In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, Netflix’s chilling documentary that begins with a frantic 911 call from Shannon Gilbert and spirals into one of the most disturbing crime investigations in modern history.

We walk you through Shannon’s final movements, the failures that stalled her search, and how a missing-person case accidentally uncovered the Gilgo Four — four young women found wrapped along a lonely stretch of Gilgo Beach. From there, things only get stranger: more victims, a marsh no one bothered to search for 19 months, the Suffolk County power players who kept the FBI out, and the corruption that may have allowed a serial killer to hide in plain sight for years.

We also dive into the case’s most heated debate: Were the Gilgo Beach murders the work of one killer evolving over time… or multiple predators using the same dumping corridor? Victim advocates, law enforcement, and behavioral experts all disagree — and we get into why.

And yes… we talk about Rex Heuermann, the man now charged with several of the Gilgo murders, how investigators finally connected him to the case, and what this means for the victims who still deserve answers.

If you’ve watched Gone Girls (or even if you haven’t), this episode gives you a clear, compassionate, and sometimes jaw-dropping breakdown of the case, the victims, the corruption, and the lingering mysteries surrounding one of America’s most devastating serial-killer investigations.
