Late Night Open Thread: Two Disgraced NYPD Cops are Possible Suspects in Long Island Murders

According to Brad Hamilton at the New York Post, one former and one current member of the NYPD may be suspects in the Long Island serial killer case.

One cop was forced out of the job in the 1990s when his supervisors learned he spent time pursuing hookers and paying street walkers and down-and-out women for sex while he was supposed to be on patrol.

An internal investigation led to his resigning under pressure, one source said.

The other officer still works for the NYPD but was stripped of his gun and badge years ago because he allegedly assaulted a prostitute and got arrested during a sting operation….

The patrolman was allowed to return to the force, they said, though he was placed on modified duty — transferred to a paper-pushing job in Manhattan where he’s not allowed to make arrests or respond to emergencies.

Yikes! That’s creepy. There is no evidence the two cops knew each other. They are not the only suspects investigators are looking at either.

In related news, police suspect the body of a young Asian male found recently beside Ocean Parkway recently may be the remains of a missing college student, Jimmy Tsui. Tsui disappeared without a trace in 1998.

Yim Yeung Tsui (“Jimmy”), 19, a student at Stony Brook University was headed into his junior year. He was last seen leaving his residence in New Hyde Park, New York on 8/26/98 when he disappeared under unknown circumstances. He has not been seen since.

Jimmy Tsui went missing in New York less than 3 months after Yeshiva University student Joshua Bender disappeared.

Apparently, there were a series of mysterious disappearances of young men, and their bodies later turned up in various bodies of water in NYC.
