In 2010, a frantic 911 call sends police into the darkness of Oak Beach, where Shannan Gilbert vanishes without a trace. As the search unfolds, investigators uncover a string of hidden bodies along Long Island’s shoreline.
Ep 1:
The Desperate Call
As Shannan Gilbert makes a frantic 911 call and runs through Oak Beach begging for help, she disappears into the marsh behind the neighborhood.
Ep 2:
Bodies in the Marshes
Four burlap-wrapped bodies are found along Ocean Parkway. Police insist Shannan's death was an accident, distancing her from the murders. As more remains surface, the case grows bigger, messier, and impossible to contain.
Ep 3:
Fractured Investigation
In 2011, police call Shannan Gilbert’s death undetermined and separate from the other murders. Mari sues Peter Hackett, insisting he knows more than he admits. As theories clash and evidence stays unclear, the investigation turns political.
Ep 4:
The Fire Island Phantom
Rex Heuermann was arrested in 2023 in connection with the Gilgo Beach murders after a multi-agency task force reopened the case in 2022 using cell phone data, vehicle records, and DNA evidence.

Level 5 · 4 mo agoImagine evading the cops for 13 years just to get taken down by a pizza crust. 💀 Dr. Hackett still gives me the creeps and Oak Beach seems like a piece of shit place to live 🤷♀️

Level 5 · 4 mo agoYou dismiss the accidental drowning theory without any proof. People in severe panic states absolutely do strip their clothes and drown in marshes. You have zero actual evidence she was murdered.
