Bodies found in New York may be the work of a serial killer

BABYLON, NEW YORK (BNO NEWS) -- Authorities are investigating whether the remains of four people found on Long Island in New York may have been the work of a serial killer, police said on Tuesday.

The first skeletal remains were found on Saturday along a road in Babylon, a town in Suffolk County on Long Island. On Monday, three more bodies were found nearby as police were investigating the first remains which had been found there.

While authorities are still investigating the crimes, police believe they may be the work of a serial killer who used the road to dump his victims. It is not yet known who the victims are or how and when they were killed.

Suffolk Police Commissioner Richard Dormer said some of the bodies may have been there as long as up to two years ago. At least two of them were said to be female.

However, there is speculation that one of the victims could be 22-year-old Megan Waterman who was last seen on June 6 when she was staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Hauppauge, which is just a 20 minute drive from Babylon.

Waterman, the mother of a young girl, had placed advertisements on Craigslist as an escort and told her 20-year-old boyfriend Akeem Cruz on June 5 that she would be going out and call him later. When she did not call, Cruz called Waterman's grandmother.

Her family members believe Waterman was being influenced by Cruz during their relationship. "The public needs to be aware of how easy it is for a young mother to fall under the 'spell' of a boyfriend who convinces her that becoming an escort is the 'easy way out'," her family said on a website to help find her.

In addition to Waterman, there are also fears for 24-year-old prostitute Shonnan Gilbert who went missing in May. She had traveled to Fire Island, about a 40 minute drive from Babylon, to meet with a client.

As the remains are badly decomposed, the remains will have to be identified through dental records or DNA.
