    22. WTAF?! Part 3 - Bodies, Bodies, Bodies

    Special guest alert - it's Parker! You've heard her research out of our mouths, now hear it out of hers as she takes us through the discovery of the multiple bodies and victims of the Long Island Serial Killer. After the late, determined and powerful Mari Gilbert demanded police search for her daughter Shannan - Suffolk County police deployed one officer and his dog to comb the area along Ocean Parkway for any signs of her daughter. Little did they know that this effort would ultimately lead them to finding over 9 sets of remains belonging to victims whose lives were cut way too short. The case remains unsolved, with ongoing investigations and a suspect in custody. This case is active, and in part 4 we'll discuss the most up to date facts of the case to include what led police to their main suspect. **Special thanks to Parker for her outstanding research on all parts of this case!** SOURCES: https://abcnews.go.com/US/officials-release-new-info-gilgo-beach-victim- investigation/story?id=113686884 https://abc7ny.com/post/officials-release-new-info-gilgo-beach-victim-investigation-rex- heuermann-charged-6-murders/15309653/ https://apnews.com/article/gilgo-beach-long-island-serial-killer- dd72eacb4c5d24b8bfc059eea805847d https://www.cbsnews.com/news/long-island-serial-killings-investigation-timeline-48- hours/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-expected-identify-another-victim-gilgo- beach-killings-source-sa-rcna98125 https://www.newsweek.com/shannan-gilbert-valerie-mack-gilgo-beach-killer-1909217 https://www.oxygen.com/true-crime-buzz/lost-girls-who-were-the-victims-of-the-long- island-serial-killer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgo_Beach_serial_killings#Police_investigations DOCUMENTARY: Gone Girls PODCASTS: Crime Junkie

    20. WTAF?! Part 2 - The Death of Shannan Gilbert

    We are so back after a brief hiatus! Join Ashley for a solo journey this episode where she tells the story of the death of Shannan Gilbert, a 24-year-old woman who went missing in May of 2010. Shannan was working as an escort in New York when she disappeared in May of 2010 after booking a client in Oak Beach, Long Island. In an extensive efforts to find Shannan, police would ultimately wind up finding several remains scattered along the Ocean Parkway. These bodies would be later connected to the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK), before police found Shannan's remains in a marsh, December 2011. The circumstances surrounding her death remain controversial and unsolved. The cause of her death was ruled as undetermined, with nothing definitively indicating if she was a victim of LISK or if her death was accidental. Shannan's disappearance led to the findings of multiple bodies in Gilgo Beach however, and would contribute to the broader narrative of the LISK investigation. Stay tuned for part 3 when we dive in to the Long Island Serial Killer. ***SPECIAL thanks to Parker for bringing us this content***.
