There is a 3rd option of why his wife's hair would be found on the bodies. You said the wife was out of town when this happened yes? Well isn't it possible he brought the women to his house?
Isn't that such a stunningly unexpected way for a serial killer to be discovered. A prostitute has a mental breakdown and calls the police saying she's being attacked, then proceeds to accidentally drown exactly where a serial killer of prostitutes had been dumping bodies for years. If that's the kind of luck it takes to find a serial killer graveyard then how many are never discovered
It’s a bit too coincidental, don’t you think? I just do not agree she isn’t part of the same crimes. And there may be more than one killer. Some of the search warrants list looking for evidence of conspiracy-may just be his brother covering for him or may not. That town is a dark, dark place.
I'd assume there are a lot more people being killed and serial killers out there then we actually assume. Pretty scary to think about especially when you hear about people just missing and never being found. I usually assume they were killed or trafficked.
Whenever I watch true crime videos I think about what I was doing in my life while someone, somewhere in the world, was being murdered. Like while we are all going about a typical day, someone else is being murdered. I can’t fathom it sometimes. I’m so glad this guy was caught. I read recently his wife has breast cancer. I hope she is able recover
Remember people are also being born, finding love, having a good time. Murder is revolting because it's an aberration, an anomaly. Remember to avoid true crime content when things start to look too bleak, it's interesting but can cause some serious anxiety.
Most serial murder cases seem so distant in history, watching one unfold in this time is an odd feeling. I feel sick in a different way, it's so disturbing knowing he was walking around free just a few weeks ago and how many others are. Humans are scary. Him calling up these women's family members and friends saying he's going to watch them decay, my brain just wants to reject that someone is capable of such depravity. What even is this world?
1 person out of 8 billion+ kills a handful of people, sure it’s absolutely horrific, but we’re a lot safer now than 50-60 years ago. Those were the days you’d go to a big city and have 2-3 serial killers active + truckers going around, everything was a threat. The death of innocence, I’d say. The end of the age of the Good Samaritan. Heck, back then you’d get serial killers racking up a 40 person+ body count. We’re safer now than ever from violent crime not tied to drugs, the only thing I could see as a true threat that really hasn’t changed is SA. Killers realistically cannot exist in an age with genealogy tech advancing. Eventually, people will realize this. The killers today most likely feel as if they have nothing to lose. Fear those people, to be honest.
Because for the most part it plays out like it does in this video. What's scarier is the fact there are more murders happening than you think, not all of them get reported in news same as missing people, so there is a chance you can live next to a serial killer and you will never know until they are caught or YOU become a victim yourself.
I watched the BTK case unfold in live time. I remember the day Ted Bundy was executed and John Wayne Gacey. And I definitely remember watching the Jeffrey Dahmer arrest & trial unfold in live time as well as his death! It was he, BTK, & David Koresh that got me interested in Forensic Psychology & Criminal Justice to begin with! The scary thing is at any given moment there’s up to 25 serial killers operating across the country! We now have a database for HSK Highway Serial Killers.
@@SlipknotForevahokay....we're a lot safer, good. But it is still incredibly scary knowing that there are people out there with the capacity to do things like this. It is so far away from MY reasoning MY capacity of empathy and justice and everything good that it defies comprehension. It's like how vast infinity is...I KNOW of it conceptually but on a personal level I could never fully comprehend and it seems like some sort of fairy tale to earnestly reflect upon it. To know that their are people out there FUNCTIONING/THRIVING and masquerading as something we should aspire to with this level of empathy (none... and in fact need thrills to feel pleasure) in society with no repercussions since they're victims aren't murders but 'just' the injustices of the world...did you know that CEO's have a MUCH higher percentage of being clinically psychopathic to do the work they do? No person with empathy and long term thinking skills for societal well being could sign off on some of the heartless things they do....As a society we don't often see them for what they are since I earnestly think in a certain way a lot of psychopaths/sociopaths/narcissists have toxic traits we seem to envy and want to emulate. We put these people on pedestals and pretend like they are okay and anyone with a different opinion is treated like the outsider...it is a society problem as in what we value.... anyways rant over. All I initially came here to say was, it is like looking at a skin walker....they may look and act like we do, but that's only because they are deceiving us as all times...it is absolutely terrifying the wolf in sheep's clothing...and for anyone with deviant thoughts believing they are normal, get help....they are not.
i feel really bad for his children first and foremost. losing a father is one thing, but knowing that your father was a serial killer is less than stellar.
@@msreb2700i agree with you, however the victims' families had time to process it as much as one can really process a death. his kids looked up to him and now are forced to regard him as a bad person - despite however they may have previously thought about him. in my experience, losing someone who hasnt died hurts more than losing someone to death (x100 since its to life in prison), and the victims families are definitely having fresh feelings about it but so are the sk's kids. everyone suffers in murder cases.
It’s crazy that Shannon’s case led to the investigation and apprehension of a prolific serial killer and brought justice to all those other women, and it was (as far as we know) completely unrelated to her death. I’ve struggled with mental illness all my life too and I can’t even imagine how scared she must have been in that marsh, her own mind playing tricks on her, drowning all alone in the dark. What a horrible, horrible way for anyone to go… I hope she has peace wherever she is now and that her family is able too as well someday
This reminds me of the police digging up a grave and finding a corpse under a corpse. It turned out that there were even more and at least three different types of murder and burial... It was apparently just a convenient dumping ground outside the city, easy to reach, offering the privacy and the only place in the region where digging was easy...
"Only place in the region" to dig? Get out of here. LI is bigger than it looks on a map and there are plenty of places to dispose of bodies. If he drove west there is rural land and even more secluded beaches. I'm not convinced he did all the murders yet, but all the bodies being in this small area is a bigger coincidence than you are making it out to be.
I’ve lived in LI all my life, and have always been extremely paranoid about the LISK. Hearing about the victims that lived in areas I used to, or being close to gilgo beach hoping to god no one becomes the next victim. And when everyone found out he was in Mass park?!? This whole time!! It’s just. Crazy. I’m so glad the victims get a step forward to Justice after all these years.
Wouldn't be surprised at all to find out the early murders are connected as well. We know from BTK that these types of serial killers can go "dormant" for several years during their children's formative years. Wouldn't be surprised at all to find these "quiet" years line up to when the children were born.
For instance, you can surmise that architect had business travels, work opportunities, conventions to attend and such, which would explain why he wasn't active in Long Island at the time. When he started to be active again, he finally built up enough of a customer base in the area to stay rooted there.
How curious that these disease minded killers pull it together for their own kids. Their truly is a dissacociation that is impossible to comprehend. Maybe they feel love and a type of contentedness but it fades when kids leave that cute phase and try to be independant. Who can say.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his dormant period started right when he got married. It would also explain the change in his M.O. Before, he was single and didn’t have anyone expecting him home, so he had plenty of time to dismember the bodies and dump them where he wanted. After he got married, he quit for awhile because his wife would expect him home most of the time, and he couldn’t just take off for a few hours at a time. Eventually though, his urges catch up to him and his home life becomes routine, so he wants that feeling again. The only difference is that he doesn’t have all night or a proper place to dismember bodies. It also wouldn’t look good for him to show up at home covered in scratches and blood. So, he just strangles them, wraps them up, and dumps them at his spot. I’d also bet he wore leather or other thick clothes when he killed those women, specifically so they couldn’t scratch or bite him and leave marks.
