These killings took place during October 1977 and February 1978 involving ten young women ranging from ages 12 to 28. With over one hundred law enforcement task force members working tirelessly to solve this case, the fear with in the community was still undeniable. It wasn’t long before the clues would come in one by one, to help detectives solve this heinous crime. Once two sets of DNA was revele on the crime scenes, police realized they had not just one but two killers. These two killers were cousins Kenneth Alessio Bianchi and Angelo Anthony Buono.
Two detectives were assigned to the case: Harry Hanson and Finis Brown. [2] When they and the police arrived at the crime scene, it was already swarming with people, gawkers and reporters. The entire situation was out of hand and crowded, everyone trampling all over any hopes for good evidence. [2] One thing they did report finding was a nearby cement block with watery blood on it, tire tracks and a heel print on the ground. There was dew under the body so they knew it had been set there just after 2 a.m. when temperatures dropped to 38 degrees.

On December 29, 1978, he met a young man at the pub and invited him to his home. When he woke up the next morning, Nilsen had the sudden idea that he didn’t want the man to leave he decided to strangle him with a tie and then drown him in a bucket of water. “He took the corpse to the bathroom to wash it and then placed the body back on his bed. He later remarked that he found the corpse beautiful” (Biography. com). He tried to have sex with the body but it was unsuccessful and spent the night sleeping next to it.

The second victim was a woman named Teresa Wallin. Chase considered an unlocked door as an invitation to go inside and a locked door meant that he was not welcome. Teresa had been taking the garbage out so, naturally, her door had been unlocked. He surprised her in her house and when she rose up her arm in a defensive move, he shot her in the palm of her hand. He then went on to shoot her twice in the head. When she was dead, he dragged her down the hall and into her bedroom. He retrieved a butcher knife and an empty yogurt container from Wallin’s kitchen and went back into the bedroom. Chase engaged in necrophilia with her corpse while he stabbed her several times with the knife. He then cut open her abdomen and removed several of her internal organs. Using a bucket, he collected her blood and took it into her bathroom so that he could bathe in it. He sliced off one of her nipples and u...
On Thanksgiving evening, November 27, 1992, Sergeant Kenneth Mathison and his wife Yvonne drive their 1988 tan Ford van along Route 131 in Hilo, Hawaii. The rain is pouring down and before he knows it, Kenneth Mathison is awaiting police assistance as he cradles his wife’s dead body in the back of their van. Mathison, a sergeant of 25 years with the Hilo Police Department was allegedly informing his wife, a maternity nursing professional at the Hilo Medical Center, that he was being investigated in his second paternity suit. According to Mathison, when Yvonne heard the news, she jumped from the passenger side of the van. While he was looking for her in the blinding rain, Mathison purportedly ran over his wife. He then carried the body into the van and secured it with yellow rope in the back before attempting to find help. Will the forensic evidence support Mathison’s account of that fateful evening?
After finding remains police continued to search the area to find more clues leading to who was in the burlap sack. Over the next two days, police found three more remains in burlap sacks, in the same area the first set of remains were found. As the search continued for more missing pieces in this very messed up puzzle, by April 2011, four more bodies were discovered in the area. The four sets of remains found more recent were not in burlap sacks, but police continued thinking the killings were connected somehow. Some details have yet to be released. Body parts that had been washed up as far as 50 miles away from the initial site of the remains were later matched with ones found near Ocean Parkway. In 1996, legs washed up on a shore, and were later matched with remains found in April of 2010. The forearm, skull, and hands of Jessica Taylor were matched from remains found 50 miles away in 2003. Over the course of fourteen years, it is known that the Long Island Killer was active from 1996 to 2010. After 2010, no one knows whether he has died, or is still active. If the killer is active in present times, he has found a new place to dump the bodies and remains. The case still remains a mystery.
