Extended Logline: This week, “IMPACT x Nightline” delves into the chilling case of Rex Heuermann, a Long Island man charged with murdering seven women, many of them sex workers, and scattering their remains along a half-mile stretch of coastline on Gilgo Beach in Long Island, New York, and in the woods further east. The episode investigates Heuermann’s alleged crimes through new interviews with true crime experts, law enforcement and those who have encountered the suspect himself, including a woman who says she went on a date with Heuermann before his arrest. The episode takes viewers through key evidence, including an alleged “planning document” and the shocking discovery of DNA evidence from a discarded pizza crust, which lead investigators to believe Heuermann committed the murders in his family home. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty. Tune into “IMPACT x Nightline” to learn more.
