Summary

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong speaks with legal analyst Josh Ritter to discuss the headline-dominating case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island Serial Killer. Authorities believe Heuermann is responsible for a string of murders that first came to light in 2010, after four bodies were found along Gilgo Beach in New York. After more than a decade of extensive investigation, Heuermann was finally arrested – and has since been implicated in at least two more murders. Candice and Josh explore the investigative process that linked Heuermann to the crimes, the evidence gathered against him so far, and what we can expect to see from both sides of the courtroom when the case goes to trial.
