Families of several women who were slain are trying to find closure after the capture of a man who authorities say is responsible.
NEW YORK — The trail had gone cold as clues suddenly dwindled. For a time, doubts swirled about whether a killer who dumped the remains of his female victims along remote stretches of coastline on New York's Long Island would ever be caught.
To accelerate the search for Barthelemy's remains, her family hired a psychic who provided tantalizing clues that would prove accurate: She would be found in a shallow grave along the shore, near a sign with the letter G. This combination of undated image provided by the Suffolk County Police Department, shows Melissa Barthelemy, top left, Amber Costello, top right, Megan Waterman, bottom left, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Authorities on Long Island are vowing to continue investigating a string of killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders after charging an architect in the deaths of three of the 11 victims.
Waterman was found near Gilgo Beach in December 2010, six months after she boarded a bus from Maine to New York. Her mother, Lorraine Ela, died last year never knowing if her daughter's killer would ever be found. Robinson also hoped Taylor would be "remembered as a beautiful young woman, not what her occupation was at that time."
"As far as we knew, she was still missing," said her sister Danielle Mack. "We knew that something was wrong because ... we just don't believe she would have never come back after 20 years.""It's a lot to process," she said, adding that she doesn't know what to make of the fact that Heuermann wasn't charged in Valerie's death.
