Sources say a person is in custody related to the killings of at least 10 people around New York beaches
[Breaking news update, published at 11:08 a.m. ET] [Original story, published at 10:31 a.m. ET] A suspect is in custody for the Gilgo Beach murders, an unsolved case tied to at least 10 sets of human remains discovered since 2010 in suburban Long Island, New York, according to two law enforcement sources. This is the first arrest in the long-dormant case, which sparked conflicting theories about whether a serial killer was responsible.
The mystery began in 2010 when police discovered the first set of female remains among the bushes along an isolated strip of waterfront property on Gilgo Beach while searching for Shannan Gilbert, a missing 23-year-old woman from Jersey City, New Jersey. By the time Gilbert’s body was found one year later on neighboring Oak Beach, investigators had unearthed 10 sets of human remains strewn across two Long Island counties.
