In the summer of 1967, I worked as a Water Safety Instructor for the Town of Babylon, Long Island, New York.

In the confines of that Town, about 40 miles east of New York City, lies Gilgo Beach, which I know well. Classic summer spot full of surfers and families. A snack bar that's been there for 70 years. A few beach houses.

Gilgo has a California vibe. Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello could have shot their beach movies there. The area is a beautiful seascape that, at one time, epitomized summer innocence.

Now it's haunted forever.

Between 1996 and 2011, a serial killer planted at least 10 bodies along the barrier island where Gilgo is. Most were sex workers.

In the winter, depositing corpses in the dense scrub east of the beach would have been easy. No one around, and access into the brush is difficult for the unprepared - few people ever go there.

Last week, police arrested 59-year-old Rex Heuermann for some of the Gilgo murders. It took more than a decade, but DNA science finally got him.

Heuermann says he didn't do it. However, my analysis is the opposite. He's entitled to a defense, but I believe he'll eventually confess. He has a wife, a grown daughter, and a special needs son. More victims. Their lives are damaged forever.

This story demonstrates that evil takes many forms. No one is immune from it. It appears at random, wreaking destruction.

But evil is essentially a theological concept, so it is largely ignored in public schools. Society, in general, rarely discusses it.

But we all know it is present. Every day. Everywhere. Stay alert.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
