About this episode

The episode discusses the behavioral analysis of Rex Heuermann and the investigation into the Gilgo Beach murders.

Rex Heuermann has pleaded guilty — and now the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit may get the chance to study the mind of the Gilgo Beach killer up close. In this episode of Police Off the Cuff, retired NYPD Sgt. Bill Cannon is joined by retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente to break down what the BAU will look for next: offender traits, organized behavior, modus operandi, psycho-sexual motivations, and whether Heuermann could be pushed to admit to other murders. This is a true-crime behavioral analysis of Rex Heuermann, the Gilgo Beach murders, and the next major phase of the investigation.
