Case 354: The Gilgo Beach Serial Killings (Part 2/2)
For more than a decade, the investigation into the Gilgo Beach serial killings was stalled by corruption and apathy. But in 2022, a new task force would identify a clue that Suffolk County police had held in their possession since the very beginning of the investigation. A clue that would lead directly to the worst serial killer Long Island had ever seen…

incredible — one of my favorite casefile series yet ❤️
Felix find a good take challenge
You did so much more justice to the other victims (not those known as the Gilgo four) compared to the Netflix documentary gone girls. I finished that and immediately was thinking what about the others? They didn’t even mention them at the end. Thank you for that
Respectful and well-done. May they (and the families) rest in peace.
I’ve been following the Gilgo Beach murders for years, and let me just say, you all did an absolutely amazing job clarifying each victim and breathing life and honor to them. This case is a doozy and the timeline is so long and complicated, but truly, excellent work. I can’t help but agree that Shannan’s death was a tragic accident, but the fact that she was also a sex worker and that her case led to the unraveling of such horrors is so strange and insanely coincidental. With the ongoing advances in forensic science, I can’t help but think about all the uncaught killers who lose sleep every single night, wondering when the truth will catch up to them.
Another beautifully written offering
Those poor families and I’m grateful the police and DA were all changed.
Thank you! Can’t wait 🙏🤞🫠😇🫣🤦🏻♀️🤩😎💕✌️🍦
Sad that they regard a homicide clearance rate of 74% as good. Comparison between US and Australia: The US has 13 times Australia's population. The US has 6 times Australia's homicide rate. The US has a clearance rate of 50% compared to Australia's 90%. Together, these stats mean that the US has roughly 400 unsolved homicides for every 1 in Australia.
Move to Australia then?
Great research and reporting, as always. One minor correction: Theodore Heuermann served in the U.S. Army Air Forces (not the U.S. Air Force); the Air Force didn’t come into being until 1947.
