![]() ![]() Sherre Gilbert says maybe her sister died after that, an accident, and someone (or someones) took her body and dumped it on the marsh, scattering her belongings along the way to make it appear she wandered there herself. She says she believes someone found her sister after she tried to get help at the house of the woman who made the third 911 call and potentially drugged her to calm her down since she had become hysterical. Sherre Gilbert has her own ideas about what happened. She didn't respond at some moments - and screamed at others. ![]() In describing the 911 tapes, they acknowledge she was at times coherent. They believe she got disoriented and succumbed to the elements. Suffolk County law enforcement has said they don't believe Gilbert was killed by a person at all. While 10 sets of remains were discovered between December 2010 and April 2011, investigators believe the first four - all missing escorts who had advertised their services on Craigslist, all strangled, wrapped in burlap sacks and dumped within a quarter-mile stretch of Ocean Parkway - were killed by one person. Their prevailing theory is that Gilbert's case is separate from the bodies that were found in the search for her. The search for her led to the discovery of four women in burlap sacks in a matter of days Shannan Gilbert had called 911 and said someone was trying to kill her. In sharing the never-before-heard 911 calls in their entirety on Friday, years after being court-ordered to do so, cops offered an analysis alongside the audio - and reiterated the theory that has riled Shannan Gilbert's family and advocates ever since her remains were found in late 2011. Suffolk County police argue it makes sense to them. So that leads me to believe - why would she then go into the marsh? That to me just doesn't make any sense." She was coherent enough to knock on people's doors. She was coherent enough to stay on a phone call for over 20 minutes. ![]() Something happened to her that night," the sister continued. "What's the motive, what's the agenda behind this? It doesn't matter if people think that she's a victim of the Long Island serial killer. "I just feel like this just reaffirms what their initial theory was." Richard Dormer, who was Suffolk County police commissioner at the time, "was already telling everybody that she potentially died an accidental death - some drug-induced paranoia, ran into the marsh and died even before she was found," Sherre Gilbert said. What transpired on the 911 recordings involving the 24-year-old woman the last night she was seen alive was kept secret for the 12 years until Suffolk police shared them Friday, part of an ongoing effort at transparency around the Gilgo Beach case. and I just feel like it's a way to just confirm what they've always said," Sherre Gilbert said of the longstanding contention her sister's death was, as Suffolk police say, a "tragic accident." She spoke Tuesday to reporters for the first time in years, and though she says s he didn't listen to the recently released 911 calls - there were three of them made May 1, 2010, including a near 22-minute one from Shannan herself - Sherre Gilbert was adamant local authorities "dropped the ball from the beginning." Her sister, Sherre Gilbert, intensely disagrees. Suffolk detectives have long said Gilbert wasn't one of those victims. Her remains were found not far away about a year and a half later - but four bodies, specifically, recovered in December 2010 amid the search for Gilbert exposed a possible killer. Shannan Gilbert disappeared in Oak Beach, a quiet gated community off Suffolk County's Ocean Parkway, on May 1, 2010, after meeting with a client. The sister of a 23-year-old escort from New Jersey whose 2010 disappearance on Long Island sparked an investigation that led to the discovery of nearly a dozen sets of remains and a search for a possible serial killer blasted the Suffolk County police department Tuesday over the case following the release of her 911 calls last week. ![]()
