Throwback: Maggie Freleng on Gilgo Beach Murders

With the BREAKING NEWS of an arrest in the Gilgo Beach Murders and being unable to get to my studio, here is the episode I did with TV/True Crime Personality Maggie Freleng about the case. I will have a BRAND NEW episode covering both this case and the injustice of Alissa Turney's case next Friday. Suffolk County’s new police commissioner announced in February the creation of a special joint task force to solve the decade-old Gilgo Beach murders. A new interagency task force including investigators from the FBI, as well as state and local police departments, will try to solve the decade-old mystery of human remains found strewn along a New York beach highway, officials announced Tuesday. The formation of the Gilgo Beach task force represents a renewed commitment to investigating the unsolved killings of mostly young women whose skeletal remains were found along a highway on Long Island, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said. “As I said on Day One as police commissioner, I believe this case is solvable and identifying the person or people responsible for these murders is a top priority,” Harrison, who took over the top job at the Suffolk County department last month, said in a news release.
