A deleted file recovered from Rex Heuermann's basement allegedly contains the Long Island Serial Killer's step-by-step methodology. According to prosecutors, eighty-seven details match how the Gilgo Beach victims were killed.The document—titled HK2002-04—was found on one of fifty-eight hard drives seized from the Massapequa Park home. Created in 2000 and modified through 2002, it allegedly contained sections for supplies, body preparation, and "lessons learned."According to court documents: A "Supplies" section allegedly listed cutting tools, acid, tarps, and cat litter. A "Body Prep" section allegedly stated: "remove head and hands, remove ID marks like tattoos." A "Things to Remember" section allegedly contained: "Hit harder... light rope broke under stress." The document allegedly referenced specific pages in FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter.Jessica Taylor's remains were found along Ocean Parkway with her head removed and tattoos mutilated. DA Ray Tierney stated: "The exact method by which these murders were committed in excruciating detail in that document is in some cases identical to the methodology used to murder the victims."Twenty-seven years under the same roof produced two completely opposite conclusions. Rex Heuermann's wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero" and described jail visits as feeling like "a first date." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer" after speaking with BTK's daughter about having an alleged killer for a father.According to prosecutors, female hairs found on multiple victims were allegedly consistent with DNA from both women. Neither is accused of involvement—the transfer allegedly came from Rex's clothing or their home.The daughter saw what the wife cannot. Both are victims of different truths.Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

"Do you know what I did to your sister?"Amanda Barthelemy was fifteen when she received that call. From her sister Melissa's phone. From a man who called seven times to taunt her about what he'd done to one of the Gilgo Four.Today we break down the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's hunting methodology—the burner phones, the victim selection, the taunting, and the cell tower evidence prosecutors say ties the Gilgo Beach Killer to every crime.The seven victims share a pattern. All sex workers. All petite. All advertised on Craigslist. All allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged LISK's family was out of town.According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was in a different location than burner phones used to contact the Gilgo Beach victims. The FBI traced calls to cell towers inside "the box"—a small area of Massapequa Park.Rex Heuermann's house was inside the box.Suffolk County court documents also allege fake email accounts under names like John Springfield and Thomas Hawk—used to create Tinder profiles and contact sex workers. Under one alias, according to prosecutors, "thousands of searches" were conducted for violent content.Even in 2022, investigators watched the alleged Long Island Serial Killer add money to burner phones. The alleged methodology never stopped.And the taunting allegedly continued beyond phone calls. Prosecutors say LISK searched obsessively for the Ocean Parkway investigation. For photos of victims. For photos of their families.DA Tierney: "His intent was specifically to locate these victims, to hunt them down, to bring them under his control, and to kill them."Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty.

July 2009. A fifteen-year-old girl answers her missing sister's phone. A man's voice asks: "Do you know what I did to your sister?"Amanda Barthelemy received seven calls over the following weeks. The man described what he'd done. On August 26, he said: "You won't see her again. I killed her."In Part 4 of our Gilgo Beach Killer series, we examine the alleged LISK hunting methodology—how prosecutors say the Long Island Serial Killer selected vulnerable women, contacted them via burner phones, and allegedly taunted families after the killings.The seven victims share a pattern. All sex workers. All petite—the planning document notes "small is good." All allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's family was away.According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was separate from burner phones when they were active. In 2012, the FBI traced calls to "the box"—a small area of Massapequa Park.Heuermann's house was inside the box.Suffolk County prosecutors also allege fake email accounts: John Springfield, Thomas Hawk, Andrew Roberts. Used to create dating profiles and contact women. Under one alias, "thousands of searches" were allegedly conducted for violent pornography and worse.Even in 2022, investigators watched the alleged Long Island Serial Killer add money to burner phones. The alleged methodology never stopped.DA Ray Tierney: "His intent was specifically to locate these victims, to hunt them down, to bring them under his control, and to kill them."Hunt.

Amanda Barthelemy, fifteen years old, received a call from her missing sister's phone. A man's voice asked: "Do you know what I did to your sister?"Over the following weeks, the man called seven times. He described what he'd done. On August 26, he said: "You won't see her again. I killed her."In this episode, we examine the alleged LISK hunting pattern that prosecutors say links Rex Heuermann to seven Long Island murders over three decades.The Gilgo Four and other victims share characteristics. All were sex workers. All were petite—the planning document allegedly notes "small is good." All advertised on Craigslist. All were allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's family was traveling.According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was in a different location than burner phones used to contact the Gilgo Beach victims.

