Behind the headlines and investigation were mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and children whose lives would never be the same. After years of waiting, these families finally had their chance to speak directly to the man at the center of one of America’s most haunting serial murder cases. This is the emotional story behind the sentencing of Rex Heuermann, told case by case. What do you think these families must have felt standing in that courtroom after waiting so many years? #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #TrueCrime #SerialKiller
