Raffo grew up in Brooklyn and moved to Atlantic City with her boyfriend in 2003. From my understanding, they are not.”īelow is a brief look at the four women whose murders in New Jersey have not yet been solved. “It has never been told to me that they are or were linked.

“I do not believe the Atlantic City murder victims are related to my sister's murder,” Cann told.

Still, the Lifetime movie ends on a dedication to both the victims in Long Island and Atlantic City. Melissa Cann, sister of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, said she doesn't buy that the cases are linked. Brainard-Barnes was 25 year old when she was killed - one of the first four women to be found murdered on Long Island. “At this time, there is no link between our case and the Atlantic City case.” “We continue to communicate with law enforcement agencies, including Atlantic City Police Department, regarding the Gilgo Beach homicide investigation,” the officer said.

However, the two cases have not officially been linked, as an officer with the Suffolk Police Department confirmed to this week. Fifteen years later, no one has been arrested in connection with the slayings in both the New York and New Jersey cases. And several, in both cases, were also sex workers. Several of the victims discovered on Long Island - some as early as 1996 - were strangled, too. Investigators believe they were most likely strangled, ABC News reported in 2010. Based on the level of decomposition, it was concluded they were all killed at different times. Three of the four women were blonde, and all were layed face-down with their heads pointing east. Breidor, 42, Molly Jean Dilts, 20, and Tracy Ann Roberts, 23, were found close-by in varying states of decomposition. The women called 911, and first responders soon found the remains of three other women within a few yards of Raffo’s corpse. The grim discovery began when two women came across the remains of Kim Raffo, 35, who was lying face-down in run-off water and chemical waste, Fox News reported in 2013. It’s also suggested in the movie that there are other murders that could be connected to the same killer on Long Island - and specifically, the four 2006 murders attributed to the so-called “Atlantic City Serial Killer.” Also dubbed the “Eastbound Strangler” in the press, the culprit is responsible for the deaths of four women whose remains were found behind the Golden Key Motel in New Jersey’s Egg Harbor Township. An additional six corpses found around Long Island beaches have not been officially linked to the serial killings - but theories have been put forth that their deaths could also be connected.

As the person or persons behind the deaths of those found killed in the remote beach towns of Suffolk County's Gilgo and Oak Beach remains a mystery, the body count of the case has become a point of contention. The new film primarily focuses on the hunt for the serial killer, or killers, responsible for killing at least 10 individuals whose remains were found on Long Island. And some believe, as is mentioned in the new Lifetime movie, "The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother's Hunt for Justice," that these murders may be connected to the notorious ongoing New York case. One such case that began 15 years ago involves the killings of four women who were found in the outskirts of Atlantic City. Yet there are similar and less-publicized cases whose victims also deserve a closer look. While the so-called "Long Island Serial Killer" case remains unsolved, over the years it has become a deep source of intrigue to true crime fans.
