Rex Heuermann’s victims got a measure of justice last month, but the pain and the questions linger for their families. The deranged former architect spent decades murdering sex workers and callously dumping their brutalized remains around Gilgo Beach, Long Island.
Heuermann, 62, was sentenced last month to more than three life sentences in prison for eight murders. He was captured in 2023 by investigators who stealthily captured him on a midtown Manhattan street after collecting DNA evidence and tracking his activities.
Anguished relatives of the young women he killed finally had the chance to address Heuermann at his June 17 sentencing. They shared with the world the torment of living without answers for years.
This week on The Trial: USA, we bring you a special interview from Daily Mail reporters Rachel Sharp and Ruth Bashinsky with the family of Gilgo Beach victim Megan Waterman, a 22-year-old Maine resident who was killed in 2010.
Elizabeth Meserve was among a group of victim relatives who doggedly pushed law enforcement to solve the Gilgo Beach case. She’s joined today by her niece, Liliana Waterman. Liliana is Megan’s daughter who was just 3 years old when her mom disappeared.
In this episode, you’ll hear their story of pain and perseverance — and what it was like to finally see Heuermann face consequences.

It’s another chance for Alex Murdaugh to try to prove he did not callously gun down his wife and youngest son.
Murdaugh was previously convicted of fatally shooting Maggie and Paul Murdaugh in a desolate area of his family’s sprawling South Carolina property.
The wealthy Lowcountry lawyer got a reprieve in May when the state’s top court found an elected clerk who managed the trial had inappropriate dealings with jurors.
Murdaugh was in court last week for the first time since that ruling.
On this episode, the Daily Mail’s Rachel Sharp joins The Trial: USA host Kayla Brantley to break down what happened in court and what may be next.

They were materials that prosecutors say were procured for a sole purpose: murder.
In this episode, we’re joined by the Daily Mail’s West Coast News Editor Marjorie Hernandez to discuss the upcoming preliminary hearing in the Los Angeles district attorney’s case against singer D4VD, or David Anthony Burke.
Hernandez details what prosecutors have revealed so far, including that the young music artist made online purchases for the alleged purpose of mutilating 14-year-old Celeste Rivas and concealing the grisly crime. D4Vd has pleaded not guilty.

“A demon that walks among us.”
That’s what former Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said about Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heurmann during an announcement of the elusive suspect’s arrest in 2023.
Harrison worked on numerous headline-grabbing investigations over a 30-year career in the NYPD as an investigator and top executive but he may best be known for orchestrating the law enforcement task force that finally led to Heurmann’s capture.
In a Long Island courtroom last week, Heurmann received multiple life sentences without the option of parole after pleading guilty in April. There was no apology to offer the still-shaken family members who finally had a chance to share their accounts of devastation and torment with Heurmann.
Harrison joins The Trial: USA this week with a behind-the-scenes account of the effort to close one of New York’s most memorable crime investigations. He recently authored “The Commissioner: From Street Cop to Top Cop in the NYPD, and the Inside Story of the Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer.”

Karmelo Anthony’s lethal force against Austin Metcalf during a 2025 teenage track meet scuffle was not justified.
That was the finding of the Texas jury in Anthony’s case last week. The same panel sentenced the 19-year-old to 35 years in prison for murder.
Yet the conviction remains a topic of intense interest and controversy. It has been framed as a racial injustice by Anthony’s supporters despite testimony from a number of witnesses that he was not in danger.
Metcalf, 17, another local athlete, died for nothing and the verdict was deserved, others say.
In this episode, James Stainton, a district attorney from another county in the greater Dallas area, breaks down the law and how it applies.
Stainton explains to The Trial: USA’s Kayla Brantley that the jury followed the law.
Tune in for this in-depth analysis on Anthony’s case.

Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial happened in Texas but the case has triggered strong reactions from observers around the country.
The 19-year-old’s legal team argued self-defense but witnesses told the jury that Anthony was never in danger. He was simply being asked to leave a private area belonging to a rival high school’s track squad.
Daily Mail’s Texas Bureau Chief MaryAnn Martinez joins us this week to break down the evidence and dispel misinformation that has been amplified on social media. Unsubstantiated theories have circulated since April 2025, when 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was killed. He died in the arms of his twin brother.
Anthony was found guilty of murder at his trial last week and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The verdict has renewed accusations of racism from his supporters even as the jury rejected his justification defense.
Tune into Martinez’s conversation with Kayla Brantley to learn what the evidence at trial revealed and what claims are not supported by fact.

