Daughter of Suspected Gilgo Beach Killer Linked to Cannibalism and Murders, Attorney Wildly Claims

John Ray, the attorney who has represented the family of Shannan Gilbert for decades, is coming under fire for comments at a news conference last week. While the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, has not been charged in Gilbert’s death, Ray and his team have reportedly been doing their own investigation into his family. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber takes a closer look at the dots Ray is trying to connect.

Correction: The name of one of the Gilgo Four victims was mistakenly spoken in error. Melissa Barthelemy is the correct name, not Megan Barthelemy.

The victim Sandra Castillo is my Aunt. We were close in the 90s. I was 12 years old when she took off and did what she wanted to do for money. Her drug habit was the driving force. My dad and uncle tried to help her as much as possible. But Sandy didn't want help at that time.
We miss you Aunt Sandy. I love you, Michael

Sir, you are talking to true crime junkies. Our search history will make your head explode.

Ok, NGL, he about lost me at “she’s wearing a shirt with skeleton on it”. I have like three in my drawer.

[wensome]

She is definitely guilty of a fashion crime.

LawAndCrime Network. Every single time you report this case, you continually misname the Gilgo 4. There is only one Megan. That is Megan Waterman. The other lady is called MELISSA Barthelemy. This mistake has been made on this channel on multiple uploads. Thanks.

People need to stop calling them young children.. they are grown adults

[Annie-ZA]

Heuermann is so incredibly difficult to look at. He doesn't have a single visually pleasant feature on his face. SCARY!!!

[geralddorer]

remember the 911 call from one victim who said "these people are trying to kill me " and then the call ended.this implies there was more than one person doing this!!!

[Litigator--life]

This attorney WANTS Victoria to sue him for defamation, because then he would get to take her deposition. How much fun would that be?

[melaniebell]

Reportedly in highschool, she was in a cult called Team Edward 😮

[JeffMitchell-lvzx]

I bet back in the 1980s, this lawyer was telling parents that dungeons & dragons was satanic

[agron]

This reminds me of the sheriff who had a press conference who claimed the double murder was a witchcraft sacrifice, ended up being the son who killed his mother and brother for the money

[HeatherSky-culm]

Just because she's gothic and into gore doesn't mean she's a cannibal or murderer

[DctrDRK]

I think the scariest part of this story is that the daughter looks just like Rex.

[kabra]

His eyes...are really disturbing. He really looks like a monster!

[chapster]

something very strange is at the bottom of this. It's mind blowing that the lead detective stated that Gilberts 911 call had no signs of her feeling threatened and the police fought for years to keep the call from being released. John Ray was finally successful in getting it released and what the police said couldn't be further from the truth. WTF is going on here?

[sleuthytv]

This was the strangest conference ive ever seen

[someguy]

That's how you get sued for defamation.

[ferociousgumby]

Never trust a lawyer who wears his hair in a scrunchie.

[SBennett]

this press conference is bordering on embarrassing. i cannot believe he had no one around him telling him this makes him look insane
