A modern Jack the Ripper haunted Long Island for decades, targeting sex workers while authorities failed to act. Discover how Rex Heuermann evaded capture for so long despite leaving victims along Ocean Parkway. From corruption within Suffolk County PD to public apathy toward the victims, this chilling case exposes how prejudice and incompetence allowed a killer to continue his reign of terror until a DNA breakthrough finally brought him to justice. We examine how the search for Shannan Gilbert uncovered multiple victims, the stigmatization of sex workers that hampered the investigation, and the shocking corruption involving figures like Tom Spota and Jim Burke that potentially enabled Heuermanns continued crimes. Learn how this seemingly ordinary architect managed to hide his dark double life for years.
