Long Island, New York—known for its scenic coastlines, quiet suburbs, and elite vacation spots like the Hamptons—is a place where life seems idyllic. But beneath the charm and beauty lies a disturbing truth: this region has long been stalked by darkness. Serial killers have left their mark here before… and one of the most chilling was a man named Robert Shulman. Between 1991 and 1995, Shulman lived in the quiet town of Hicksville with his brother. By day, he worked a steady job at the post office—just another ordinary man blending into an ordinary neighborhood. To outsiders, he seemed to be building a modest, uneventful life. But behind closed doors… a monster was lurking. What unfolded in those years would shock even the most hardened detectives. A trail of brutality, hidden in plain sight, was growing. And no one knew that the man sorting mail by day was committing horrors by night—acts so vile, so grotesque, they would leave a permanent scar on Long Island's history.
