On June 26, Robert Eccleston appeared before the Ocean Beach Village Justice Court in shackles and chains, escorted by Suffolk County Sheriffs to answer for an outstanding bench warrant dating back to 2010. Eccleston is among 13 people arrested in connection with the East Patchogue missing teen case, which kept Long Islanders along the Great South Bay riveted to news reports throughout the winter of 2024/25 as sordid details about her disappearance in December continued to unfold. She was found on January 3 in a boat moored at Islip Hamlet’s Whitecap Marina.
