Netflix to Stream 'Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer' March 31

Netflix is set to release the documentary series 'Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer' on March 31, 2025, which examines the prolonged investigation into the murders of young women in the sex industry in Long Island. Directed by Liz Garbus, the three-part series delves into the corruption within the police investigation and the stigma surrounding the victims, many of whom were not taken seriously by law enforcement. The series features interviews with family members, law enforcement, and others connected to the case, and aims to humanize the victims, highlighting their lives beyond their professions. It also chronicles the case's evolution, culminating in the July 2023 arrest of Rex Heuermann, who is charged with multiple murders associated with the Gilgo Beach killings. Garbus previously directed the dramatization 'Lost Girls,' which focused on a mother’s search for her missing daughter and has returned to the case as new evidence has emerged. This documentary promises to shed light on the families' long struggle for justice and the failures of the system that allowed these crimes to persist for years.
