Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets


Gilgo Beach Killer House of Secrets is the best of the Gilgo documentaries that I’ve seen.  An up to date presentation the series cuts through the BS and presents the story is a concise way. It also scores points by taking a look at the perspective from the Huberman family as they try and figure out what the hell their patriarch was doing. It’s the only doc that I’ve run across that actually shows all the damage that Huberman did.

This was originally run on Paramount + but I stumbled on it on Oxygen on Labor Day. I thought it was going to be an old rehash of the case and instead found it was full of details going back to a couple of weeks before it was produced. While the film doesn’t go into as much detail about some aspects of the case, the film instead focuses on the bullet points of the case telling us everything we need to know to get a handle on what we know happened up till now.  Surprisingly the series has the participation of the Huberman family.  They are here trying to sort out what happened in their home by the man they loved. It’s an intriguing choice. What I find interesting is that they are still wrestling with trying to sort out what really happened themselves. You can see them believing it and not. I’m further shocked in that the film has the daughter of the BTK Killer appear to try and help the family to come to terms with what happened. It is not some TV trick since she had reached out not long after the arrest.

I really liked this and if you want a good look at the case, this is the place to go.
