bawled like a baby when I've read they finally caught LISK (Long Island Serial Killer), from what we know he's been inactive since 2011 so I was worried that the bastard died without his victims receiving justice

I want nothing more than justice for that disgusting scum's victims, and for his unidentified victims to be identified

If it wasn't for Shannan Gilbert, who knows when the bodies would've been found, and it's so distressing to know she almost got away from him and she is likely the reason he got spooked and stopped

my heart hurts so much for all of his victims, he targeted really vulnerable sex workers and stole their lives in the most cruel of ways

it's especially upsetting to know that a number of his victims haven't gotten their names back

I've been following the LISK info since they found Shannan Gilbert back 2010. The whole situation is very scary to me since I'm from LI, my mom got me a healthy fear or being murdered back when I was a child (I have vivid memories of my being a child and running off and my mom eventually catching up to me grabbing my arm and yelling about how I could be abducted and killed and dumped in a trash can, when I was in HS back in 2007 I volunteered with our HS environmental group to go clean up Gilgo Beach (we got there on the bus, but it was flooded and so we went to a neighboring beach instead) and some of these murders are from before that year, and just the fact that the person arrested last year is a literally 15 min drive door to door to my house where I grew up. I would drive on Ocean Parkway a lot--I loved driving there. It always felt like a cool place to drive, especially at night. And I was a dumb young teen/early 20s person driving along there late at night by myself sometimes.

Its not like I kept up with all the people from my high school. It is entirely possible and likely that some women became sex workers and could have become victims of him. I am sure the SCPD (whom I hate with a passion for other reasons) haven't found all the victims, haven't listened to people saying their daughters or friends are missing like for these women.

After reading the bail document from yesterday, it's entirely possible he changed his MO multiple times to mix things up and take SCPD off his trail. He was finding some people on Tinder and my sisters use Tinder in that area. I'm sure that he lied about his age on there and like they could feasible have appeared in his searches. My mom was a single mom with kids, didn't graduate high school. Honestly, she could have turned to sex work at some point and I would never have known. I don't think she did, but honestly she never told the truth about anything, so who knows? I found a journal of hers once where she was writing about meeting some guys at a hotel. I didn't read it all partially because I wasn't really intending to snoop--I was just looking for something and came across it--so I don't know what that was about. But neither her nor may aunt were straight edge people. They were both very much promiscuous and likely involved in some risky behaviors (I always wonder about my mom and drugs knowing my dad, but that is also something I probably will never get an answer about) and were both struggling financially. That I am one of the family members "breaking the cycle" but my brother who grew up in the same household lived on the streets and does drugs and definitely does do a lot of risky behavior and I always ask myself: what was the difference between us to end up on such wildly different paths? That I have memories sleeping in the car at a park with my mom as a child multiple nights because of our fucked up life that was a 10 min drive to where some of these women were found. That as a teen, my mom would force me to drive my brother late at night to find money for drugs which involved sitting in my car alone in the dark while he harassed people and met others in dark parking lots of hotels. And one at least one occasion, someone I didn't know did come up to the car and try to talk to me.

Almost forgot to post this bs lol
