text: In October 2006, the body of sex worker Lisa Marie French, 39, of Casselberry was found in Sanford, Florida, behind a warehouse. Police first reported that French had been strangled to death and was a possible victim of the Daytona Beach Killer, but autopsy results were inconclusive in regards to the cause of her death; however, serial rapist Jerry Lee Williams Jr., whom authorities accused of attacking six women and killing two, pleaded guilty to raping and suffocating French and was sentenced to life in prison.
  The Orlando Sentinel reported in 2010 that, "According to the FBI, the four killings are among 28 in Florida that are unsolved and connected to serial killings that the bureau suspects were committed by long-haul truckers. Those include 19 deaths along the Interstate 4 corridor between Tampa and Daytona Beach...", but it also noted that "all but one local law-enforcement agency denies any serial-killer cases on its books."
  Long Island serial killer
  Between December 2010 and April 2011, the bodies of ten women were found buried under numerous beaches along Long Island, New York. All the women that were found had engaged in prostitution, similar to the killings in Daytona Beach. This prompted theories to suggest both sets of murders could have been perpetrated by the same person, and some people also hinted a possible connection to the Eastbound Strangler, an Atlantic City killer that murdered four women in 2006. If it were to be true, then that meant an unidentified serial killer was responsible for up to 18 murders across the East Coast of the United States between 1996 and 2010.
