Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, Netflix
This new true-crime doc follows in the steps of a serial killer in New York City.

In 2010, female remains were found in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island, leading to a string of additional discoveries at a virtual dumping ground steps away from 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 responsible for the case.
