OAK BEACH, N.Y.—A woman who disappeared in a beach community on New York’s Long Island more than a decade ago, sparking an investigation into a possible serial killer, said “there’s somebody after me” in a newly released 911 tape.

But Suffolk County police said Friday they still believe Shannan Gilbert’s death near Gilgo Beach was a “tragic accident” unconnected to the slayings of multiple other women whose remains were found in the same area in 2010 and 2011.
