About this episode
On July 13, 2023, authorities arrested Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, in connection with the infamous Gilgo Beach murders that haunted investigators for more than a decade.The case first gained national attention after the 2010 disappearance of Shannan Gilbert, which led police to uncover multiple sets of human remains along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach on Long Island.Among those discovered were the victims known as the “Gilgo Four” — four women in their 20s who worked as escorts and advertised on Craigslist. Their bodies were found wrapped in burlap within a mile of each other, suggesting the work of a serial killer.In this episode, we break down the timeline of the Gilgo Beach murders, the evidence that led investigators to Rex Heuermann, and how the case resurfaced after years of unanswered questions. The episode also includes archival clips from Casey’s coverage of the investigation as it was unfolding, offering a unique perspective on one of the most chilling serial killer cases in recent history.?
