Prostitute Found in Long Island Marsh in 2011 May Have Been Murdered, Pathologist Says
A new autopsy suggests that Shannan Gilbert, whose remains were found on a stretch of beach within miles of 10 other bodies, may have been strangled."Ms. Gilbert’s remains were found on Dec. 13, 2011, not far from where investigators had found her purse, jeans, shoes and cellphone days earlier. Police officials at the time said that her death was not necessarily connected to the others, and that they believed she had drowned as she crossed through the marshland trying to reach Ocean Parkway."
She would not leave her clothing and purse behind.
I am not ready to publicly suspect the responding officer.
