Kathleen was the #cclivechat guest host for this week with Joe Giacalone since your truly was detained. Her recap is here. The verbatim thread is below.
Kathleen started a discussion regarding the recent discovery of a 5th body on Gilgo Beach. When a K-9 officer searched Gilgo Beach in December for missing person Shannan Gilbert, he found remains — and additional searching turned up three more bodies — but none turned out to be Shannan. The latest body was located about a mile away. The police will now expand the search to reach approximately 7.5 miles. The fifth body has also turned out not to be Shannan. This piece of information was revealed to us during the tweet chat from @ColdCaseSquad.
The Long Island serial killer (also referred to as LISK, the Gilgo Beach Killer or the Craigslist Ripper) is an unidentified suspected serial killer who is believed to have murdered 10-16 people working in prostitution, over a period of nearly 20 years, and dumped their bodies along the Ocean Parkway, near the remote Long Island, New York beach towns of Gilgo and Oak Beach in Suffolk County, and the area of Jones Beach State Park in Nassau County. The remains of four victims were found in December 2010, while six more sets of remains were found in March and April 2011. Police believe the latest sets of remains predate the four bodies found in December 2010.
On May 9, 2011, authorities surmised that two of the newest sets of remains might be the work of a second killer. On November 29, 2011, however, the police announced their belief that one person is responsible for all 10 deaths, and that they did not believe the case of Shannan Gilbert, an escort who went missing before the first set of bodies were found, was related. “It is clear that the area in and around Gilgo Beach has been used to discard human remains for some period of time,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.
See you for the next Cold Case Live Chat April 8, noon-1pm EST!
Cheers!

| TrickyCase | Hello everyone... I promised I'd be here, but only for half hour sorry 🙁 #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:01:44 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | Good afternoon live chat folks! @ColdCaseSquad are you here? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:02:09 +0000 |
| katcop13 | We've got an extremely #coldcase here on LI. A 5th body has turned up on Gilgo Beach: http://j.mp/h5mUC6 #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:02:42 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | Hello to all! #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:02:59 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Hi @LilacLounge & @bluedog89 ~ welcome. @ColdCaseSquad couldn't join us today. I'm pinch-hitting. #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:03:27 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @oceanbluepress Maybe you could ask @TrickyCase some of your f'print questions from last week #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:04:02 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @katcop13 I read about the LI Gilgo Beach case. But the remains don't match the missing persons case, correct? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:04:12 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | I was asked 2 participate 2 give fingerprint perspective. I have read details on the Heath case and have opinions but ask away #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:05:05 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @bluedog89 The remains are too new ~ they don't know yet. It MAY be the remains of Shannan Gilbert, but 2 soon 2 tell. #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:05:15 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @LilacLounge @TrickyCase can you get fingerprints from bldg materials? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:05:37 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Welcome, @TrickyCase ~ thanks for participating ~ we appreciate it! #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:06:14 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | building materials would be too course, but there is a chance that a finger/palmprint could be left in wet cement #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:06:34 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @katcop13 @bluedog89 just googled gilgo beach map - were they all found in same area? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:06:47 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | i meant coarse #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:07:07 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @TrickyCase but of course! 😉 #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:07:31 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase Are there any specialist techniques that might work on, say smooth brick, or would that be too coarse also? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:08:32 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @oceanbluepress @katcop13 I'll defer to kat here, but I thought they were found in the same vicinity. (?) #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:08:34 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @oceanbluepress the 1st four were closer together; this 1 was about a mile away. They r expanding to 7.5 mile search #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:08:34 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | re Gilgo - were they found near where ppl surf? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:08:39 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | 🙂 If there was a lot of blood, then the perp could have left a visible fingerprint in the blood.. very conclusive evidence #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:09:11 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Bodies were found in thick brush. They want to search B4 growth comes back in Spring #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:09:26 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Got a question 4 a fingerprint expert? Join the #coldcase chat & ask @TrickyCase #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:10:31 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | RT @katcop13: Got a question 4 a fingerprint expert? Join the #coldcase chat & ask @TrickyCase #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:11:06 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @katcop13 dumped or buried? how far away from roadway? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:11:22 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @LilacLounge #cclivechat the brickwork would need to be very smooth for any powder to adhere and could try superglue treatment #longshot | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:11:30 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @oceanbluepress not sure if you covered this last week, but were there any identifying marks on bldg materials from seller? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:11:56 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase Yes, fingerprint and DNA in combination would be extremely strong evidence. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:12:20 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | #cclivechat Best opportunity for fingerprints in Heath case would be the garbage bags | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:12:22 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @TrickyCase what about drywall materials? go on wet/moist #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:12:42 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @bluedog89 good question, does anybody have any ideas? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:13:54 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase I've been reading a little about heavy metal deposition (I think) techniques on fabric. Useful on other surfaces? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:14:19 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @oceanbluepress the bodies were in shallow graves, if at all, not 2 far from road. It is believed they were killed elsewhere. #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:14:20 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @katcop13 do you think one person involved or could be more? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:15:04 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @katcop13 @oceanbluepress Were these women involved w/Craigs List prior to their disappearances? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:15:48 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @oceanbluepress IMHO, one... #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:15:56 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @katcop13 where could someone have bought the burlap? garden centre? mfg? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:16:55 +0000 |
| katcop13 | The victims had all advertised on Craigslist. The MP banged on doors on Gilgo Bch 4 help; 911 was called, but she disappeared #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:17:18 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @bluedog89 #cclivechat I would call in our specialist lab staff for Drywall... its porus so Ninhydrin would be preferred technique | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:17:18 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @oceanbluepress IMHO, they should NEVER have released the BURLAP clue. This time, they are withholding info on burlap yes/no #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:18:30 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @LilacLounge Metal Dep is still being researched in Scotland for fabric... its used by police mainly for polythene bags #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:18:39 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @oceanbluepress @katcop13 Burlap can be purchased at feed stores, fabric stores (make your own), Amazon, etc. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:19:08 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase just looked up the article. I meant vacuum metal deposition... #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:19:29 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @LilacLounge #cclivechat cont... its an expensive technique that has been its usefulness downgraded by HOSDB (now CAST) | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:19:42 +0000 |

| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase Yep, it was a write up of the Scottish work I read. Interesting stuff. Surprised how clear whole hand prints were. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:21:16 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @TrickyCase @LilacLounge can you get fingerprints off skin? re beach murders #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:21:35 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad hello! #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:21:52 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase I know, but I like to be precise, especially if it's not my field I'm discussing 😉 #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:21:58 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Hey @ColdCaseSquad ~ glad to see you could make it ~ thrilled to have u here. #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:22:02 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | The remains of the 5th person found on #Gilgo is not the woman police were expecting to find #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:22:48 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | The remains of the 5th person found on #Gilgo is not the woman police were expecting to find #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:22:49 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @ColdCaseSquad Welcome Joe 🙂 @katcop13's been doing a great job! #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:23:01 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @bluedog89 @katcop13 I can't see some guy stitching up a burlap sack - prob came from warehouse? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:23:03 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @oceanbluepress unlikely.. skins needs to by smooth and research suggests murder would need to be < 1 hours for success #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:23:27 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Thanks 4 RTs @DiscoveryID @NancyJParra @LilacLounge #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:23:38 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @ColdCaseSquad We've been discussing this case in your absence. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:24:15 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @TrickyCase #cclivechat There are a small number of successful cases involving fingerprints in skin. Most famous.. Spa Murders in Florida | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:24:20 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Wow ~ the straight dope from @ColdCaseSquad ~ that's hot off the presses! And thx, @LilacLounge, 4 your kind words 🙂 #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:24:36 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | There is at least one more additional victim on #Gilgo how many are there? Good time now for ViCAP & the #FBI #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:24:40 +0000 |
| nancyjparra | @katcop13 you're welcome. It's a great opportunity - #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:25:04 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @TrickyCase interesting stuff #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:25:14 +0000 |
| katcop13 | I know that Shannan had back surgery & something about a piece of steel, so they probably eliminated her quickly as the vic #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:25:45 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad just wondering what time of year do they think bodies were dumped? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:26:00 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase What technique is best used to detect fingerprints on skin? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:26:03 +0000 |
| katcop13 | It's amazing that the search for MP Shannan Gilbert led to the discovery of FIVE bodies ~ and none have been her 🙁 #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:26:44 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @oceanbluepress Hard to say; the earliest body to go missing was 2007 #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:27:35 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | #cclivechat @LilacLounge Orchid Cellmark have done most recent research, which I think suggested sweat transfer using tape then powder | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:27:37 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | @Trickycase is #DNA from fingerprints accepted in courts yet as a means of ID? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:27:50 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @TrickyCase So presumably, as I think you hinted at previously, that evidence would degrade with time. How long, hours? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:29:05 +0000 |
| katcop13 | I know u may have to run soon, so I wanted to thank you @TrickyCase 4 joining our live #coldcase chat & hope to see u again here #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:29:08 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | @oceanbluepress #police are not releasing cause of death or condition the bodies were found in #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:29:12 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @ColdCaseSquad #cclivechat To my knowledge there have been no instances.. but it is generally accepted its possible | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:29:33 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @ColdCaseSquad @Trickycase In the UK, yes. It would likely be a sensitive technique like LCN for DNA from fingerprints. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:30:19 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad is this near where ppl go surfing or where would someone be en route to? *googling #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:30:51 +0000 |
| TrickyCase | @LilacLounge #cclivechat the research stated it was dependent on temp of the cadaver and crime scene. ... but best result would be an hour | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:31:17 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Half-hour left to go ~ join us live to discuss #coldcases ~ we've got the C.O. of a Cold Case Squad here #writing #police #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:31:35 +0000 |

