New York: Long Island murders work of four killers, detectives say

Source: The Guardian

Detectives investigating the discovery of eight bodies along a beach on Long Island are working on the presumption that as many as four separate killers may have been involved.

The Suffolk County district attorney, Thomas Spota, revealed that the eight deaths appeared to divide into four seemingly unrelated groups. His disclosure raises the bewildering prospect that a stretch of secluded shoreline used by 6 million beachgoers each summer has been used as a dumping ground for human remains.

Spota said many of the victims had yet to be identified and the precise nature of their killing was not yet known. "But what we do know for certain and what is now very clear is that the area in and around Gilgo beach has been used to discard human remains for some period of time," he said. "As distasteful and disturbing as that is, there is no evidence that all these remains are those of a single killer."

The investigation has involved hundreds of officers from Long Island and New York. Four bodies found in December wrapped in hessian were those of women in their 20s who had worked as prostitutes and picked up clients through Craigslist. Police are convinced that all four were the victims of a serial killer, but can find no evidence that the murders were related in any way to the other cases.

I have to find a new place.

one asian man, and one toddler.

That sounds more like 3 different killers, not 4. Unless there are 2 separate prositute-murderers who both dump the bodies in the same location.
