What secrets can lie in the shadows of a relationship, especially when one partner is a suspected serial killer? This question is the focus of a "Hidden Killers" podcast episode, where host Tony Brueski and guest Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," discuss the chilling case of Rex Heuermann. Attorney John Ray, representing some of the LISK victims, brings forward detailed affidavits describing Heuermann's alleged violent actions dating back to the 1990s.

Accounts from survivors like Taylor, a club bottle girl, and Mary Poe, a sex worker who survived a gunshot from Heuermann, paint a haunting picture of the suspect. Motta compares Heuermann to infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy, noting their similar predatory behavior and the number of people who narrowly escaped their clutches. "He gives me like the biggest Gacy vibe," Motta observes, emphasizing the grave nature of Heuermann's case.

Brueski and Motta delve into why many of Heuermann's alleged victims, mainly sex workers, might not have reported their encounters to law enforcement. Motta suggests that fear of prosecution and societal stigma could have silenced these individuals, allowing Heuermann to continue his alleged crimes undetected.

The conversation shifts to Asa Heuermann, Rex's spouse, with Brueski and Motta speculating on her possible knowledge of his activities. They discuss the complexities of spousal privilege in legal proceedings and whether Asa could be compelled to testify against her husband. Motta raises the point, "did the wife know?" highlighting a common curiosity in cases involving married suspects.

The episode ends with Motta and Brueski pondering the potential outcomes of the documentary Asa Heuermann is filming. They question whether it could inadvertently reveal incriminating evidence against her or her husband, drawing a parallel to Robert Durst's infamous confession.
