It is so sad that the word “prostitute” was used as the main descriptor for these women. Yet in the same sentences the men were just that, men. Why not “John” “sex trafficker” “solicitor of prostitution” or “rapist”
THIS. You hit the nail on the head. Just another one of those commonplace examples of misogyny in society.
You know at some point in the documentary one guy states why they used to word prostitutes …. it was intentional in an attempt to despell the uncomfortability folks have with the word
@@Zorazora1234 still doesn’t explain why they didn’t refer to the men as sex buyers, johns, solicitors of prostitution…
Engaging in illegal acts is criminal. Why not just call them suspects? IMHO it is because men have always wanted prostitutes, and that is supposed to legitimize the whole thing.
@@Zorazora1234 People who were engaging in illegal activities, why not just call them suspects?
He’s so enormous. Those poor women must’ve been beyond terrified.
I feel so sad for his victims. They didn’t stand a chance 😢
i feel sick. you are so right.
His head is absurdly large. It looks like it weighs 80lbs by itself.
@@meepk633which head?
Bro was an architect for a living, but his house is pitiful. Adds a whole new layer of creepy to this case.
It's normal shoemaker with no shoes
Typical of Narcissists.
They don't translate their professional skills to their personal lives like normal people.
It was his childhood home so I don't think it's that creepy. Maybe he wanted it to be kept the way it was when he was growing up. I saw photos of the inside and the kitchen and bathroom looked new/renovated. It's the outside that is dilapidated.
He was not only a MURDERER but a CHEAP ASS!!!
He was real bizzy
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
No woman deserves this evil. RIP ladies. God bless. To the families: I am so sorry. Watching from 🇨🇦
If it wasn't for Shannon's mother and John Ray the lawer the police would have swept it under the rug
Connections are being made between James Burke, Rex H., and police sergeant, a priest and a doctor in Oak Beach. They definitely are sweeping it under the rug.
Seems like they did their best to.
surprise surprise
Shannan has nothing to do with these murders though, beyond dying in the same area
Lawyer! Learn to spell if you are posting to public forums 😂
The journalists covering this story were/are incredible. They went above and beyond to tell the story of these victims and they never gave up.
They did a fantastic job for sure.
Makes me angry the first thing they say after her name is a prostitute. Stop doing that. Say it later because I know it is the truth. But come on. Not the first thing you say after their name.
They label them prostitutes to devalue them.
@@Chac500
And it's wrong. They are women.
They say that because it’s relevant. I hope other prostitutes hear that and are more careful. I think of it as a service to current prostitutes to think twice.
@@Chac500 What is that? Some feminazi shit? It's not to devalue them. It's to give the facts and to establish how he gained access to some of his victims. None of his victims seemed to mind the label as long as the money was good.
typical, will complain about literally anything. there's nothing untrue about what they've said.
if someone is "labelled" a prostitute when they're actually a prostitute then they aren't really being "labelled" at all, it's just a fact
To those who say these women had dysfunctional families who didn't properly care for them; your CLASSISM is showing!
Society doesn't talk about CLASS prejudice as much as racism but it's just as real. Longitudinal studies from childhood repeatedly demonstrate poverty is a strong predictor of negative life outcomes.
🎯
As classy as the raising of Huermann & his family home???
Well said..and correct!🌿🕊
Yeah when the chips are down people are forced to do a lot of work they wouldn’t choose if they had other opportunities
The FBI should've been called in immediately! The police chief James Burke needs to be held accountable.
You bet. Something very, very wrong here.
He has so much blood on his hands
I bet he’s involved somehow
@@kathys1285I think so too.
The FBI.😂😂😂😂😂
I can't get over that little baby wrapped up in a blanket dead in that brush, I'm amazed with America and how many babies are found dead dumped in bins, woods, brush, anywhere a murderer can dump them its extremely sad and just so f up...
No respect for life, the absolute beauty of life and innocence. We have become so callous. 💔💔💔
Happens all over the world. However America is unique in that crime stories are extremely popular and as such, crime stories are relentlessly sought out for entertainment purposes. In other countries, with much higher rates of infanticide, they simply don’t make shows about it and popularize it.
My god I hope he didn’t torture the child.
I never hear about it in the news but I guess I don't watch it much anymore. It's too much to take.