Cartisha Morgan came to CrimeCon in the hopes of bringing attention to the case of her missing daughter and young grandchild, a toddler when she vanished. Morgan believes her daughter Ma’Kayla Wickerson bought into the teachings of a group that police have called a cult before disappearing with the tot from their Missouri home.
Another family was at the event to ask to promote their campaign for answers. Christopher Abeyta, a 7-month-old, was stolen from his crib in Colorado Springs nearly 40 years ago. His family, including a niece he never met, wants police to focus on a woman who they believe may have gotten away with the crime. They hope that person can explain what happened to baby Christopher.
The episode this week brings you a roundup of these stories and others from the Crime Desk team at CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas.

We share in this episode an in-depth conversation with the parents of Kaylee Concalves at CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas where they promoted the “Murder Has a Name” foundation started in their daughter’s honor to help other families find answers with the help of advanced DNA technology.
Steve and Kristi Goncalves also discussed their family’s raw anger at killer Bryan Kohberger’s sentencing and the risk they decided to take to speak their minds unfiltered.
‘These guys need to be treated like the animals that they are,’ Steve Goncalves told the Mail. ‘If you're gonna behave like an animal, treat them like an animal.’
The couple also discusses threats they've faced from supporters of Kohberger and the twisted logic his fans have used to challenge investigative facts, even though his criminal case resulted in Kohberger’s guilty plea last year.
Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole for the 2022 slayings. Kaylee’s parents say he should have received nothing less than capital punishment.
Join us for Daily Mail US Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp’s full interview with the Goncalves parents.

James Stainton spent years working to bring Tanner Horner to justice for abusing and killing a beloved child before callously discarding her remains in rural Texas on November 30, 2022.
On this episode, Stainton shares with The Trial: USA’s Kayla Brantley what it was like to shoulder the task of seeking justice for Athena Strand and her devastated family. He also discusses capital punishment and why, as he argued at trial, Horner's actions are why the death penalty exists.
Horner was sentenced to execution by lethal injection on May 5 after a five-week jury trial held to determine his fate. He’d previously pleaded guilty to murder and kidnapping the first-grader, who was abducted from her family’s sprawling property in Paradise, Texas.
Athena’s death devastated her family, friends and community. She inspired a law that enables law enforcement to employ quicker responses to missing children calls by issuing what has become known as an “Athena Alert.” Her family also started a charity in her honor in an effort to share the little girl’s legacy.

The latest development in the Alex Murdaugh story was a ruling by the highest court in South Carolina reversing his conviction for the 2022 murder of his wife and son.
An elected county court clerk was accused of tampering with the jury process by hinting to sitting panelists that Murdaugh was guilty — a stunning betrayal of the public’s trust that the court said denied him a fair trial.
The clerk, Rebecca Hill, faced her own investigation and resigned.
In this episode, legal expert and retired chief judge of the South Carolina Court of Appeals James Lockemy discusses the Murdaugh reversal with The Trial: USA’s Kayla Brantley.
The episode breaks down Hill’s flagrant conduct which included plans for a behind-the-scenes book during the trial.
Evidence presented in post-trial proceedings examined how Hill hoped to profit from the publication, which was released six months after the trial but later pulled from circulation.
Hill pleaded guilty in December to obstruction of justice and perjury for releasing graphic, sealed crime scene photos to the media and lying about it under oath at a 2024 hearing. The ex-official also admitted to improperly awarding herself cash bonuses.
Murdaugh’s increasingly complicated prosecution is now headed toward a retrial. He could also now face the possibility of a death sentence if convicted again.

Justice for a joyful little girl who was abducted outside her rural Texas home and murdered by a stranger driving a delivery truck.
MaryAnn Martinez, the Daily Mail’s Texas bureau chief, was in the courtroom as a jury sealed the fate of 7-year-old Athena Strand’s killer, Tanner Horner.
Athena, a first-grader with an affinity for the outdoors and the color pink, was abused and tortured by Horner, a FedEx driver, before he killed her and callously discarded her tiny frame in a nearby creek on Nov. 30, 2022.
A frantic, multi-day search for Athena ensued. The child’s death traumatized her rural community.
Horner pleaded guilty to murder and kidnapping in April but a jury still had to determine his fate, which in Texas included the possibility of the death penalty. After a five-week trial,
Athena’s family watched as the panel found that Horner should be executed by lethal injection.
On this episode, Martinez discusses the case with host Kayla Brantley and takes us inside the courtroom for the dramatic last moments of the proceeding.
We also learn what is expected to happen next as Horner waits on death row.

