Rex: The Gilgo Beach Architect | The Rex Heuermann Investigation
Rex Heuermann murdered eight women on Long Island between 1993 and 2010 while working as a Manhattan architect for companies like American Airlines, Target, and Nike. The investigation that should have caught him was obstructed by the very officials running it, with three Suffolk County law enforcement officials eventually going to federal prison for corruption that kept the FBI locked out of the case for years.
This series reconstructs the entire Gilgo Beach case from court filings, cell tower records, DNA evidence, witness testimony, and the public record. Every claim is sourced and cited on NBN.fm.
A 25-episode investigative series from the Neural Broadcast Network.
