Investigation into the Long Island Serial Killer

The podcast episode discusses the investigation into the Long Island Serial Killer, who was recently captured in July 2023. The remains of 10 people were discovered along Gilgo Beach, leading to the belief that there were multiple killers involved. However, investigators found a potential connection between the Long Island Serial Killer and the Mannerfeld Butcher, suggesting that the arrested suspect, Rex Huermann, could be both perpetrators. There were also possible links between the Long Island Serial Killer and other unsolved cases, but the FBI ruled out those connections. The podcast highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement due to corruption scandals, incompetence, and apathy, which delayed the resolution of the case.
