What a wonderful sister Maureen had. Just because they worked in that industry doesn’t mean they are throwaway people, they have families that loved them.
If you have Prime, there is a docuseries called the Killing Season, or Killing Fields, and it dives DEEP into these murders. They call him LISK, long Island serial killer, but they believe there are more than one killers.
@@leonabug619Interesting … I’ll have to watch it now. It seems though that this fellow they arrested could have killed all the girls in the cluster - more than 10 or so …
OMG I just watched this 2 days ago and I just scrolled on TikTok and found out that he has been caught!!! 48 Hours please keep us updated with the trial and sentencing when it comes PLEASE!!! Melissa I’m so happy for you, you are one step away from getting the justice you longed for for your sister 🙏🏿
Shannon helped bring these ladies home. So glad an arrest was made today for 4 of the victims. So scary. Prostitution has been around before the Bible. What someone chooses to do for a job doesnt make them less important or that they dont matter because they are loved. They are missed. They are human. It could easily be YOUR sister, mother, friend,etc.
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 🤷🏼♀️
So glad they finally caught this thing. He not only took these women’s lives but also destroyed the lives of their loved ones. I hope it brings just a measure of peace to the families involved.
Suzanne, I agree completely. Hard to imagine what life must be like to have a loved family member just disappear and then after a tortuous wait - end up dead. Just awful. I'm so glad they finally have some answers.
Seeing this Monster on the news today was so shocking , very surprised at how big he is and how small his victims were. Prayers for the families of these young women 🙏🏼
Smaller women are extra vulnerable. Combine small size with some risky business involving being alone with strangers, it’s very dangerous. Absolutely no one deserves to be murdered for it. I just hate hearing about women being victimized.
Maureen’s story is so sad. She was just trying to keep her apartment and her kid. Megan’s daughter is absolutely beautiful and seems like such a smart and mature girl. This is all just so sad. These were all normal girls that just mad bad choices out of desperation. You can tell they all had caring families, which is strange because a lot of the girls in this line of work don’t. I hope they finally get Justice. Shannan’s sister is the one I feel the worst for. She’s been through the most from Shannan being missing to her sister taking their mothers life. I hope she can heal.
@@davisholman8149Most likely because of the negative connotations associated with the word prostitute, since it was always a looked down upon profession in the past.

Arrested Rex Heuerman of Massapequa Park, NY. Big shot Manhattan architect, lives in a rundown house out on LI. Apparently large cache of firearms found on property.
Desperation? You're having a laugh. Gifted with good looks, they chose to use that to make easy money from prostitution instead of working for a living while ignoring the dangers of such an activity.
@@markcynic808do you really think that they would have done this, if they had another chance? sex work is extremly damaging to the mental health and dangerous to the women who do it. the people that truly enjoy doing sex work are a very small minority, more than 90% are either trafficked and forced to do it or are in extremely desperate situations. the vast majority wouldn't do it if they saw any other option.
@technobrain666 Stop making excuses for these criminals. They have more choices than many, but still choose the path of prostitution. They are no different from drug pushers who also sell what certain people want for easy money without taxation and short working hours and who know the risks involved.
Rex Huermann just about as average looking guy, but who is also a serial killer. I don’t trust a stranger, even if they are nice and harmless looking. The ones that can blend well and seem harmless are the scariest.
ESPECIALLY if they are nice and/or harmless looking, what have we learned people? That everyone says- he seemed like a decent guy...and it could never happen here, so the ones that look most upstanding should be most suspect!
alà Jeffrey Dahmer! Prison Justice he will definitely face- says Yoda. Too bad there's no more death penalty in our state. (Lethal injection is meh! IMO when we did have it. The condemned is first knocked out, then the Lethal drug is injected that kills him afterwards kicks in) this guy is prime candidate for 'ol sparky! (where in this method, he'd feel that electric zap!)