I found myself visiting family in Long Island. I took a detour to Gilgo Beach. I walked along the parkway at night to the area where the Gilgo Four were found. The brush is incredibly thick and the waves are loud. The only signs of life were the occasional passing car or moored boat. It feels indescribably lonely and desolate for somewhere only an hour away from the largest city in the US.
Something I have learned from channels like yours is that you should never go hiking, jogging, or just walking alone with earbuds or headphones on. I will walk to the store while listening to something, but I only have one earbud in so I can hear what's going on around me. Sorry to your sponsor, lol!
You’re less likely to get killed while walking alone outside than being in a public place. You are also more likely to get killed by the man you sleep with or are partnered with than some random stranger. Remember that.
@@dreamsprayanimation I am happily divorced, and due to being on medication that reduces my immune system, I don't go out in public much. So hopefully I will be able to avoid trouble 😁
i was on the train in philadelphia and came across a sign that said something similar and also something along the lines of “dont let your guard down”. thats stuck with me ever since
According to an ex-escort who had met LISK… Rex kept bringing up the Gilgo Beach murders. He even asked what her thoughts were on how Shannon Gilbert died. Allegedly, he said that he believed Shannon was murdered by LISK. I find it kind of weird he would say such a thing. Especially, since Shannan's cause of death in her initial autopsy was undetermined, but Shannan's family decided to get a second opinion. The second autopsy found that Shannan "met a violent end, that she was strangled,".
I live on LI.. been out in this area many times.. it’s really disturbing to know that these beaches are also graves to those that had their lives taken from them.. it’s honestly scary
The fact that this man was hiding in plain sight for years was the most intriguing aspect of this case. Imagine finding out your father was such a depraved serial killer or even worse, working in hand with another killer
hiding in plain sight? meanwhile hes moving all over LI with cut up body parts placing them around different parts of the island. all while simultaneously working in Manhattan (not to mention thats where at least half of the missing women were from) undetected/dormant would be a better word vs hidden.
This Long Island serial killer case has haunted me for years.. it has had so much twists and turns with corrupt/ incompetent/careless cops, victims mom killed, possibly 2 killers, rich doctor, traitorous pizza crust etc.. So glad he was caught, justice might be slow, but she will find you..
It's NOT solved. There's still a second, separate unrelated killer out there. Rex is only responsible for "The Gilgo 4." The other 6 bodies don't fit his M.O. She needs to find killer #2 now.
Good. Hopefully that means Cherries, Peaches and Peaches’ daughter aren’t too far behind. They need to be given back their names so justice can be dealt and their spirits (if they exist) can finally rest in peace.
@@misterpinkandyellow74 Shannon's 911 call was recorded and is available online. She's alternately calm, running, panicked, refuses help, is scared, goes completely silent for long stretches. What she says and does during the 911 call makes no sense. She refuses help from a local person who then calls 911 himself. She runs from the driver she called. A few people called 911. Either she drowned after fleeing into the water. Or she met a killer who drowned her. She was paranoid and not thinking straight.
@@misterpinkandyellow74I agree 100%. I was about to comment this. It seems like she was trying to flee him but ended up accidentally committing suicide :( May she rest in peace.
LISK wife's hair on 3 of the victims will bury him under the jail. His wife's hair simply was on his clothes when she did his laundry together with hers and it just transfer near the victims during the attacks. Everyone knows the wife is not the one who assaulted him but they all link him to the attacks.
Yeah, I thought about transfer too. Some killers have pets too, and it doesn't necessarily mean they were in the crime scene when you find their hair. Interestingly, these can be utilized as evidences as well, to indirectly incriminate an owner being suspected!
Man I’m so glad Lazy’s still posting. I’ve been binging his content for like 8 years. This channel was literally my introduction into all things creepy pasta, and scary story on this side of TH-cam. So happy to see you’re still here. I’ll always be a massive fan ❤️❤️
That hair thing is so real. My wife has looooooong hair, easily 2 feet in length. I cannot count the number of times I've done a load of laundry and went to put on a shirt only for one of her hairs to be inside the shirt and end up draped across my head when I put my head through the hole of the shirt. It's damn near weekly!
@@vaellyth Haha. The worst offender is actually our cat. He was her cat when we started dating. I can't count the number of times I'd be in my closet at my apartment (where the cat had never been) and I'd find his hair on clothes I never wore to her condo. It was always annoying when it was one of my suits since I had to wear them to work often, most were black/grey and the cats fur is all white.
My hair is down to my knees and my fiance is constantly finding hairs - even one behind their eye once and apparently pulling it out and it just kept coming was a traumatic experience :P
Lmao… every wife with long hair (including me) just did a double check on your username to make sure you’re not their hubby venting about our wayward hair. 😉
the one woman was found on my birthday, it’s strange and so freaking sad to think how a family discovered their daughter wasn’t going to age ever again while i was celebrating getting another year older. i hope all of the victims and their families are getting on well and remembering to celebrate life when they can.
It's always crazy to me when serial killers/grapists turn out to be married with children. Then i remember some of the thoughts I've had toward people who've hurt me in my life and it's not so weird. It truly shows the compartmentalization that the human mind is capable of.
@@AYVYN Stop spreading falsehoods, this isn't the place to be propagandizing about how you think Christianity is evil (especially when Santaria is a Western religion).
@@lainiwakura1776 Don’t order me around choir boy. Does the thought of people being cosmically judged for their righteousness or sinfulness put you at ease? Well, it put enough people at ease to start a religion over it.
i was reading a magazine a few weeks ago and this case was still listed as “unsolved”, all of this happened maybe an hour south of where i live. crazy shit. love u lazy keep it up!
I appreciate that you take the time to humanize sex workers and addicts who were murdered. so much true crime media doesn’t bother, and even victim-blames them because of their profession or substance use.
I love that you noticed that. One of my good friends works as an escort. She’s beautiful and used to do fitness competitions and was/is a personal trainer. She got married to a horrible man (in jail for attempted murder) - he introduced her to drugs and she became addicted. She has a disabled kid that her Dad watches. She would always be in nice hotels. I would pick her up to shop groceries, occasionally we would have coffee or even a cocktail. She had an arrest record and had some enemies stemming from her addiction. She had no social media at all. She said it’s hard for her to get and hold down a job so on etc. She would wake up, work out, do drugs, escort. I stopped hearing from her two years ago. Her number that she’s had forever stopped working. I HOPE that she’s healthy somewhere but I think that she’s dead - either drugs or murder. I can’t find anything on her - I was thinking about hiring a PI but for what really?
