New info on Long Island serial killings: Now with more transmisogyny and whorephobia

The Suffolk County Police Department has released new information about the victims of the Long Island serial killers. Killers plural - this stretch of Gilgo Beach appears to be a dumping ground. 

And look, the police are ungendering a murdered trans woman!

CNN reports that at a press conference, authorities in Suffolk County shared new details about the victims in the hope that someone will come forward with more information. Police released sketches of what two of the victims might have looked like. The first is the only male victim, an Asian man who was between 17 and 23 when he died. He was murdered five to 10 years ago and was wearing women's clothing at the time.

Commissioner Dormer is again asking sex workers to come forward with information, but he isn't offering real amnesty, just saying that the SCPD "are not interested in [sex workers'] occupation."  Jezebel's take-away is a good one, though:

Since sex workers have the most to fear, and are more likely to have tips on missing associates and johns who behaved bizarrely, perhaps it would have been wise to assure them months ago that they won't face prostitution charges if they come forward.