Lady, get it the Eff together! "Im amazed with America" Do you not follow the UK crime rate, stories....bc maybe you shoulder pucker up, so you don't make yourself sound so ignorant and bandwagon "Oh those silly dumb Americans again, leave it to them..." the joke is old, check out the UK, start there and make your way around the world...then consider population numbers...I can guarantee you America is not the leading country in this category nor close! By the way I am Irish, born and raisedin Ireland, the crime alone within my country, which is the size of one state in America, geographically, population is literally nada in comparison...the crime rate, the last two decades, is HORRIFIC, Ireland is just not so public with the consensus!!
This is insane. I remember when this happened, I just had my baby.. she's now 13 years old and this is just now getting solved. Rest in peace to those souls.... this is heartbreaking.
The producers could cut an hour out of this and still have the whole story, simply by not constantly repeating the same information.
Reporters are too cheery at times for the type of case this...same could be told with less excitement, smile, calling money shot..etc
MOST REPORTERS/HOST/PRODUCERS HAS THE BAD HABIT OF SENSATIONALISM REPETITION...
James Burke needs to be accountable for the disgusting police work!
Hope I'm not related to him 😂
@@danielleburke87😅😅😅
He gets PAID to do the disgusting work YOU could NEVER DO! As to the quality, it's not an exacting science after the science stops and the conjecture starts.
His cut from the same cloth. Most likely a part of this entire ring.
Some of those bodies probably were put there by cops nobody is that incompetent
Condolences to the families, friends and communities who love these victims and continue to mourn their deaths. I’m sure your hearts are broken and I’m so sorry. I know it’s just from some Internet stranger but it’s no less genuine. May you find peace somewhere, somehow eventually.
I live near there and know a few things , but I could never publicly post it...
@@Evocati-Augusti Yes, there's a lot about Long Island, particularly Suffolk County, that can't be publicly posted.
Thanks
Tundra Woman, well said. The families have endured great heartbreak, and public shame in their times of grief. I hope to heck that trauma counselling is being offered for free by the gov't, to these family members. RIP to the young women, to the poor mom that was killed, and peace/ solace to them all - including the sister who killed their mother. Tragic...
It's such a shame that shanons sister would end up killing their mum
She drowned a puppy too 😢
The family all had some issues
Still breaks my heart Shannon's mom was killed by her own daughter after all she went through.What a life.😭
I’ll never not believe that it was a set up . She lived alone . Mary was a bothersome to the force thinking losing her would stop all this . I believe the sister was called or machines were set up to make her feel crazy . Why the early release ? It’s not abnormal the police n feds played crying babies and phone ringing on a loud speaker on a loop in that Texas cult situation.. I put nothing past them !
What???!!! When??
@@danielleschiazza6172by Sara Elizabeth Gilbert. Her own daughter.&
@@danielleschiazza61722016. Sarra Gilbert stabbed her mother over 200 times and then bludgeoned her. She was apparently suffering from mental illness at the time and hearing voices.
You forgot to mention that Shannon's sister had trauma trying to cope with her demise.
She has schizophrenia, which reared it's ugly head.
Such a sad situation for the Gilbert family.
So a witness says her Cop boyfriend drove one of the victims to Rex's home. A doctor working for the police called Shannon's family and claimed she was at his home. The head of that PD was arrested for meeting a sex worker in a park. Shannon called the police stating someone is trying to kill her. She runs away and somehow she died in a freak accident? I don't buy it. This is a very strange case
More like an active participant
It's always strange when law enforcement is involved.
Just shows how those who were supposed to care, still used her for sx. So so sad.
I have been following this in the UK for a long time and just want to give Kudos to this inciteful view... RIP Mari, Shannon and the Gilgo ladies.... Sending love to your families and hoping all the victims are able to attain justice ❤
@@pallasathena1369that’s what you got out of this?
Thank goodness for Amber Costello's friend/roommate!
Pity that they didn’t use the information as soon as he gave it.
Can you imagine his frustration?
