The Long Island Serial Killings, also known as the Gilgo Beach Murders or the Craigslist Ripper case, is an unsolved serial murder investigation centered around the discovery of numerous human remains on Long Island, New York. The case has been ongoing since 2010 and remains unsolved as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.The initial discovery took place on December 11, 2010, when police were searching for a missing woman named Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had gone to meet a client in Oak Beach, Suffolk County. During the search, police found the remains of four women in the vicinity of Gilgo Beach. These victims were later identified as Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello, all of whom were also involved in sex work.As the investigation progressed, additional remains were discovered in the same area. In March and April 2011, six more sets of remains were found, along with the remains of an unidentified toddler, who came to be known as "Baby Doe" or "Jane Doe #6." The additional victims were identified as Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack, Jane Doe #6 (the toddler), and an Asian male dressed in women's clothing.The police discovered that many of the victims had connections to the sex trade and had advertised their services on websites like Craigslist. This led investigators to suspect that a serial killer, dubbed the "Long Island Serial Killer" or "Craigslist Ripper," was specifically targeting sex workers in the area.The case gained significant media attention and sparked a large-scale investigation involving local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.The search for additional evidence continued over the years, including the use of cadaver dogs, aerial searches, and the excavation of specific areas. Despite these efforts, no further bodies were found.The investigation faced various challenges and controversies. Shannan Gilbert's disappearance and death were initially treated as unrelated to the serial killings. However, her death was later attributed to accidental drowning.The mishandling of the case and the delayed response to her initial 911 call raised questions about the police's handling of the investigation.In September 2017, the Suffolk County Police released new evidence, including photos of a belt that they believed may have belonged to the killer. They also released a recording of an anonymous phone call made by a man claiming to have information about the murders. Then in July of 2023, everything changed as Rex Heuermann, an architect was arrested for the crimes.In this episode we hear from an escort who had a run in with Heuermann who says that she got bad vibes from him right away and that he loved talking about the Gilgo Beach murders. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonamil.comsource:Escort who dated Gilgo Beach suspected killer Rex Heuermann gives eerie details of nearly becoming one of his victims as he talked about murders like it 'was enjoyable for him' | Daily Mail Online
The Gilgo Beach murders refer to a string of killings uncovered in December 2010, when police searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert discovered multiple sets of human remains along a stretch of Ocean Parkway on Long Island, New York. Over time, investigators identified at least ten sets of remains, including four women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello—collectively known as the “Gilgo Four.” These women were sex workers who had advertised services online and were believed to have been targeted in similar ways. Their remains were all found within a quarter mile of each other, suggesting the work of a single serial killer.The case quickly grew more complex as other bodies were found in the vicinity, including those of men and a toddler, raising questions about whether multiple killers were involved. The murders became one of the most notorious unsolved cases in the U.S., plagued by investigative missteps, accusations of police corruption, and years of stagnation. In 2022, renewed investigative efforts using modern forensic techniques and cellphone data led authorities to Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was arrested in 2023 and charged with several of the murders. His arrest has provided long-awaited answers, but the full scope of the killings—and whether all the victims can be linked to one perpetrator—remains unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Rex Heuermann is a Long Island architect who became the central figure in the Gilgo Beach murder case after his arrest in July 2023. Beforehand, he lived quietly in Massapequa Park while running his own firm, RH Consultants & Associates, and presenting himself as an ordinary suburban professional. That façade shattered when investigators tied him to multiple sets of remains found along Ocean Parkway, beginning with the “Gilgo Four.” Over time, charges against him expanded to seven women whose disappearances spanned decades, with prosecutors pointing to consistent patterns in how and where the victims were left. His arrest reignited one of the country's most infamous cold cases, exposing years of investigative stagnation and raising difficult questions about how he managed to operate undetected.Despite the mounting evidence, Heuermann has pleaded not guilty and fought the charges. Judges have ruled that all seven murder counts will be tried together, rejecting attempts by the defense to separate them. The case has also broken legal ground, with courts approving the use of advanced DNA technologies such as whole-genome sequencing to build the prosecution's case. His looming trial will not only determine his fate but also test the credibility of cutting-edge forensic tools and the ability of prosecutors to convince a jury that a seemingly unremarkable man led a secret life as a predator.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In May 2010, Shannan Gilbert vanished after calling 911 from a client's home in Oak Beach, Long Island, claiming someone was chasing her. What began as a missing-person investigation for Shannan unexpectedly sparked one of the largest homicide probes in Long Island's history. Her disappearance prompted authorities to expand the search area, leading to the discovery in December 2010 of four bodies—later known as the “Gilgo Four”—which revealed a potential serial killing spree along Ocean Parkway. Although Shannan's death was eventually ruled accidental by drowning, her absence served as the catalyst for uncovering these victims and thrusting the broader case into the public eye.Shannan's mother, Mari Gilbert, harnessed her grief into unyielding activism, pressuring law enforcement for accountability and greater transparency in her daughter's case—and by extension, the larger investigation. Her persistent advocacy earned Shannan the label of an "unintended hero": it was her disappearance that opened the door to solving—or at least recognizing—the pattern of murders that might otherwise have remained hidden. Mari's efforts kept media and public attention focused on the victims, laid groundwork for further forensic investigation, and ultimately helped bring about a suspect's arrest in the long-standing Gilgo murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mari Gilbert's quest to find daughter Shannan led to arrest of Rex Heuermann | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A pizza crust, burner phones, and a double life exposed. Dr. Phil unpacks how investigators tracked the alleged Gilgo Beach killer hiding in plain sight. For over a decade, the Gilgo Beach murders haunted Long Island. Then, one discarded pizza box and a string of burner phones cracked the case wide open. In this episode, Dr. Phil takes you inside the breakthrough moment that led to the arrest of Rex Heuermann, the Long Island architect accused of living two lives: family man by day, alleged serial predator by night. Using detailed evidence, Dr. Phil breaks down the psychological profile of a meticulous offender who allegedly studied investigations, collected “trophies,” and planned his crimes like blueprints. From DNA matches on a pizza crust to chilling handwritten notes, we analyze how decades of overlooked clues, police corruption, and public pressure finally led investigators to their suspect.

