A local, Alexandra, told The Guardian –
“Everybody stopped going to the beach at night. It was an intense vibe that someone was committing serial crimes on the island.”
Another local, Calabro, said –
“They thought it was a cop doing the murders at first, and that was repeated and repeated until it became a truth.”
“It’s unsettling, and weird, that there was an evil person a few blocks over.”
Rex has been charged with murder in connection with the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Costello, 27. They were the sex workers whose remains were discovered in 2010 in a marshy area near the beach.