@@Initium1000 Well, if, god forbid, your friend is currently a Jane Doe, hiring a PI could help identify her and being closure not just to you but to the others who care about her. The odds are very minimal though. I don't know if I personally would want to get my hopes up by hiring a PI at all...
@@raerohan4241 I’m hesitant to look but doubt that she is. I say this because she was so fit and would have sticking features BUT there’s been beautiful Jane Doe’s. I remember as she didn’t have a car I would drive her to get heroin/fentanyl. She would get so aggressive with her dealers over the phone. I would worry about that. This was in PA - it’s a huge state with a vast wilderness and a lot of missing persons. I love her very much as a person but to be transparent I had addiction issues as well. I think most likely she OD’d and she was claimed by the family. To be transparent, I had addiction issues as well at the time (I was an alcoholic, did percs, xan, adderall, ambien and coke). My HOPE is that she’s ok and understandably wants to leave her past far behind and leave people like the person I was behind. I had a good support system to help me. I had parents, therapy and rehab. As far as I know she didn’t have that. If I find her, I will update this thread. Addicts get close to each other. They have a different intimacy because they understand that we’re truly messed up so you become close. Anyway, I’m rambling. I just miss her and hope she’s ok
They don't deserve to die, but they choose to that dangerous lifestyle. No different than a drug dealer. Living the street life is a dangerous and most time, a short life.
Let’s go on an anti-police rant. How ridiculous. There was no cover-up or corruption, you are fabricating. Hopefully you’ll never need police assistance, and when you do, they’ll be right there for you.
@@safewaydriving3463 ?? Pointing out corruption isn't an ANTIFA warcry. There's always a corruption problem in police orgs, around the world, because criminals work closely with the police most of the time. Why you wouldn't acknowledge there's serious corruption in NY is... weird.
I'm so psyched you covered this case. I live on Long Island and worked on the beach next to Gilgo. Been very into this case and was not expecting you to cover this
Hello Lazy! I was the drunk British guy talking to you in Midnight in Kobe last month. Was nice to meet you, hope I didn't make an arse of myself - I can't really remember what we talked about!
Remember- he's not been brought to justice yet as the trial hasn't happened. The baby's not been conclusively linked to the Gilgo murders or Heuermann.
@@exsandgrounderIf the murder of Baby Doe and his mother turns out to not have committed by him, then that has even more disturbing implications, as it could mean there is another killer out there that hasn't been caught yet
@@dataexpunged4784 Yeah, I'm honestly hoping the other 6 were also his kills. One SK killing 10 before being caught is way better than having 2 SKs with 6 and 4 each, and only the latter having been caught.
Maureen victim, coming from CT, was coming from the town I grew up in Norwich. I remember watching 1 of 100s things I watched about this, showed her list of places she had applied to, single mom looking for a job broke my ❤ ❤❤ as I recognized list places I applied to also as a single mom. Her first time ever escorting I believe. Thank God we get to watch this unfold! RIP all victims and finally closure for the families
This is beyond crazy, a woman suffers an episode in which she is convinced to be chased by someone who matches the profile of the LISK and drowns in her attempt to flee from her imagined encounter with such a person, after which her body uncovers countless victims who died the way she imagined she was going to die. It almost sounds as if it can't be true. The reason I believe this was an episode and not a true event with the killer is because a person offered her shelter to hide until authorities came to help her, no person in mortal danger would react to that by running the other way. Even if the person offering help had bad intentions, if you're being chased you'll take whatever hope you get.
It makes sense the disposal method would change. The time between the first and second set of crimes saw big advances in DNA testing…there was no longer a benefit to keeping easily identifiable body parts (skull, hands, etc.,) better hidden, so he skipped a step and just dumped them bundled up.
Lazy, your cold case episodes are honestly some of my favorite videos of yours, and I am seriously stoked to see this one come up just as I am about to get done with work for the day and head home, because it means I will have something interesting to listen to on the drive. In the middle of the night, because I enjoy listening to creepy videos at night because I'm weird. Cheers. 😁
And well, come to think of it, he maybe even read some of our comments on the TH-cam videos about his cases as well. It is creepy, but not too surprising given the controlling nature of psychos like him.
Its so infuriating that the only reason it took this long for him to get caught, was because some cops decided to actually do their job. The blood of all these women are on the entire PD's hands for their infuriating laziness
They were already dead though, it’s not like their incompetence caused them to die in the first place. I think saying blood is on their hands is over stating the case. I’m sure they have blood on their hands for many many other reasons though
@@opaljk4835hey idiot, it’s a serial killer, if you do your job right the first time they don’t kill anymore people, instead of letting them kill at least 4 before you start working on the case
I had moved away from the area before LISK began his vicious murders, but am so thankful we can finally put this case to rest. Kudos to you for the correct pronunciation of various Long Island cities, they're not easy!
Good work Lazy! This is a huge case with lots of bodies. Good that you pointed out there may be more than one SK. Apparently there was also a separate dumping ground of bodies that was linked to Gilgo Beach somehow. Scary people out there!
I live in Long Island. I can’t believe I’ve been out walking in woods and areas where there was no people while there was a serial killer on the loose. Seriously disturbing stuff. Somehow you just never think your place of residence will ever host a serial killer.
Great Video! Ive covered the case as well and have interviewed people involved. The only correction is that they weren't all strangled. The Police Chief says their other ways then strangling. One of the victims sister indicated that they found panties showed down her throat and alludes to this as the cause of death not Strangulation
@Dr170 yeah, I made a video myself and said the same thing. I had to dig very very deep to find those details. Just figured I'd share. Lazy always puts out the best videos in my opinion
Omggg my dad was talking to me the other day & told me he was caught. Turns out.. he lived in my uncle’s area. My cousins and i were outside our whole childhood. So creepy gives me chills
Thank you for covering this. Being from NY I jad heard of all these girls, Im glad they connected at least one person has been brought in to keep other working girls safe from him. RIP to all these girls ❤
Hair can only be used as clas evidence. Anybody who says hair (without the bulb) is a certain or near certain match to a particular person is not being fully honest.
The fact that the victim said, “THEY are trying to kill me.” Makes the fact that the wife’s hair found on the bodies of the other victims ominous and disturbing. They could have held the victims in the dungeon until the wife was out of town so that the slayings wouldn’t be tied to her. There’s no way a man can build a soundproof torture chamber in their house without at least the wife knowing about it.
Imagine being the wife and having to deal with all the shock and publicity all of a sudden and then also being accused by a minority for taking part in murders that you had nothing to do with. It's worth a bit of thought perhaps, but I don't think there's enough evidence pointing towards that, at least not that's presented in the video (I'm admittedly not familiar with this case). Shannon was paranoid enough at the moment to run from anybody, no matter what, even people who seemingly tried to help her (they?).
