  • Police on Long Island, New York, have taken a person into custody in connection with the murders of at least 10 women whose bodies were found on Gilgo Beach over 10 years ago. The body of Shannan Gilbert was first discovered on the beach. Police later ruled her death was not the result of a crime, but while investigators were searching for Gilbert, they found other remains. Erin Moriarty has been covering this story since 2011. This “48 Hours” episode aired on Dec. 12, 2020.

    These true crime shows never seem to understand that people actually wait tables, work at convenience stores, bartend, baby sit, or sell sex, to MAKE money ... not to "make extra money," as they ALWAYS say. Their tone-deafness and out-of-touchness, with the working people of this country, is grossly apparent. 🤦‍♂

      I think sometimes they ask questions that although are obvious are questions that they think enough people may be wondering. I totally agree with you, anyone in tune with the economy today knows people have to have 3 or more jobs sometimes just to make ends meet. But unfortunately there are viewers not in tune who may think "What, she had a job, why couldn't she make ends meet?"
      NO idea if that was why Erin asked the question or if she was out of touch and asked because she was surprised. But just a thought. I was relieved she didn't ask any obnoxious questions about why turn to sex work, so I am inclined to believe the former 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Something definitely happened that scared Shannon so bad that she ran out into the marsh. But it was during winter and when people suffer from hyperthermia they start removing clothes bcuz they feel hot when really their freezing to death.
      The cops finally released the entire 911 call that Shannon made that night, you can find it on RUclips. She definitely sounds intoxicated, but her bf, family, all say she wasn't a drug user. 🤔 She has an odd conversation with her driver during that 911 call. You should listen to it.

      What this show conveniently and intentionally didn’t include was the fact that she was a paranoid schizophrenic who refused to take her medication. She employed a driver/bodyguard who was there that night and testified that the “John” didn’t do anything to her but she was flipping out on him. The “John” begged the driver to get her out of his house because the “date” was off. Her driver couldn’t control her and she ran off .
      The only way she was killed by the serial killer is if he just happened to be in the exact spot in the marsh where she fled to. Possible but pretty unlikely.
      Now that the killer has been found I’m doubtful that we’ll ever know the extent of his crimes simply because there’s no death penalty going to be in play in his trial. Were the death penalty in play it’s possible to offer a deal consisting of life without parole IF he comes clean and provides details of other missing prostitutes in the area.

      Yes they are Sex workers, but you could also go cleaning instead of selling your body. Every woman knows, myself included, that having Sex and going with strange men home puts you at risk of getting murdered, its just how psychology works. Men do not respect Sex workers, they are an easy target to many psychopaths and I am sure you wouldnt be proud telling your daughter is selling her body or is a prostitute when speaking to other people about her. You would be 100 % prouder if she would earn her money in a decent way, even if it is building up a succesfull cleaning company. Before I started med school, I took cleaning jobs as I needed the money asap. I would never sell my body although I had NO money. Its about dignity and respect towards your own body and mental health. However, of course no one should be get murdered in any type of situation just because she puts herself at risk, but make smarter decisions for your life :/

    I love it! After decades of investing and NEVER giving up, a killer is caught ! Just like Gary Ridgeway, Jeffrey Dahmer and Stephanie Lazarus (the LAPD cop) among others! It is awesome to hear and see how these cases come full circle. Good job Long Island NY!

    What makes this even worse is
    1. There could be more victims out there they haven't found yet and
    2. The longer this killer is on the loose the longer they could be killing more people.
    I really don't understand why law enforcement agencies have such a hard time working together. What matters is getting these monsters put away so they can't hurt anyone.

      This did seem to take forever but law enforcement has to make sure that they have enough evidence to move forward with a solid case. Otherwise the arrest is for nothing and the guy will end up back on the streets.

      I'm sure he is issued an apology- and the state also pays the person wrongly accused so he hopefully can use that money to set up a comfortable place to live while settling into living free again. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to get him back his missing freedom z
