I always go back to the point that Shannan Gilbert would not have made a good victim for a serial killer since her driver , Michael Pak was waiting outside for her. The GB4 were picked up in the dark of night, the latter two were instructed to leave their mobile devices at their residence. That is assuming Pak is not complicit in an ultra-conspiracy to murder sex workers and leave their remains along Ocean Parkway.
Just because Shannan may not have been the victim of LISK (as we know them) does not mean that a connection does not exist. The community of Oak Beach contained a certain element, i'm speaking to the middle aged men that solicit sex workers. Because the community is small, likeminded folks with similar interests (drugs, sex, etc) were mingling. See, despite how negative and frowned upon that behavior and lifestyle is, there is no doubt that it is very much its own subculture/underworld. This is evidenced by the forums such as Utopia Guide dedicated to the discussions surrounding solicitation of sex workers.
With regard to Oak Beach, connections in the community are well documented. Many are speculative but there should be no doubt to any of us that some of the "Johns" in this community with an appetite for that lifestyle , got together to partake in what they all enjoyed. There are LeAnnes (the sex worker John Ray represents who spoke to the media) accounts. Now, it is fair to question the credibility of those accounts, but this is a woman who showed her face to the media and alleged that Burke crudely and in dominating fashion used her oral cavity as his personal sex toy at a party in Oak Beach. It is the same woman who alleges that Lindsay Henry (the son of former Suffolk DA Patrick Henry, who employed none other than Spota as his prosecutor) is LISK, though that was in a recorded phone conversation with a Suffolk Detective that you can find if you go down the rabbit hole of blogs that some Websleuths members are very familiar with.
It makes me wonder why she would fabricate such a story, since she clearly has more to lose than to gain as outing herself as a sex worker and making such allegations. But if you consider for a moment that possibly, Spota , who came up under Patrick Henry, and himself, groomed Burke, would have a connection to Patrick Henrys son Lindsay, then it is not farfetched to believe that Burke would also have a connection to Lindsay Henry. It's a big dysfunctional family tree of corruption.
Back to Brewer , who went on record, to Robert Kolker and admitted he is with holding information because, and i'm paraphrasing "they are my friends" and that when all is said and done the police would have "a lot of pie on their face". I definitely referenced the page number in one of my old posts, but this is in black & white, in print,in Lost Girls. So when the guy who hired Shannan for sex work has gone on record, in a New York Times Bestseller and made these statements AND the county has made every effort to keep the 911 calls from ever being released, there is a picture painted. This isn't a clear picture, it's fuzzy, but the key pieces of it are visible for all to see.