@CrumpledPaperHearts It's not white knighting, it's pointing out the truth. Her hair being on the victim isn't really surprising, it's his wife, she's probably been all over that car. Kind of like when they find dog hairs on a victim, doesn't mean the dog took part. She may have said, "Their" because she thought there was more than one and/or she wasn't sure if it was a man or woman after her, she just knew someone was. As for her not knowing about the torture chamber, similar cases have happened before. Even more extreme than this too, like the guy who held his daughter hostage for decades, raped/impregnated her all while his wife/her mother knew nothing while living above the very place her daughter was held.
@@gaaraxnarupeople would rather be deceived and fed lies as opposed to the truth in such matters smdh. But yes, the "sound proofed dungeon" has been completely debunked and by the very authorities dealing with this case stating it was nothing more than a DIY gun room made of plywood and no ceiling to contain his vast gun collection and I'm disappointed in lazy Masq for perpetuating such a fallacy.
FYI, while LISK is the catchier name, most locals and local authorities used the "gilgo beach killer" moniker, at least in part because there was another serial killer from long island, and also in part because of the different MOs between the gilgo 4 and the rest of the victims. While I strongly suspect rex will get tied to at least some of the others, He's still just the gilgo beach killer for now. LISK was mainly popularized by a documentary.
@@Kangaroojack1986You are wrong. Women from all backgrounds are targeted and murdered. In fact, the majority of women who are murdered are killed by their male partner or ex.
@@cleoldbagtraallsorts3380You do know that most females in nature of many species are more vicious right? Most of the time, when men do it, it’s from infidelity or having kids taken away. When women do it, it’s for money.

You, Corpse Husband and Be Busta were the reason I became a horror narration addict and I thank you for that. Stay spooky buddy. Big love and respect from Belleville Illinois, USA.
Unfortunately, Shannon’s case is the only one I have doubts on what really happened. They didn’t find drugs in her system only because her body had been left in the elements for nearly a year. Her phone call, to me, she sounds so inebriated that I can’t help but have doubts.
Im surprised they were even allowed to test her seeing as it's only really accurate if the body is "new". 1 year is seriously stretching the result, even if you take hair samples..
@@PoptartParasol exactly. The medical examiner even said that, because she was a known drug user, not finding ANY trace was odd in of itself. But that being out in the elements that long made everything difficult
its just legal speak to not get sued, he cant outright say the guy is guilty but he can present all of the information and let us come to the conclusion that he definitely killed those people
I had a co worker say the same thing. She worked around New Haven Connecticut traveling a little ways toward New York. Super scary to think of all the things that can happen 😣
its so surreal to hear you talking about this case, I work just a few blocks away from where this guy was, and I've been a subscriber of yours for years. I'm just glad they finally got him.
14:45 I always wondered why Amber would meet a guy, who she set up, the following day? Or ever? I’d think your safety would decrease dramatically going on a “date” with someone you previously robbed.
Lazy I’ve been listening to your content since 2014. I want another roadtrip across the country series about each state. The videos over the last year have been so dry. You are the goat I just miss the old material and layout
That list of things taken from his house are just horrible to imagine. Even if he isn’t a killer it all just reeks of a man with serious emotional issues.
Lazy: “…the suspect obsessively searched information about the LISK, his victims, and ‘Asian male twink’…” Me, sweating as I delete my search history: “yup that’s suspicious alright”
Thanks for the video, just wanted to say I really like your narrative style. Always happy to see a new upload from you :) remember to not overwork yourself, specially considering you cover heavy topics. Take care!
i think finding out my mom and her brothers went to the same school and were in the same grade as the LISK was one of the most wild things to find out this year
I grew up on LI, and in 2010-2012 I was in high school, in my "I wanna go into forensic psych in college" phase. I was fascinated by this case to the point where my journalism teacher and I had this off-color bit where he pretended to be convinced I was the LISK (at the time he was also called the Gilgo Beach Killer in local news). My condolences to the ex-wife and children of the apparent real culprit. I hope they can get the support they undoubtedly need at this time.
It's crazy that the LISK finally has been identified, especially when I had just watched a documentary series on Hulu back in March about the multiple related cases. I really feel for the victims and their families, and i hope that the "Doe's" finally have their identities restored, and their families can have closure.
They won’t do anything to him. In prison serial killers are not usually treated badly. 😂 plus the fact he got rid of useless track lizards earns respect.
I'm almost positive he is being segregated from the other prisoners. He is most likely in a cell by himself 23 hours a day, and has no contact with anyone other than the guards.
Heh heh… "It's important to remember that he's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Now here are all the reasons he's definitely not innocent." I'm probably a horrible person for finding that amusing. XD
When I was doing research about serial killers , i came to the unsooved cases back in 2017, and I saw the LISK , and back then it was unsooved , and I wished back then that I could have seen the monster behind this before long and I am glad that the bastard is finally caught , its really happy me to see a unsolved mystery being solved , specially one like this.
Bro, I have been listening to you for years and every bit of it has been great. I put you in the top horror TH-camrs because of the quality of each video. Really, really great stuff. If you ever feel up to it, I would DIE for a western horror video, pertaining to the Western United States particularly.
This is my "hometown crime". we'd be warned about the Gilgo Killer during high school, when going out late, etc. we all sleep easier knowing this sick man is finally in custody.
Hail to Shannon Gilbert, R. I. P. I remember seeing on zone reality, or crime investigation that law enforcement thought that 2 serial killers were lurking in the long Island area, and maybe they knew about each other and so were tossing human parts into their dumping areas to make them, one to the other, aware, or some kind of game between SK, or head's up, this is my dumping ground, almost like dexter in the TV series quickly would find another serial killer...
Late to this, but earlier this year or last year, there was another L.I.S.K. And when questioned did say there is several serial killers on Long Island.
There are 3 options - the 2 that you mention and...he moved somewhere else & continued killing there, then moved back to Gilgo area years later and carried on.
This story always made me imagine it like a horror movie. Like Shannon was doing the same line of work at a different house and the spirits of the girls bombarded her with visions of their final moments. This breaks Shannon and she flees. The ghosts follow her trying to get her to discover them but she ends up dying in the marsh. But eventually the ghosts got their way and Shannon wasn’t found until they were.
I am glad that this monster in human form has been picked up. I commend all law enforcement officers who had to study and inflict this horror on their lives to keep the rest of us safe.
Can we not speculate that the victims might have brought their fates on them by being scammers. There is only proof of that once and that unfounded speculation that the others didnthe same is kind of victim blamey
Hopefully with time he will face charges for more of the other deaths. Despite the victims being prostitutes they, their families and loved ones deserve justice.

There is a 3rd option of why his wife's hair would be found on the bodies. You said the wife was out of town when this happened yes? Well isn't it possible he brought the women to his house?
Lazy Masquerade is not lazy. These videos are very good. Don't be mislead everybody!
Isn't that such a stunningly unexpected way for a serial killer to be discovered. A prostitute has a mental breakdown and calls the police saying she's being attacked, then proceeds to accidentally drown exactly where a serial killer of prostitutes had been dumping bodies for years. If that's the kind of luck it takes to find a serial killer graveyard then how many are never discovered
It’s a bit too coincidental, don’t you think? I just do not agree she isn’t part of the same crimes. And there may be more than one killer. Some of the search warrants list looking for evidence of conspiracy-may just be his brother covering for him or may not. That town is a dark, dark place.

