A suspect was arrested in the investigation of a string of murders on Long Island’s South Shore more than a decade after the bodies were discovered.
A spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney said the suspect was taken into custody Thursday night by the police in connection with the murders of four women whose remains were found wrapped in burlap near Gilgo Beach. Their bodies were found within days of each other in 2010.
The case was being presented to a grand jury and officials “anticipate an indictment later on this afternoon,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said at a news conference. Harrison is leading the investigation along with the district attorney and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
