Disgraced former police chief James Burke who botched the Gilgo Beach murders investigation has been arrested AGAIN for soliciting a male sex worker.

He faces charges of offering a sex act, public lewdness, indecent exposure, and criminal solicitation, with additional potential charges pending, the spokesperson said. He was previously convicted in 2012 for beating a suspect in police custody and covering it up, and sentenced in 2016 to 46 months in prison for ass*ult and obstruction of justice. He was released in 2018.

Case Background: The Long Island serial killer (LISK), also known as THE GILGO BEACH KILLER and THE CRAIGSLIST RIPPER is an unidentified suspected serial killer who has murdered between 10 and 16 people over 20 years, with the remains of their victims found between 2010 and 2011 after the search for Shannan Gilbert began. Shannan's 911 call on May 1st, 2010 launched an investigation into her disappearance and helped police to discover the grounds where many bodies had been discarded of, undiscovered, mostly in burlap sacks. "The Gilgo Four" were the first to be discovered, all found within a quarter of a mile of one another near Gilgo beach in 2010. Shannan's body was discovered a year after these four bodies were- the police have stated that her death was an accident and is unrelated to the case, but a private autopsy found that there were signs of strangulation.

[deemaynard]

Had the audacity to say Do you know who I am? Like we Long Islanders would ever forget

[ScabibbleWilly]

What a total disgrace to LE. He is the sole reason for that case to take so long to get solved.

[worldtraveler]

I'm a resident of Suffolk County since 2004. James Burke arrest just didn't come out of nowhere.This guy (I believe) has been watched since the arrest of Rex, and! I might add, Rex just might be talking.
8 gigs is a lot of evidence and they don't call ME to a storage locker just to have a look.

I enjoy your channel SAWUBONA!

[marisapolesky]

The people who originally promoted him to chief, need to be interviewed.

[catgray]

I wonder if they'll try to prosecute Burke for interfering in the Gilgo case when he was police chief?

[jonboycat]

just shows what sort of people can abuse positions of power and just how out of control they can get

[sherrykrause]

This guy is out of control. He needs to have it cut off.

[jeepsahara]

Makes me think he’s on the police radar for something- I bet there’s a surveillance detail on him for some type of connection to the victims.

[CurtRowlett]

We can always count on you to stay on top of the breaking stories, Gisela. Thank you.

[lFUDARE]

Wow this Ex Chief can't seem to follow the Law.. One does wonder what else he is capable off?

[ludiprice]

I do wonder if the homicide unit were reluctant to investigate because Massapequa Park was a place where lots of cops lived, and they didn't want to potentially investigate one of their own.

[donnarawiri]

Maybe this sting was to get him into custody...he knows stuff about the LISK situation....

[richardt]

In 2010, they had all they needed to solve this case. They had the type and color of vehicle and a physical description of the murderer. A search of public records would likely have reduced it to no more than a few suspects.

[hopek]

Im so glad to hear this I think he has plenty to do with shannan gilbert

[pi-sxmb]

And this guy used to be in charge of a massively large police force? Plenty of awesome cops out there, but the days of giving them the benefit of the doubt and a blanket pass are history.

[tarashay]

G, I keep thinking about the comment that Nicole Brass said that Rex told her about it possibly being a police car that pulled over to the side of the road in order to leave the bodies at the beach and how no one would question a police car being pulled off the road. Just keep thinking about the comments he made to her. There had to be some truth in some of the things he said to her about it. Thanks for all you do!! My fav channel! ❤

[audreydaleski]

Public humiliation. .do the crime and u earn the humiliation. Same as any citizen, cop, president, if, priest, any lay worker.

[ashleesavage]

No wonder he didn't want anyone investigating Gilgo..he's dirty as hell and God knows what else he's been up to....

[michelleperrino]

Also James Burke and the district attorney Tom spotta were both in trouble back then....
