Episode 152: Long Island Serial Killer - The Victims
Topic starts at: [21:05]
In this episode, we introduce you to one of the most infamous serial murder cases in American History. Known as the Long Island Serial Killer (or the Craig’s List Ripper, or the Gilgo Beach Killer), this person may be responsible for killing at least 18 young women across the US. Victims were found on the south shore of Long Island, NY, specifically at Gilgo Beach and off Ocean Parkway, as well as in Manorville, NY, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, and they all share eerie similarities. The victims were sex workers who advertised their services online, namely on Craig’s List. Most were petite, between 22 to 27-years-old, with hazel or green eyes. Many of the victims were found lying face down near a body of water and wrapped in burlap or cloth with their heads facing east. Some were found bound by either belts or tape (or both), and when a cause of death could be determined, most were killed by strangulation, while others were horribly dismembered and their body parts scattered across multiple locations. Since possibly the mid-1990s, the Long Island Serial Killer operated undetected, and it wasn’t until 2010, in an accidental twist of fate, that this horrible story was finally exposed. Get ready for one of the most heinous, conspiracy-laden, twisty-turney stories you’ll ever hear.