As a former sex worker I can positively say that these girls absolutely deserve justice & I am CERTAIN that Rex Heuermann patronized these women. He may have only been charged in 3 deaths but I feel in my heart that he's responsible. He should have been stopped years ago!!!
the clock is ticking for all these killers, as long as law enforcement kept the dna they found in tact, genetic genealogy will help solve a good number of these cases. It is nice to know they are now looking over their shoulders worrying about time running out. God bless law enforcement and all they do. RIP to all those women who lost their lives to this monster.
I'd like to say, as someone who was an active addict for the majority of my life, I have never heard of someone being high, on any kind of drugs, who imagined they were attacked, & fled & stripped off their clothes as they ran. Ridiculous.
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 TH-cam. 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.
Sometimes our society doesn’t allow people to rehabilitate after mistakes. Like the girl with no license.. she was just trying to provide for her child with little options. Empathy is the answer here. Our society needs to change to help those in need. No one wants to do this. They feel forced, and are all still human.
Ive been on 2 County probation for 2 years. I had a wondeful attorney. Without him id be in jail. I had one of Floridas worst PO , that was dirty. Got paid to put me in 3x in 6months. Dirty!! I finished 2 year probation in 4 months. It didnt matter cuz he wanted more. They dont want you to be rehabilitated. They rather have you in a positjon, on the street. Turning tricks to pay them, and ive paid them 50k. On Disability. Sickening. ...when this is over. Id like to work and volunteer, but not in one place. Im leaving this County. All people need help but women need to help women. No other way. They have a womens shelter here called CASA. They male millions at a high end boutique, all donations. Then they dont have ANYTHING to give to any women who need it. 😢
They caught that pig yesterday. And it is an absolute crime that single women in this country have to sell their bodies and risk getting murdered because they cant make a decent living.
@@ci6516the fact that one did is still a travesty . Only in America can you work 40h a week make 500-600 and still be poor. Anywhere else a full-time job = living well
Thank you for having a Gilgo Beach episode ready for us, 48 Hours! Ah, this ep is from 2020. No big! Would love to see the old coverage of this long case.
This is so surreal… it feels like so long ago that I heard about this case for the first time, and in my teenage brain I just did not see how they would possibly ever find person who did this. But it looks like they really got him.. These women were NOT given up on or forgotten.
because some people are more daring than the rest and are not afraid to take risks. until they are caught, such individuals are admired as cocky, courageous people. despicable creatures
They couldn't have been THAT loved. I mean, look where they ended up. I agree, it's a sad story. But they all, apparently, came from rather dysfunctional backgrounds, and may have been searching for a love that, otherwise, they didn't feel.
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.
That’s bc they don’t view the victims as a human being with loved ones.They are viewed as objects. It’s hard to see it the way you put it when you don’t have any humanity (like this serial killer).
@@macnchessplz Yep, that's right. And they're always wrong. It's interesting that the killers really become non-human themselves just by they're thinking.
My own BF doesnt take ME into account. Let alone my family. I've been studying psychology of mentally ill people, for years. I come from it. Im mentally ill (managed & therapy.) But there are types of people who DO NOT FEEL. Cliche that usually they were abused; but even with moments of empathy, they arent the same as us. Narcissists, Psychopaths, Sociopaths, BPD, ...watch Sam Vaknin and its eye opening how people really operate. I've dated Alpha men in my life....believe me its saved me no trouble. People are so very conplex. But murdering people down on their luck. Small women, children, homeless, disabled....just makes me sad. So much potential , many people do have. You'll never see it.
@@Lena-so2lq if he doesn’t take you into account? Don’t make him your husband.He’ll then take you even less into account….and it’ll be harder and more e pensive to end that dynamic.
I Never thought this day would come !!!! Thank god he’s caught, I hope he’s good for Shannan Gilbert and the others too , evil walks among us , *beware* !
RIP Shannan Gilbert & Marí Gilbert (her mother). I hope you’re together now! So heartbreaking for the family to lose two loved ones in such brutal ways. 💕 So happy to hear that the LISK has been arrested! I pray these ladies receive justice and their loved ones receive the answers they’ve been desperately waiting for.
On 07/13/2023 Rex Heuermann, an architect who had lived most of his life in Nassau County and worked in Manhattan, was taken into custody in connection with these killings.
