LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER: FAMILY HOLDS SAD VIGIL

AS COPS on Long Island broadened their search for an elusive serial killer who has been murdering hookers, one family held a vigil Sunday. Friends and family members of Shannon Gilbert left flowers and held a prayer vigil at the spot she was last seen a year ago screaming for help.
“I’m here to remember my daughter Shannan and to get the word out to help to find her and bring her home because we miss her and we love her and want her back,” mom Mary Gilbert said, adding she still holds out hope that her daughter is still alive.
 Investigators plan to search both sides of Wantagh State Parkway for the first time. The case has become of the largest investigations in Suffolk County after as
many as 10 sets of human remains have been found in the Oak Beach and Gilgo Beach vicinity.
Shannan vanished  May 4, 2010 after visiting a “client” she connected with using Craigslist. She was last seen by her driver allegedly acting delirious when she refused to leave the client’s home and ran off in an unknown direction. Her disappearance triggered the massive search that turned up evidence a serial killer was preying on prostitutes.
