The Long Island Serial Killer Movie on Lifetime Channel brings another new original to the 2021 Ripped From the Headlines lineup that highlights a mother’s hunt for justice. Although the police force works hard to solve all the cases, some slip through and remain unsolved. But our personal biases or lack of determination at the time can not only keep the criminal free, but give them a license to commit another murder.
What is the Long Island Serial Killer Lifetime Movie About?
The Long Island Serial Killer movie follows Mari Gilbert in her search for the truth behind what happened to her daughter Shannan.
A sometime escort, Shannan disappeared after a ‘date’ on Long Island. After Shannan failed to come home, her mother Mari knew something was terribly wrong.
Pleading to police to take her concerns seriously, she kept pushing the police for answers. Mari’s insistence that her daughter not be overlooked eventually lead to a horror hidden on Long Island for more than a decade – 19 bodies of young women are discovered buried in shallow graves along Ocean Parkway in the area of Jones Beach State Park.
Though the search for the killer is still ongoing, Mari’s passionate dedication to giving her daughter and other forgotten women a voice, and the attention they deserve, has kept the case alive with hopes of a breakthrough soon.
The movie not only follows a mother’s tireless search for the truth, but it also digs deep into the murders, including Shannan’s, that have gone unsolved for so long.
