from Mind Over Murder Hosted by William F. Thomas and Kristin M. Dilley

Join "Mind Over Murder" co-hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley as we discuss the Long Island Serial Killer/Gilgo Beach Murders and the recent arrest of suspect Rex Heuermann. Is he responsible for all of the LISK murders, or just the Gilgo Beach 4? Are there more than one killer on Long Island? How did Suffolk County drop the ball so badly in the LISK case? Can the new task force finally solve this mystery with new DNA tests, hair analysis and cell phone records? This is Part 3 of our discussion.
