Disney’s ABC News has announced details on an upcoming “IMPACT x Nightline” special called “Gilgo Beach Murders: A Serial Killer’s Secrets?”

In this week’s “IMPACT x Nightline”, the show 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.

This episode is hosted by “Nightline” correspondent Ashan Singh and features new interviews with Alexis Linkletter, host of Investigation Discovery’s “Unraveled: Long Island Serial Killer,” and Rachel Toles, Psy.D., forensic psychologist.

Additional new interviews include the following:

• Muriel Henriquez, former co-worker of Rex Heuermann
• Nikkie Brass, an alleged date of Rex Heuermann
• Stuart Cameron, former acting commissioner of the Suffolk County Police Department
• Aaron Katersky, ABC News senior investigative reporter
• Brian Buckmire, ABC News legal contributor

“IMPACT x Nightline: Gilgo Beach Murders: A Serial Killer’s Secrets?” will stream on Thursday, 16th January 2025, on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.  Previous episodes are also available to stream on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
