CRAIGSLIST A DEATH LIST FOR L.I. SERIAL KILLER

Barthelemy

COPS ON Long Island have chillingly discovered that the suspected serial killer who murdered four hookers and dumped their bodies on a remote beach used Craigslist to find victims.
The four murdered women all advertised their sexual services on the popular online classified site. Megan Waterman, 22, of Maine was the first victim identified last week.
Using DNA, cops have identified the other vicitms as: Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, of Norwich, Conn.; Amber Lynn Costello, 27, of North Babylon; and Melissa Barthelemy, 24, of Buffalo.
ACCORDING TO THE NY POST: The killer's last known victim, Costello, went missing from North Babylon only five months ago on Sept. 2. Waterman was last seen at a Hauppauge Holiday Inn on June 6 of last year, Barthelemy went missing from The Bronx on July 12, 2009, and Brainard-Barnes vanished from Manhattan in July 2007.

"I think it fits within the known definition of what a serial killer would be," said Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota, adding that more than one culprit could be involved.

Detectives say Barthelemy moved from Buffalo to the Big Apple to be a stripper and prostitute, was reported missing July 18, 2009. Cops confirmed her family received calls from her cell days after she went missing. The voice on the other line was chilling, according to the Post.

"Do you know what your sister does for a living?" the male caller asked, according to Barthelemy's mother. "Your sister's a whore, don't be like your sister."

She had moved to the city with her rapper beau and decided to stay. The plan was to make enough money as a sex worker to return to Buffalo. Small town girl Waterman traveled to Hauppauge last June with her pimp/boyfriend, Akeem Cruz, 20, of Brooklyn, and disappeared after leaving the hotel.
Cops said that Brainard-Barnes left her Connecticut home for New York City on July 12, 2007, and has not been heard from since.