😢
He should be compensated for cracking the case one way or another
You're right! He should be! Especially after the tip was ignored for so long!@@gcc9588
Rest In Peace Miss Shannon 🕊
I don’t think any woman wakes up and says she wants to go into this type of work for a living. My heart goes out to women like this who had to make the choice or felt like they had to make the choice to do this type of work just to live, they paid with their lives. May God keep these families in his arms😢😢
I hate the term word prostitute...they our working girls or escorts bless those young women hope justuce is served for these young women and there familys freinds loved ones in General ❤

excellent documentary! it needs to be advertised better so that it is seen by more people! there are facts in it i had never heard before. may the victims families find peace, and may the killer of the other victims be brought to justice! 🖤🖤🖤
Who hasnt heard all this ten times over the years ..nothing new here at all
@@supme7558I agree completely, extremely repetitive, 10 min piece at best stretched out to a hour and a half.
@@supme7558I agree this needs to be advertised better. I live in Massachusetts and I hadn't heard of it being this big of a case or taking this long to get an arrest. Like the journalist said, it was a while before they did any updates and it was always around the anniversary of when the first remains were found. People tend to forget things that don't affect them on a daily basis, so only hearing about it once every year on the anniversary, IF they actually do catch the news about it, it's not something that's on the top of their minds. Besides, when you're not getting the full story, and it never seemed like they were getting anywhere or closer to finding who did it, it was just same old news with nothing new. I just don't think it's that crazy of an idea that this case should be covered by more local area news sources in other states. It wouldn't be too hard to fathom that whoever else might have been using that area the same way as that D-BAG to be from MA or CT, even RI. That's saying if he isn't connected to the others. I just hope for the victims and their loved ones sake that this gets solved so all can have justice and closure. RIP to those victims, and condolences to their loved ones. 🙏
TH-cam is ghetto of fake vids, commercials, misinfo, etc , and in the hands of the same thugs blocking free speech and any criticism of their kind...
Some of us aren't old enough to remember when this started or were too busy to watch updates, so I enjoy seeing the different reporters' opinions on how they felt as they had to report about it.
I had no idea that Shannon mom was murdered too, very sad😢great documentary
@@The14lbBaby she definitely suffered in her life, I'm so sorry she was murdered but at least she is with Shannon now may they rip
Amazing so many have never heard this when it’s been known widely the entire time that Shannon’s name has been mentioned. The family had serious mental health issues, & her sister killed her mother, known & publicly released on every front page at the time. Had it not been for her mother the other bodies would have never been found. I’m more amazed at how many people claim to not know this, yet also claim to follow Shannon’s story.
Shannon obviously ran and got away from the pos and then hid in the brush and that’s how she’s died
She did not make that call and then end up in that place
She was definitely a victim 1 way or another of that POS
@@dudemorris7769 Not everyone is a US citizen and not everyone follows this 100% of the time and it appeared to go off the boil for awhile, also not every US citizen looks at mainstream media. Just a thought or two...
Oohhh, terrible!!! I didn’t know about it either.... I wonder how or if the murders are connected.....😮
It looks like Rex and several people within the police department or affiliated, are involved… The victims and their families deserve so much more justice.
amen.
I think Rex's wife is involved too even though they say she's not!
@@luludepontes1 they had 40 guns in their house
@@luludepontes1your hair doesn’t just end up on two dead bound bodies
It does if you don’t clean your house much and your husband is using tape and supplies from the house.
The pizza crust pinned him to it. How they caught him...was a witness in the beginning . Amber's costello room mate. The police department never followed up on it.
They waited ten years to follow up his critical identifying information.
What's interesting is that the brush was so thick and tough for LE to navigate, and yet the killer didn't seem to have a problem---apparently, even in the dark.
He/they maybe had hunting gear on when dumping them ?
Ya police was complaining about tic’s poison ivy and pricked bushes
Exactly 💯
Corruption police and everyone else stating she was not connected...
two words.. FLAIL MOWER
Like the Suffolk strangler in the uk when they were finding bodies next to each other. Its so shocking.
RIP to all on both sides of the pond.
I had the same thought the amount of times he could have been caught!
God bless all effected
Tho' he was a spree killer rather than a serial killer. Tho' possibly (probably?!) also a serial killer. But sex workers and small underweight victims the most targeted victims of SKs b/c they go for most vulnerable b/c they r gutless little nobody's trying to feel powerful 😢

He didn't do anything wrong, these victims were all criminals.
Help me understand. Is murder not a crime? I'll play along@@BoomerElite4u
@GaiaOnline It doesn’t matter that they the victims were prostitutes. They were still human beings. And yes he did do wrong if he murdered them.
