The Truth About The Atlantic City Serial Killer

On the morning of November 20, 2006, just a few miles away from the Atlantic City skyline and its famed boardwalk, a shocking discovery was made behind the Golden Key Motel located in West Atlantic City. Two women walking near the area caught sight of a body in a ditch and called police. The body was identified as 35-year-old Kim Raffo. As investigators closed off the scene to canvass the area for clues, they made more tragic discoveries. The bodies of three other women would turn up by the end of the day: 42-year-old Barbara Breidor, 20-year-old Molly Dilts, and 23-year-old Tracy Ann Roberts. All women were assumed to be sex workers; all had been killed by strangulation.

Almost 15 years since the four victims were found, no arrests have been made. No new clues have led to solid information in Long Island, either.

Even though some might compare the killers in Atlantic City and Long Island, there's a standout difference in how the Atlantic City serial killer left their victims. The victims of were all found behind the motel, strangled, and their bodies were positioned eastward. Police found them all barefoot, and a few hundred feet from each other, reports NJ.com. This helped investigators find all victims that same day. In the Long Island serial killer case, strangulation as the cause of death was determined for just a few victims, and the discovery wasn't made until 2010 — four years after the Atlantic City case.
