Lost Girls : An Unsolved American Mystery
Kolker, Robert
The bestselling account of the lives of five young women whose fates converged in the perplexing case of the Long Island Serial Killer. Now updated, with a new afterword by the author. "Rich, tragic...monumental...true-crime reporting at its best."-Washington Post
One late spring evening in 2010,
Shannan Gilbert-after running through the oceanfront community of Oak
Beach screaming for her life-went missing. No one who had heard
of her disappearance thought much about what had happened to the
twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist escort who had been fleeing a
scene-of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County police, too,
seemed to have paid little attention-until seven months later, when an
unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up
four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them
Shannan’s.
There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn
Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last
seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a
hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannon’s
disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a
house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan,
all four women were petite, in their twenties, and had come from out of
town to work as escorts, and they all had advertised on Craigslist and
its competitor, Backpage.
Lost Girls is a portrait of unsolved
murders in an idyllic part of America, of the underside of the Internet,
and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep
them. Long considered "one of the best true-crime books of all time"
(Time), this edition is now updated, with an afterword about
developments in the case, including the shocking fate of Mari Gilbert,
Shannan’s mother, for whom this case became the crusade of a lifetime.