So I was just reading the 32 page indictment and one of the victims - Costello apparently scammed Rex out of money by having him show up for their appt then staging a ruse in which a guy pretending to be her bf showed up causing Rex to leave. He then sent her a text message saying “ that’s not nice …” and then for god knows what reason the victim then decided to see him the next day and DIDN’T take her cellphone. It was this event in which his car was witnessed which leads us to today. Why would you meet up with someone you scammed hundreds of dollars from? Very odd
She was a heroin addict and he offered her $1,500. She was much more than an addict and an escort, RIP Amber, but that's why she was willing to do something so insanely risky after scamming him the night before. The girls with serious addictions end up taking the worst risks, legally and/or safety-wise.
@@markreed1623 I was watching a news few hours ago and they talked about DNA and cellphone pins. Looks like since February they had a suspected name. Press conference at 3:45pm EST today.
Missy... I'm so sorry for the pain you have endured while missing your sister over the years. Yes, of course Maureen mattered, please don't feel we need to be convinced of that! Love, light and healing to you! You are a loving sister, Missy, and Maureen knows how much you love and miss her! Continue to keep her in your heart, always! Warm Hugs to you!
I know it's a low bar but I appreciate not demonizing sex workers. Idc what your morals are, theyre humans that often get seen as deserving of their treatment by society and it is just nice to see the humanity 48 hours and family/friends can bring in reminding us of that fact and shed light on it
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 :/
27:03 Very sad that the mother Mari Gilbert was stabbed to death 227 times in 2016 by her daughter Sarra Gilbert standing behind her at the funeral only a few years after this was filmed.
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
July 14, 2023 Rex Heuermann was taken into custody for some of the Gilgo Beach murders, an unsolved case tied to at least 10 sets of human remains discovered since 2010
I hope this story can help find the identity of the woman with the peach tattoo. The body of the little girl was identified as being her daughter. SOMEONE has to remember tattooing that design, and I refuse to believe a missing woman and her two year old daughter, can just vanish without anyone looking for them. I pray that someone out there, watching this or the news, will come forward.
It is crazy to think her as well as the Asian man (possibly transgender) still haven't been identified! Someone out there MUST love & miss all 3 of them...
The tattoo was remembered but I think it was paid in cash & the identity unknown. It’s understandable that you might not have a lot of details on your tattoo clients, unfortunately 😕
So many women who get trapped in that lifestyle have incredibly big hearts and genuinely loving spirits. Predators who hurt these women loathe themselves and envy the joy they will never have.
Yes I'm glad this is getting attention again. Wish they'd cover the active Chicago serial killer tho. Only small channels cover it. Could save life's if they did.
@@PeachShortcake_ yeah! Been active for years. Hard to find any mainstream on it but so many small channels cover it. Probably don't wanna scare tourists away
After learning about the Franklin Coverup of the 80’s, this case to me shows all the trademark signs of a blackmail ring involving very prominent people in that area and possibly even beyond that area. It will likely never be “officially” solved for that very reason.
Given that the monster is 59, he's probably killed over 100 people by now! My heart goes out to the victims and those that loved them. Glad this guy is at least behind bars now, thank goodness!
When I watched my mom take her last breath as she died of cancer, I felt a sort of relief that she wasn't in pain anymore. Especially since I knew the end was inevitable any moment hour or day. Not happy, just less distressed.
I literally just read about this from the DailyMail,the crazy part is,I remember watching a crime documentary about these murders. Thank goodness,I am so happy they caught him,hopefully,it’s him!
When I saw the pictures of the area where the crimes happened it reminded me of the Netflix movie I saw called "lost girls" With Amy Ryan as the mom. Good movie of this real life tragedy.
Thank you team 48 hours! I'm trying to enhance my English skills with these videos. I hope no one in this world has to do what she/he doesn't like to do just to make money. May their souls rest in peace.
Maybe that detective can rest easier now knowing this guy is caught, as of today. I'm sure it's haunting to always feel like you let the community down, by not finding a monster like that, and feeling like you failed to protect people. Entire families as well should have a weight lifted from them, I'm so glad they caught this guy.