@@SirHumphrey498🤖🤖🤖
I'd assume there are a lot more people being killed and serial killers out there then we actually assume. Pretty scary to think about especially when you hear about people just missing and never being found. I usually assume they were killed or trafficked.
@@SirHumphrey498it’s a video about a serial killer, not a party
I am in no place to judge....but I will say the description the witness gave of being "ogre-like" was shockingly spot on.

Unless you’re a gigantic serial killer, judge away. I doubt you’re going to find anyone getting offended on this animals behalf.
Whenever I watch true crime videos I think about what I was doing in my life while someone, somewhere in the world, was being murdered. Like while we are all going about a typical day, someone else is being murdered. I can’t fathom it sometimes. I’m so glad this guy was caught. I read recently his wife has breast cancer. I hope she is able recover
Someone was probably murdered during the time your typed that comment!
I think about this also. Like right this second someone's life is being snuffed out but someone else is also being born
We're not the main characters
Remember people are also being born, finding love, having a good time. Murder is revolting because it's an aberration, an anomaly. Remember to avoid true crime content when things start to look too bleak, it's interesting but can cause some serious anxiety.
@@mlorencetti1Good point, thank you for sharing this.
Most serial murder cases seem so distant in history, watching one unfold in this time is an odd feeling. I feel sick in a different way, it's so disturbing knowing he was walking around free just a few weeks ago and how many others are. Humans are scary.
Him calling up these women's family members and friends saying he's going to watch them decay, my brain just wants to reject that someone is capable of such depravity. What even is this world?
1 person out of 8 billion+ kills a handful of people, sure it’s absolutely horrific, but we’re a lot safer now than 50-60 years ago. Those were the days you’d go to a big city and have 2-3 serial killers active + truckers going around, everything was a threat. The death of innocence, I’d say. The end of the age of the Good Samaritan. Heck, back then you’d get serial killers racking up a 40 person+ body count.
We’re safer now than ever from violent crime not tied to drugs, the only thing I could see as a true threat that really hasn’t changed is SA. Killers realistically cannot exist in an age with genealogy tech advancing. Eventually, people will realize this. The killers today most likely feel as if they have nothing to lose. Fear those people, to be honest.
Because for the most part it plays out like it does in this video. What's scarier is the fact there are more murders happening than you think, not all of them get reported in news same as missing people, so there is a chance you can live next to a serial killer and you will never know until they are caught or YOU become a victim yourself.
I watched the BTK case unfold in live time. I remember the day Ted Bundy was executed and John Wayne Gacey. And I definitely remember watching the Jeffrey Dahmer arrest & trial unfold in live time as well as his death!
It was he, BTK, & David Koresh that got me interested in Forensic Psychology & Criminal Justice to begin with!
The scary thing is at any given moment there’s up to 25 serial killers operating across the country! We now have a database for HSK Highway Serial Killers.
@@SlipknotForevahokay....we're a lot safer, good. But it is still incredibly scary knowing that there are people out there with the capacity to do things like this. It is so far away from MY reasoning MY capacity of empathy and justice and everything good that it defies comprehension. It's like how vast infinity is...I KNOW of it conceptually but on a personal level I could never fully comprehend and it seems like some sort of fairy tale to earnestly reflect upon it.
To know that their are people out there FUNCTIONING/THRIVING and masquerading as something we should aspire to with this level of empathy (none... and in fact need thrills to feel pleasure) in society with no repercussions since they're victims aren't murders but 'just' the injustices of the world...did you know that CEO's have a MUCH higher percentage of being clinically psychopathic to do the work they do? No person with empathy and long term thinking skills for societal well being could sign off on some of the heartless things they do....As a society we don't often see them for what they are since I earnestly think in a certain way a lot of psychopaths/sociopaths/narcissists have toxic traits we seem to envy and want to emulate. We put these people on pedestals and pretend like they are okay and anyone with a different opinion is treated like the outsider...it is a society problem as in what we value.... anyways rant over.
All I initially came here to say was, it is like looking at a skin walker....they may look and act like we do, but that's only because they are deceiving us as all times...it is absolutely terrifying the wolf in sheep's clothing...and for anyone with deviant thoughts believing they are normal, get help....they are not.
@@SlipknotForevahtoo bad blm, antifa and the lgbt+ are trying to make everything unsafe now.
i feel really bad for his children first and foremost. losing a father is one thing, but knowing that your father was a serial killer is less than stellar.
Wow! Yes I feel for his kids.... But he is not dead, what about the loved ones of the murdered? Surely they are higher on the list for empathy??
@@msreb2700 of course, it's just rare for serial killers to have kids and it was just... a weird realisation i suppose
@@msreb2700i agree with you, however the victims' families had time to process it as much as one can really process a death. his kids looked up to him and now are forced to regard him as a bad person - despite however they may have previously thought about him. in my experience, losing someone who hasnt died hurts more than losing someone to death (x100 since its to life in prison), and the victims families are definitely having fresh feelings about it but so are the sk's kids. everyone suffers in murder cases.
@@msreb2700you can have empathy for multiple people at the same time, you know.
@@msreb2700why are you saying it like the children deserve the pain of knowing that their father is a cold blooded serial killer
It’s crazy that Shannon’s case led to the investigation and apprehension of a prolific serial killer and brought justice to all those other women, and it was (as far as we know) completely unrelated to her death. I’ve struggled with mental illness all my life too and I can’t even imagine how scared she must have been in that marsh, her own mind playing tricks on her, drowning all alone in the dark. What a horrible, horrible way for anyone to go… I hope she has peace wherever she is now and that her family is able too as well someday
Her poor mother and sister too. So many lives ruined and families destroyed so senselessly
Is that wats called a person that eats to much sereal? Kkkkk
This reminds me of the police digging up a grave and finding a corpse under a corpse. It turned out that there were even more and at least three different types of murder and burial... It was apparently just a convenient dumping ground outside the city, easy to reach, offering the privacy and the only place in the region where digging was easy...
"Only place in the region" to dig? Get out of here. LI is bigger than it looks on a map and there are plenty of places to dispose of bodies. If he drove west there is rural land and even more secluded beaches. I'm not convinced he did all the murders yet, but all the bodies being in this small area is a bigger coincidence than you are making it out to be.
@@danadecker4855 it wasn't LI. Most places in the area I meant were too rocky or had too much roots
I’ve lived in LI all my life, and have always been extremely paranoid about the LISK. Hearing about the victims that lived in areas I used to, or being close to gilgo beach hoping to god no one becomes the next victim. And when everyone found out he was in Mass park?!? This whole time!! It’s just. Crazy. I’m so glad the victims get a step forward to Justice after all these years.
