Lost Girls is what happens when we humanize sex workers and make serial killers secondary:
. Gilbert was working as an escort at the time, and had fled her client's home in Oak Beach, Long Island telling police that someone was"after her." Police and public officials were initially unconcerned by Gilbert's disappearance – as a sex worker they considered her a"high risk" victim, and therefore not worthy of excessive resources.
What got me hooked on this subject in the beginning was the very precarious situation that all the family members were in. These were people who were not sex workers themselves, but had close relationships with all of the victims. And when those people disappeared, you know, nobody seemed to care. They never signed up for this, but they had to become advocates and champions of their lost loved ones because for years, nobody listened.
So that was a gray area that I really wanted to write about – that they didn’t ask for this. I also wanted to write about the girls' lives and talk about what motivated them to make decisions that not everybody would make. And I'm really, really pleased that the filmmakers picked up on that and really followed through on that quite nicely. There is something of an expectation with “true crime” – a trial, an undiscovered piece of evidence – something that follows a typical formula.
Well, if you look at the Amazon reviews or the Goodreads reviews, the one that is “most liked” is somebody who says, “there's nothing about the case in this book.” But I think we're in a period now that's just more hospitable to unconventional takes on crime stories. Just in the last year, there’s a Ted Bundy movie about his victims, and a Charles Manson movie about the women in Charles Manson's “family.
