Rex Heuermann is scheduled to be sentenced in Long Island, New York on June 17, 2026, after pleading guilty to the murders of seven women and admitting responsibility for an eighth. In this episode, Profiling Evil looks at the Gilgo Beach case from a criminal behavior perspective, not by glorifying the killer, but by asking a practical question: why do serial killers do what they do? We’ll talk about four things that often show up in serial murder cases: fantasy, the thrill of the hunt, the gap between fantasy and reality, and the offender’s desire for legacy. Most importantly, we’ll remember the victims: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, and Karen Vergata. We’ll also talk about Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance helped expose the terrible reality hidden along Ocean Parkway, and why we need to keep pushing for answers in cases involving unidentified and overlooked victims.#RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #LongIslandSerialKiller #MelissaBarthelemy #MeganWaterman #AmberLynnCostello #MaureenBrainardBarnes #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostilla #ValerieMack #KarenVergata #ShannanGilbert #AsianDoe #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #CriminalBehavior #Victimology #BehavioralAnalysis #SerialKiller #ColdCase #CrimeScene #JusticeForVictims #PersonalSafety #CrimePrevention #FBI #GilgoFour #LongIslandCrime #MissingPersons #UnidentifiedVictims #GIS #storymaps #Esri========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to:
