“IMPACT x Nightline: The Monster At The Beach” Coming Soon To Hulu & Disney+
Disney has announced details on a new documentary, “IMPACT x Nightline: The Monster at the Beach”, which is coming soon to Hulu and Disney+ in the United States.
“IMPACT x Nightline: The Monster at the Beach” unravels the decades-long mystery of bodies discovered along the quiet shores of Long Island, where a string of killings shattered the illusion of a peaceful coastal community. As investigators race to connect the victims — many of whom vanished without a trace — the case grows into one of the most haunting serial killer hunts in recent history. Authorities and insiders reveal how advances in technology, relentless police work, and long-overlooked clues ultimately led to Rex Heuermann, an architect whose double life hid in plain sight.
Now, after pleading guilty to the murders of eight women, those closest to the case reflect on the victims, the investigation’s turning points, and the chilling reality of a predator who evaded capture for years. As the full scope of the crimes comes into focus, one question remains: Is the story of the Gilgo Beach killings truly complete?
New interviews include the following:
- Aaron Katersky, ABC News senior investigative reporter
- Josh Zeman, filmmaker, “The Killing Season”
- Brian Buckmire, ABC News legal analyst
- Alexis Linkletter, host, Investigation Discovery’s “Unraveled: Long Island Serial Killer”
- Gloria Allred, attorney for the Gilgo Beach victims’ families
- Lily Waterman, daughter of Megan Waterman
- Meg O’Brien, supervisory document analyst for the U.S. Secret Service
Now in its fourth season, ABC News Studios’ award-winning streaming newsmagazine “IMPACT x Nightline” investigates the topics dominating American culture, stories in the zeitgeist, and conversations around the globe. Eman Varoqua is the executive producer.
