Before police arrested the Long Island serial killer suspect Rex Heuerman, who has now confessed to  multiple murders, two other named serial killers plagued the same New York area. Now, many are asking if Rex Heuermann could also be the Eastbound Strangler or the Manorville Butcher. There are at least six more victims whose bodies were dismembered. Some of the body parts were found on Gilgo Beach. 

Despite Heuerman's investigation, the investigation into the deaths linked to the architect continues. Three cities are now re-investigating unsolved deaths in their area looking for connections to Heuermann. Other evidence found by investigators includes, computer searches showing disturbing titles of bondage, torture and  child pornography. The accused killer also drives a Chevy Avalanche described by a witness. He's caught on surveillance video buying more minutes for a burner phone. Investigators have determined a hair found on one of the victims is a DNA match to Heuermann's family. 

Now, rapper and media mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is producing a scripted drama series about the Gilgo Beach serial killer to air on Peacock  Rex Heuermann.The scripted series is based on the 2025 true-crime docuseries The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, which was also executive produced by 50 Cent’s G-Unit Films and Television. Will it show more murders connected to Rex Heuermann?

The Alexander brothers, Alon, Oren, and Tal, found guilty by a federal jury in Manhattan on 10 counts of sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and sexual exploitation. Now their sentencing hearing has been delayed from August to October.  During the five-week trial, 11 women gave graphic testimony detailing how the brothers lured them with opulent trips and parties, where they were drugged, sexually assaulted, and sometimes recorded without their consent. Prosecutors spoke to over 60 victims.  The convictions carry a maximum penalty of up to life in federal prison. Their defense team has stated they plan to appeal the verdict.

The brothers continue to face pending state criminal charges in Florida, which have been put on hold pending their federal sentencing.  In addition to the criminal trials, the brothers are dealing with a multitude of civil and defamation lawsuits filed by survivors seeking accountability and damages.

The Kaylee Goncalves Foundation does business under the name "Murder Has a Name."  It is a non-profit which provides financial support to law enforcement agencies nationwide for forensic DNA testing and investigative genetic genealogy in violent crime investigations. The murder victim's family say by removing financial barriers, the foundation can help ensure cases  access to  modern forensic science, capable of identifying perpetrators and delivering answers to families.

Law enforcement agencies can apply for testing funds and the public can view their work on the "Murder Has a Name" Foundation website. You can follow their ongoing campaigns and community initiatives via the official Goncalves Family Tips Facebook Page.
