   Number 1: Rex Heuermann's Therapist Hid THIS For Years

   This episode goes deeper into the detail from the Rex Heuermann case that's generated more questions than almost anything since his guilty plea: the therapist who worked closely with his family, and what she was reportedly hiding the entire time. Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to eight murders and is now serving three life sentences plus a hundred years at Clinton Correctional. But according to reporting, the therapist involved with his family wasn't licensed, appeared on a Peacock special discussing details tied to her clients, and reportedly guided his wife toward living in the remodeled bedroom connected to the murders. Tony Brueski and the Hidden Killers team walk through how something like this slips through, who was actually responsible for catching it, and whether it gives Heuermann's legal team any real grounds for appeal. According to the attorneys the show consulted, it does not. The episode also revisits the parts of this case that remain unresolved. One victim is still known only as Jane Doe. Families in the courtroom have said they believe there are more victims Heuermann hasn't been charged with, and he's reportedly agreed to sit down with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, though the team is skeptical he'll give up everything he knows without using it as leverage first. There's also a longer look at how Heuermann evaded detection for decades while working as an architect and living just miles from where he left his victims, and what that says about how long it can take to catch someone who understands exactly how to avoid attention. For everyone following this case from the beginning, this episode covers the full picture: what's confirmed, what's still being investigated, and what may never be fully resolved.

   Number 2: 5: Full Interview With Suspected Gilgo Beach Killer Rex Heuermann

   Rex Heuermann, a former public official, faces serious charges linked to the unsolved Long Island Serial Killer case. The charges were brought forward due to an exhaustive investigation that utilized advanced forensic techniques and leveraged digital footprints Heuermann left behind. The initial link to Heuermann was made through comprehensive cell tower data analysis, connecting him to calls made to victims' families using what has been referred to as the Barthelemy Phone. Suspicious activities on this phone, including calls to victims' families and unusual cessation of activity, coincided with Heuermann's travel schedule. Further investigation revealed Heuermann's illicit use of burner phones and online accounts under fictitious names. These were primarily used to engage with sex workers and conduct disturbing searches related to sadistic, torture-related, and child pornography. Additionally, these burner accounts were used to track developments in the investigation into the serial murders, revealing Heuermann's attempt to stay one step ahead of the investigators. In a significant discovery, a burner email account linked to Heuermann, registered under the pseudonym "Thomas Hawk," was found to have conducted thousands of searches about sex workers, disturbing pornography, and ongoing serial killer investigations. Heuermann's residence has also been implicated in the investigation. Forensic investigations revealed that DNA samples from his residence matched those found on female hairs on three of the victims, effectively linking the crimes directly to his household. These DNA profiles were matched with a high degree of certainty, excluding most of the North American population. Another damning piece of evidence was the recovery of a male hair from one of the victim's burlap wrappings. Advanced DNA analysis matched this hair to Heuermann, further solidifying his involvement in the crimes. The evidence indicates that Heuermann not only had direct contact with the victims but also went to great lengths to evade detection, including using burner phones, fake online accounts, and careful monitoring of the ongoing investigation. Rex Heuermann is in custody, facing multiple charges related to the Long Island Serial Killer case. If convicted, he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole. As the case unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the cruel capacity of individuals and the vital importance of ongoing advancements in forensic and investigative techniques.

   Number 3: 3: What Was Alleged Gilgo Beach Murderer Rex Heuermann Like To Work With

   The New York Post recently reported that in the early hours of a seemingly ordinary Friday morning on July 14, real estate agent Jeffrey St. Arromand's daily routine was abruptly shattered by a phone call that sent shockwaves through his world. The voice on the other end of the line was one of his clients, her voice shaking, breathless, and scared. The news had just broken that the notorious Gilgo Beach serial killer, who had evaded capture for over a decade, had been arrested. The suspect was Rex Heuermann, an architect she had worked closely with over the past year on a Brooklyn brownstone project. Jeffrey, of Serhant, vividly recalled his interactions with Heuermann, yet it was his client's chilling experiences with Heuermann that drew a cold veil of shock over their past professional associations. Speaking anonymously, she recounted her baffling encounters with Heuermann, which dated back to 2002 when she had purchased her Crown Heights home. Fast-forward two decades later, in 2022, Heuermann played a significant role in renovating her property as the expeditor and architect, which was ultimately sold. "She drove him home once because she relocated to Long Island," St. Arromand told The Post, hinting at a journey along a "dark and desolate." Reflecting on that eerie drive home, the client revealed a haunting conversation that had taken place between them. "At one point on the drive, we talked about the Gilgo Beach murders — we even discussed the burlap and why someone would use that. In retrospect, thinking about that conversation, it's just bone-chilling," she confessed. She noted his peculiar behavior as she delved further into her interactions with Heuermann during the renovation. "Throughout the transaction, he was becoming very difficult to work with, even belligerent sometimes. He was constantly arguing with the plumber on the job and questioning his work. Just very odd behavior," she said. "For some reason, in this transaction, he would constantly say, 'I'm not doing anything to get a fine or open an investigation of my license.'" After the finalization of the property sale, her distaste for Heuermann had grown so much that she preferred him not to attend the closing. “When we ultimately were able to close on the property, I had such a bad experience with Rex that I told him not to attend the closing,” she said. Regardless, he was still owed a balance of payment and made a separate trip to the attorney's office to pick it up. "Apparently he had some disagreement with one of the women associates at the firm. This associate was so uncomfortable with her exchange with Rex that she refused to be in the office when he picked up the check. Ultimately the partner at the firm gave the check to Rex when he arrived with his daughter," she explained. St. Arromand shared that the property was eventually sold to a celebrity buyer whose identity remains a secret. Despite the troubling interactions with Heuermann, his client had always spoken highly of his work. “She’s someone that really supported this guy,” St. Arromand expressed. "She needed the weekend just to decompress," he added, as she grappled with the shocking revelation of Heuermann's arrest. The Friday discovery marked a shocking turn of events, leaving St. Arromand and his client to grapple with the chilling reality that a man they thought they knew well could be capable of such horrendous acts. This narrative is a sobering reminder of how little we might know about those we interact with daily and the mysteries that might lurk beneath the surface.

