In this edition of 'Eyewitness News Extra Time,' we have new details on the Gilgo Beach murder investigations and an update on the wildfires that continue to burn in Maui.



The family of accused serial killer Rex Heuermann is looking to seek the right for restitution in wake of all the damage caused to the home by investigators looking for clues.



For 12 days, the home in Massapequa Park and surrounding grounds were thoroughly searched. On Friday, lawyers showed pictures of what was left.

Trampolines and children's scooters mangled by the extreme heat. Residents of the Lahaina were being allowed back home on Friday for the first time since wildfires that have killed at least 67 people turned large swaths of the centuries-old town into a hellscape of ashen rubble.
