YLON, New York (Reuters) - At Gilgo Beach on a breezy summer day, Cheryl Mozetti kicks back on a beach chair as she watches her two children shovel piles of sand onto their makeshift castle. Less than Beats Graffiti Headphonesa 100 feet away sits a small memorial reminding people that the area was also a dumping ground for a probable serial killer, still at large, who preyed on prostitutes. "We come here from Brooklyn every summer," Mozetti, 38, said. "It's a family tradition. Sure everyone is talking about this serial killer, but I think people are making a much bigger deal than what it actually is. I don't feel any different coming here, and I don't think anybody else should." Up and down the dune-lined Ocean Parkway along a stretch of Long Island beaches, police have found 10 sets of human remains since December. They suspect some are victims of at least one serial killer preying on prostitutes who advertised on the Craigslist website. But beachgoers, residentsbeats graffiti limited and officials say the ongoing case has had little impact on their summer plans. "I come here all the time to surf and I actually didn't even know about this serial killer until someone told me today," said Jake Oberlin, 23, of Armonk, New York, adding, "It doesn't seem like someone is running around hacking up people on the beach like in some kind of horror movie." A memorial tucked into the mosquito-riddled brush on Gilgo Beach marks where police found some bodies. A cross bears the name of Megan Waterman, 22, of Maine. Suffolk County Police said she had advertised her services on Craigslist before her body and others were found in December. Waterman's mother, Lorraine Ela, came down from Maine in June to visit the spot, yards from the crashing Atlantic Ocean. "When they (police) pointed it out to me, it was very dramatic," she said. "I lost it. It was so heartbreaking." Waterman and several of the other victims' kin got together in June for a vigil at the site, which she found comforting.justbeats solo "We talk almost every day," said Waterman. "We're all one family now." Local, state and federal authorities have conducted several searches of the area, and Suffolk County Prosecutor Thomas Spota said recently there was likely more than one killer. Spota said that it was clear that the area had been used to discard human remains "for some period of time," but "as distasteful and disturbing as that is, there is no evidence that all of these remains are the work of a single killer." Four bodies were found in December as police searched for another Craigslist prostitute, Shannan Gilbert, 23, of New Jersey, who was reported missing in May 2010. But her body has not been found. Police linked her to a client's house at the nearby seaside neighborhood of Oak Beach a few miles away. Oak Beach resident Gus Colleti told Reuters that Gilbert had banged on his door pleading for help shortly before police believe she disappeared into the night. "She kept screaming 'Help me, help me, help me,'" he said. "Then she ran off." The four bodies police found initially were all wrapped in burlap and identified as Craigslist escorts. But since then they have found other victims that do not fit the pattern, including a young Asian man who died a violent death and a child about 18-to-24-months old wrapped in a blanket. But the grim nature of the case has not altered the mood of the upscale enclave. "The talk of this has quieted down considerably," Colleti said. "I don't think anyone is really talking about this right now." The beaches along Ocean Parkway, including famous Jones Beach, serve as a major day trip destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each summer. Parks and tourism officials expect the case to have little or no impact. "We haven't really discussed it, and there doesn't seem a reason to," said George Gorman, the deputy regional director for Long Island's state parks. Moke McGowan, president of the Long Island Conventions and Visitors Bureau, said the area saw roughly 6.4 percent more tourists in May compared to last year, and expects that attendance rise to continue throughout the justbeats solosummer. Noting that New York passed legislation legalizing gay marriage, McGowan said, "We do plan on seeing a nice increase in wedding activity in Long Island, which we're known for. I think it's really shaping up to be a very positive summer vacation season."............Lawyer for alleged victim in DSK case lashes out at DA, says victim will come forward . .By Laura Rozen Senior Foreign Affairs Reporter .PostsEmailRSS .By Laura Rozen | The Envoy – Fri, Jul 1, 2011 ........ Dominique Strauss-Kahn with his wife Anne Sinclair on Friday, July 1, 2011. (David Ka … "Law & Order" could not have produced a script with more dramatic turnarounds. As former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was released from house arrest Friday, the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her in a New York hotel room in May became the main focus of public scrutiny. To counter the wave of allegations now circulating around the 32-year-old immigrant maid from Guinea, her attorney has accused Manhattan prosecutors of sullying her reputation to distance themselves from the damaged case against Strauss-Kahn. "We believe that the district attorney [Cyrus Vance] is laying the foundation to dismiss this case," charged the accuser's attorney, Kenneth Thompson, in a talk with journalists after Strauss-Kahn's bail hearing in a New York courtroom today. "Anyone can see that." In a brief nine minute hearing today, Strauss-Kahn was granted release from house arrest without bail. But the court is retaining his passport, and the criminal case against him still stands, at least for now. Weaknesses in the case were exposed injustbeats solo a stunning New York Times report Thursday night describing prosecutors' doubts about the credibility of the accuser. Thompson acknowledged that his client had "made mistakes," but insisted that she is telling the truth about the alleged assault. In her account, she was the victim of a sexual assault in Strauss-Kahn's hotel room May 14--and Thompson insisted that prosecutors have physical evidence to support her version of events. He also accused Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance of leaking information to the New York Times to discredit his client in a bid to get the case dismissed. Still, prosecutors had uncovered major discrepancies in several aspects of the accuser's accounts of her background and circumstances, the New York Times reported Thursday. Among them, discrepancies in her accounts of what information she had put on her U.S. asylum application, and her apparent later admission that some of the information on the application was not true. Prosecutors also obtained a recording of a phone conversation the woman had with a man imprisoned for possession of 400 pounds of marijuana that took place within a day of the alleged assault. In the conversation, she and the man reportedly discussed the possible benefit of pursuing charges in the case against Strauss-Kahn. Prosecutors had also reportedly found that over the past two years, as much as $100,000 had been deposited into the woman's bank accounts, deposited by several individuals including the imprisoned man. The woman also apparently had several telephones, but insisted to prosecutors she had only one. Some of their findings were contained in a letter from Vance's office to defense attorneys for Strauss-Kahn, which you can read here. Thompson said he had not yet heard the recording of the phone call between his client and the imprisoned man. But he said prosecutors had told him the woman's account of the alleged attack in the call was consistent with what she had earlier told prosecutors and a grand jury. "The victim here made some mistakes, that doesn't mean she's not a rape victim," Thompson told journalists. "All this stuff leaked to the New York Times was designed to discredit her. ... She is determined. She is not going to remain in hiding any more. She is going to tell you what Dominique Strauss-Kahn did to her, and what prosecutors in this office did to her." Thompson also asked why, in the aftermath of the accusation, the police and DA's office failed to even try to question Strauss-Kahn about what had happened in the hotel room during the five hours they held him in custody before he asked for an attorney. New York police authorities had arrested the former IMF headpowerbeats as he was sitting on an Air France flight awaiting takeoff at JFK Airport on May 14. "Why wasn't DSK questioned before he asked to speak to his lawyer?" Thompson said he asked Vance. "Cy Vance had no answer. That does not make sense." Separately, reports this week noted that Lisa Friel, the head of the Manhattan DA office sex crimes division had resigned. Vance, speaking to reporters after Friday's court hearing, said his office was not yet dropping the case. "Our prosecutors from the Manhattan D.A.'s office will continue their investigation into these alleged crimes and will do so until we have uncovered all relevant facts," Vance said outside New York State Supreme Court. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for July 18th.
