# The Latest Serial Killer Investigations: DNA Breakthroughs, Cold Cases, and Unsolved Mysteries

Join Detective Emily "Em" Carter as she dives into the most compelling serial killer cases making headlines today. In this gripping episode, Em explores the controversial DNA evidence in the Gilgo Beach murders, where suspect Rex Heuermann's trial continues to captivate the nation.

Discover how modern forensic techniques are revolutionizing decades-old investigations as Em reveals how authorities finally closed the case of Sharon Kinne (known as "La Pistolera"), a fugitive whose criminal saga spanned multiple countries since the 1960s.

The episode also examines the ongoing hunt for the elusive Little Rock Slasher, who has terrorized Arkansas since 2020, targeting both homeless individuals and pedestrians in public areas. Em provides valuable context on America's most notorious serial crime hotspots, including Illinois' connection to John Wayne Gacy and New York's dark history with killers like David Berkowitz.

Whether you're a true crime enthusiast or fascinated by criminal psychology, this episode offers expert analysis on both historical cases and active investigations, highlighting the evolving nature of justice and the lasting impact on survivors and communities.
