The Long Island serial killer was discovered because of a hooker charging into a marsh with a head full of cocaine, The Daily exclusively learned.

Investigators believe the young sex worker had a drug-fueled, paranoid outburst while she was with a client last year, culminating in her drowning in a Long Island marsh, law enforcement sources told The Daily.
The search for the still-missing Shannan Gilbert from a quiet beach community 19 months ago led police to the skeletons of four women. All of them, like Gilbert, were prostitutes. They had been strangled, wrapped in burlap and dumped in underbrush in Gilgo Beach, on Long Island’s south shore.
