The Multiple Killer Theory

2011 turned out to be a significant year for the Long Island serial killer case. That's when the body count climbed, gruesomely from four to ten. It was an election year and the seat for Suffolk County executive was open. Spoda endorsed a candidate named Steve Boulone who ran essentially unchallenged. Weeks following his victory, he appointed James Burke as chief of police. With Burke and Spoda now occupying two of the most important positions in Suffolk County, their alliance was more powerful than ever.