A rising music star is now facing one of the most serious charges in the US justice system.
D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) has been charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Prosecutors allege the two were in a relationship - and claim he killed her to protect his career, after fears their connection could be exposed. Her remains were later discovered inside a Tesla linked to Burke, months after she was last seen.
He now faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstances, including allegations of financial gain and killing a potential witness, meaning he could face life without parole, or even the death penalty if convicted.
Burke has pleaded not guilty, and his defense team says he is not responsible for her death.
In this episode, we take you back to the beginning of the case - who D4vd is, who Celeste was, and what investigators say happened.
Plus, Luke Kenton joins us to break down the latest developments from inside the courtroom, the evidence prosecutors are building - and what happens next.

Rex Heuermann has pleaded guilty to killing eight women, bringing a chilling chapter in one of America’s most notorious serial killer cases closer to an end.
In this episode of The Trial: USA, we take you inside the courtroom on the day many thought would never come.

A 17-year-old girl disappears on Halloween. And for more than half a century - no definitive answers.
In 1974, Laura Ann Aime vanished after leaving a party in Utah. Weeks later, her body was found in the mountains. Investigators long suspected Ted Bundy - and before his execution in 1989, he even confessed to her murder.
But it wasn’t enough to close the case.
Now, decades later, a major breakthrough in DNA technology has finally confirmed Bundy as her killer - officially bringing an end to one of the many cold cases tied to his name.
In this episode of The Trial: USA, host Kayla Brantley is joined by Daily Mail Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp to unpack the latest breakthrough and explain the new DNA technology that made it possible.

For more than a decade, the murders at Gilgo Beach haunted Long Island - a string of victims, discovered along a remote stretch of coastline, with no arrests and few answers. Until 2023.
Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect, was charged with the murders of seven women - accused of carrying out one of the most chilling killing sprees in recent US history. He pleaded not guilty.

In this episode, Senior Crime Correspondent Rachel Sharp steps in for Kayla Brantley and is joined by Daily Mail reporter Ruth Bashinsky - two journalists who have been covering this case from the very beginning.
Together, they take you through the full story, from the first disappearance, to the discovery of the bodies, the years the case went cold, and the breakthrough that led police to Heuermann.

So what changed? On this week’s episode, host Kayla is joined by Daily Mail Senior News Reporter Natasha Anderson to unpack what happened, why the case went cold, and the new developments that led to this long-awaited arrest.

In this episode of The Trial: USA, we take you inside the case of Redmond O’Neal, son of Hollywood icon Farrah Fawcett, whose long history of addiction, mental illness, and arrests has culminated in a shocking series of alleged violent attacks across Los Angeles.
Prosecutors say O’Neal carried out a week-long crime spree in 2018 - including the brutal beating of one man with a glass bottle and the stabbing of another, leaving him with traumatic, life-altering injuries.
But for years, this case was paused - after a judge ruled O’Neal was not mentally competent to stand trial.
Now, nearly a decade later, he has been deemed fit to face justice and new, disturbing details are emerging in court.
Daily Mail’s West Coast correspondent Marjorie Hernandez was in the courtroom for O’Neal’s preliminary hearing - and joins us to break down what happened, what the witnesses revealed, and what comes next.

A Manhattan jury has found luxury real estate brothers Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander guilty on all counts in a sweeping sex-trafficking case prosecutors say spanned more than a decade.
Jurors heard testimony from 11 women who accused the brothers of drugging and raping them - with one victim describing the attack as feeling like being ‘mauled by wild animals'.
In this episode of The Trial: USA, Daily Mail senior reporter Luke Kenton, who was inside the courtroom for the verdict, joins Kayla Brantley to takes us through the dramatic moment the brothers were convicted, the evidence that may have sealed their fate, and the emotional scenes that unfolded both inside the courtroom and outside the courthouse.
Plus, the latest on the woman accused of opening fire outside Rihanna’s Los Angeles home, and new developments in the Kouri Richins trial.
