About this episode

Part 1 of 2. The case of the Long Island Serial Killer has been a chilling unsolved mystery that came to light in 2010 when the disappearance of Shannon Gilbert led to the discovery of multiple bodies near Gilgo Beach, New York. The perpetrator, still unidentified, left a trail of terror and exposed the dangers faced by vulnerable communities such as sex workers. Over the years, various suspects were considered, but the killer remained at large. In a surprising turn of events, the case took a new direction on July 13, 2023, with the arrest of Rex Heuermann, a successful Manhattan Architect. The evidence connecting Heuermann to the Long Island murders has raised the hopes of the families that Justice is close. As we delve into the harrowing details of this case, we’re left wondering if Rex Heuermann holds the key to unmasking the evil that has haunted Long Island for years.
