Will Rex Heuermann Admit to Being Long Island Serial Killer? | Profiling Evil

About this episode

The episode discusses the potential guilty plea of Rex Heuermann in the Long Island Serial Killer case and its implications.

The Long Island Serial Killer case may be heading for one of its biggest turning points yet. Multiple outlets are now reporting that Rex Heuermann, the New York architect charged in seven murders tied to the Gilgo Beach investigation, is expected to plead guilty in April of 2026. That plea has not yet been entered in court, and a judge would still have to accept it, but family members have reportedly been notified, and the guilty plea would make his September trial unnecessary. In this episode, we’ll sit down with veteran filmmaker Josh Zeman, the award-winning creator of The Killing Season, to talk about what this means. We’ll revisit the case, something we explored years earlier and examine the evidence prosecutors say tied Heuermann to the murders. Will this plea end in truth or just be an easy way out for Heuermann, sparing his family (and frankly the victim’s families) of hearing the truth about this serial killer case? #RexHeuermann #LongIslandSerialKiller #LISK #GilgoBeach #OceanParkway #MassapequaPark #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #JoshZeman #TheKillingSeason #MonsterPodcast #CriminalBehavior #BehavioralAnalysis #Forensics #DNA #ColdCase #MurderInvestigation…
