Gilgo Beach Murders: New Doc Exposes Chilling Details

Prime Video has released a four-part true crime documentary, Killing Grounds, focusing on the Gilgo Beach murders. Between 1993 and 2010, 11 bodies were discovered near Gilgo Beach, New York, a case that remained unsolved for years. The series examines the investigation into the deaths of 11 women, with recent developments bringing the case closer to resolution. Suspect Rex Heuermann was charged with the murders of several victims, including the "Gilgo Four," and has since confessed to seven murders and the death of another individual. The case initially gained national attention in 2010 when police, searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert, found four bodies. Six more sets of remains were discovered in the following months. Many of the victims were identified as sex workers. The documentary explores the chilling details of the case, with one therapist recounting how Heuermann asked about a serial killer's mindset, including the desire to 'play God.'
