The Long Island Serial Killer, also known as the Gilgo Beach Killer or the Craigslist Ripper, is an unidentified serial killer who is believed to be responsible for the murders of several individuals whose remains were discovered in and around the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island, New York.The case first came to light in December 2010 when a police officer and his dog were searching for a missing woman and stumbled upon the remains of Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had disappeared earlier that year. As the investigation progressed, additional sets of remains were found in the same area, leading authorities to believe they had stumbled upon a serial killer's dumping ground.Over the course of the investigation, the remains of a total of at least 10 victims, mainly female sex workers, were discovered. The victims were identified as follows:
  1. Maureen Brainard-Barnes: She was a 25-year-old woman from Connecticut who went missing in July 2007. Her remains were found in December 2010.
  2. Melissa Barthelemy: She was a 24-year-old woman from New York who disappeared in July 2009. Her remains were also discovered in December 2010.
  3. Megan Waterman: She was a 22-year-old woman from Maine who went missing in June 2010. Her remains were found in December 2010.
  4. Amber Lynn Costello: She was a 27-year-old woman from North Carolina who went missing in September 2010. Her remains were discovered in December 2010.
  5. Shannan Gilbert: She was a 24-year-old sex worker from New Jersey who disappeared in May 2010. Her disappearance initially led to the discovery of the other victims' remains.

In this episode, we hear from the author of Lost Girls, Robert Kolker as he discusses what it was like talking with family members as he researched his book and what he took away from those interviews and the rest of his work on the case. In his book, he paints a vivid picture of each of the victims and gives us a look into their lives and one thing is for sure: Every one on of these victims was loved by their family and friends and each one of them is dearly missed. It was that love and the relentless pursuit of justice that eventually led to the arrest of Rex Heuermann.
