If Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer: Season 1 is #1 on the Netflix Top 10 Shows in the United States on the chart published on Apr 8, 2025, then the betting market at Kalshi resolves to Yes with the outcome verified from Netflix.
Kalshi's gamblers believe Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer: Season 1 will be the No. 1 series on Netflix this week.
Just over $854,000 had been wagered on this market thus far.
The new series recounts the Long Island Gilgo Beach murders and the 2023 arrest of New York architect Rex Heuermann, who has pleaded not guilty to seven counts of murder. For years, these murders went unsolved.
The three-episode true crime series features interviews with Heuermann's friends and family and details how law enforcement arrested the 61-year-old architect.
It's not exactly easy creating a documentary where the case is still playing out. Since the director submitted her doc, Heuermann was charged with another murder.
"Will there be more between now and the time that we air? It’s possible. Will there be more between now and the time that we go to trial, if they go to trial? It’s probable," Director Liz Garbus said.
In July 2023, Heuermann was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the deaths of Megan Waterman, 22; Melissa Barthelemy, 24; and Amber Costello, 27.
Last year, he was also charged in the four additional murders of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25; Jessica Taylor, 20; Sandra Costilla, 28; and Valerie Mack, 24.
Nuclear DNA, or whole genome sequencing, evidence is being used in the case with Heuermann's attorneys arguing the technique is not widely accepted by the scientific community. It also has yet to be used in New York court of law.
Prosecutors say the technique is used in a wide variety of scientific and forensic settings.
"The advancement of forensic science and nuclear DNA analysis involving Whole Genome Sequencing has allowed law enforcement to now link genetic profiles consistent with the defendant, and/or individuals who have resided with him, to six of the seven victims through hairs found at the crime scene and/or on the victims," Assistant District Attorney Andrew Lee said, according to ABC News.
78% of Kalshi's gamblers believe If Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer: Season 1 will beat out the medical drama Pulse Season 1.
