Show Notes

In December 2010, four women were found wrapped in burlap along Ocean Parkway, Long Island — the Gilgo Four. The man eventually charged with their murders lived two miles from where their bodies were placed, drove past that stretch of highway regularly on his commute, and remained undetected for over a decade. This episode of The Murder Tape Khronicles covers the full arc of the Rex Heuermann investigation: the discovery of the bodies during the search for Shannan Gilbert, the forensic profiles that built year by year without producing a name, the genealogical DNA analysis that opened the door, and the cell tower data that became the tape at the center of the case. The Murder Tape Khronicles is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
