When news that the bodies of four female sex workers had been found on Long Island’s Gilgo Beach, it captured the attention of not only the nation but the world. Director Liz Garbus examines this gripping true crime case in “Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer” (now streaming on Netflix) and shines a light not only on the families struggling to serve justice for their lost loved ones, but also the rampant corruption within the Suffolk County Police Department and DA’s office. Liz talks to me about what brought her back to this story after writing and directing a “based-on-true-events” feature film about the crime, how the press was instrumental in keeping the case alive, what it was like looking into the twisted mind of indicted suspect Rex Heuermann, and where things go with the case from here.
