Investigators continued to find more bodies, but the remains differed from those of the "Gilgo Four".

Police found three more victims in the area between Oak Beach and Gilgo Beach, bringing the total count of victims to eight.

Investigators identified the victims as Jane Doe Number 6, a baby girl and an Asian man.

Investigators then say they believe they are looking for three, if not four, killers.

"This is around the time that it got complicated to tell this story," reporter Josh Einiger recalled.

We shed light on this complex stage of the story.

Shannan Gilbert's disappearance in 2010 sparked the discovery of 11 bodies on and near Gilgo Beach on Long Island.

"One of the most significant things I've ever heard at any kind of public official say, I think it was the first full day after that first report that we did," recalled Einiger. "There was a press conference with the man who was then the police commissioner. And he said something that to this day, I remember everything about what he said and how he said it."

It began on a regular garden variety day in December, when Eyewitness News reporter Josh Einiger and his photographer, Tony Saturno, were covering stories in Suffolk County.

"We were on our way back and we got a call from the desk - saying 'there's a crime scene, there's a maybe body discovered', way down south on Ocean Parkway. Go check it out," Einiger said.

When they arrived at the scene, it was cold and pitch black. There were four crime scenes along the beach and spotlights set up.

"It was clear at that point that it was something," recalled Einiger.

Nobody quite understood it was something that we'd be talking about over a decade later.

Few situations exist in which one can draw a parallel to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11.

But, retired NYPD detective Michael Prate said one does stick out in his mind - the murder of Henryk Siwiak in Brooklyn during the last few minutes of that tragic day.

Siwiak, 46, a recent Polish immigrant, was supposed to be at his first night at a new job at a grocery store in Brooklyn.

He got on the A train and that's where he made a fatal error.

If you know anything about the murder of Henryk Siwiak, call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
