RE: Steve Goncalves' remark "He doesn’t have to go up the steps" (recent interview, can't find link) Verbatim: “He doesn’t have to go up the steps.... Let's stop playing games, guys. I need somebody to step up and be an alpha... somebody to be a leader. Don't make me do. I don't wanna do it. He...

Re: #1,009 (Google Earth coordinates) Thank you to the posters who commented and the poster who bumped my post for visibility. I haven't been on WS since the new user interface and I'm having a hard time navigating the posts and replying to comments - apologies! Today 11.21.22 there was media...

(It's been many years since I've been on WS - but this case is so perplexing and sad that I had to comment. My interest and posts are always related to geography and time of crime.) At the press conference today 11.20.22, LE remarked that they are focused on the area "South of Taylor Avenue to...

Photos of item in pocket while exiting dorm. I tried to manipulate the image to show contrast. The way his arms are both bent at elbows, he may be already looking at his phone. So what is this - phone? tablet?

I couldn't find this interview with mother, so please post source if you can - thanks! Even with the justification that OK pulled out a larger amount of cash to avoid more fee charges in the future, it doesn't make sense that he would pull out a sizeable amount (presumably) and then walk off...

I found this James Burke quote and couldn't stop laughing: CHIEF BURKE: Oftentimes, that's how investigations start -- with the many, many legally available documents that anybody can access on the Internet. http://legis.suffolkcountyny.gov/clerk/cmeet/ps/2012/ps053112.pdf...

Again, I think it’s obvious that if new information is presented in any case, hot or cold, that may change the situation and charges may follow. I don’t how to respond with comments that seem so obvious and are presented just for argument’s sake. Pak was cleared – the conventional meaning of...

Exactly. Along with calling 911 that morning, a likely choice to call is the SCPD cop who lives a few houses away -- about 250 yards from where Shannan was last seen. Perhaps the cop wasn't around at the time -- but then, maybe he was around and very aware of the situation. Some parallels...

Here are excerpts I transcribed from John Ray's press conference in December featuring escort "Leanne". (Note: Not sure of detective's name -- Pertola?) Leanne to reporter: “You asked me about the tip. The tip was in regards to someone who lives on Oak Beach full-time and was good...

Wow - good find. In Burke's bio, I found this job description interesting: "undercover narcotics detective" You know who else's father was in law enforcement in NYC/LI likely the same time as Burke's father? A SCPD cop who lived in Smithtown for years and then moved to Oak Beach and...

Kali&89: Shannan arrived in Oak Beach at 2am and it was 4:50 when she ran out of Brewer's house. That's about 3 hours of time at, what, $300/hour? -- you think she stuck around Brewer's house for 3 hours and only left with $300? She had a lot more money than that. My point continues to be: We...

Great find, DQN! Here's what is odd though -- if I'm counting the years correctly. Public records and MSM sources state James Burke is currently 52. The people in the photo graduated Class of 1979 from East Islip. http://eastisliphighschool.net/class-of-1979.html According to this chart...

For some reason I had to log off in order to read your post. Sorry to hear it, Seaslug. Your insight was valuable to understand this complex case and your photos provided a lot of context about a place I've never been. Now Tricia's comment "it drives me nuts when posters accuse each other...

Prostitution is illegal in New York. Here is the definition of promoting prostitution: S 230.15 Promoting prostitution; definitions of terms. The following definitions are applicable to this article: 1. "Advance prostitution." A person "advances prostitution" when, acting...

Thanks, DQN -- Do you know the high school?

I couldn't find your "see below" reference. What happened Seaslug? You were an asset to these threads and also did your best to help out with a West Coast case back in 2013.

This quote is from a different thread but the subject is Shannan. Kolker's book illustrates that Shannan could be a difficult person to deal with. He also gives the story of Shannan telling her previous driver (right before Pak) that she would "find her own way home" and then she stiffed the...

Moving this to Shannan's thread.

While we're waiting... I have a question. I found this on Classmates.com: James Burke - Hauppauge High School - Class of 1978 Does anyone know if this is "our" guy? And, if anyone has a subscription to a yearbook website could you please check if it's him?

Thank you for responding with such detail. I think it's easy to forget that LISK may have not been aware of Shannan's disappearance at all. So 2 scenarios are: LISK had no involvement in Shannan's disappearance or death and knew nothing about it, which is why he continued with his disposal...
