Honestly, it always seemed strange that there was a serial killer on Long Island for TEN (!) years and media barely covered it.

Glad this worthless motherclucker was caught, but somehow I feel he could have been found sooner if there was more attention given to these murders. 😔 https://gothamist.com/news/the-author-of-lost-girls-on-the-overdue-compassion-for-slain-long-island-sex-workers

The author of 'Lost Girls' on the overdue compassion for slain Long Island sex workers

A lot has changed in the case – and the culture at large – since 2011, says Robert Kolker, whose book “Lost Girls,” about the Gilgo murders was adapted into a Netflix film.

10 to 18 human beings were killed and there was barely any coverage in the local media; at least from what I noticed.

Thankfully he has been caught, but still… I feel these murders were ignored. 😔

@JackSzwergold It sounds like police corruption played a huge role in the mishandling of the case.