Wouldn't be surprised at all to find out the early murders are connected as well. We know from BTK that these types of serial killers can go "dormant" for several years during their children's formative years. Wouldn't be surprised at all to find these "quiet" years line up to when the children were born.
For instance, you can surmise that architect had business travels, work opportunities, conventions to attend and such, which would explain why he wasn't active in Long Island at the time. When he started to be active again, he finally built up enough of a customer base in the area to stay rooted there.
Definitely wouldn't be surprised either. I just hope the families get closure finally.
How curious that these disease minded killers pull it together for their own kids. Their truly is a dissacociation that is impossible to comprehend. Maybe they feel love and a type of contentedness but it fades when kids leave that cute phase and try to be independant. Who can say.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his dormant period started right when he got married. It would also explain the change in his M.O. Before, he was single and didn’t have anyone expecting him home, so he had plenty of time to dismember the bodies and dump them where he wanted. After he got married, he quit for awhile because his wife would expect him home most of the time, and he couldn’t just take off for a few hours at a time. Eventually though, his urges catch up to him and his home life becomes routine, so he wants that feeling again. The only difference is that he doesn’t have all night or a proper place to dismember bodies. It also wouldn’t look good for him to show up at home covered in scratches and blood. So, he just strangles them, wraps them up, and dumps them at his spot. I’d also bet he wore leather or other thick clothes when he killed those women, specifically so they couldn’t scratch or bite him and leave marks.
I found myself visiting family in Long Island. I took a detour to Gilgo Beach. I walked along the parkway at night to the area where the Gilgo Four were found. The brush is incredibly thick and the waves are loud. The only signs of life were the occasional passing car or moored boat. It feels indescribably lonely and desolate for somewhere only an hour away from the largest city in the US.
Something I have learned from channels like yours is that you should never go hiking, jogging, or just walking alone with earbuds or headphones on.
I will walk to the store while listening to something, but I only have one earbud in so I can hear what's going on around me.
Sorry to your sponsor, lol!
Same.
That's what I do anyways.
You’re less likely to get killed while walking alone outside than being in a public place. You are also more likely to get killed by the man you sleep with or are partnered with than some random stranger. Remember that.
@@dreamsprayanimation I am happily divorced, and due to being on medication that reduces my immune system, I don't go out in public much.
So hopefully I will be able to avoid trouble 😁
i was on the train in philadelphia and came across a sign that said something similar and also something along the lines of “dont let your guard down”. thats stuck with me ever since
According to an ex-escort who had met LISK… Rex kept bringing up the Gilgo Beach murders. He even asked what her thoughts were on how Shannon Gilbert died. Allegedly, he said that he believed Shannon was murdered by LISK.
I find it kind of weird he would say such a thing.
Especially, since Shannan's cause of death in her initial autopsy was undetermined, but Shannan's family decided to get a second opinion. The second autopsy found that Shannan "met a violent end, that she was strangled,".
and i really trust the guy considering the previous autopsies hes done
I live on LI.. been out in this area many times.. it’s really disturbing to know that these beaches are also graves to those that had their lives taken from them.. it’s honestly scary
So happy to see this case solved. The story of Shannan Gilbert has haunted me for years.

It's NOT solved. There's still a second, separate unrelated killer out there. Rex is only responsible for "The Gilgo 4." The other 6 bodies don't fit his M.O. She needs to find killer #2 now.

LISK wife's hair on 3 of the victims will bury him under the jail. His wife's hair simply was on his clothes when she did his laundry together with hers and it just transfer near the victims during the attacks. Everyone knows the wife is not the one who assaulted him but they all link him to the attacks.
"Trace evidence." They can link everything with it, even animal hair. Very impressive forensics work.
Yeah, I thought about transfer too. Some killers have pets too, and it doesn't necessarily mean they were in the crime scene when you find their hair. Interestingly, these can be utilized as evidences as well, to indirectly incriminate an owner being suspected!
@nozoto Absolutely right and they did it in this case.
I bet pets wouldn’t live long around him.

That hair thing is so real. My wife has looooooong hair, easily 2 feet in length. I cannot count the number of times I've done a load of laundry and went to put on a shirt only for one of her hairs to be inside the shirt and end up draped across my head when I put my head through the hole of the shirt. It's damn near weekly!
There's been more than one occasion where my boyfriend has made himself a meal while I'm at work and *still* found one of my hairs in his food lol
@@vaellyth Haha. The worst offender is actually our cat. He was her cat when we started dating. I can't count the number of times I'd be in my closet at my apartment (where the cat had never been) and I'd find his hair on clothes I never wore to her condo.
It was always annoying when it was one of my suits since I had to wear them to work often, most were black/grey and the cats fur is all white.
My hair is down to my knees and my fiance is constantly finding hairs - even one behind their eye once and apparently pulling it out and it just kept coming was a traumatic experience :P
Lmao… every wife with long hair (including me) just did a double check on your username to make sure you’re not their hubby venting about our wayward hair. 😉
the one woman was found on my birthday, it’s strange and so freaking sad to think how a family discovered their daughter wasn’t going to age ever again while i was celebrating getting another year older. i hope all of the victims and their families are getting on well and remembering to celebrate life when they can.
Maybe light a candle for her each year now. Little things bring light into the world.
The baby was found on mine 😔
It's always crazy to me when serial killers/grapists turn out to be married with children. Then i remember some of the thoughts I've had toward people who've hurt me in my life and it's not so weird. It truly shows the compartmentalization that the human mind is capable of.

I appreciate that you take the time to humanize sex workers and addicts who were murdered. so much true crime media doesn’t bother, and even victim-blames them because of their profession or substance use.
Fr. No one deserves to die because they’re a sex worker
I love that you noticed that. One of my good friends works as an escort. She’s beautiful and used to do fitness competitions and was/is a personal trainer.
She got married to a horrible man (in jail for attempted murder) - he introduced her to drugs and she became addicted. She has a disabled kid that her Dad watches.
She would always be in nice hotels. I would pick her up to shop groceries, occasionally we would have coffee or even a cocktail. She had an arrest record and had some enemies stemming from her addiction. She had no social media at all. She said it’s hard for her to get and hold down a job so on etc.
She would wake up, work out, do drugs, escort. I stopped hearing from her two years ago. Her number that she’s had forever stopped working. I HOPE that she’s healthy somewhere but I think that she’s dead - either drugs or murder. I can’t find anything on her - I was thinking about hiring a PI but for what really?
@@Initium1000 Well, if, god forbid, your friend is currently a Jane Doe, hiring a PI could help identify her and being closure not just to you but to the others who care about her. The odds are very minimal though. I don't know if I personally would want to get my hopes up by hiring a PI at all...
@@raerohan4241 I’m hesitant to look but doubt that she is. I say this because she was so fit and would have sticking features BUT there’s been beautiful Jane Doe’s. I remember as she didn’t have a car I would drive her to get heroin/fentanyl. She would get so aggressive with her dealers over the phone. I would worry about that.
