Megan Waterman

Megan Waterman was last seen on June 6, 2010, at 1:30 am leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, NY. She had been staying in a Holiday Inn Express on Expressway Drive South. Security cameras recorded Megan in the hotel lobby and later exiting the building. The footage was released in April of 2022.

Waterman lived in Scarborough, Maine and while she was in New York she called several times a day to speak to her young daughter. The last call was made on the night of June 5.

Megan's body was discovered on December 13, 2010, beside Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach. Medical examiners determined that she had been strangled.

On April 16, 2011, police seized the laptop of Waterman's boyfriend/pimp, Akeem Cruz, to search for records of clients that could lead them to the killer. In April 2012, Cruz pled guilty to federal charges of transporting women across state lines to meet clients for sex and was sentenced to three years in prison.
