Rex Heuermann has confessed.

In this episode of Here’s Our Alibi, we discuss a major update in the Gilgo Beach serial killer case following Heuermann’s April 2026 guilty plea.

After years of investigation, Heuermann — the Long Island architect accused of multiple murders — pleaded guilty to seven killings and admitted to an eighth. This marks a significant turning point in the Gilgo Beach case.

This is not a full deep dive. If you want the full breakdown of the case and the documentary Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, go back and listen to Episode 7.

In this episode, we talk through:

• Rex Heuermann’s confession and guilty plea
• Why he may have chosen to confess now
• What this means for the victims and their families
• The reality of justice vs. closure
• Whether this is the full truth

We also take time to name and remember the women at the center of this case: Sandra Costilla, Karen Vergata, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello.

This case is still developing, and we will continue to follow updates as they unfold.
