Untitled Gilgo Beach serial killings docuseries
originally aired on Netflix
The Gilgo Beach serial killings were a series of murders spanning from the early 1990s until 2011. 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 the remote beach town of 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. Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect and resident of Massapequa Park on Long Island, has been charged in the murders of six women.