A missing woman, a chilling 911 call, and four bodies buried in burlap. Dr. Phil investigates how the Gilgo Beach murders began and why no one listened until it was too late. Gilgo Beach was supposed to be a summer escape but it hid a nightmare. When 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert vanished after a frantic 911 call, her disappearance led police to a shocking discovery: four women buried in burlap along a desolate stretch of Long Island highway. In this chilling first installment, Dr. Phil unpacks the first wave of victims, dubbed the “Gilgo Four” and the mounting failures that let a killer stay in the shadows for years. From ignored red flags to disturbing patterns in the victims' profiles, he analyzes how society's bias against sex workers enabled this predator to hunt unnoticed. Why were these women targeted? Why was Shannan's cry for help dismissed? And what does the killer's choice of victims say about how we value some lives over others? Dr. Phil doesn't just follow the evidence he explores the psychology behind the crime. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding one of the most haunting serial murder cases in American history and what it reveals about justice, vulnerability, and the darkness that hides in plain sight.

When news that the bodies of four female sex workers had been found on Long Island's Gilgo Beach, it captured the attention of not only the nation but the world. Director Liz Garbus examines this gripping true crime case in “Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer” (now streaming on Netflix) and shines a light not only on the families struggling to serve justice for their lost loved ones, but also the rampant corruption within the Suffolk County Police Department and DA's office. Liz talks to me about what brought her back to this story after writing and directing a “based-on-true-events” feature film about the crime, how the press was instrumental in keeping the case alive, what it was like looking into the twisted mind of indicted suspect Rex Heuermann, and where things go with the case from here.

The Long Island Serial Killings, also known as the Gilgo Beach Murders or the Craigslist Ripper case, is an unsolved serial murder investigation centered around the discovery of numerous human remains on Long Island, New York. The case has been ongoing since 2010 and remains unsolved as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.The initial discovery took place on December 11, 2010, when police were searching for a missing woman named Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had gone to meet a client in Oak Beach, Suffolk County. During the search, police found the remains of four women in the vicinity of Gilgo Beach. These victims were later identified as Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello, all of whom were also involved in sex work.As the investigation progressed, additional remains were discovered in the same area. In March and April 2011, six more sets of remains were found, along with the remains of an unidentified toddler, who came to be known as "Baby Doe" or "Jane Doe #6." The additional victims were identified as Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack, Jane Doe #6 (the toddler), and an Asian male dressed in women's clothing.The police discovered that many of the victims had connections to the sex trade and had advertised their services on websites like Craigslist.This led investigators to suspect that a serial killer, dubbed the "Long Island Serial Killer" or "Craigslist Ripper," was specifically targeting sex workers in the area.The case gained significant media attention and sparked a large-scale investigation involving local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. The search for additional evidence continued over the years, including the use of cadaver dogs, aerial searches, and the excavation of specific areas.Despite these efforts, no further bodies were found.The investigation faced various challenges and controversies. Shannan Gilbert's disappearance and death were initially treated as unrelated to the serial killings. However, her death was later attributed to accidental drowning. The mishandling of the case and the delayed response to her initial 911 call raised questions about the police's handling of the investigation.Then on July 13th, 2023 an arrest in the case was finally made. The man arrested? Rex Heuermann. In this episode, we hear from Dave Schaller, the man who gave the police the tip about who Heuermann was over a decade ago and even gave them a description of the vehicle the alleged serial killer was driving.(commercial at 9:42)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:He came face to face with an alleged serial killer. 12 years later, his tip helped crack the case | AP News

