Two Cops Eyed in Long Island Murders

The New York Post says that two NYPD cops—one active, one retired—are the primary suspects in the killings of at least four Craigslist prostitutes whose remains were found on a Long Island beach. One of the cops retired in the mid-nineties after he was caught purchasing prostitutes while he was supposed to be on patrol; the other cop is still active but was stripped of his gun and badge years ago when he allegedly assaulted a prostitute and was arrested during a sting operation. Authorities have long suspected a cop of the crime based on the way the victims’ bodies were handled.
