OAK BEACH, N.Y. (AP) — Nine-one-one calls connected to the investigation into a possible serial killer on Long Island may soon be released. The new Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison says he will release calls related to the Gilgo Beach homicides, as long as they don’t hinder the ongoing investigation. The 2010 disappearance of a 24-year-old sex worker in Jersey City, New Jersey triggered the hunt that exposed the larger mystery. Four other bodies were soon found in the area, climbing to 10 sets of human remains by the spring 2011. Investigators haven’t been able to determine whether a lone serial killer or several suspects were involved.
