22. WTAF?! Part 3 - Bodies, Bodies, Bodies

Special guest alert - it's Parker! You've heard her research out of our mouths, now hear it out of hers as she takes us through the discovery of the multiple bodies and victims of the Long Island Serial Killer. After the late, determined and powerful Mari Gilbert demanded police search for her daughter Shannan - Suffolk County police deployed one officer and his dog to comb the area along Ocean Parkway for any signs of her daughter. Little did they know that this effort would ultimately lead them to finding over 9 sets of remains belonging to victims whose lives were cut way too short. The case remains unsolved, with ongoing investigations and a suspect in custody. This case is active, and in part 4 we'll discuss the most up to date facts of the case to include what led police to their main suspect.

**Special thanks to Parker for her outstanding research on all parts of this case!**