They weren't born prostitutes!! They were born and given a name! That word is so judgmental and degrading so they should be laid to rest with the name they were given at birth!! This story moved me to tears!! These girls were maybe troubled but they are still human!!❤
Absolutely right

Calling them sex workers isn't any better.
Maybe 1 day we can care about these women like we do our own children, b4 they're murdered and subtly blamed by a grotesque society we've created!
@@adammccartin7000 absolutely right👌
Shannan Gilbert died panicking in the same exact spot where a serial killer dumped multiple bodies for years? Nah dog. These cops denied that there even WAS a serial killer or that these bodies were the result of one cause for the longest time. Something stinks.
No she was miles away from the bodies. She died in the marsh on Oak Beach. The others were found at Gilgo

I'll like to believe that Shannon passed over & seen all these wandering spirits & did what she could do within her spiritual confines to assist in their uncovering & recognition. "No man left behind." shannon❤
♥️♥️♥️
If not for Shannon Gilbert the other victims would not have been found.
Shannan KNEW she was going to die. No question.
She figured it out. It was a killing party. I believe the weirdo who called her mom was involved.
Sadly Shannon was drugged out of her mind & known to her friends to always drug up before going to meet a trick she met on Craigslist. Every single person, including her mother, admitted to her drug use, mental health issues gone untreated that ran in the family. Sadly she didn’t wait at any one of the 3 homes that called the cops for her. I believe it was her driver who got tired of chasing her down the street who went after her and she ran and hid, succumbing to the elements. Shannon died due to her own hysterical reaction and not waiting on the help, that was on the way. Her sister later killed her mother on untreated mental health disease. Unfortunately, nobody killed Shannon but like her sister, her own worst enemy. Her mother didn’t die in vain as she did fight to help find her daughter, & in turn, found many other people who were victims. It’s also been known for years there’s at least 3 serial killers working this area & the Gilgo beach area was a good hiding ground.
@@dudemorris7769Such an ignorant comment with all the evidence that has come out go do some more research. Shannon was killed that night and there was a whole ring of corruption in law enforcement at the time. We know this to be fact now. Shannon was murdered. She was a smart girl. You’re talking like you were there. Please you have no idea what you’re speaking on.
Joe Brewer's next door neighbor was Rex Heurmann's priest and friend. Yes, he lived there the night Shannon vanished.
This clearly states professional toxicology found zero evidence.
That’s a great documentary!Honestly, this is the first time I finally have a clear explanation of Shannon’s phone call and what most likely happed to her. And just overall, this documentary presents all these scattered facts in a concise manner. Thank you!
This is definitely the most thorough concise murder mystery about those victims. RIP and hopefully their families will be closer to justice except for Shannon whose death was by misadventure 😔
Read Robert Kolker’s book or his interview about what happened to Shannan.
@@sycamorekreslikov4642 thanks for the info.
You realize Shannan wasn't the victim of a homicide right
@@sycamorekreslikov4642Hi! Book name?
This was the best I've seen covering the entire story.
A syllogism that is found to be completely apt yet again - "Not every narcissist is a psychopath, but every psychopath is a narcissist".
Yeah I totally agree, this def brings to mind the fact that people tend to not know the real definition of "narcissism". They go ahead and label any abuser/sociopath as a narcissist, but not all abusers have narcissism. And if we are using the colloquial term, people are still applying it wrong. There are plenty of folks out there who are abusive that are far from narcissistic.
Same with those who claim to be "empaths" lol. Everytime I hear one of these people define "empath", they just describe to me what I always thought regular empathy was. They are not empaths, they are just human. Humans have empathy. Big shock, amirite??😮 lol
@@SleepyMeeow I think "empath" is the new "psychic". It's all bologna!
@@SleepyMeeow as a person with NPD, if someone says they're an empath, I think they're likely to be the opposiste.)
@@melodi996 Having npd yourself if true wouldn't give you some superior insight into the empathy of others like you're acting as if it does. Much the *opposite.
@@SleepyMeeowThank you! People use so much jargon these days. It’s annoying as hell.
When one of the girls referred to the guy as looking like an ogre she definitely hit the nail on the head with that description!!! Yeah think?
It was safer in the old days where there was a brothel with a madam in charge.
Prostitution is awful but nothing anyone does will stop it. And killers can now just pick victims off a Craigslist.
