The "Monster" podcast franchise has returned with a chilling new installment: "Monster: Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer."
Hosted by filmmaker Josh Zeman, the series dives into one of New York's most infamous unsolved crimes. The podcast revisits a decade-long investigation into the elusive killer responsible for leaving nearly a dozen bodies along Long Island's beaches. While Zeman came close to uncovering the culprit years ago, an official arrest wasn't made until 2023 with architect Rex Heuermann being arrested and charged with murder. The series explores why it took authorities so long to act and examines how many lives could have been saved.
Listeners can expect an investigative, in-depth look at the case, blending interviews, analysis, and rare insights from law enforcement and those connected to the victims. The first episode also highlights the systemic failures and missed opportunities that allowed the killer to evade capture for so long.
Produced by Tenderfoot TV in partnership with iHeartPodcasts, "Monster: Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer" is a gripping addition to the true-crime genre, giving fans a front-row seat to the hunt for justice in one of America’s most notorious cases. For fans of true crime, the podcast provides both a haunting narrative and a sobering reminder of the real-world consequences of delayed justice.
