He was a husband, a father, and an architect...and for over a decade, he was also the Long Island Serial Killer.

In Part 2 of our deep dive into the Gilgo Beach murders, we cover Rex Heuermann's early life, his marriage, his first known victims, and the disturbing system he built to keep getting away with it.

This is one of the most significant true crime cases in recent American history, and it just took a massive turn. Rex Heuermann pled guilty in April 2026 to the murders of seven women and admitted to an eighth, bringing a 17-year reign of terror on Long Island to a close. His sentencing is set for June 17, 2026.

In this episode we break down:

Rex Heuermann's childhood and the warning signs that were missed
His marriage to his wife Asa and the family life that masked everything
His first known victims and how his methods evolved
The meticulous system he used to avoid detection for over a decade
How the timeline finally caught up to him and led to his arrest and confession

If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there!! This case makes a lot more sense once you have the full picture.

Light up some Blueberry Haze and settle in. This one is heavy, but it's a story that deserves to be told all the way through.

Stay tuned for an update after his sentencing hearing!
