Monster: Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer
A decade ago, filmmaker Josh Zeman was on the hunt for the country's most elusive serial killer, who left nearly a dozen bodies along the beaches of Long Island. While he got close to catching him, it wasn't until 2023 that authorities finally made an arrest. The troubling part is that the answers were there all along, hidden in plain sight. This investigative podcast from Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts explores why it took authorities so long to catch the killer and how many lives could have been saved.
