Along Ocean Parkway: The Gilgo Beach Murders and the Man Next Door A quiet stretch of Long Island road hides a chilling secret. Over more than a decade, multiple women vanished-lives cut short, left uncounted and unseen. When the first bodies were discovered along Ocean Parkway, the shocking truth emerged: a serial killer had been operating in plain sight. This book tells the full story of the Gilgo Beach murders, the lives of the women lost, and the unraveling of the case that finally led to the arrest of Rex Heuermann-the seemingly ordinary neighbor and Manhattan architect whose suburban routine concealed unimaginable crimes. Through meticulous investigation, digital forensics, and eyewitness accounts, Along Ocean Parkway exposes how isolation, systemic failures, and modern technology intersected to hide and ultimately reveal a decade of horror. It is a story of victims, persistence, and the pursuit of justice in the face of staggering tragedy. For true-crime readers who want more than headlines, this book provides a thorough, humanized, and unflinching account of one of New York's most infamous serial murder cases.
