Now that there was a crime attached, police were interested, but these women were soon reduced to a single dimension. Their profession turned them into plot devices in a true-crime story line. The Gilgo Beach victims were always more than escorts:
Cann spoke in a broken voice about the police who brushed off any claim that her sister was actually missing; the fruitless trips Cann’s husband and brother took to New York to search for her; the difficulty, because she was an escort, of even getting Brainard-Barnes’ name onto an official list of missing persons. She talked about the children her sister left behind — an 11-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy — and she admitted that she was surprised by her sister’s escort work.
“I don’t like how they’re talking about her,” Cann told me. “I understand they only know what she was down there doing, and that’s what they look at her as. But it doesn’t matter what she did. She was still a mother. She still meant the world to her daughter, she meant the world to me.” Flash forward a decade, to July 14, 2023. Cann was on Long Island, standing with her husband at a news conference and announcing an arrest in the case that had haunted her for 16 years. Next to them were the relatives of two other victims: Barthelemy’s sister, Amanda, and Waterman’s daughter, Lili.
Just as there is no single form of poverty, there also is no distinct set of family patterns or life circumstances that leads to the choices these women made. No formula exists to explain what brought them to Gilgo Beach. Human trafficking was a factor for one of them, addiction for another.

For Years, Quiet Gilgo Beach Was a Place of ‘Murders and Mayhem’For a killer looking to hide evidence of his crimes, it was the perfect spot. The straight, quiet stretch of Ocean Parkway would give him plenty of time to listen and watch for coming cars. Just off the road, a tall bramble of bushes and weeds grew so thick and thorny, even trained cadaver-sniffing dogs could barely penetrate it. It was here that the bodies of four women were found in December 2010, wrapped in heavy burlap, on a gentle slope that falls away to the quiet marshland of Gilgo Beach
