Summary

Shannan Gilbert was an aspiring actress, singer, and writer. After overcoming her tumultuous childhood, Shannan moved to New York City for her big break. In order to make ends meet while she began her career in entertainment, Shannan turned to sex work. On May 1st of 2010, 23-year-old Shannan Maria Gilbert went missing after visiting a sex work client in a gated community called Oak Beach which is located on Long Island. The ensuing investigation for Shannan would reveal ten sets of human remains and expose the Long Island Serial Killer. Although Shannan’s case is technically resolved, the Long Island Serial Killer has yet to be caught. In this episode, Jac and Alexis delve into the dynamic life of Shannan Gilbert, the mysteries surrounding the night she vanished, and the suspicions many have over Shannan’s supposed death by “misadventure.” 🎟 Catch up to FOUR bonus episodes per month plus full video episodes over on Patreon: patreon.com/thefirstdegree ❤️ The Heavy Metal Project: theheavymetalproject.com 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/thefirstdegree 🕺 TikTok: tiktok.com/@thefirstdegreee 👤 Facebook: facebook.com/thefirstdegree ⚖️ On the Stand: (818) 446-6889 💩 Worst Thing You’ve Ever Done: (818) 446-6889 🤝 Advice: hello@thefirstdegreepodcast.com 🎟 Catch up to FOUR bonus episodes per month plus full video episodes over on Patreon: patreon.com/thefirstdegree 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/thefirstdegree 🕺 TikTok: tiktok.com/@thefirstdegreee 👤 Facebook: facebook.com/thefirstdegree   Learn more about your ad choices.
