“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.”
