In May of 2020, a Colorado woman went missing after she allegedly left her home alone for a Sunday bike ride. That same day, police discovered her bike abandoned in a local ravine, but suspicions led police to believe that the scene may have been staged. But with text, surveillance, and phone ping evidence, police were led to believe that someone in her life was behind what happened to her. This is the story of Suzanne Morphew.

On July 13, 2023, a 59-year-old Long Island architect was arrested in connection to three of the Gilgo Beach Murders. With the release of an indictment document today, a slew of evidence has become available, including cell phone activity and DNA connections. This is the update to episode 313 of Going West on the Gilgo Beach Murders, also known, as the Long Island Serial Killings.
