CBS’s 48 Hours begins its 36th season with an episode that focuses on the Gilgo Beach killings and alleged murderer Rex Heuermann. Season 36 episode one airs on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT and includes an exclusive interview with someone who worked with Heuermann at his company, RH Consultants & Associates.
Correspondent Erin Moriarty, who knows the Gilgo Beach case well after covering it for over a dozen years, spoke with Muriel Henriquez about her knowledge of Heuermann. In the interview featured on the season 36 opener, Henriquez confesses to being disturbed by Heuermann’s tracking skills.
Henriquez recalled an instance when she told Heuermann she was taking a cruise to celebrate her birthday. When he asked where she was going, Henriquez told him, “I’m going to be in the middle of the ocean, and you’re not going to find me in the middle of the ocean.” Heuermann assured her that he could find her, and on the second day of her cruise, she discovered he was telling the truth.
“There was a white envelope under my door … It was a note from [Heuermann]. The note said, ‘I told you I could find you anywhere,'” said Henriquez.
Episode two of the new season will air immediately following the season premiere at 10pm ET/PT. “The Night of the Idaho Student Murders” examines new information about the case against Bryan Kohberger for the murders of four University of Idaho students – Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
Peter Van Sant spoke with Kaylee’s parents Steve and Kristi Goncalves who believe Kohberger knew when people were going to be coming and going in the house. “I think he at least had opened that door, went in, tested the waters, looked around,” said Kristi Goncalves in the 48 Hours interview.
Kohberger is currently being held at the Latah County Jail in Moscow, Idaho. His trial was originally set for October 2, 2023, however the judge agreed to postpone it after Kohberger waived his right to a speedy trial.
