We told you we'd be back with an update once sentencing happened. It happened this week, and we have a lot to say about it.

Quick recap if you need it: from the 1990s through the 2010s, an ogre of a man used Craigslist to target small, vulnerable women across New York, lured them to his own home, and killed them there. Rex Heuermann has been tied to eight victims. If you haven't heard Part 1 and Part 2 of our Long Island Serial Killer coverage yet, go back and start there first, this episode will hit a lot harder with the full story behind it.

This week we break down what happened inside the courtroom during sentencing; the victim impact statements, what Rex said when given the chance to speak, and the judge's response to him. Several family members didn't hold back, and two statements in particular are ones we won't forget anytime soon.

Rex Heuermann was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. After more than thirty long years since his rein on terror began, there's finally some accountability.

We've linked footage from the hearing and the victim statements on our website if you want to see it for yourself.