The Long Island Serial Killer's family is split. The trial is coming. And both women may be victims of the same alleged lie.In today's episode, we examine the Gilgo Beach Killer family fracture—why his ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls Rex her "hero" while daughter Victoria has publicly stated she believes he's "most likely" guilty of the Long Island murders.According to the Peacock documentary, Asa described Rex as her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. She said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date." Their divorce was finalized in March 2025—but she still refers to him as "my husband."Victoria's evolution was different. She acknowledged there were places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed as a child. She spoke with BTK's daughter about living in the aftermath. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about LISK.But here's what makes the Gilgo Beach case even more disturbing. According to court documents, female hairs found on multiple victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither woman is accused of involvement. Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly connected to murder victims they never knew existed. Their hair allegedly helped build the prosecution's case.The family unknowingly provided the evidence.They'll all be in the same courtroom in September 2026—one believing innocent, one believing guilty.Both are collateral damage in the Gilgo Beach case.Part 3 of 5.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when you've loved a monster? When the evidence piles up but your memory tells you something different about the Gilgo Beach Killer?In Part 3 of our LISK series, we examine the fracture inside the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's family. His ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely" the Gilgo Beach serial killer.Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different realities.According to court documents, every Gilgo Beach murder Heuermann is charged with allegedly occurred when his family was out of town. But the connection runs deeper. Female hairs found on victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither is accused of involvement—Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred.The women in the alleged LISK's life were allegedly linked to murder victims without knowing.Asa's attorney has suggested trauma bonding. In the documentary, she called Rex her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. Said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date."Victoria's path was different. She acknowledged places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed. Admitted her father missed family vacations during windows when murders allegedly occurred. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about the Long Island murders.The daughter saw. The wife cannot.BTK's daughter Kerri Rawson offered support: "Asa and her kids are also victims."The Gilgo Beach trial is September 2026.

Part 3 of 5: The family fracture that defines the Long Island Serial Killer case.Asa Ellerup was married to Rex Heuermann for nearly three decades. In the Peacock documentary, she called him her "hero" and said Suffolk County police have "the wrong man." Their daughter Victoria has reached the opposite conclusion—telling producers she believes her father is "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer."Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different realities about LISK.In this episode, we examine what the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's family saw and missed, why mother and daughter diverged, and what prosecutors say may have connected them to the alleged crimes without their knowledge.According to court documents, every murder Heuermann is charged with allegedly occurred when his family was out of town. Wife in Iceland, Maryland, New Jersey—each absence allegedly corresponded with a victim's disappearance along Ocean Parkway.But the connection runs deeper. Female hairs found on multiple victims' remains were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither is accused of involvement. Prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly linked to murder victims without knowing.Victoria spoke with Kerri Rawson, BTK's daughter, about what it means to have an alleged killer for a father. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about the Gilgo Beach murders.Asa still plans to attend every day of the LISK trial. Still calls Rex her husband.The trial is September 2026.

Prosecutors call it LISK's "blueprint for murder." Defense calls it circumstantial. Today we examine every section of the planning document allegedly found on the Gilgo Beach Killer's hard drive.The file was hidden in unallocated space—someone tried to delete it. Forensic analysts recovered it. According to court documents, it allegedly contained eighty-seven details organized into operational sections."Supplies" allegedly listed cutting tools, acid, tarps, cat litter. "Body Prep" allegedly stated: "remove head and hands, remove ID marks like tattoos." "Things to Remember" allegedly contained the Long Island Serial Killer's lessons from previous crimes."Hit harder," one entry allegedly read. "Light rope broke under stress of being tightened."Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney stated: "The methodology in that document is in some cases identical to the methodology used to murder the victims in this case."Jessica Taylor was found along Ocean Parkway decapitated with mutilated tattoos. Valerie Mack's remains were scattered in a similar pattern. The document allegedly describes exactly this methodology.But here's the detail that takes the Gilgo Beach case to another level: references to FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter. Specific page numbers. Prosecutors allege LISK studied behavioral analysis to avoid getting caught.When investigators returned to the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's basement, infrared examination allegedly revealed physical evidence matching the document's descriptions. Adhesive residue. Push pins in the drop ceiling.The defense has challenged the DNA evidence and pointed to other suspects. Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all Gilgo Beach murder charges.The LISK trial is set for September 2026.

What prosecutors found on Rex Heuermann's hard drive may be the most damning evidence in the Gilgo Beach case—a deleted Microsoft Word document they say the Long Island Serial Killer used as a literal instruction manual.The file was titled HK2002-04. According to court documents, it allegedly contained eighty-seven details organized into sections: Problems, Supplies, Targets, Dump Sites, Pre-Prep, Prep, Body Prep, and Things to Remember."Remove head and hands," the Body Prep section allegedly stated. "Remove ID marks like tattoos."Jessica Taylor's remains were found along Ocean Parkway with her head removed, arms severed, and a tattoo mutilated. Valerie Mack's body was discovered in similar condition.But the "Things to Remember" section may be most disturbing. According to prosecutors, it allegedly contained LISK's lessons learned from previous crimes:"Hit harder—too many hit to take down." "Use heavy rope for neck—light rope broke under stress of being tightened." "More sleep & noise control = more play time."References to "next time" allegedly indicate prior experience being refined.And then there's the FBI connection. The Gilgo Beach Killer's document allegedly referenced specific pages in John Douglas's Mindhunter—the foundational text for behavioral analysis. Prosecutors allege LISK studied how killers get caught and used it to avoid detection.When Suffolk County investigators returned to the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's home, infrared examination allegedly revealed adhesive residue and push pins matching descriptions in the document.Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty.

