COPS UP REWARD CASH FOR LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER

AS THE hunt for the Long Island Serial Killer grows colder by the day cops have juiced up the reward money in hopes a rounder will turn rat. The reward now stands at $25,000--biggest in Suffolk County history. The investigation has hut numerous roadblocks since remains started turning up on a remote beach. So far, remains from 10 people have been recovered, including an infant and an Asian male.
The rest have been women, all suspected prostitutes.
The probe was triggered when the remains of four dead women -- all missing escorts that advertised their services on Craigslist -- were in December. Now, detectives believe the area has been used as a dumping ground.


DA THOMAS SPOTA said: "The area in and around Gilgo Beach has been used to discard human remains for some period of time. As distasteful and as disturbing as that is, there is no evidence that all of these remains are the work of a single killer."

LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER: COPS PROBE 2 MORE VICS

COULD the Long Island Serial Killers have two more names etched in their grim scorecard? Could be, according to the New York Post. Detectives now are looking at two more hooker murders--and maybe more--to see if there are any links between them and the 10 other bodies dumped on a lonely stretch of Long Island beach. Many of the dead bodies were prostitutes who worked through Craigslist.
One of the cases detectives are looking at or "reviewing" in police parlance, is that of Tanya Rush, 29, of Brooklyn. They are cryptically saying the grisly slaying as "possibly being involved." Rush's dismembered remains were discovered on June 27, 2008 and her
remains were jammed into a small, dark suitcase. Police would not reveal any details of the second case. Detectives believe at least two killers are responsible for the carnage.

LONG ISLAND LATEST: COPS HUNTING 2 SERIAL KILLERS

TAYLOR

TWO serial killers are now being sought by cops investigating the 10 murdered bodies found on a deserted Long Island beach. The macabre discoveries included the head of a prostitute missing since 2003.
Investigators have finally identified  the remains of a skull and a pair of hands found in March as belonging to 20-year-old Jessica Taylor, whose headless, handless body was found 40 miles away in Manorville in 2003.
She is the fifth victim publicly identified in the case. 
It is not yet known if whether, like the other victims, she was a prostitute who advertised on Craigslist.
Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said he was convinced the prostitutes were all killed by the same man, but admitted police have yet to identify a suspect - and there is likely to be a second killer.

He said: "As distasteful and disturbing as that is, there is no evidence that all of these remains are the work of a single killer."

He added that parts of a second woman were also found this year on the beach. Spota says a man and a girl younger than 2 years old also are among the victims.
