New Long Island Serial Killer Podcast Has 'Explosive' Loeb Info

LONG ISLAND, NY —Billy Jensen and Alexis Linkletter are both Long Island natives with careers focused on true crime and investigative journalism. They teamed up to host a new podcast series called Unraveled: Long Island Serial Killer that explores not only the Gilgo Beach murders, but the subsequent investigation and scandals plaguing the Suffolk County Police Department in the decade following the discovery of the 11 bodies on Ocean Parkway. Their podcast centers around what they claim is exclusive new information from Christopher Loeb, whose testimony put former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke in prison.

The six-part podcast launched Wednesday on Apple and Spotify.

"While many have attempted to solve the murders, no one has looked into just why the case remains unsolved—until now. Against a backdrop of police corruption, sexual misconduct and cover ups at the highest levels of the Suffolk County Police Department, co-hosts Alexis Linkletter and Billy Jensen investigate the investigation itself to expose the untold story of the Long Island Serial Killer," a news release from Discovery Plus stated.

Discovery will air a two-hour companion special on their discovery+. streaming service on March 9.

Linkletter was childhood friends with Christopher Loeb, who famously led to former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke being convicted and imprisoned for improper conduct after Loeb's arrest. Loeb and Linkletter began talking in 2013, which ultimately led to this project.

"Just two days after the discovery of Gilbert’s body, James Burke was named chief of police. Burke immediately blew up the investigation, dismantling the team that had handled the case from the beginning, and mysteriously blocked the FBI from assisting in the case any further. After Burke was arrested on civil rights violation charges in 2016, new doubts were cast on the integrity of the LISK investigation, and the corruption within the police force was blown wide open."

Linkletter and Jensen claim they have new information from an "explosive interview" with Loeb that raises new questions about the serial killer investigation.

Linketter and Jensen both produce true crime documentaries and investigative reporting and both grew up on Long Island.
