I interview Viktor Veltstra, board member of the Trans Doe Task Force, about the Gilgo Beach/Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) case and the ongoing efforts to identify a (potentially) trans LISK victim as well as two others who have yet to be identified. Viktor and I also discuss the essential work the Trans Doe Task Force is doing in helping to identify other trans and LGBTQ+ "Does," and what you the listener can do to help the Task Force continue its work.
