Guilty: Our Inside Account of the Gilgo Beach Killer’s Confession
About this episode
After decades of silence, the man accused of the Gilgo Beach murders has finally spoken — and what he said inside that courtroom stunned everyone.
Rex Heuermann has pleaded guilty to killing eight women, bringing a chilling chapter in one of America’s most notorious serial killer cases closer to an end.
In this episode of The Trial: USA, we take you inside the courtroom on the day many thought would never come.
From the moment Heuermann entered the room… to the haunting detail he repeated again and again as he described how his victims died… to the raw, emotional reactions from families who have waited decades for answers.
Daily Mail Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp was there, sitting just feet away, and joins us to break down exactly what happened - and what it means now.
