Long Island Serial Killer case

Yep, I assume you watched the Netflix doc the other day about it.

Yea, the Idaho trial will be live streamed on the court YT channel. Will be epic.

I haven't seen the Netflix doc. Is it any good or interesting? I recently cancelled my Netflix but may rejoin again if enough content interests me.

is the doc worth watching ?

It's 3 episodes, first goes way back to where it started, if you had already seen other docs about it, that episode is kind of boring. But if you are new to the case, then it's good.

At minimum would have this to watch, plus Black Mirror Next week and the final season of "You" on April 24th, which is good and it's about a serial killer.

Saw it and I was surprised that the first girl lead went kinda nowhere or couldn’t tie. Was weird the last two people Alimve seemed to be clear? I heard on Reddit she may have had mental problems along her sister

It’s crazy how ancestry sites have been great for catching killers it’s not the first it happened and with some bad it’s nice to see it’s good.

Seems that have a strong case against them was weird they got hair sample at the crime scene of is family too tho. It’s sad he’s been doing it for years and who knows how long

I think the doc is worth watching if you haven't followed. Maybe even if you have. But WTF for this case taking a decade when you have a fairly big person in a fairly rare vehicle... and a person that multiple people can identify.

Ya it is wild that the evidence of the physical description, vehicle ID, and the matching pings of RH cell phone to certain locations was made over 10 years ago. I'm not sure why it took so long to make that arrest. I can only hope there were no more victims after that period. But with this guy being such a monster, its hard to know.

especially when they had someone from the circle fo the FBI in the absolute lead role for multiple years

maybe its harder irl to connect the dots but seems that witenss was key

For those looking for the doc that everyone is referring to, it is called gone girls. Another interesting one if you like these shows it the Netflix doc on Gabby Petito. I watch a lot of these true crime shows.

I think there were a few things that slowed/stalled the Long Islande case.

Sad but true, when hookers go missing (prior to the bodies being discovered in this case they were missing person cases) they usually aren't a priority and the missing girls were all reported from different areas so not an immediate connection. People in that industry travel all over and it doesn't always indicate foul play.

There is mountains of evidence and interviews to go through and at the start the evidence was all on paper and not digital, hindsight is 20/20, and of course the show is going to highlight the interview from the witness early on that years later was a description and encounter with the eventual perpetrator.

The Chief for several years during this investigation was accused/known to patronize prostitutes, I believe that he did not prioritize this case as it should have been, not because he was involved, however when investigating crimes involving prostitutes, other prostitutes will be interviewed and a huge possibility that his already semi known involvement with them would have gained even more attention.

At some point the Chief and the DA are investigated, charged and go to jail for various corruption and other charges.

Procedural fiction crime shows like Law and Order etc... lead the public to think that getting DNA results, scientific results from crime labs, cell phone records etc... are super fast and easy processes, they are not.

At the end you see that they tailed the suspect for 8 months before finally making an arrest, even though it seemed like it was obvious open and shut case to the viewer. Law enforcement and District attorneys want to make sure they have an airtight case.

Not defending at all how poorly this case was handled or that it should have taken as long as it did to solve, just that there were a lot of moving parts here, tons and tons of evidence to go through and that investigations move much slower in real life than portrayed on TV, and unfortunately there is some truth to the attention and priority cases get based on who the victims are.
