The Eastbound Strangler's dumpsite in Atlantic City.

Crime Scene Location in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States.

This is the location where an unidentified serial killer called "the Eastbound Strangler" dumped the remains of four women.

It is situated at 8030 East Black Horse Pike in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

At the time, this was the address of the Golden Key Motel. However, these days, it is an empty lot. The motel was torn down in July of 2015.

On November 20th, 2006, two women were walking their dogs along an access road behind the Golden Key Motel when they spotted one of the victims' bodies.

During a search of the area, the police discovered the remains of three more women.

The four victims were all sex workers who had recently disappeared. Their killer had strangled them to death before placing them face-down in a drainage ditch behind the motel.

Notably, their heads were all facing east. Their shoes and socks had also been removed.

Although the killer did not cover his victims' bodies, the shrubbery beside the access road kept them hidden from view.

Despite a $25,000 reward, "the Eastbound Strangler" has never been identified.

The case remains unsolved to this day.

This property has been demolished.

The site no longer exists. However, you can still visit the location.

Further details.

The Golden Key Motel was badly damaged by flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The remnants of the motel were torn down in July of 2015 as part of a redevelopment plan.

Victims.

The four victims of the Eastbound Strangler were Kim Raffo (35), Barbara Breidor (42), Molly Jean Dilts (20), and Tracy Ann Roberts (23).

At the time of their deaths, they were all working as sex workers to fund their drug habits.

None of the women grew up in Atlantic City. Instead, they had all left their hometowns and relocated to "America's Playground."

With the exception of Breidor, they were all relatively new to the city.

Sadly, it seems as though the victims were heavy crack cocaine users who left their loved ones and drifted towards the bright lights of the casino town.

Once there, they fell into the trap of having to sell their bodies for cash.

Golden Key Motel.

This Google Street View image of the Golden Key was taken in 2013, roughly two years before it was demolished.

Like many motels on the north side of Black Horse Pike, it had a seedy reputation for drugs and prostitution.

In 2012, Hurricane Sandy flooded the Golden Key and several of its competitors.

The flood damage was so extensive that the owners of these businesses were forced to shut their doors for good.

Before the hurricane struck, this was known as a squalid area that attracted sex workers, drug addicts, "johns," and pimps.

Drainage ditch.

The two dogwalkers spotted the first body while they were walking along the access road at the back of the motel.

Notably, there was a vacant lot beside the Golden Key. This lot is connected to the access road via a small pathway.

It is possible that the killer parked his vehicle in that area before dumping his victims' remains in the drainage ditch.

Following the gruesome discovery, a task force of 36 investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies was put together in order to find the killer.

However, despite this considerable manpower, the Eastbound Strangler's identity was never uncovered.

The case remains active to this day.