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!

@sicilyny5375 he was only charged with 3 deaths, he was named the prime suspect in a 4th (Maureen)
I'm glad you made it out of that industry I can only imagine may the LORD Bless you and these victims 🙏☝️🕊️💜
Do you like the line of work you’re in?
I went to school with Shannan. I liked her. We got along pretty good. My heart goes out to the family
She was so beautiful.
Aww, so 😔
Sounds like she was a nice person
@@Ice-fg9jc And brave.
the clock is ticking for all these killers, as long as law enforcement kept the dna they found in tact, genetic genealogy will help solve a good number of these cases. It is nice to know they are now looking over their shoulders worrying about time running out. God bless law enforcement and all they do. RIP to all those women who lost their lives to this monster.
They arrested a man today!
@@deborahsunflower939Interesting timing
@@goldenarrow3 They knew beforehand. Its not a coincidence lol
Im in the clear, baby!.. Worst I’ve ever done is hustle a little pool..
@@goldenarrow3 Nothing weird going on, they reposted this after the news came out.
I'd like to say, as someone who was an active addict for the majority of my life, I have never heard of someone being high, on any kind of drugs, who imagined they were attacked, & fled & stripped off their clothes as they ran. Ridiculous.
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 TH-cam. 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.
Lmao I’ve literally seen this happen more times than I can count 😂 maybe it’s just Florida
Seriously!!
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.
So you Didnt do bath salts
Rex huermann is the killer. They just arrested him.
Shannon’s mother is dead now. She was stabbed to death by her own other daughter. This case is just filled with tragedy.
😮😢😢😢That is so heartbreaking & tragic!
What!!
@@tonggao08 yup. Shannon’s sister killed her mother. They said she lost it after all this. So sad. They barely publicize it
Sometimes our society doesn’t allow people to rehabilitate after mistakes. Like the girl with no license.. she was just trying to provide for her child with little options. Empathy is the answer here. Our society needs to change to help those in need. No one wants to do this. They feel forced, and are all still human.
Ive been on 2 County probation for 2 years. I had a wondeful attorney. Without him id be in jail. I had one of Floridas worst PO , that was dirty. Got paid to put me in 3x in 6months. Dirty!! I finished 2 year probation in 4 months. It didnt matter cuz he wanted more. They dont want you to be rehabilitated. They rather have you in a positjon, on the street. Turning tricks to pay them, and ive paid them 50k. On Disability. Sickening. ...when this is over. Id like to work and volunteer, but not in one place. Im leaving this County. All people need help but women need to help women. No other way. They have a womens shelter here called CASA. They male millions at a high end boutique, all donations. Then they dont have ANYTHING to give to any women who need it. 😢
They caught the dirty pos ! Finally Justice for these victims ❤😢
Imagine his reaction when they came for him.
One neighbor said she's not surprised.
Wonder why.
The Dr or the serial killer? Or Is it the same person?
@@eskuinkle no, different people. The guilty person was an architect
They caught that pig yesterday. And it is an absolute crime that single women in this country have to sell their bodies and risk getting murdered because they cant make a decent living.
Nearly all women don’t encounter sex work
@@ci6516the fact that one did is still a travesty . Only in America can you work 40h a week make 500-600 and still be poor. Anywhere else a full-time job = living well
THIS IS CRAZY!!!! As I'm watching this episode, I get an alert there has been an arrest in this case!
that’s why they posted it
Lol
Awesome
Thank you for having a Gilgo Beach episode ready for us, 48 Hours! Ah, this ep is from 2020. No big! Would love to see the old coverage of this long case.
Disgusting handling of the case. Someone in the department is definitely covering it up. John sir, you are a hero. As is the former Chief. Relentless.
So Maureen was literally 3 blocks away from Rex Heuermann office when at Penn Station! 3 BLOCKS!
Wow.
Thank you SOO much for the full episodes!
I just want to hug all the families, so sorry for your losses. They were all beautiful ladies and did not deserve what happened to them.
