The unsettling case of the Gilgo Four unfolded after the mysterious disappearance of Shannan Gilbert in May 2010. After her frantic 911 call seeking help, she vanished, prompting extensive searches. In December 2010, police discovered her remains along with those of four other young women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello—who similarly led lives as escorts. Their remains were mostly found wrapped in burlap, deepening the mystery surrounding their deaths and linking them to Shannan's unresolved fate.
"In December 2010, a police officer and his K-9 found human remains, marking the beginning of the grim discovery of the Gilgo Four, all young women with tragic fates."
"The four identified women, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, shared a tragic connection—being young escorts who vanished without a trace."
