ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — It has been a month since the bodies of four women were discovered behind a motel and authorities remain tight lipped. "I fully expect the perpetrator or perpetrators who committed these crimes are reading the papers and the news accounts, and I have no intention of placing more information in the public domain beyond that which is necessary for us to acquire information," Atlantic County Prosecutor Jeffrey Blitz said in an interview with The Star Ledger. A multi-agency task force has been formed to catch the killer, however Blitz refuses to comment on whether the murders are the work of a serial killer.