   Number 4: 2: Rex Heuermann Attorney 'Loving Husband & Father,' Not Serial Killer

   In a world of baffling contradictions and paradoxes, the case of Rex Heuermann, the man charged with three of the heinous Gilgo Beach murders, stands out. A respected architect, a loving husband, and a dedicated father accused of chilling crimes that would make one's blood run cold. The 59-year-old's portrayal by his lawyer, Michael Brown, is a heartwarming rendition of a hardworking professional, who meticulously designs cityscapes by day while cherishing his family life by night. He's a man with a squeaky-clean record, the epitome of an ideal citizen, Brown insists. But it's a sunny story drenched in chilling irony, given the monstrous allegations the architect now faces. Heuermann's professional and family man façade crumbles away as Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney steps in to paint a grotesque picture. In this chilling version of reality, Heuermann is not the beacon of society, but a lurking predator, using the absence of his family to perpetrate horrifying murders. We are pulled into the depths of the infamous Gilgo Beach murders, a case that began in December 2010 with the discovery of Melissa Barthelemy's remains. The plot thickened as more bodies, all connected to sex work, were uncovered, casting a long, dark shadow over Long Island. A breakthrough in the case came in 2022 when a newly formed task force linked Heuermann to a Chevrolet Avalanche - the vehicle previously associated with some victims' last known locations. Suddenly, our everyday architect found himself in the glaring spotlight of suspicion, his perfect alibi unraveling. The real kicker is the technology that helped crack the case. Advanced DNA testing and mobile phone tracking, which seem more fitting in a sci-fi flick, were used to construct a damning case against Heuermann. One can't help but marvel at the ironic twist of fate. Here's a man, living in an age of unprecedented technological advancement, and this very technology lands him in the middle of a murder investigation. In an even more cinematic twist, Heuermann's home garbage bin, usually a symbol of routine domestic life, becomes the source of damning DNA evidence. Discarded bottles, partially eaten pizza crusts, all mundanely everyday items, suddenly assumed a sinister significance. The investigation also unearthed a dark digital trail - burner phones, fake email addresses, violent pornography searches, and alleged arrangements for sexual encounters. This is a striking contrast to Heuermann's public persona as a committed family man and professional architect. Heuermann's story ends, for now, with his arrest on a Thursday night, carrying one of the infamous burner phones. The irony of the situation is both chilling and thought-provoking. The architect who spent his career building structures may have, in the end, built his downfall. The Rex Heuermann case is a true testament to the strange, sometimes contradictory world we live in. It's a tale of dual lives, a study in irony, and an exploration of the darkest depths of humanity. Above all, it's a stark reminder that sometimes, reality is stranger and more horrifying than fiction. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?

   Number 5: 1: EX FBI Jennifer Coffindaffer On The Arrest Of Suspected Long Island Serial Killer

   The saga of the "Long Island Serial Killer," an enigma that has engrossed the public and confounded investigators for over a decade, might be nearing its end. Manhattan architect Rex Heuermann is now in custody, facing charges concerning the gruesome Gilgo Beach murders. However, the journey to this critical turning point was long and arduous, demonstrating the tenacity required to solve cold cases and the innovative methods investigators must deploy. The use of familial DNA, a technique that has grown in prominence over the past few years, was pivotal in advancing this investigation. Familial DNA testing involves comparing the DNA profile of an unknown suspect left at a crime scene with profiles in databases to find potential relatives, thus narrowing down the suspect list. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindfer, who has years of experience in cracking cold cases, has recently emphasized the importance of this technique. "Familial DNA testing is a remarkable tool that can breathe new life into cold cases," Coffindfer stated. However, the use of this method is not without its challenges. It requires exhaustive resources and considerable time, considering the vastness of the data that needs to be processed. Privacy concerns also surface as DNA databases often contain information from individuals not involved in any criminal activity. Balancing law enforcement's need to solve crimes and individuals' right to privacy is a delicate act that still requires comprehensive legal and ethical guidelines. In the Long Island Serial Killer case, investigators had to meticulously collect and analyze the DNA evidence associated with the crime scenes. They had to trace back familial connections, carefully navigating the vast and complex web of genetic information. It was a painstaking process, but the potential payoff was immense: identifying a suspect in a series of crimes that had remained unsolved for over ten years. The arrest of Rex Heuermann may be a testament to the power of familial DNA testing that Coffindfer alluded to. Though it took over a decade to identify a suspect, the steadfast dedication of the investigators and the advanced technology at their disposal have potentially brought a measure of closure to a community haunted by uncertainty. While it's essential to remember that Heuermann is a suspect and that his guilt or innocence is a matter for the courts to decide, there's no denying that the development, in this case, has shone a spotlight on the critical role that familial DNA testing can play in modern investigative work. As we continue to advance in genetic science and refine its use within law enforcement, it will be interesting to see how many more cold cases can be revisited and possibly solved. The decade-long pursuit of the Long Island Serial Killer underscores the perseverance of law enforcement and the invaluable contribution of scientific advancements like familial DNA. It serves as a beacon of hope for countless other cold cases, proving that with time, dedication, and the right tools, no case is ever truly forgotten. Want to listen to ALL our Podcasts AD-FREE?