This was in PA - it’s a huge state with a vast wilderness and a lot of missing persons.
I love her very much as a person but to be transparent I had addiction issues as well. I think most likely she OD’d and she was claimed by the family.
To be transparent, I had addiction issues as well at the time (I was an alcoholic, did percs, xan, adderall, ambien and coke). My HOPE is that she’s ok and understandably wants to leave her past far behind and leave people like the person I was behind.
I had a good support system to help me. I had parents, therapy and rehab. As far as I know she didn’t have that.
If I find her, I will update this thread.
Addicts get close to each other. They have a different intimacy because they understand that we’re truly messed up so you become close.
Anyway, I’m rambling. I just miss her and hope she’s ok
They don't deserve to die, but they choose to that dangerous lifestyle. No different than a drug dealer. Living the street life is a dangerous and most time, a short life.

This is beyond crazy, a woman suffers an episode in which she is convinced to be chased by someone who matches the profile of the LISK and drowns in her attempt to flee from her imagined encounter with such a person, after which her body uncovers countless victims who died the way she imagined she was going to die. It almost sounds as if it can't be true. The reason I believe this was an episode and not a true event with the killer is because a person offered her shelter to hide until authorities came to help her, no person in mortal danger would react to that by running the other way. Even if the person offering help had bad intentions, if you're being chased you'll take whatever hope you get.
It makes sense the disposal method would change. The time between the first and second set of crimes saw big advances in DNA testing…there was no longer a benefit to keeping easily identifiable body parts (skull, hands, etc.,) better hidden, so he skipped a step and just dumped them bundled up.
Just in time for my nightly ritual of spooky videos before bed. Love your work man, thanks for all the great vibes! 😄
Lazy, your cold case episodes are honestly some of my favorite videos of yours, and I am seriously stoked to see this one come up just as I am about to get done with work for the day and head home, because it means I will have something interesting to listen to on the drive.

The fact bro doesn’t eat the crust of the pizza is all the evidence you need, it’s the sign of a true man-child/serial killer
Its so infuriating that the only reason it took this long for him to get caught, was because some cops decided to actually do their job.
The blood of all these women are on the entire PD's hands for their infuriating laziness
They were already dead though, it’s not like their incompetence caused them to die in the first place. I think saying blood is on their hands is over stating the case. I’m sure they have blood on their hands for many many other reasons though

I had moved away from the area before LISK began his vicious murders, but am so thankful we can finally put this case to rest. Kudos to you for the correct pronunciation of various Long Island cities, they're not easy!
Good work Lazy! This is a huge case with lots of bodies. Good that you pointed out there may be more than one SK. Apparently there was also a separate dumping ground of bodies that was linked to Gilgo Beach somehow. Scary people out there!
I live in Long Island. I can’t believe I’ve been out walking in woods and areas where there was no people while there was a serial killer on the loose. Seriously disturbing stuff. Somehow you just never think your place of residence will ever host a serial killer.
This happened around my hometown and growing up watching these things happen in real time was wild. Thank you for covering this!!
Great Video! Ive covered the case as well and have interviewed people involved.
The only correction is that they weren't all strangled. The Police Chief says their other ways then strangling.
One of the victims sister indicated that they found panties showed down her throat and alludes to this as the cause of death not Strangulation
Although technically wrong, he may be using it as an umbrella term or be unaware of the difference
@Dr170 yeah, I made a video myself and said the same thing. I had to dig very very deep to find those details.

Hair can only be used as clas evidence. Anybody who says hair (without the bulb) is a certain or near certain match to a particular person is not being fully honest.
The fact that the victim said, “THEY are trying to kill me.” Makes the fact that the wife’s hair found on the bodies of the other victims ominous and disturbing. They could have held the victims in the dungeon until the wife was out of town so that the slayings wouldn’t be tied to her. There’s no way a man can build a soundproof torture chamber in their house without at least the wife knowing about it.
Except he didn't have a soundproof room in his house..
Imagine being the wife and having to deal with all the shock and publicity all of a sudden and then also being accused by a minority for taking part in murders that you had nothing to do with.
It's worth a bit of thought perhaps, but I don't think there's enough evidence pointing towards that, at least not that's presented in the video (I'm admittedly not familiar with this case). Shannon was paranoid enough at the moment to run from anybody, no matter what, even people who seemingly tried to help her (they?).
@@klaatuNaatu imagine white knighting for an accessory to murder.
@CrumpledPaperHearts It's not white knighting, it's pointing out the truth. Her hair being on the victim isn't really surprising, it's his wife, she's probably been all over that car. Kind of like when they find dog hairs on a victim, doesn't mean the dog took part. She may have said, "Their" because she thought there was more than one and/or she wasn't sure if it was a man or woman after her, she just knew someone was.
As for her not knowing about the torture chamber, similar cases have happened before. Even more extreme than this too, like the guy who held his daughter hostage for decades, raped/impregnated her all while his wife/her mother knew nothing while living above the very place her daughter was held.
@@gaaraxnarupeople would rather be deceived and fed lies as opposed to the truth in such matters smdh. But yes, the "sound proofed dungeon" has been completely debunked and by the very authorities dealing with this case stating it was nothing more than a DIY gun room made of plywood and no ceiling to contain his vast gun collection and I'm disappointed in lazy Masq for perpetuating such a fallacy.
FYI, while LISK is the catchier name, most locals and local authorities used the "gilgo beach killer" moniker, at least in part because there was another serial killer from long island, and also in part because of the different MOs between the gilgo 4 and the rest of the victims. While I strongly suspect rex will get tied to at least some of the others, He's still just the gilgo beach killer for now. LISK was mainly popularized by a documentary.
See, this is why you always finish your crust. Also, I think the belt might not be an initial but rather an H&M belt.
Poor Shannon…. It’s awful how sex workers are seen as somehow deserving of death 😢
They don't deserve to die. But if they were working an honest job, they would definitely not have been targeted.
@@Kangaroojack1986You are wrong. Women from all backgrounds are targeted and murdered. In fact, the majority of women who are murdered are killed by their male partner or ex.
@@cleoldbagtraallsorts3380You do know that most females in nature of many species are more vicious right? Most of the time, when men do it, it’s from infidelity or having kids taken away. When women do it, it’s for money.
@cleoldbagtraallsorts3380 im talking about this specific case. You know the one in the video we are commenting on... where the serial killer targeted prostitutes

You, Corpse Husband and Be Busta were the reason I became a horror narration addict and I thank you for that. Stay spooky buddy. Big love and respect from Belleville Illinois, USA.
Same. XD
Those are my 3 favorites
No.. just no 😂😂😂 not corpse husband 🤣🤣
I haven't thought about be Busta in years, im gunna have to look him up
@@narcleptik I was listening to him years before he switched to gaming and music.
Corpse husband... Lmao alr
Lazy Masquerade, you're the best.
He is
Unfortunately, Shannon’s case is the only one I have doubts on what really happened. They didn’t find drugs in her system only because her body had been left in the elements for nearly a year. Her phone call, to me, she sounds so inebriated that I can’t help but have doubts.
