Rex Heuermann: Long Island Serial Murders Suspect Charged With First-Degree Murders

By Jessica Alex

The Long Island serial killer is a suspected serial killer who is believed to have murdered between 10 and 18 people over nearly 16 years and to have disposed of their bodies in areas on the South Shore of Long Island, New York, United States. He is also known as LISK, the Gilgo Beach Killer, the Manorville Butcher, and the Craigslist Ripper. The majority of those who were killed were sex workers who had advertised their services on Craigslist.After Shannan Gilbert went missing in 2010, the police began searching the region along the Ocean Parkway and near the outlying beach communities of Gilgo and Oak Beach in Suffolk County. The remains of the victims were discovered over several months in 2010 and 2011. In December 2010, the skeletal remains of four individuals who came to be known as "The Gilgo Four" were discovered within a quarter of a mile of each other close to Gilgo Beach. During March and April 2011, six further sets of skeletal remains were discovered in the counties of Suffolk and Nassau. The police suspect that the more recent sets of remains date back farther than the four corpses that were discovered in December 2010.
The bones of Gilbert were recovered a year after the remains of "The Gilgo Four" were uncovered. The police are alleging that she died of accidental drowning, but an independent autopsy found that she may have been strangled to death. The reason for her death is still up for debate.