Yes safer even the police admit that they not only have madams but security men installed too. I even heard of one abode having a team of paid taxi men to drive them home at the end of a shift. Now it's easy pickings. The men even go to nightclubs or bars to pick someone a nieve girl up for the price of a drink.
Peace out ☮️
Yes legalise it. Pay tax. Keep the girls safe. Security provided. Health checks. It works in Holland
@@dawnfrost5374 with a rehab facility and possible courses to learn. By choice.
Most probably have come from a sad background and just need people who care.
Nevada has it right. The brothels are regulated. The women can refuse services and have regular medical testing. Other states should look into this
I don't know if it was "safer" in the old day? Things just went unsaid. Making things legal don't always make it safer either. I wouldn't mind having brothels so at least women could have some kind of protection.
Those officials who actively prevented investigations should be charged with obstruction of justice. What despicable people
Some of these women died, in part, due to police corruption.
Indeed!
Very shady
Its always been the same since Jack the Ripper and before Highlight the women's occupation and then diminish them 😢
Nothing new here!
Don’t forget enjoy the women first ..
As many cases I've followed and learned of, this one really had my stomach in knots. How devastating
Thank you for filling in all the backstory to this case.
Living in Colorado we didn't know the struggle of the families & media pushing to find answers.
I wonder about the corruption & hope its not all connected.
My heart goes out to everyone affected.
We had a case with similarities in how the police responded or lack of response to the disappearance of a young mother who they said was a "call girl". They didn't look for her. It was locals who got together & created search parties. I searched 1 day with search party. But felt uneasy. Years later she was found not far from where I live. It affected the entire community.
I hope all the cases (which feels like they are connected) get solved.
✌️💙💪
So sad 😞 we have a case here in Albuquerque New Mexico they found about 12 bodies and a baby while digging up ground for a new established Neighborhood it has yet to be solved now the area is a memorial park.
Too bad we didn't have this station reporting on those, may be solved by now. terrifying.
Such horror. So glad families finally have answers. Thank you✌️
The former police sergeant of Suffolk County, who went down in a blaze of hell for beating up Christopher leob he stole something out of James‘s backseat of his car. He didn’t realize it. It was his house. There was drugs, confiscated weapons, and I guess his gun was wasn’t secured, and he found the horrible DVDs of girls, being beaten and crying and just all kinds of weird this is embarrassing. He had all kinds of weird sex toys in there and so they brought the kid in there and he goes you’re a pervert and I guess they he pummeled the kid and tried to cover it up. He got fired. He did four years in federal prison and just the summer he was caught trying to solicit a man or a male ranger for you know what his face looks all sucked up like he’s he’s known to be a crackhead and he kept the FBI out because he was doing so many shady things, the former district attorney, Thomas Spota helped him cover up stuff so they didn’t. The district attorney. Didn’t want the FBI and James Burke didn’t want the FBI involved. This case would’ve been solved 13 years ago. Spared this family the pain that can never be fixed. My heart just goes out to Megan Waterman‘s family her daughter Lily and her mother and grandmother, Melissa Bartholomewy her mom, her dad, her sister, Amanda they got all the creepy phone calls from Mr. Rex Amber Costello her sister Kim Overstreet, who is hurting so bad the loss of her little sister her best friend Dave who helped cracked case by finding out the late model Chevy avalanche that he saw Amber getting into when she left and never came back and Maureen Brainerd Barnes, her sister, Melissa Cann my heart is with you I stand with you as a fellow sister and I’m so sorry that this depraved devil personified as a human being had to enter their lives. I wish I could get my hands on him even though I’m only 5 ft 4
and 120 pounds. There is a special place in hell for him🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙🩵🩵🩵🩵❤️❤️❤️👍🌸🌸🌸🌸🐈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌺🌺🌺🌺✝️✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸❤️
I may have seen the same doco as you. The young fella who stole the police chiefs bag of sex toys and porn.
There was also information about swingers parties that were held out that way. The police chief and other public officials were in attendance.
That was a great doco.
Police transcript are online for this case I read it a few years back and it was so terrible what happened but I was shocked when Christopher found all the smut porn .it's all connected I believe just gotta connect the dots . Burke had a baby witha crack head from Amityville ny I know this for a fact.she was a prostitute
This is the second time watching this. Now that they have this guy, I keep going back to try and make sense of this case. It is mind boggling that this was going on for so long.