| katcop13 | Thanks, @TrickyCase ~ understandable! It's been a pleasure to have u here. We're very grateful 🙂 #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:33:01 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @ColdCaseSquad @Trickycase to ID, you'd have to match the print, then DNA test. But some f'print techniques damage DNA... #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:33:02 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @TrickyCase thanks from me too #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:33:20 +0000 |

| oceanbluepress | @LilacLounge what info could one get from fabric? eg burlap? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:39:58 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @ColdCaseSquad Thanks! Glad to be here with so many fine folks. We miss your usual co-host, @Vidocq_CC ~ who was unavail 2day #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:40:12 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @katcop13 Yes, I've been having a read of that. Fascinated by crytptography. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:40:32 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @bluedog89 It's fascinating, & I bet someone will crack it, after the FBI hung onto it for years... #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:41:25 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @bluedog89 thanks #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:41:37 +0000 |

| LilacLounge | @oceanbluepress Well from what @TrickyCase was saying earlier, vacuum metal deposition can be used for f'prints on fabric... #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:43:06 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @katcop13 Kinda creepy like the Zodiac Killer's cyphers. :/ #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:44:09 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @oceanbluepress but fabric could also be tested for body fluids & possibly DNA tested, or searched for hairs & fibres. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:44:11 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @katcop13 @bluedog89 I'm sure someone will know #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:44:12 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | Yes @Vidocq_CC is missed but the #cclivechat goes on because people still care about others | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:46:08 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @LilacLounge interesting to know! #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:47:05 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad we care #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:47:40 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Q for @ColdCaseSquad: Do u know if DNA can be extracted if someone took a sip from a beer or wine bottle? #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:48:10 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad what about those surfer cams? or road cams? is it possible to get info from that? #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:48:44 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @bluedog89 I'm sure that the exposure from social media might very well crack that code ~ someone will figure it out, I bet! #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:49:16 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @oceanbluepress Depending on the case context, there might be other physical evidence types: glass, paint or other particulates #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:50:34 +0000 |
| katcop13 | Less than 10 mins on our live #coldcase chat. Stop by if you have a question or comment #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:51:51 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @katcop13 @ColdCaseSquad Saliva / cells swabbed from the top of a bottle can give a DNA profile, yes. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:52:18 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @katcop13 I hope so! Not sure why the FBI held onto it for so long if someone in the field could help crack it. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:52:28 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @LilacLounge so you could find out where the burlap was stored before? like with coffee etc #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:52:52 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | @oceanbluepress #Gilgo is a very desolute place-you'd really have to know the area well #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:53:39 +0000 |

| katcop13 | @LilacLounge @ColdCaseSquad What if decades had passed, and the bottle had been recapped? #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:54:34 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @oceanbluepress Potentially yes. Any of those evidence types might provide clues to the bag's history. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:55:28 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @bluedog89 It's typical for agencies to hold on to info 4 a LONG TIME B4 asking the public. They try to solve it on their own #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:56:24 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | @bluedog89 I agree about #Google Earth as a tool for cops,but also the bad guys #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:56:30 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @oceanbluepress @LilacLounge I would think investigators have already covered this ground, even trying to link burlap w/seller. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:56:33 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @bluedog89 @oceanbluepress @LilacLounge The burlap is their strongest clue, I'd imagine #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:58:01 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @katcop13 @ColdCaseSquad If the bottle was stored somewhere dry & no one else drank from it. DNA can remain for years. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:58:09 +0000 |
| bluedog89 | @ColdCaseSquad True that. One step forward... #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:58:21 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad ok but is it far from the surfing area? what about birding? lots of ppl go to off areas for hobbies etc #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:58:38 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @bluedog89 @oceanbluepress I agree. It seems an obvious thing to investigate, but it's useful to ask the question I think. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:59:08 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @bluedog89 point taken #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:59:10 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @LilacLounge thanks 🙂 #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:59:43 +0000 |
| katcop13 | @LilacLounge @ColdCaseSquad Thx...very interesting. Would it strictly come from lip of bottle? Would/could liquid be tested? #CClivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:59:45 +0000 |
| ColdCaseSquad | Well #cclivechat can be done via a mobile phone! See I can multitask @Vidocq_CC | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 17:00:03 +0000 |
| oceanbluepress | @ColdCaseSquad you're too amazing 🙂 #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 17:00:46 +0000 |
| LilacLounge | @katcop13 @ColdCaseSquad If only a sip had been take, unlikely the remaining liquid would be tested. Not for DNA anyway. #cclivechat | Fri, 01 Apr 2011 17:00:47 +0000 |
