911 calls to be released in potential NY serial killer case

OAK BEACH, N.Y. – Distress calls to law enforcement connected to the investigation into a possible serial killer on Long Island may soon be released.

The new Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said he will release 911 calls that are related to the Gilgo Beach homicides, as long as they don’t negatively affect the ongoing investigation, Newsday reported.

The 2010 disappearance of Shannan Gilbert, 24-year-old sex worker in Jersey City, New Jersey, triggered the hunt that exposed the larger mystery. Four other bodies were soon found in the area, and the number had climbed to 10 sets of human remains by the spring of 2011.