Wait....Shannon apparently just laid down and died or drowned but she was found buried??? So who buried her? Who removed her clothes? Because in that cold ass place one thing is for sure, it wasn’t her.
And who broke her hyoid bone and removed her fingers ?
@@Tess-163exaggerating the finger part. This documentary did not say “missing fingers”.

Oh my sweet God, please put the guilty away for all these crimes please.
when is the trial
Shannon Gilbert was murdered. I believe her driver was also involved if anyone listened to the long 911 call to police. Shannon seen something in that last house that she shouldn't have. You could hear her tell her driver "Are You Involved in this & then she said something to the effect you are. You can hear the home owners voice & her drivers trying to get her out of the house & she said no. You could hear the panic in her voice. I followed this from the beginning & if it weren't for Shannon going missing the others would still be their. If it weren't for Shannon's Mother not willing to give up showed how much she loved her & cared about the the other girls too. It was so sad when her Mother was murdered @ the hands of her other daughter. It had to consume these victims families. There was no reason this couldn't have been solved & saved life's long ago.

I got to say , it's not a very compelling case against rex , but I guess DNA, your toast , I'd like to see a little more evidence,
@@arielsfish Hi, I'm not talking about Rex. I'm talking about the doctor that she serviced that night. He even called Shannon's Mother making 💩 up. Rex is probably involved but it's what you can prove & the Jury decides his fate. Take Care! Ontario, 🇨🇦 🐾
This was wonderfully made. My heart goes out to all the family members whose lives where in any wy touch by this horrible crime
Not sure if it's been mentioned but season two of the podcast Unraveled is about this case. It's extremely well done, really informative and thoroughly researched. There are also monthly updates starting in July 2023. It's worth your time.
It is sad that this documentary is mainly about the reporters as if they are heroes or who solved the murders. Some of them speaking with a smile on their face seemed to be content about reporting such gruesome murders. Really, who cares about how cold they felt and why the equipment wasn't working. It seems self-serving and callous. Shannon was murrdered. It was a setup.
There are other documentaries about this serial killer with other takes. This documentary has a unique angle, which is cool.
I completely agree with you.
It is a self serving angle. They are not heroes and they didn't save anyone. People were mutilated including a child. I don't see how that puts a smile on anyone's face. @@andreasplosky8516
read the title!
I totally agree. That’s the vibe I get. Like, the whole first 15 minutes was just the build up of “we could tell this was an enormous story!” Okay then, just tell the story.
His wife needs to be charged and not rewarded for these dearhs.Its disgusting how the police and all other law enforcement are dropping the ball still.
This is the FIRST time I heard a plausible explanation concerning Shannon Gilbert's death. All I ever heard was the police comissiomer say: 'She Drowned' and nothing more.
what an AWESOME JOB they did with this "documentary" news piece!
I really felt for the first two reporters, the male reporter (who actually had to go to the sites where the bodies were found), and the lady/news anchor.
I'm most certain that it will be with them into their old age 🙏
I'm at work right now, watching this documentary. I'm sick to my stomach. These women did not deserve this. My prayers are with the families and friends of these women.
When serial killers take a break it is v often because they are engaged in other parts of their dual life. In 1994 RH was divorced and in this investigation some body parts were found that matched a partial body found on Fire Island in 1996 . He could have taken a break to be a family man b when he first met Asa.
RIP Shannon and her mum to. Terribly sad she fought so hard for Shannon. I am in UK l have heard about this story for a long time. Very sad the whole thing sad her mum never was able to see this through to the end. It angered me how they kept saying Shannon was a prostitute so what does that matter. She was a human being. Terrible corrupt people
Absolutely
This is a great presentation on the history of this case
The killer phoned the families to taunt them - even on the phone of one of the dead women? And they never reported this to the police?
A lot of work has gone into this case, investigative wise and media wise. Great work.
Great documentary! Thank you
This is the best video on this case. Above ABC, CBS & NBC! Well done!
37:14 same here, I lost my cousin to murder in 2005 and she never got justice because she was a heroin addicted sw. RIP Maureen Stryken. RIP Shannon Gilbert.
Rex really looks like a serial killer.
What does a serial killer look like? They look like your neighbor, your boyfriend, the boss, a lawyer , a surfer , a college boy or girl , a school teacher, the electrician, a politician. A homeless person, a truck driver, an executive, a bus driver. Everyone looks like a serial killer because they don't have a certain look. You can't tell. So don't trust anyone.
