Introducing: Monster: Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer

Speaker 1 All right, you guys are on?

Speaker 1 This is Gilgo Beach.

Speaker 2 I remember it like it was yesterday.

Speaker 3 Bombshell tonight.

Speaker 1 Investigators on Long Island say they found the remains of 10 people thought to be the victims of a serial killer.

Speaker 2 The day they had finally caught the Long Island serial killer, a.k.a.Sk, one of the most elusive serial killers of the 21st century.

Speaker 4 Shocked today after an arrest in the infamous Gilgo murders 59 year old rex huerman from long island is now charged in the murders of three women 10 years earlier we had gone on our own hunt for lisk and even though we didn't find him i had no idea how close we came closer than anyone had been before were you with my house collect yes we were looking for you

Speaker 2 we followed every lead hoping to find Lisk before he found his next victim.

Speaker 5 So do you think he's gonna strike again?

Speaker 6 Absolutely. Where should we look? Craig's Lis.

Speaker 6 Same way he finds us.

Speaker 7 The body count is climbing as investigators grapple with a very elusive monster.

Speaker 8 Before this sick bastard is caught, they are gonna find more bodies out here in these woods.

Speaker 6 State police. Yeah, there's some of the ostenary.

Speaker 6 These people are falling for killing.

Speaker 2 Our investigation got so close, we may have even gotten the attention of Lisk himself.

Speaker 5 We're learning that Rex Human may have called a documentary filmmaker. Audio expert Anthony Nelson analyzed the recordings for Inside Edition.

Speaker 2 In my opinion, it sounds exactly like him. But as we dug deeper, we discovered the hunt for a serial killer was only half the story.

Speaker 3 There is no other way to describe this except explosive. There's a connection between Suffolk Police, prostitutes, and Gilgo Beach.

Speaker 6 Former Suffolk County Chief of Police James Burke was put in handcuffs.

Speaker 8 Chief, he's still denying the accusations?

Speaker 2 And then we found it. The clue, buried in our footage all along.

Speaker 6 He was driving a green,

Speaker 1 what the hell is that thing called? Green Avalanche, a Chevy Avalanche truck.

Speaker 2 And I couldn't help but ask why. Why didn't anyone catch him sooner?

Speaker 7 It was a tip about this Chevy Avalanche that led to the arrest of Rex Ewerman.

Speaker 9 Investigators had a description of a Chevrolet Avalanche in their case files since 2010.

Speaker 2 With a criminal trial pending, we're looking back and asking the question: why did this man get away with something so monstrous for so goddamn long?

Speaker 6 I'm Rex Schewerman, born and raised on Long Island, working in Manhattan since 1987.

Speaker 2 From Tenderfoot TV and iHeart Podcasts, I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer. Coming November 17th.
