Thoughts on the Long Island Serial Killer

The profile of the Long Island Serial Killer is far too broad in my opinion. Not sure I agree with it entirely. A male white anywhere from 20s to 40s, with stable employment and who drives a nice car could be anyone and no one. The burlap bags he is alleged to have used is the only thing of interest in my opinion. This could be an indication of his profession, like a landscaper, or roofer like the Rochester serial killer Joel Rifkin is said to believe.

The emotional cruelty that he displays in calling the teen sister of one of the victims and taunting her with details of her life as a sex worker definitely shows someone with little empathy for those around him. It pegs him as a sexual sadist for sure. He could work in coffee distribution, a profession that burlap bags have always played a vital role in.

Imagine, a man trolling the the areas of Gilgo beach, or Jones Beach on Long Island in a van or truck of an established delivery company would not attract that much attention from the authorities. He could pull off to the side of the road in the middle of the night and dump his victims where ever he chose. He could literally hide in plain sight, since he's one of the few people who 'belong' on the road during that time of night. I may be wrong, I'm probably wrong, but it's just possible. Only time will tell.
