Killer's four-day cycle: new doc reveals Rex Heuermann's secret routine
TL;DR
A new Peacock documentary reveals Rex Heuermann followed a four-day cycle—building trust with victims, killing in a basement 'kill room', and disposing of remains near Gilgo Beach—speeding disposal to 37 seconds by his final murder; therapist Alison Winter calls it an obsession, and the episode shows Heuermann privately confessing to family and attorneys after his eight-murder plea, while leaving open the possibility of more victims.
