I thought I’d take the opportunity to go more in-depth with Eben Foster, FBI agent from Possession of Truth. This is Eben’s overview of the Long Island Serial Killer Case, which is currently unsolved.
The disappearance of Shannan Gilbert, a prostitute, triggered an investigation that led police to discover at least eight, possibly 10, bodies to date on a remote stretch of beach in Long Island. So far, the police have released very little information, and it looks like they don’t have much to go on. All the bodies were exposed to the elements for a significant period of time, so there’s a dearth of physical evidence.
Law enforcement released a profile of the killer, and in it stated that he had called one of the victim’s sisters and taunted her. The other information that is currently making news is an account of Shannan’s last night. A man, GC, claims that she knocked on his door at 5 in the morning while he was shaving. Shannan screamed for help but as GC was calling the police, she ran outside, under his boat. When an SUV approached and GC had an extended conversation with the driver, she ran off toward the beach.
After analyzing the story many times, too many details are missing or out-of-place. What is the importance of providing the info that he was shaving and then called the police with shaving cream on his face? That’s completely irrelevant, unnecessary and slightly self-aggrandizing. It sounds more like a well-rehearsed alibi. Also, as described by GC, he had a significant conversation with the “Asian” driver of the SUV who was obviously after Ms. Gilbert. If that’s the case, why did he not get the license plate number? And lastly, why would Ms. Gilbert run when she’d actually managed to find help at five in the morning? That strikes me as nonsensical.
In conclusion… although the police may be withholding information from the public because of the ongoing investigation, GC’s piece in this puzzle is intriguing. His statements are self-serving, illogical, and easy to pick apart. It seems more like another taunt.
As always, please remember that everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Happy sleuthing!
