Summary

On May 1st of 2010, 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert gets into a black SUV with her hired driver and de facto security guard, Michael Pak. Shannan and Michael travel from New York City’s Manhattan to a wealthy gated community on Long Island known as Oak Beach. Shannan, a sex worker, enters the home of her client, Joseph Brewer. Three hours later, Shannan runs screaming from Brewer’s home. She calls 911 and, although she is sometimes incoherent, clearly conveys that someone is trying to kill her. By the time the Suffolk County police arrive on the scene an hour and a half later, Shannan has vanished into thin air. In episode 249, Jac and Alexis demystify how the search for Shannan became the unexpected catalyst that revealed the existence of the Long Island Serial Killer, nine murdered sex workers and a child, and the corruption within the Suffolk County Police Department. 🎟 Don't want to wait?
