This is a three part Netflix documentary about the Gilgo Beach murders on Long Island. The series looks at the publicly available information up to the present time.
This is a very good, if occasionally uneven, look at the search for the killer of multiple women found on the South Shore of Long Island in the area near Gilgo Beach. Part one focuses on the finding of the bodies and the victims. Part two focuses on the broken attempt by the Suffolk County Police to “find” the person or persons responsible. The final part is focused on the discovery and the arrest of the killer.
I liked this series, but at the same time there is a feeling that there is more coming. The feeling is the result of the series being only able to focus on what is in the public area. We know about the victims and we know about the corruption in the Suffolk County police and DA office regarding one officer and the then DA, and we know a little bit about the accused killer. However there is a large amount of details we don’t have. We don’t have details as to everything that Rex Heuermann did, how many women he ultimately killed, and all of the things the police did to catch him once the bad apples were tossed out and justice was finally being served. While there is a lot to chew on, there is a lot more we are going to get after the trials reveals all.
Quibble aside this series is worth a look.
