Untitled Gilgo Beach serial killings docuseries
originally aired on Netflix
Many of the victims' remains were found over a period of months in 2010 and 2011 during a police search of the area along Ocean Parkway, near Gilgo in Suffolk County, New York. The search was prompted by the disappearance of Shannan Gilbert, who, like many of the known victims, worked as an escort and advertised on Craigslist. The perpetrator in the case is known as the Long Island Serial Killer, the Manorville Butcher, or the Craigslist Ripper. Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect and resident of Massapequa Park on Long Island, has been charged in the murders of six women.