This is so surreal… it feels like so long ago that I heard about this case for the first time, and in my teenage brain I just did not see how they would possibly ever find person who did this. But it looks like they really got him.. These women were NOT given up on or forgotten.
I’m so glad they caught this manic. I don’t care what these ladies did to make money, they didn’t deserve to be slaughtered
This is such a sad story. How dare someone take others lives! These ladies were loved and had family's, friends etc. This is just awful. 😞
because some people are more daring than the rest and are not afraid to take risks. until they are caught, such individuals are admired as cocky, courageous people. despicable creatures
You weren't aware there were murderers?
@@ttx3who admires them?
They couldn't have been THAT loved. I mean, look where they ended up.
I agree, it's a sad story. But they all, apparently, came from rather dysfunctional backgrounds, and may have been searching for a love that, otherwise, they didn't feel.
They were literally hookers
Been following this for a long time. Unfortunate that the mother wasn’t alive today to find out about the arrest.
Who’s mother?
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.
Lily rose they arrested him here on LI this morning, hence 48 hours reposting this video this morning.
They have someone in custody today.
@@barbarascotto3873 Good.
@@barbarascotto3873are you an idiot they are showing this because they caught the killer
They want all the glory.
These kind of killers never take into account the victims families and friends. Someone was missing every single one.
Or their own....imagine that being YOUR dad , husband, son or brother......
That’s bc they don’t view the victims as a human being with loved ones.They are viewed as objects.
It’s hard to see it the way you put it when you don’t have any humanity (like this serial killer).
@@macnchessplz Yep, that's right. And they're always wrong. It's interesting that the killers really become non-human themselves just by they're thinking.
My own BF doesnt take ME into account. Let alone my family. I've been studying psychology of mentally ill people, for years. I come from it. Im mentally ill (managed & therapy.) But there are types of people who DO NOT FEEL. Cliche that usually they were abused; but even with moments of empathy, they arent the same as us. Narcissists, Psychopaths, Sociopaths, BPD, ...watch Sam Vaknin and its eye opening how people really operate.
I've dated Alpha men in my life....believe me its saved me no trouble. People are so very conplex. But murdering people down on their luck. Small women, children, homeless, disabled....just makes me sad. So much potential , many people do have.
You'll never see it.
@@Lena-so2lq if he doesn’t take you into account? Don’t make him your husband.He’ll then take you even less into account….and it’ll be harder and more e pensive to end that dynamic.
I Never thought this day would come !!!! Thank god he’s caught, I hope he’s good for Shannan Gilbert and the others too , evil walks among us , *beware* !
I do, too. I wish her mama, Mari, was alive to see justice.
48hrs coming in hot with that old episode. Hey, I appreciate it. Going back over the case given today's arrest..
Thank you 48hours for putting this full episode on
RIP Shannan Gilbert & Marí Gilbert (her mother). I hope you’re together now! So heartbreaking for the family to lose two loved ones in such brutal ways. 💕
So happy to hear that the LISK has been arrested! I pray these ladies receive justice and their loved ones receive the answers they’ve been desperately waiting for.
I've been following this story for a while i never thought he would ever get caught in my life time im so glad he's off the streets
On 07/13/2023 Rex Heuermann, an architect who had lived most of his life in Nassau County and worked in Manhattan, was taken into custody in connection with these killings.
No shart Sherlock.
You got the day AND year wrong. 7/14/2023.
They just caught him thank God!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m from LI and I can’t believe they have someone in custody for these horrible horrific crimes!!!!! It’s surreal honestly!
Oh my God they actually finally found out who the Long Island serial killer was thank God I've been praying for these families for years
It took god all these years to find the killer or DNA and detectives figured it out? Which one is the right answer? 🤡
@@Oliver-CloseoffWhen you die you will be forgotten
So I was just reading the 32 page indictment and one of the victims - Costello apparently scammed Rex out of money by having him show up for their appt then staging a ruse in which a guy pretending to be her bf showed up causing Rex to leave. He then sent her a text message saying “ that’s not nice …” and then for god knows what reason the victim then decided to see him the next day and DIDN’T take her cellphone. It was this event in which his car was witnessed which leads us to today.
