Our very own Taxi Driver here on websleuths.....so do any cabs or livery cars frequent the hotels in the massapequa area like the best western and budget that were on sunset?
I can step out and be in a cab in five minutes. Thats the way its always been. MB phone records would reflect if she called a cab or not.
On "sunset"? What are you referring to?
Taxi driver by night, Nutritional Microscopist & Lymphatic Drainage Therapist by day.
Thanks to all the locals who provided info on the livery/cab system in NY! I'm just trying to figure out if Melissa called for her ride(s) or if they were provided for her. In my mind, a black car meant a limo - a fancy way to get to work unless your client sent the car...and...it means technically - that MB DID have a driver of sorts.
Hearing this now, I'm thinking she must have gotten a ride to LI - taken care of at least one customer - then checked her voicemail for new clients - maybe twice. At that point she must have met him outside the hotel. I mean, if she had a $1000.00 client lined up (as pimp says) I would guess that she would spend a few hours with that client - why would she be checking her voicemail to get a new client? Answer: she wouldn't. She must have been with him when she checked her voicemail - or HE checked it. In Massapequa.
As a long time barrier beach resident, i'd like to point out that phone calls, postings to facebook etc. made from the ocean parkway will often be labeled in posts and on bills as massapequa, amityville, lindenhurst or any of the towns on the south shore, depending on where you were on the parkway at the time. My point is, just because her phone used a tower in massapequa doesn't mean she or her phone was.

but i've seen it specifically stated her cell pinged at best western and budget inn. Look...the SK is obviously a full time monger..meaning he's like the freaks on utopiaguide and spends all his time trolling for prostitutes. Over the past 20 years he must have frequented the Edison Ave strip in Babylon frequently to pick up street walkers and he must have frequently used the hotels like best western to bring pros over the years. And now that I'm thinking about it....dont hotels seems to be a common denominator here?
Think about it....Maureen...staying at a hotel on 40 something....Megan went missing from the hotel....Melissa's phone was at those two hotels in Massapequa....The AC 4 and the golden key.....the latest victim in Egg Harbor was staying at a hotel before she ended up murded in a suitcase....
Lots of hotels...

Very interesting...thanks mcme...but where do you think she was (or her phone was - can it be narrowed down to a particular tower? I don't have a clue how that works...please explain!
I'm not completely sure how it works, but if your phone is using service based locating vs. gps locating, the bill or posts will show what it assumes is your location based on which cell antenna you connect to. At Gilgo it usually comes up Amityville, at Cedar beach it's Lindenhurst, at Oak Beach it's West Islip etc. Massapequa shows up from the West Gilgo to Tobay areas.
Where would it come up if a call was made from Captree?
The man, CS, who apparently was the person who erazed the May 1, 2010 surveillance tapes from Oak Beach (the night Shannan Gilbert disappeared), was listed to a phonenumber connected to "L<modsnip> LUXURY LIMOUSINES INC"

Who is this CS? What makes you think that is the person responsible for erasing the tape? Please direct us to your source or provide a link. There is the rumour thread if you don't want to say here...Tx!
Since theforeigner didn't deign to answer my question, I'll answer it for us all myself: This CS is mentioned in Kolker's book as an Oak Beach Resident who may have been responsible for erasing the tape. THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION OF THIS THAT i KNOW OF. More than likely it recorded over itself after a month. Coletti said it was recorded to a hard drive. As others have said - if there's a hard drive - it should be accesable to LE. I can't think it would show anything except Pak's car - the residents of Oak Beach could have used that road by the association building that goes out to O.P. No gate, no camera. That's in the book too.
It sounds as if you believe there's a way out of the Oak Beach Assc. that residents can use that doesn't include the gates. That is not the case. There is one way in and out, and that's past the booth and through the gates.
I got this picture from Websleuths when it was posted.
They stated that you can go Hawser Driver to Robert Moses Causeway
and they have the blue line showing a back way out of Oak Beach.
