People Magazine wrote an article about it. The Long Island Serial Killer has a Wikipedia page.
As of this article's publication:
"The married father of two is also the prime suspect in the slaying of a fourth victim, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25. The petite women were all sex workers who advertised on Craigslist.

Their bound bodies were discovered within two days of each other in 2010 on a stretch of New York's Gilgo Beach, but it would take investigators more than 12 years to find their alleged killer."
But within the last couple of days, this family man and architect who lived in a nice neighborhood is now considered a suspect in more unsolved murders, including those in Atlantic City, N.J., Las Vegas, each of which he owns property and S.C., that has unsolved murders of sex workers. People who knew him described him as creepy and dark. One neighbor said he always tried to avoid him.

It has been proven, mainly by the FBI that serial killers have killed way more than they have been accused of killing. I often refer to Rodney Acala, who had been linked to 8 murders, yet is “suspected” of killing over 100 females. Rodney was the man who was the winner on the TV Show, “The Dating Game” to refresh your memory back in the late 1970’s.

Before my career ended, I was assigned to the case of an unnamed (was never given a nickname like “The Green-Eyed Killer”) serial killer that had killed 3 young people. Harvey Robinson was a suspect almost right after he killed a 15 year old female newspaper carrier. He then killed a 47 year old Grandmother. After that, he attempted to kill a 5 y/o, but he had killed prior to the first person he was charged with.

He was later sentenced to death, but court battles lowered a few of his sentences to life, except one death sentence is still in place, or at least, I have not received any word that the sentence was commuted. Any time a sentence or any action is taken on a case that I have had a hand in would be worked, I would be advised.

When I interviewed him, we had been talking for maybe 4 hours or more. He asked if he could have a bottle of soda and a cigarette break. We don’t give bottles of soda, but I did get him a can of soda and allowed him to step outside and smoke a few cigarettes. We allow them these small perks as long as they keep talking. During the conversation, I asked him how many people do you think you killed. He asked me is this on or off the record? I told him it was just the 2 of us having a conversation, but in reality, anything he says can be used in court to convict. He told me probably at least 15, which kind of surprised me because I was thinking of a higher number.

BTW, he was a hard arrest. We had a bit of a minor shootout, but after 3 more Troopers arrived, he quickly gave up. I had a great head shot with my old (back then) 30.06 rifle that I was just ready to squeeze off, but then, he threw down his weapon and surrendered. I was glad he gave up. No one wants to have to take a person’s life.

On the other side of the coin..........Some so called "serial killers " will CLAIM dozens of kills, for the notoriety of it. A couple of them in Texas come to mind. When the investigators started tracking down his "claims " it was obvious that he was lying about many of them. One of the things that helps some serials to get away with their kills is the Inter State Highway system, which allows them to cover great distances in just a few days of driving. A long distance owner/operator truck driver has a pretty good cover for killing and leaving the area, quickly. JimB.
 
Several serial killers have had a truck driving background in their past. I studied the habits of Richard Ramirez, better known as “The Night Stalker” and his number of killings cannot be confirmed, although he is tied to at least 15 dead bodies.

An author, Ginger Strand, wrote in one of her books that although she cannot confirm an exact number of truck drivers that have become or were serial killers, she has been able to count at least 25 truck drivers as being former serial killers.
 
I've followed this LISK case pretty closely. I'm just making a post as found a thread on it and so I can hit the "watch" button.

Not sure how many here follow crime but it is a hobby of mine with a few cases anyhow. I am no expert on the case, but know a fair amount and know YT channels, etc. that cover it and any updates on it.

without a doubt. no DP there so LWOP hopefully times seven is probably the best they can do. maybe he traded a guilty plea for butter is what many are thinking/joking about lol. he whined to that other serial killer about no real butter in jail in a letter. but was told in prison they have real butter. i know the serial killer, the other one, but can't think of his name right now...

Oh I thought of it, well at least the nickname. The Smiley Face Killer wrote him and he wrote back. If my memory serves, Rex asked him if they had real butter in prison as he misses real butter and the jail does not have it. Poor guy. :rolleyes:

I follow a bit of crime on Youtube. Some cases anyhow.

Also, Smiley's daughter and the daughter of Dennis Rader, another serial killer, reached out to wife and daughter of Rex when he was arrested. Serial killers connecting... Scary imo... And their families.

Anyhow, there is no death penalty on him in NY and I don't think they'd deal with him from LWOP, so does he just want to plead guilty to avoid trial or what could they give him? So many are saying butter maybe... Kind of kidding but...

I think he's probably responsible for a lot more murders than he's been charged with so far...

I follow travel, cooking/food, gardening and a bit of crime. I'm new.