In a recent press conference, attorney John Ray unveiled chilling details about Victoria Heuermann, daughter of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer. Ray presented a series of sadistic images created by Victoria that bore eerie similarities to the brutal murders her father has been charged with. Rex Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, was initially arrested in July 2023 for the murders of four women, known as the "Gilgo Four," whose remains were discovered in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway over a decade ago. Last week, Heuermann was charged with two more murders, those of Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. Despite the mounting evidence and charges, Heuermann displayed no emotion during his recent court appearances. During the press conference, Ray highlighted several of Victoria's disturbing artworks and re-posted images from her Tumblr account. These images included graphic depictions of dismembered body parts and cannibalistic fantasies, which Ray compared to the alleged methods of the Gilgo Beach murders. "The evidence that we have suggests that we have been sold a story by the Heuermann family," Ray stated. He emphasized that Victoria, who often appeared innocent in public, had a darker side revealed through her online presence. "Victoria's true self is a very different self," Ray added. Ray suggested that Victoria, now 27, might be linked to some of the murders her father is charged with. He proposed that Victoria could have been surrounded by these gruesome acts and become desensitized, a concept forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato referred to as "normalization." Brucato also mentioned the possibility of Victoria suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, where a victim develops psychological bonds with their captor or abuser. "The jury is out on what this was about," Brucato remarked, noting that about 20% of serial killers operate in groups. He drew parallels to cases like David Parker Ray, the "Toy-Box Killer," who allegedly tortured and killed numerous women with the help of his daughter. Ray further questioned the certainty of District Attorney Raymond Tierney's announcement that hair evidence found on some of Rex Heuermann's victims was transferred by him. Ray speculated that the hairs could belong to Victoria herself, which might "tip the card a little bit." Victoria's mother, Asa Ellerup, and Victoria have both deleted their social media accounts, according to Ray. This move came after Ray's office discovered and revealed seven disturbing images from Victoria's alleged Tumblr blog, which she had failed to erase entirely. Ray displayed one image of a hanged person missing a shoe, a detail eerily similar to the discovery of Sandra Castillo's body. Another image depicted remains that appeared "half-eaten," reflecting the cannibalistic interests attributed to Victoria. Other images showed severed limbs, mirroring the dismemberment found in some of Rex Heuermann's alleged victims. Dr. Brucato compared the Heuermann case to that of John Wayne Gacy, who was initially thought to be a lone wolf but is now believed to have had accomplices. "There is a tendency to think that these people are lone wolves who cannot have connections with other people," Brucato explained. Sherre Gilbert, sister of victim Shannan Gilbert, criticized Ray's press conference on social media, calling it "disrespectful" and urging focus solely on her sister's case. Rex Heuermann's family maintains they were unaware of his double life. Ellerup, who filed for divorce shortly after Heuermann's arrest, continues to assert her estranged husband's innocence. "After 27 years with Mr. Heuermann, Ms. Ellerup maintains the belief that her estranged husband is not capable of committing these heinous acts," stated Ellerup's attorney, Robert Macedonio. As the investigation continues, the revelations about Victoria Heuermann's disturbing artwork and potential involvement in the murders add a new, unsettling layer to the case.

UPDATE: On Thursday, June 6, 2024, about one year following our initial two-part coverage of the Gilgo Beach serial killings, a major development occurred. Rex Heuermann, the main suspect who was arrested in July 2023, now faces new murder charges for the tragic and brutal deaths of two additional women—one whom we discussed during our initial coverage, and another previously unconnected to the Gilgo Beach murders. Additionally, chilling discoveries have been made in Heuermann's home, including new DNA evidence allegedly linking him to these murders. If you've already listened to our coverage of this horrific case, we encourage you to listen again along with the update provided at the top of the episode.

Investigation into Gilgo Beach Murders leading to a 5th indictment. Long Island, New York, investigators have linked a fifth alleged victim to Rex Heuermann, the suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer who was accused last year of murdering four women and dumping their bodies along a remote highway more than a decade ago, sources tell Fox News Digital. The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office declined to comment but acknowledged that Heuermann is due back in court Thursday morning for a previously unscheduled hearing. Unnamed sources told Newsday, the local newspaper, that the suspected serial killer has already been indicted on unspecified charges in connection with new developments in the case. A task force including police K-9s from Suffolk County, the NYPD and New York State uncovered evidence in Manorville in April, a month before investigators returned to Heuermann's house in May for a second search warrant. In July 2023, they arrested Heuermann outside his Manhattan architecture firm and spent nearly two weeks scouring through his home in Massapequa Park, about 20 minutes from where police found the bodies of Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; and Amber Costello, 27, in 2010. Prosecutors later tacked on charges for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, whose remains they found near the others. Collectively, those women are known as the Gilgo Four because they were found close together and under similar circumstances. (Fox News)
In July 2023, Rex Heuermann was arrested and charged with the murders of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Costello. Additional charges came in January 2024 for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Robert Kolker, author of Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery joins the show to talk about the 16-year investigation, the apathy toward sex workers, and the lives and families of the Gilgo Four.