Yeah, considering they can literally look like anyone .
There is more than 1 serial killer.
Very good possibility
For a moment I waa thinking a group of people
Rex Heurman.
It can be.
james burke i feel has a lot to answer for & this is what makes it creepy. when you hear stories of parties with sex workers & the po-po & you hear that shannon gilbert knew rex before & then you hear shannon screaming that someone is after her trying to kill her……no way that was accidental. no coincidences here.
Shannon Gilbert calls 911 saying someone's trying to kill her, screaming and being chased. Then she's found dead with signs of strangulation. Her jeans, shoes, purse and phone were 100s of yards away. All just a coincidence, she died running hysterically through the brush. Ridiculous! I can't believe he's trying to use the "hysterical woman" garbage. Does he know what century it is?!
Those dodgy cops used her family history of mental illness against her
It is so ridiculous
The type of males suffer from aressted development 😮
It is a Century of Hysterical Women
She was hysterical though, the 911 call and witness confirmed that. That didn't cause her demise but she was
Thank you for your tenacity in covering this case. I hope you all know that you are all heroes, and because of your persistent coverage the world is a safer place. With your dedication you have reminded us that , once again we can never be too careful. Many thanks, God bless.
This was a really well put together documentary. It had me hooked.
SUFFOLK COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT..WHATAFKNJOKE!!@ a REALLY REALLY BAD ONE!!
Where is everybody?
Amazing doc! Thank you so much and congrats 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shannon knew death was coming for her. So sad. I grew up there. I have not lived there in a long time, but it'll always be my home. And it's so sad to know that these young ladies lost their lives in one of the happiest and most comfortable places I know. The beaches are amazing
It’s hard to watch the male reporter smirk and smile over such a depraved story.
I don't interpret it that way.
Yep smirky boy all excited. He looks like Bryan kolberger.
Yes, I agree. 😂
But I think he has more personality than B.K., is well spoken, & seems to know what he was doing when covering this case.
Totally disgraceful for him to be laughing and smirking the entire time. Listen as his voice has changed from when he was hired & his voice was much deeper, more manly, & now listen to his current voice. Very much of a change to how he speaks altogether. I don’t see a resemblance to Bryan Kohberger as he’s not a smirky smiley guy nor does he speak like he’s got sugar in his tank. This man’s voice has changed throughout his career.
He looks like JEFFREY EPSTEANN.??????????????
That attorney and those silly hats and canes….
He’s flamboyant for sure, but he’s dedicated and has been doing a great job…. and mostly for free for Shannon’s family.
He has proven an authentic Blessing for the women/ families, & exposing truths. But I guess.. keep judging on superficially 💭
I love it when someone ascribes motive/intent to a simple observation. Gotta love those searching for an argument in the comments section….
@@tainoaquarian8320where did OP judge the man? OP did not saying anything about him other than is eclectic attire, which is definitely eclectic.
This is the best documentary I have seen. An amazing with all the people involved working together for 14 years to cath a serial killer. GREAT WORK.
I'm paused at 14:05. If this doesn't SOON start getting more like a serious documentary about investigating an evil s.k. who took the lives of many REAL people, and less like an inspirational story for Journalism major students, I'm clicking away. Just listening to all these reporters relive the moments they BLEEPED in their boxer briefs and panties because they got "such a huge story" is making me nauseous.
The atty investigating for the Gilbert family and others has a lot of info on what is happening now in 2024, he is on tons of podcasts and has interviewed new witnesses.
John Ray.
8 mins in yeah I see what ya mean. Geez they rolling out the whole news desk to comment on "such a huge story" that 8 mins in still aint begun.
That is why I cannot stand reporters.Holier than thou.Yuk.
@@WindTurbineSyndromeyea right John ray is a good man
Excellent documentary case. Thank you.
This is really something else
lol didn’t the doctor suspect fake a heart attack next to his car during one interview hahahaah
lol, good idea.
Great video. Thanks for doing the work and explaining everything. Did you see the stuff about his daughter. She’s also very deranged!
When I saw Rex I got chills! If I had met him, before he was identified as the killer, I would have felt something sinister.
Yes, creepy. I hope I never see eyes like that in person..
Absolutely agree. The first time they flashed his photo on screen, I got the worst vibes and thought he was creepy af.
