Thirteen Victims. One Quiet Monster. A Decade of Silence.
For more than a decade, the marshes of Gilgo Beach held a secret: the remains of women who vanished along Long Island's highways. Their disappearances were dismissed, delayed, or ignored-until the sand gave up its dead.
In Buried in the Sand, true crime author Linda Davidson unravels one of America's most chilling cases: the hunt for the Long Island Serial Killer. From the haunting 911 call of Shannan Gilbert to the discovery of the "Gilgo Four," from early suspects and dead ends to the shocking arrest of Rex Heuermann, this book traces the investigation that revealed how easily predators hide in plain sight.
Inside you'll find:
The stories of the victims-daughters, sisters, mothers-whose lives were cut short.
The failures, corruption, and blind spots that allowed a killer to thrive in silence.
The digital breadcrumbs-burner phones, DNA, search history-that finally cracked the case.
The looming trial that could expose even darker truths.
More than a story about a killer, Buried in the Sand is a story about the women who should never have been forgotten-and the legacy of a case that forces us to ask: Who else?
Gripping, meticulously researched, and unflinching, this is not just true crime. It is a call to remember.