Why would you meet up with someone you scammed hundreds of dollars from? Very odd
Looks like his anger and emotions caused him to slip up. For better or worse.
Why? DRUGS.
All of the people involved in this were degenerates. Every single one including the perpetrator.
She was a heroin addict and he offered her $1,500. She was much more than an addict and an escort, RIP Amber, but that's why she was willing to do something so insanely risky after scamming him the night before. The girls with serious addictions end up taking the worst risks, legally and/or safety-wise.
@@JustJesstheMess Exactly…again they were degenerates.
They always prey on young women...truly awful. Fathers, hold your daughters close...it's a scary world out there
Duh, does the cheetah go after the strongest prey in the wild???
Petite women especially must stay vigilant and practice situational awareness constantly.
Young woman and children are the most murdered, raped, kidnapped.
@@spiritmatter1553I'm 5ft and 100 pounds woman. I also have a conceal carry license and am armed at all times
Ever heard of John Wayne Gacy?
Suspect in custody, hope they solve the cases soon.
Hopefully they have the right guy in custody
@@markreed1623 I was watching a news few hours ago and they talked about DNA and cellphone pins. Looks like since February they had a suspected name. Press conference at 3:45pm EST today.

Lily is beautiful. I hope she can move beyond her mother’s sad fate and create a wonderful life for herself
She looks like her mama alot
Missy... I'm so sorry for the pain you have endured while missing your sister over the years. Yes, of course Maureen mattered, please don't feel we need to be convinced of that! Love, light and healing to you! You are a loving sister, Missy, and Maureen knows how much you love and miss her! Continue to keep her in your heart, always! Warm Hugs to you!
I know it's a low bar but I appreciate not demonizing sex workers. Idc what your morals are, theyre humans that often get seen as deserving of their treatment by society and it is just nice to see the humanity 48 hours and family/friends can bring in reminding us of that fact and shed light on it
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 :/
Exactly Sex workers are people who’s been through a lot of trauma and don’t know how to cope with it i feel for those poor girls 💯💔
27:03 Very sad that the mother Mari Gilbert was stabbed to death 227 times in 2016 by her daughter Sarra Gilbert standing behind her at the funeral only a few years after this was filmed.
23 minutes on the phone with 911 and they couldn’t get an officer to her?
Budget, priorities on docket...it happens more than people realize. Sometimes you unfortunately find out when you are the one having to call.
Thank you 48 hours for being all over this
Somebody needs to apologize to that innocent man made guilty without any evidence 🤦🏻♀️.
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
@@Bearsie413That’s not automatic. It depends on the state.
There were probably more than one murderer.
He was pretty sketchy himself by the sound of it - although I don’t recall where I heard that….
@@christinap-c tell me cash app to send you money
I remember hearing about this case but didn't have the means to follow-up on it and I'm so glad they've solved it 😢❤!
So glad to hear they have a suspect in custody. These families need closure.
How did the cops not interogate the house she was drooped off at and called 911 from?
Just love 48 hrs,and the intro music is so suitable.Well done crew and the team.
Great news, I’m glad that he was found. Those girls and their families deserve justice.
They say that Justice delayed is Justice denied. But not in this case!
Great news indeed!
👍
Every time I hear about these cases, Shannon is always the first person that pops into my head 😢

July 14, 2023 Rex Heuermann was taken into custody for some of the Gilgo Beach murders, an unsolved case tied to at least 10 sets of human remains discovered since 2010
If the first death was a college student, this crime would’ve been solved within days.
This case has intrigued me for a long time and it wasn't just the four girls who were found there
Been waiting for this episode to drop.
Thank you for always putting out full episodes & great content for us!!
It dropped 12 years ago.
I hope this story can help find the identity of the woman with the peach tattoo. The body of the little girl was identified as being her daughter.
SOMEONE has to remember tattooing that design, and I refuse to believe a missing woman and her two year old daughter, can just vanish without anyone looking for them.
I pray that someone out there, watching this or the news, will come forward.
