Show Notes
In December 2010, the discovery of human remains along a remote stretch of Ocean Parkway in Long Island, New York, exposed one of America's most disturbing serial murder investigations.
For more than a decade, the Gilgo Beach murders remained unsolved. Families demanded answers, investigators followed countless leads, and the identity of the suspected Long Island Serial Killer remained a mystery.
Then, in July 2023, police arrested Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect and father living just miles from where the victims were discovered.
In Part One of this True Crime Now investigation, journalist Erica Voss examines the victims, the disappearances, the police investigation and the forensic evidence that finally led detectives to Heuermann.
How did a suspected serial killer remain undetected for so long?
