Im writing this on assignment, not out of pure concern or interest. I've read two articles about this serial killer discovery. One from the nypsot http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/craigslist_murder_rampage_Zkktd4Se9WQoznhlUq4SzN/0 and the other from the daily news http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2010/12/16/2010-12-16_long_island_bodies_search_intensifies_as_police_ramp_up_efforts_expecting_to_fin.html .
The article from the new york post is sloppy. The ideas/facts are all over the place. There's no main idea. There wasn't a smooth transition from topic to topic. The called the alleged serial killer the "the long island serial killer" They believe that one of the victims and her family know her murderer. Then they say that this women might not even be one of the bodies.
The daily news article was a much better read. I had facts. It explained how the missing girl wasn't one of the body's. And they had a quote from the accused. It showed things from his said. How he cooperated with the authorities and now his reputation is ruined. The article discussed that the case will go on and gave alot of information. They inform the people that the remains of bodies are at the city medical examiners office in Manhattan where they will be examined and analyzed by forensic examiners. I was also informed that the bodies were so decomposed that dental records will have to be used to identify them and that extracting DNA from the remains would take at least a month.
In reality both news papers should what until they have factual evidence before the print another article about this topic. The should have the decomposed bodies identified and the correct murderer in hand.
