Everyone has a theory or is developing theories. Let's see what people are coming to believe. Over time and through tons of research and data posted here and in the MSM, a tremendous amount of information has surfaced. So here we go. IMO
Manorville and GB4 are Two Separate and Distinct Killers.
Manorville is violent, chaotic, although not necessarily disorganized and may even exhibit qualities of a rage killer. The women are beheaded and mutilated, naked and dumped like trash. In one case, one the males is said to have been brutally attacked.
Having said this, the killer seems to have designated drop sites. He chose Manorville (Wildlife Sancuary) for the bodies and torsos and for the body parts he puts them in plastic bags and scatters them along the OP. It is uncertain how long he holds on to the body parts. The bodies and torsos are dumped below the LIE and between exits 68 & 70 of the LIE. Interestingly enough, one report suggests that at least one of these exit ramps was a notorious "hookup" location for gay men. That is also true of the Parking Lot 6 at Jones Beach. Fire Island has long been known as a "gay friendly" destination.
But the Manorville killer may have simply lived somewhere right in between the two locations (Manorville and the shore.)
He may also already be confined and/or convicted of another crime.
(Example: Evan Marshall, 31 in 2006, from Glen Cove, NY.)
The baby, the mother and the male, dressed as a female and possibly beaten, may or may not be his victims but in the cases where body parts were found in plastic bags the Manorville Killer may be responsible.
If the first JD case (1996 Fire Island/legs & Head at JFK Wildlife Sanctuary) is related and it may be because her toenails were painted on only one foot and JT had a unique decal on only one of her toes, then he was likely in his early 20s when he committed this crime. If this JD 1996 is related then it would be a good idea to look at the case of "Cherries," "Peaches" and/or any of the cases between 1996 and 2006 where victims were dismembered and parts put into containers and dumped in parks and sanctuaries.
December is a time when college students come home for winter break. JD 1996, Fire Island, could have been killed by EM, if he came home for the holidays. By the time she was found, he could have been back in Arizona.
GB4 & AC4
GB4 (2007-2010 Memorial day through Labor Day) is most likely related to AC4 (Late October through November 2006) The victims are all Caucasian prostitutes, natural brunettes but some have dyed or bleached hair, small in stature, and most have been said to have some substance abuse issues.
In both cases, there is the generally even spacing of the bodies in a row and along or near an expressway but in between two highly trafficked lanes or highways.
In AC, they are dressed.
In GB4, they naked but are wrapped in burlap.
In both cases the victims were strangled. (From all MSM reports, none were dismembered.)
In both cases there may be religious overtones. (IN AC, bare feet and face down with heads turned to the East. In GB4, burlap may be seen as a religious form of atonement as in a hair shirt.)
Because of the phone calls to the GB4 family and friends, his use of social networking and accessing the voicemail of some of the victim's phones, it appears that he is a stalker and possibly a cyber stalker. He may get to know these women over several dates and once he has their trust he kills them. He is highly structured and organized.
The killer drives a vehicle that would not draw attention if it is seen by the side of the road.
IMO, there are at least Two Killers and maybe more.
