The Gilgo Beach serial killer case has haunted New York's Long Island community for more than a decade, ever since the first of multiple bodies were discovered along Ocean Parkway in December 2010.

More than a decade later, in July 2023, Massapequa Park local Rex Heuermann was then dramatically arrested as he left his office in midtown Manhattan.

Now, Daily Mail Senior Crime Reporter Ruth Bashinsky has closely examined the intricate details surrounding the Gilgo Beach Murders in a new crime show - including her own haunting 'encounter' with the suspect.

Heuermann has been charged with the murders of seven women on Long Island between 1993 and 2010. He denies all wrongdoing.

The first episode of Daily Mail's True Crime show details how on May 1st, 2010, 23-year-old escort Shannan Gilbert made a frantic phone call to police after leaving a client’s home on Long Island.

She sprinted into the brush along Ocean Parkway and was never heard from again. In the search for Shannan, investigators discovered the remains of several other missing women along the same stretch of road on Long Island, kicking off a nationwide hunt for a serial killer.

Crazy he got away with it from 1993-2023

Reminds one of the Dateline stories about women who were approached by Ted Bundy, who gave them one of his stories about having lost a dog, or a broken down car - and yet avoided his trap.

I’ve heard serial killers go after prostitutes, because it is far less likely that anyone will report them as being a missing person.
