Authorities say he killed at least three of the 11 people whose homicides in the area have baffled investigators for more than a dozen years.
NEW YORK — The trail had gone cold as clues suddenly dwindled. For a time, doubts swirled about whether a killer who dumped the remains of his female victims along remote stretches of coastline on New York’s Long Island would ever be caught.
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.
“I’d like him to suffer at the hands of other inmates,” the victim’s mother, Lynn Barthelemy, told NBC News.But she also expressed relief that a suspect was finally in custody. Outside the courthouse where Heuermann was arraigned Friday, her cousin Jasmine Robinson remarked that “full justice” will be achieved only when all the cases are solved.
The family tried to report her as missing, but police convinced them that she probably ran off and didn’t want to be found.
