The Gilgo Beach Killer, also known as the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) has been at large for over 2 decades.
More on the LISK:
The Long Island serial killer (also referred to as LISK, the Gilgo Beach Killer, the Manorville Butcher, and the Craigslist Ripper) is an unidentified suspected serial killer who is believed to have murdered between 10 and 18 people over a period of nearly 26 years, and to have disposed of their bodies in areas on the South Shore of Long Island, New York. Most of the known victims were sex workers who advertised on Craigslist.
The victims’ remains were found over a period of months in 2010 and 2011, after the disappearance of Shannan Gilbert resulted in a police search of the area along the Ocean Parkway, near the remote beach towns of Gilgo and Oak Beach in Suffolk County. The remains of four victims designated “The Gilgo Four” were found within a quarter of a mile of each other near Gilgo Beach in December 2010. Six more sets of remains were found in March and April 2011 in Suffolk and Nassau counties.[1][2][3] Police believe the latter sets of remains predate the four bodies found in December 2010.[4]
Gilbert’s remains were found a year after the remains of “The Gilgo Four” were discovered. Her cause of death remains contested, with police claiming accidental drowning while an independent autopsy determined possible strangulation.

Finally, we may have some answers…
Per the NY Post: “A suspect has been arrested over the notorious Gilgo Beach murders of up to 10 women on Long Island, according to a report Friday.
Multiple sources confirmed the arrest to News 12 Long Island, which said that First Avenue in Massapequa Park was “just flooded with police.”State and Suffolk County police — both at the scene — did not confirm the arrest, the outlet said.
News 12 did not identify the suspect or detail what led to the reported breakthrough in what it called “one of the most intense, prolific searches for a serial killer ever.”

“The case endured through five police commissioners, more than 1,000 tips, countless theories and supposed conspiracies. Then a fresh review last year tied an old clue, about a pickup truck linked to a victim’s disappearance, to a new name: Rex A. Heuermann.” https://apnews.com/article/gilgo-beach-serial-killings-long-island-e6da222969e585f3c8b0ffbac0453fbc
I remember following this case closely when it broke a dozen years ago. Crazy scary.
