Young women who worked in the sex industry were disappearing from New York City and Long Island, and their families were desperate for answers. Then, in 2010, female remains were found in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island, leading to a string of additional discoveries at what amounted to a dumping ground just steps away from one of New York’s busiest beaches. Despite all of this, the case of the “Long Island serial killer” remained unsolved for 13 years — until July 2023, when a major break came after corruption was rooted out within the police force responsible for the case. A suspect was arrested. From two-time Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus (Lost Girls) comes the definitive look at the twists and turns in a case that dominated headlines, and is still developing in real time.

Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer premieres March 31 on Netflix.