It is crazy to think her as well as the Asian man (possibly transgender) still haven't been identified! Someone out there MUST love & miss all 3 of them...
A man did remember tattooing the design for that woman, but they didn’t end up identifying her.
@@Silvia.Araujo that's so sad!!!
The tattoo was remembered but I think it was paid in cash & the identity unknown. It’s understandable that you might not have a lot of details on your tattoo clients, unfortunately 😕
with DNA you'd think they could figure out who it is.
So many women who get trapped in that lifestyle have incredibly big hearts and genuinely loving spirits. Predators who hurt these women loathe themselves and envy the joy they will never have.
Well stated. They want permanent ownership of something beautiful. So they take their lives, essentially trying to take their souls..😢
The addictive to this channel is REAL ❤️❤️❤️
*addiction
Yes I'm glad this is getting attention again. Wish they'd cover the active Chicago serial killer tho. Only small channels cover it. Could save life's if they did.
Active _now_ ????
I'm from Chicago and there is definitely a serial killer out here
The one called chicago strangler is scary..
@@PeachShortcake_ yeah! Been active for years. Hard to find any mainstream on it but so many small channels cover it. Probably don't wanna scare tourists away
They'd rather gaslight you into thinking it's a utopia after all of its failed progressive policies. Saving lives isn't part of the narrative.
After learning about the Franklin Coverup of the 80’s, this case to me shows all the trademark signs of a blackmail ring involving very prominent people in that area and possibly even beyond that area.
It will likely never be “officially” solved for that very reason.
Given that the monster is 59, he's probably killed over 100 people by now! My heart goes out to the victims and those that loved them. Glad this guy is at least behind bars now, thank goodness!
Wheres the other burial ground? This case is a mess! Its not right.
@@Lena-so2lq I know! This guy could have put his victims anywhere!
Prayers for the families and victims
I pray for his wife, daughter, sisters or others as well....I can't imagine this being my dad, son or brother
When I watched my mom take her last breath as she died of cancer, I felt a sort of relief that she wasn't in pain anymore. Especially since I knew the end was inevitable any moment hour or day. Not happy, just less distressed.
May the LORD be with her, she's in a better place now 🙏☝️💜🕊️
my aunt lives on the same street as rex. it’s terrifying and we are all shocked here on LI
I literally just read about this from the DailyMail,the crazy part is,I remember watching a crime documentary about these murders. Thank goodness,I am so happy they caught him,hopefully,it’s him!
@@dallen2926 I’m glad I could oblige Professor dallen2926 👀😜🤣
When I saw the pictures of the area where the crimes happened it reminded me of the Netflix movie I saw called "lost girls" With Amy Ryan as the mom. Good movie of this real life tragedy.
Now I want to see the documentary about the killer
@@SDsailor7 I will definitely check it out,solid!😎
That’s right…he didn’t weaken you he made you & your family stronger!! We stand with YOU!!! ❤
Thank you team 48 hours! I'm trying to enhance my English skills with these videos. I hope no one in this world has to do what she/he doesn't like to do just to make money. May their souls rest in peace.
It's unbelievable and unbelievable. After so many killing, they still couldn't find him.
You people do know that they caught the guy
Just caught him.
I can’t believe the person GOT AWAY with MURDERING all of these women!!!
He was arrested yesterday, hence the repost of this video
There are probably more than one killers.
There are more..I know..bodies...he did it all.
Sex Workers are the most vulnerable group of people and they are targeted much more frequently.
Maybe that detective can rest easier now knowing this guy is caught, as of today. I'm sure it's haunting to always feel like you let the community down, by not finding a monster like that, and feeling like you failed to protect people. Entire families as well should have a weight lifted from them, I'm so glad they caught this guy.
Thank you so much for this video. I didn’t know the background on James Burke and Thomas spota, this is so good.
They should be sent back to prison
I was always wandering about this case , so glad they catch up with this monster finally
I remember this case when Shannon Gilbert was discovered and they still never found the perpetrator
One of the awful things is that loved ones blame themselves and carry so much unwarranted guilt
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!
I’m so happy this monster has been caught. So sorry for all the victims and their families
