Though Gilbert tirelessly worked to solve her daughter's death, she never saw Shannan's killer brought to justice. “To law enforcement, she was ‘just a mom,’ but her tenacity led to the discovery of a serial killer who may still be roaming free." “ Mari Gilbert singlehandedly brought closure to families who never knew what happened to their missing sisters and daughters,” executive producer Deborah Norville, who covered Gilbert’s story as an Inside Edition reporter, told Deadline. Per The New York Times, it was Gilbert who pushed the Suffolk County Police Department to consider whether Shannan and the rest of the victims were linked, as they were mostly women and sex workers with similar builds. "I'm beginning to think there's a cover-up." "They've been stalling and avoiding," Mari says in the trailer. Centered on Shannan's outspoken mom Mari Gilbert (played by Kim Delaney), the film follows Mari as she urges the reluctant police department to take action. It's inspired by a true story of Shannan Gilbert's 2010 death, which led to the opening of the Long Island Serial Killer case, in which as many as 19 bodies were found on Gilgo Beach on Long Island. Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother's Hunt For Justice is Lifetime's latest "Ripped From the Headlines" thriller.
