Long Island Serial Killer The Long Island Serial Killer is currently unidentified. Also known as The Gilgo Killer, The Gilgo Beach Killer, The Seashore Serial Killer and The Craigslist Ripper. Believed to have murdered 10 to 16 people associated with the sex trade, all victims were strangled and most bodies wrapped in burlap sacks after being dismembered. It has been suggested that the serial killer is most likely a white male in his mid-20s to mid-40s who is very familiar with the South Shore of Long Island and who has access to burlap sacks which he uses to contain the bodies. A&E The Killing Season (2016) follows this case. Joel Rifkin and John Bittrolff are possible suspects in the Long Island serial killer case.
