Shannan Gilbert: Baden Releases Autopsy Results 02.12.2016

Does anyone have a link to watch this live?
 
Okay so I can't even...and I'm not sure of new rules, perhaps. So maybe someone else can let me know if it's discussable...
 
Any way to post a link to the complete press conference? I caught the last 5 mins. That way we can all see it? I can't find it, but I will keep looking. Thanks!!
 
Just curious - is this really anything new? Didn't he say prior that her hyoid bone showed evidence of this?
 
No I think he said that he was told that the bone was missing or partly missing...going to have to watch it again. When we find it..

Your right. Its not conclusive. But since there is evidence that it may have happened then it probably did. She did say someone was trying to kill her. LE will use this as an excuse to NEVER RELEASE the 911 tape.
 
Im surprised SG hyoid bone was found with her remains. Her remains were in the marsh during hurricane Irene.

You have to wait for Newsday to post it.
 
Can somebody kindly paraphrase the talking points of the presser. Thanks.

ETA I find newsday to be a very clandestine news agency for us 'outsiders'.
 
Mary Murphy PIX11 has good coverage.

"TORTURE, BEFORE DEATH? The attorney representing the family of ‪#‎ShannanGilbert‬ convinced renowned coroner, Dr. Michael Baden, to examine Gilbert's remains....several years after she was found dead in a marsh at Oak Beach, Long Island. Gilbert was a ‪#‎CraigsList‬ escort who vanished in May 2010. The search for Gilbert led to the discovery of dead women wrapped in burlap--other escorts--revealing a ‪#‎SerialKiller‬ was on the loose. The Suffolk ME said Gilbert drowned, but Dr. Baden says HIS findings are "consistent with homicidal strangulation." PLEASE WATCH MY ATTACHED PIX 11 REPORT, TO FIND OUT WHY."

Escort Linked to NY Serial Killer Case May Have Been Strangled

The New Jersey escort whose 2010 disappearance led to the discovery of 11 butchered bodies on a Long Island beach may have been strangled, a newly released autopsy report found.

[...]

"Michael Baden comes to disturbing conclusions," family attorney John Ray said.

Family members said the findings — which showed no evidence Gilbert died of natural causes, a drug overdose or by drowning — should spur authorities to open a murder investigation into Gilbert's death, which has never been ruled a homicide.

"We're demanding they activate a homicide investigation for Shannan Gilbert," Ray said.
 
Pathologist offers new theory on Shannan Gilbert's death

[...]

Baden says he reviewed a medical examiners' reports and photographs sent to him by John Ray, the Gilbert family attorney. He said he also examined skeletal remains, finding Gilbert's larynx and parts of the hyoid bone in the neck missing.

"These structures, the larynx and the hyoid bone, are often fractured during homicidal manual strangulation," he wrote.

There is insufficient information to determine a definite cause of death, he added.

Autopsy: Slain New Jersey sex worker possibly strangled

[...]

Although detectives have long maintained that Gilbert's death is unrelated to the killings of 10 others along Ocean Parkway in suburban New York, John Ray, an attorney for the Gilbert family, said Friday that an independent autopsy suggests the 24-year-old Jersey City, New Jersey, woman may have been strangled.

[...]

Ray subsequently asked noted forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden to conduct an independent review.

Baden found that while "there is insufficient information to determine a definite cause of death," the autopsy findings "are consistent with homicidal strangulation." Baden's letter to Ray also said there is no evidence "that she died of natural disease, of a drug overdose or of drowning."

Ray said at a press conference with Gilbert's mother and sisters that he has requested the Suffolk County homicide squad re-activate the investigation into the woman's death.

Police Commissioner Timothy Sini said in a statement Friday that detectives are waiting to review Baden's findings. Sini announced in December that the department has brought in FBI investigators to assist local detectives with the probe.
