Rape, sodomy, strangulation, stabbing, murder, and dismemberment. So were some of Joel David Rifkin's favorite "hobbies" that he inflicted on generally medicine addicted or alcoholic prostitutes from 1988 to 1993. Law enforcement finally caught up to Rifkin on June 28, 1993, when express troopers spotted him driving his pickup truck without certificate plates on the Southern Status Parkway. A high-speed chase concluded in Mineola, New York, when he crashed into a utility pole directly in front of the courthouse where he eventually stood trial. Troopers diagnosed a foul scent from the trunk of the vehicle. It came from the corpse of his final sufferer: prostitute and dancer Tiffany Bresciani, 22. A look inside the tarp exposed the woman's decomposing body. Motorist Joel Rifkin, now in handcuffs, helped identify the corpse as 22-year-old Tiffany Bresciani. She was a prostitute, he advised the officers. I had formed intimacy with her, and then I wiped out her. He was on his way to dump your body near Republic Air port, he discussed, when he was spotted by Ruane and Spaargaren. The case was open-and-shut...but it was far from simple. In guardianship, Rifkin soon began confessing to other homicides, a complete of 17, including Bresciani. The interviews he provided to the police were so horrifying it sickened even the most seasoned officers and detectives. In The Charming Drifter, writer Brian Lee Tucker provides an inside look into the mind of one of the most vicious serial killers in New York record and a nightmarish glance into the final occasions of his victim's lives.
