Hey everybody welcome back to cold case murder mysteries.

I'm your host Ryan Kraus returning to talk about the series of crimes most often

attributed to a single entity called the Long Island serial killer.

In the recent episode on Shannon Gilbert, who was possibly a whisked victim, we talked about

how her mysterious flight from an unknown predator, whether physical or psychological, resulted

in an equally baffling death that has interested parties divided

as to whether it was a tragic accident or murder. Shannon took off running from the home of Joseph Brewer, evading her driver Michael Pack in the process as well.

While she claimed, quote unquote, they were after her and trying to kill her, what seemed to be a thorough investigative

process by law enforcement led to a conclusion that neither Brewer or Pack had attempted to harm Shannon in any way.

The recent release of the 911 calls related to the incident seemed to tell the same story.

Shannon was enduring some type of psychological breakdown, perhaps even psychosis, and

likely due to a cocktail of substance as she might have consumed during the night.

Brewer and Shannon left the home together in his jeep

for what is described as 10 to 15 minutes

and promptly returned without anything tangible

in their hands, such as a bag from a store, according to

driver Michael Pack, who was still outside waiting to give Shannon a ride home later.

Of course, he left when she took off running and did so because he was

knowingly transporting a sex worker, which is illegal, and something he had tried to minimize in terms of liability by having Shannon meet him in Manhattan instead of her home in Jersey City, allowing him to avoid the much more serious implication of taking her across state lines.

And of course, as a driver, if the person you're supposed to drive home runs away from you into darkness while knocking

on doors and yelling about how you're going to kill her.

Leaving seems reasonable.
