Directed by Liz Garbus, a leading light in crime documentaries, Missing: The Long Island Killer revisits one of America's most disturbing serial killer cases.
For years, young sex workers have mysteriously disappeared in New York and Long Island, plunging their families into a desperate search for the truth. In 2010, the discovery of the first body on Gilgo Beach led to the uncovering of a sprawling crime scene, revealing a series of murders whose perpetrator had long eluded the authorities. The investigation drags on for 13 years, partly due to a climate of corruption within the police force, until a major breakthrough in July 2023.
Through archive footage and eyewitness accounts, this documentary explores the flaws in the investigation, the impact on the victims' families and the justice issues surrounding this landmark case.
Missing: The Long Island Killer will air on Netflix from March 31, 2025.
Synopsis: For years, young sex workers have been disappearing from New York and Long Island, leaving their families desperate for answers. In 2010, the remains of a woman were found in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island, leading to further macabre discoveries in a "dumping ground" located just a stone's throw from New York's busiest beaches. Despite all this, the mystery of the "Long Island Serial Killer" remains unresolved for 13 years - until July 2023, when a major breakthrough occurs, thanks to an effort to root out corruption within the division in charge of the case. Two-time Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus (*Lost Girls*) delivers a gripping look at the twists and turns of a case that made headlines and continues to make news.
With its immersive approach and chilling realism, Missing: The Long Island Killer should captivate fans of unsolved criminal cases. Those who enjoyed Don't F**k With Cats: Un tueur trop viral or The Keepers will find here a meticulous investigation, highlighting police negligence, the families' struggle for justice and the hunt for the killer who has kept America on the edge of its seat.
Liz Garbus, already known for her work on Lost Girls and numerous crime documentaries, brings here a rigorous journalistic and deeply human eye to this landmark case.
With Missing: The Long Island Killer, Netflix continues to explore true crime through a chilling, revelatory investigation. Tracing one of America's greatest criminal mysteries, this documentary promises a hard-hitting and captivating analysis of the case.
