A man has been arrested in New York on suspicion of involvement in a series of unsolved Long Island murders. The so-called Gilgo Beach case has occupied the police for more than ten years.
Since 2010, human remains of at least ten victims have been found on the beach. Most of the victims were young women who earned their living as sex workers. But the remains of a toddler, an Asian man and a woman who had been missing for decades were also found.
A 59-year-old architect who lives in the same bay where the remains were found has been arrested after his DNA was linked to the remains of several women. He has been charged with the murder of three of the victims.

The architect came into the picture as a suspect in March 2022, when detectives linked him to a pickup truck that a witness had seen when one of the victims disappeared in 2010.
Since then he has been under surveillance and DNA material has been collected from his dumpster. In the end, DNA from a piece of discarded pizza crust was found to match a hair found on a piece of cloth in which the perpetrator had wrapped the body of one of the victims.
In 2020, the movie ‘Lost Girls’ paid attention to the mysterious murders.