I work with someone who lives on that street. The neighbors can't believe that there was a serial killer living amongst them.
"If I *had* met him before, I *would have* felt something sinister..." Sure... 😽
@@AvaLynn.v.A. I think that’s known as ‘with the benefit of hindsight’ and an active imagination!😂
Even if Shannon died accidentally, she was chased into that place.
Prayer for all the women and their families. Nobody wants this line of work but it’s all some know.
This is mind blowing - just because one girl disappeared and her mother insisted on her search, police ACCIDENTALLY found ten bodies! And only made an arrest 12 years later? What the police was doing all those years? I am taking about from time when first victim disappeared to day he was arrested. Clear disrespect and disregard to human’s life, not just from the killer, but from police!. If they were doing their job right, from day one, maybe there wouldn’t be so many victims.
I lived mot far from Gilgo on Long Island this is scary
I went to the Salt Shack once on that beach. The Oceanside highway is so creepy at night. No lights and nothing for miles. It really was the perfect place for Rex to hide the victims. If not for Shannan's mother being so persistent they never would have found these people and Rex would still be killing.
Terrifying .
These newscasters seem giddy. Really self absorbed.
Having known a couple of reporters, I think that's just how a lot of them talk...
Exactly. What are they so proud of? They were just reporting.. not investigative journalism
Agreed. I think of the relatives and friends of the victims, and this male reporter bathing in his " career moment".
Ya totally. And they're saying "omg omg the police are so incompetent the police are so incompetent why aren't they revealing every single ounce of information to us? It's not fair!!!!" while enjoying this career moment in their news-reading lives. Suffolk PD definitely didn't handle things 100% perfect but we have one suspect in custody with very solid evidence.
HE TALKS ABOUT IT AS IF HE IS TALKING ABOUT NO BIG DEAL...A LITTLE TOO JOLLY IF YOU ASK ME, FOR SUCH A SERIOUS SUBJECT.
⭐ I think Shannon experienced the fears of the girls in the brush, as if they were calling her in. Scary!❤
He was EXACTLY how I pictured him to be ..I knew he'd be big & weird looking..when I saw the arrest pic..I had the chills..it was a weird moment..
So Shannon’s death was just a coincidence? I don’t think so. Didn’t Atty John Ray say her hyoid bone was broken? Well that means strangulation. And her driver is suss.
Yes that bone was broken,the one that breaks if you get strangled or choked. But all these people believe it was natural? After hearing the call, and finding all the other bodies right with her!? I do t understand but I feel corruption is at play here
It can also get broken from a blow to the neck and she was running through thick bush at night. She could have easily banged it on a branch. It sounds to me like she was suffering from psychosis when she was telling someone to get off etc.
No. The autopsy conducted on skeletal remains about a year and a half after she went missing stated that portions of the hyoid bone were missing (greater horns). It could have been animal activity, we are talking a skeleton out in the elements for about 18 months.
@@meganbrain8870 Her remains were found a year and a half later, her body was out in the elements, and there were several other bones missing too. Does not prove she was strangled or had toes chopped off.
We don't know whether that bone was broken, because it was missing.
So well made!
I think his wife knew, esp once the photo of the belt came out, if that’s in fact his belt. Plus, she’s never once shown any sympathy or empathy to the families of the victims. And the audacity that she was asking for money, saying she had financial difficulty. Now she’s doing some million dollar deal to do a documentary. She should give that money to the victims families.
I agree, how could she not kniw something was wrong? All those guns in the house, tons of phones hidden all over the place, hundreds of guns, the house was rotting away..
So Rex's wife didn't watch the news? I would think she would identify someone or the belt
She knew . Participated in seegs parties plenty of hookers have spoke up
But i believe he got the ones he felt tried to get over on him
Strange, iconic murders seem to occur often in Long Island -- the DeFeo murders, is yet another.
It’s because this land is cursed it’s true I’ve read it the (some tribe Indians) curse it because the white man stole his land he claimed for years and years before they showed up so he cursed it
I live on Long Island and I hope that this is the end of finding bodies on our beaches.
Another set of limbs and head were found yesterday in Long Island Park. Very strange place.!
Ocean Parkway has always been my therapy drive when I need to clear my head especially in the winter. Now I think of all these poor women who lost their lives when I go there. It’s heartbreaking. I will never forget them or their poor grieving families.