Im surprised they were even allowed to test her seeing as it's only really accurate if the body is "new". 1 year is seriously stretching the result, even if you take hair samples..
@@PoptartParasol exactly. The medical examiner even said that, because she was a known drug user, not finding ANY trace was odd in of itself. But that being out in the elements that long made everything difficult
Lisk and Original Night Stalker getting caught in real time in in the last few years is something
Greetings from Iceland, just your favorite Icelander strolling by. Great job as always
"Innocent until proven guilty" proceeds to read out ridiculous levels of guilty evidence...
its just legal speak to not get sued, he cant outright say the guy is guilty but he can present all of the information and let us come to the conclusion that he definitely killed those people
I was an escort in New England around this time. We all used to advertise on Craigslist. This scares the shit out of me.
I had a co worker say the same thing. She worked around New Haven Connecticut traveling a little ways toward New York. Super scary to think of all the things that can happen 😣
its so surreal to hear you talking about this case, I work just a few blocks away from where this guy was, and I've been a subscriber of yours for years. I'm just glad they finally got him.
14:45 I always wondered why Amber would meet a guy, who she set up, the following day? Or ever? I’d think your safety would decrease dramatically going on a “date” with someone you previously robbed.
Perhaps it wasn’t her choice, if she had a p1mp it’s likely they made her meet him
@@Kubulek17 I never thought of that. You're right
Lazy I’ve been listening to your content since 2014. I want another roadtrip across the country series about each state. The videos over the last year have been so dry. You are the goat I just miss the old material and layout
That list of things taken from his house are just horrible to imagine. Even if he isn’t a killer it all just reeks of a man with serious emotional issues.
choking is so that no blood is left after a murder, not personal or nothing. Just cleaner is all.
Lazy: “…the suspect obsessively searched information about the LISK, his victims, and ‘Asian male twink’…”
Me, sweating as I delete my search history: “yup that’s suspicious alright”
Thanks for the video, just wanted to say I really like your narrative style. Always happy to see a new upload from you :) remember to not overwork yourself, specially considering you cover heavy topics. Take care!
those initials really intrigued me as well as the wife’s hair being found on three of the victims
i think finding out my mom and her brothers went to the same school and were in the same grade as the LISK was one of the most wild things to find out this year
God knows how many victims this men really has. This are just the ones found. 😢
The latest details of this case are even worse than anyone would imagine.
I grew up on LI, and in 2010-2012 I was in high school, in my "I wanna go into forensic psych in college" phase. I was fascinated by this case to the point where my journalism teacher and I had this off-color bit where he pretended to be convinced I was the LISK (at the time he was also called the Gilgo Beach Killer in local news).
My condolences to the ex-wife and children of the apparent real culprit. I hope they can get the support they undoubtedly need at this time.
It's crazy that the LISK finally has been identified, especially when I had just watched a documentary series on Hulu back in March about the multiple related cases. I really feel for the victims and their families, and i hope that the "Doe's" finally have their identities restored, and their families can have closure.
The LISK has not been identified, and likely never will be
I can’t wait to hear reports of how the other prisoners treat LISK. I hope they keep him alive for years.
They won’t do anything to him. In prison serial killers are not usually treated badly. 😂 plus the fact he got rid of useless track lizards earns respect.
You're disgusting for commenting something like that he doesn't deserve any sort of respect @@UnknownUser-fe5zu
@@UnknownUser-fe5zutrack lizards?
I'm almost positive he is being segregated from the other prisoners. He is most likely in a cell by himself 23 hours a day, and has no contact with anyone other than the guards.
@@UnknownUser-fe5zu Super fucked up thing to say about murder victims
Another great one, Lazy!!! Great job at delivery and the story timing and info!!!!!
Can't wait to see your take on the Delphi murders once enough information becomes available
Heh heh… "It's important to remember that he's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Now here are all the reasons he's definitely not innocent." I'm probably a horrible person for finding that amusing. XD
Drop everything, Lazy Chadeurade just uploaded another banger
Seconded. Wonderfully covered with lots of fresh information I have never seen or read any where before 👏👏👏🙏🖤
When I was doing research about serial killers , i came to the unsooved cases back in 2017, and I saw the LISK , and back then it was unsooved , and I wished back then that I could have seen the monster behind this before long and I am glad that the bastard is finally caught , its really happy me to see a unsolved mystery being solved , specially one like this.
Impressive visuals, amazing narration as always 🖤 looking forward to the next shrouded hand collaboration 🎉
Bro, I have been listening to you for years and every bit of it has been great. I put you in the top horror TH-camrs because of the quality of each video.
Really, really great stuff.
If you ever feel up to it, I would DIE for a western horror video, pertaining to the Western United States particularly.
I’ve been following L.I.S.K. Murders for years! So glad they have at caught him and hopefully he is responsible for all the murders!
This is my "hometown crime". we'd be warned about the Gilgo Killer during high school, when going out late, etc. we all sleep easier knowing this sick man is finally in custody.
Hail to Shannon Gilbert, R. I. P.
I remember seeing on zone reality, or crime investigation that law enforcement thought that 2 serial killers were lurking in the long Island area, and maybe they knew about each other and so were tossing human parts into their dumping areas to make them, one to the other, aware, or some kind of game between SK, or head's up, this is my dumping ground, almost like dexter in the TV series quickly would find another serial killer...
Late to this, but earlier this year or last year, there was another L.I.S.K. And when questioned did say there is several serial killers on Long Island.
There are 3 options - the 2 that you mention and...he moved somewhere else & continued killing there, then moved back to Gilgo area years later and carried on.
This story always made me imagine it like a horror movie.
Like Shannon was doing the same line of work at a different house and the spirits of the girls bombarded her with visions of their final moments.
This breaks Shannon and she flees.
The ghosts follow her trying to get her to discover them but she ends up dying in the marsh.
But eventually the ghosts got their way and Shannon wasn’t found until they were.
That is an interesting angle.
It's disrespectful to their memory to liken them to the latest bit of cheesy moronic garbage shat out of Blumhouse
I am glad that this monster in human form has been picked up. I commend all law enforcement officers who had to study and inflict this horror on their lives to keep the rest of us safe.
As a long islander I've never heard the killer being referred to as LISK. We always called them the gilgo Beach killer.
Can we not speculate that the victims might have brought their fates on them by being scammers. There is only proof of that once and that unfounded speculation that the others didnthe same is kind of victim blamey
And that, boys and girls, is why you should always eat the whole pizza. Never discard the crust.
Hopefully with time he will face charges for more of the other deaths. Despite the victims being prostitutes they, their families and loved ones deserve justice.
Yeah, we need to stop looking down on sex workers.
@@Neku628 whores are the best people on earth
This case reminds me a bit of the BTK killer, Dannis Rader, as both he and LISK were caught in part due to their tech illiteracy
ah yes, another wealthy sociopath
Remove that last redundant addendum, please
