylor would be “remembered as a beautiful young woman, not what her occupation was at that time."
“As far as we knew, she was still missing,” said her sister Danielle Mack. “We knew that something was wrong because ... we just don’t believe she would have never come back after 20 years.”“It's a lot to process,” she said, adding that she doesn't know what to make of the fact that Heuermann wasn't charged in Valerie's death.
