...Kolker, author of Lost Girls, also believes that SCPD should have worked more closely with the FBI, and sooner, and says he thinks the department's "dithering was of great help to the person or people responsible for these murders."

"The Suffolk County police weren't prepared for the magnitude of this case, and the bigger it got, the more they seemed to retrench. They took several steps to downplay the case with the public," he says. "It's clear to me that if these victims came from a different social strata, the police would have worked harder and faster."
