Episode Details

Rex Heuermann, the architect accused of being the Gilgo Beach serial killer, faces sentencing today after admitting to eight murders — a grim case that began with missing women and skeletal remains found along Ocean Parkway. The investigation stalled for years until renewed efforts in 2022 connected him to a suspicious truck and DNA from a pizza crust. Now 62, he pleaded guilty to seven killings and confessed to an eighth, targeting sex workers between 2000 and 2010. Victims’ remains were scattered across Long Island, some found years later. Prosecutors uncovered chilling evidence on his computer — a “blueprint” for killings, including checklists to silence witnesses and erase clues. In exchange for a life sentence without parole, Heuermann agrees to assist the FBI in hunting other serial killers. His family will not attend the sentencing, honoring the victims’ families.
