INVESTIGATING THE REASONS BEHIND WHY THE CASE REMAINS UNSOLVED, "UNRAVELED: LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER" PODCAST GOES LIVE TODAY

-- Companion Special UNRAVELED: THE REAL STORY OF THE LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER Streaming on discovery+ Beginning March 9 --

(Silver Spring, Md.) - It's been over a decade since 11 bodies were found on the coast of Long Island. While many have attempted to solve the murders, no one has looked into just why the case remains unsolved... until now. Against a backdrop of police corruption, sexual misconduct and cover ups at the highest levels of the Suffolk County Police Department, co-hosts Alexis Linkletter (The First Degree) and Billy Jensen (The Murder Squad) investigate the investigation itself to expose the untold story of the Long Island Serial Killer. In a search for answers to one of the biggest unsolved murder mysteries in American history, the seven-part true crime podcast series UNRAVELED: LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER releases today, and will release weekly on Wednesdays on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

On May 1, 2010, a young sex worker named Shannon Gilbert went missing. In searching for her, Suffolk County uncovered 10 additional bodies, beginning an exhaustive and coordinated investigation assisted by the FBI. After Gilbert's body was finally recovered on December 13, 2011, most stories of the Long Island Serial Killer end. This is where UNRAVELED begins.

For Long Island natives Linkletter and Jensen, this is a personal journey. In UNRAVELED, the two shed a light on the tight-knit community that may be hiding the clues to the mystery, reveal witnesses that have been silenced, and expose the tangled web of corruption, sexual deviation, and the potential cover up of the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK). Just two days after the discovery of Gilbert's body, James Burke was named chief of police. Burke immediately blew up the investigation, dismantling the team that had handled the case from the beginning, and mysteriously blocked the FBI from assisting in the case any further. After Burke was arrested on civil rights violation charges in 2016, new doubts were cast on the integrity of the LISK investigation, and the corruption within the police force was blown wide open. Now, with exclusive interviews from those who worked on the investigation, both then and now, as well as an explosive interview with Christopher Loeb, the man who helped put Burke behind bars, UNRAVELED explores how corruption within the Suffolk County PD could have severe implications on the investigation. And, perhaps most ominously, how Burke, the then chief of police, is shrouded in accusations of being tied to the deaths.

The Long Island Serial Killer is the first case in the UNRAVELED anthology podcast and series, with future seasons dedicated to covering different captivating true crime stories. Additionally, a companion two-hour special, UNRAVELED: THE REAL STORY OF THE LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER, will begin streaming on discovery+ on Tuesday, March 9.
