This tense true-crime series examines the hunt for the Long Island serial killer through the perspective of his victims, their loved ones and the police.

Mari Gilbert searches for the truth behind what happened to her daughter Shannan, a sometime escort who disappeared after a ‘date’ on Long Island. After Shannan fails to come home, her mother Mari knows something is terribly wrong. Pleading to police to take her concerns seriously, she keeps pushing the police for answers. Mari’s insistence that her daughter not be overlooked eventually leads to a horror hidden on Long Island for more than a decade – 19 bodies of young women discovered buried in shallow graves along Ocean Parkway in the area of Jones Beach State Park.

Eleven bodies are found dumped on Long Island between 2010 and 2011; journalists Alexis Linkletter and Billy Jensen investigate corruption at the highest level of the Suffolk County Police Department and why the case has never been solved.

1880: Unidentified Serial Killer Jack the Ripper haunts London. 1970: The elusive Zodiac Killer terrorizes San Francisco. 2010: More than ten bodies are discovered in and around Gilgo Beach in Long Island revealing a serial killer at large for at least 15 years. .........It's time for his ghastly tale to be told.

The investigation puts the spotlight on a former police chief who went to great lengths to derail the investigation, in no small part because he himself was hiring prostitutes and didn't want a spotlight put on him.
