CASE DEEP DIVE: The Long Island Serial Killer Case investigation

The case of the Long Island Serial Killer went unsolved for more than a decade. In December 2010 near Gilgo Beach on Ocean Drive, a shocking discovery - the badly decomposed bodies of four women were found, each wrapped in burlap.

Victims: Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello and Maureen Brainard-Barnes would become known as the Gilgo Four.

The case first started as a missing persons case of 24 year old Shannon Gilbert who was an escort from New Jersey. She disappeared after a out-call with a man in Oak Beach, near Gilgo. Her remains were discovered in 2011.

In 2023 an arrest in the case. 59 year old architect from Manhattan Rex Heuermann was arrested for three of the four murders. 

Prosecutors say a combination of DNA evidence, cell tower data and witness descriptions made him the prime suspect in at least three of the Long Island killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders.

LOST INTERVIEW: Sister of murdered actress Sharon Tate Speaking Out over fear of Manson Followers being released from prison.

Matt Johnson opens the TRUE CRIME VAULT for his interview with Debra Tate. (Note: It’s an older interview but fascinating with lesser known facts. Including: Tate smuggled herself into the L.A. County jail and looked Charles Manson in the eyes after he was arrested.)

In July 2023, Manson Family Cult follower Leslie Van Houten was released from state prison in Corona California. 

The 73 years old was convicted of brutally killing Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in 1969. During a parole hearing she admitted to holding Rosemary down with a pillow case as Leno was murdered in the room next door. Then, Charles “TEX” Watson and Van Houten stabbed Rosemary 16 times.

The Manson Murders remain a life sentence for family and friends of the victim’s. Tate is an outspoken victim’s right’s advocate and runs a website to keep other living Manson Family members from being paroled. 

In 2017 Cult Leader Charles Manson died behind bars of natural causes. He was 83.
