The Gilgo Beach Killer's Family Should Capitalize

• 56:58Tim begins discussing the Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann and his wife filing for divorce.
• 57:41Heuermann went on dates and obsessively discussed Gilgo Beach murders, exciting himself with details and making women uncomfortable.
• 58:16Tim analyzes Heuermann as a mediocre middle-class Long Island architect—unremarkable in appearance, the kind of man you'd see at a grocery store picking up dinner for his family.
• 59:34The family hasn't visited him in jail, and Tim criticizes them for abandoning him rather than visiting out of morbid curiosity.
• 1:02:05Tim tells the Heuermann family they should capitalize on their connection to the murders—this is their only shot at becoming interesting people.
• 1:03:09The Heuermann family needs to accept their father is a murderer, see a therapist, and then start striking while the iron is hot with media deals.
• 1:03:57According to Tim, the family is now the coolest and most interesting members of every friend group they've ever been part of, entirely because of their father.
• 1:05:09Tim declares this is probably the best thing that could have happened to these three people, giving their previously mundane lives stakes and meaning.
• 1:07:09Admitting your father is the Gilgo Beach killer bonds you in a relationship and is actually a good thing to experience together.
• 1:08:12Tim says he would immediately reconnect with a friend whose father committed serial murder, and he hopes one of his friends' dads does something like this so they can become close again.
