Suspect in Gilgo Beach serial killings expected to plead guilty in court today | CNN Rex Heuermann has been in custody since July 2023 and has pleaded not guilty to the murders of seven women, including four whose bodies were found on Gilgo Beach in 2010.

“The point of ‘Lost Girls’ was that the killer chose his victims because he thought that they wouldn’t be missed. And the tragedy is that for many years he was right.”

A word about my latest feature for The Atlantic: Though it’s about sleep, I am hoping it’s not a *typical* story about sleep. I despise most stories about sleep. Why? Glad you asked... 1/7

Been a while since I shared this. The book's out soon--March 11--so banking a bunch of preorders would be a tremendous help.

Oh thank you Kevin! You’re too kind

- hey hunter

- yes, dad? what is it????

- could you pass the mashed potatoes?

- oh for cryin out loud

I appreciate that Biden let Hunter sweat it out all through Thanksgiving weekend before finally pardoning him. That’s some masterful passive-aggressive parenting there

Thanks!

Still processing this wonderful praise from one of my favorite authors. Thank you @lauralippman.bsky.social 🙏🏻

No comment except that it’s awesome

Last night on the family group chat

Picture shows a pair of laboratory scissors in process of cutting into a DNA double-helix (not to scale).

Sure, CRISPR-based gene-editing has revolutionized what we do in the lab, but what no-one talks about is how difficult it is to find the tiny scissors when you accidentally drop them in the middle of an experiment.

My deepest thanks to Harper Perennial for making this new update happen so quickly — and as always my thoughts are with the families. 2/2

Lost Girls has a new edition, on sale May 14, featuring a new 25-page epilogue on the astounding arrest of a Gilgo Beach murder suspect who’d been hiding in plain sight for more than a decade (and all the reasons that arrest didn’t happen years earlier). a.co/d/eUW0dQZ 1/2

New from me in @NYTmag: a complete year by year breakdown of the failures of the Gilgo Beach murder investigation. Everything they needed, they had almost on Day 1. What took so long to find a suspect who was in plain sight, exactly where they always thought he’d be? www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/m...

I hate doing the Tinkerbell/Jeb “please clap” thing but look, here’s the preorder link. It would mean a lot to someone if you could at least click it
