"I wouldn't have put a big bet that it would ever have been solved," Deborah Norville admits. It's just a few weeks after architectural consultant Rex Heuermann was arrested in Manhattan and charged in connection with one of the most chilling murder cases in this century, the Gilgo Beach killings. The "Inside Edition" host has been following the story closely since the first set of bodies was uncovered on Long Island 13 years ago, both on her nightly news magazine and as executive producer of the Lifetime movie "The Gilgo Beach Killer." "This case was ongoing," she recalled during a recent "Salon Talks" episode, "but wasn't getting anywhere."
Norville talked to me about the "mom with a mission" whose determination led to the discovery of the first set of bodies back in 2010, the corruption in Suffolk County that slowed the investigation and why she wasn't surprised when she learned the details about the suspect.
