In 2010, Shannan Gilbert made a series of frantic 911 calls as she ran through the streets of Oak Beach, Long Island, screaming: “They’re trying to kill me”.

Then she vanished.

A few months later a body was found near where Shannan, vanished - but it wasn’t her.

And neither were the next 9 sets of human remains they found along Ocean Parkway.

Now, over a decade later, with the arrest of Rex Heuermann - the police believe they’ve found the elusive Long Island Serial Killer.

But the questions still stand; Why did it take so long to catch him - and was this the work of a lone serial killer, or multiple men using the same dumping ground?

Episode 312 - Lucy Letby: “Trust me, I’m a nurse”

On 21 August 2023, 33-year-old nurse Lucy Letby was handed a whole-of-life order for the murder of seven babies, and the attempted murder of six more. She is only the fourth woman in British history to receive the sentence.

And now this seemingly young, meek, slightly goofy, “vanilla” girl – whose bedroom was filled with stuffed animals – is now Britain’s most prolific child serial killer.

So what really happened? How was she allowed to kill so many? Why did she do it? And how was she eventually caught?
