Moriarty will speak with the friend of escort Amber Costello who is believed to be one of the victims of the so-called Long Island Serial Killer.
Dave Schaller said he believes Costello was not afraid of meeting the client who would kill her. In fact, Schaller says the caller was so persuasive that Costello walked out the door without her purse or even a cell phone.