Part 2 of 5: The document prosecutors say proves everything about the Gilgo Beach murders.Hidden on one of fifty-eight hard drives seized from Rex Heuermann's Massapequa Park basement, forensic analysts found a deleted Microsoft Word file titled HK2002-04. According to court documents, it allegedly contained eighty-seven details prosecutors call LISK's "blueprint for serial murder."In this episode, we examine every section of the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's planning document and its connection to the Gilgo Beach victims.According to bail applications and court filings, the document allegedly contained: "Supplies": cutting tools, acid, hair nets, tarps, cat litter "TGR" (targets): notes that "small is good" for victims "DS" (dump sites): including Mill Road in Manorville, where Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack were found "Body Prep": "remove head and hands, remove ID marks like tattoos" "Things to Remember": "hit harder," "heavy rope for neck—light rope broke" Jessica Taylor was found along Ocean Parkway decapitated with mutilated tattoos. The methodology allegedly matches.The Gilgo Beach Killer's document also allegedly referenced pages in FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter—passages about perpetrator psychology and crime scene behavior. Prosecutors allege LISK studied how serial killers get caught.When Suffolk County investigators returned to the home, infrared examination allegedly revealed physical evidence matching the document: adhesive residue on paneling, push pins in drop ceilings.DA Tierney: "The exact method by which these murders were committed in excruciating detail in that document is in some cases identical to the methodology used to murder the victims."Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty.

The family is split. The trial is coming. And the question remains: How did Rex Heuermann allegedly hide as LISK for thirty years?Today we break down the psychology of compartmentalization and what it reveals about the man prosecutors call the Gilgo Beach Killer. Rex Heuermann is charged with seven Long Island murders spanning 1993 to 2010. He's pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence.But what makes this case different is the family fracture. His ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero." She told Peacock documentary filmmakers: "I know what bad men are capable of doing. Not my husband. You have the wrong man."Their daughter Victoria sees it differently. According to producers, she now believes her father is "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer."How does the same man produce two opposite conclusions from the people who knew him best?According to forensic psychologist Scott Bonn, serial killers have "the ability to flip a switch and go from family man to sadistic killer." Dennis Rader, BTK, was a church council president. Gary Ridgway held a steady job for thirty-two years.Prosecutors allege LISK took it further. Every murder allegedly occurred when his family was out of town.

How does someone allegedly murder seven women over three decades while his family sees nothing but a devoted husband and father?Rex Heuermann was arrested July 13, 2023. Prosecutors call him LISK—the Long Island Serial Killer. His wife Asa calls him her "hero." His daughter Victoria says he's "most likely" the Gilgo Beach Killer.In this Hidden Killers deep dive, we examine the psychology that allegedly allowed the Gilgo Beach serial killer to operate undetected for thirty years. Forensic experts call it compartmentalization—the ability to separate contradicting aspects of life so completely that even spouses detect lies only fifty percent of the time.According to prosecutors, LISK didn't just compartmentalize. He allegedly engineered his double life. Every murder he's charged with occurred when his family was out of town. Wife in Iceland? Murder alleged. Wife in Maryland? Murder alleged. Cell phone records allegedly show his personal phone was always in the same location as burner phones used to contact victims.But here's the fracture that defines the Gilgo Beach case: Asa Ellerup still visits Heuermann in jail, still calls him her husband, still believes Suffolk County police have the wrong man. Her daughter Victoria has reached the opposite conclusion, telling documentary producers she believes her father is "most likely" responsible for the Ocean Parkway murders.Same twenty-seven years under the same roof. Two completely different realities.The LISK trial is set for September 2026. Judge Mazzei says it will happen "come hell or high water."This is Part 1 of our five-part series: The Architect of Horror.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part 1 of 5: How did Rex Heuermann—the man prosecutors call LISK—allegedly hide in plain sight for thirty years?This is the beginning of our comprehensive series examining the case against Rex Heuermann, the Manhattan architect charged with the Gilgo Beach murders. Seven victims between 1993 and 2010. Remains discovered along Ocean Parkway starting in December 2010. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges. His trial is set for September 2026.In this episode, we examine the psychology of compartmentalization—the phenomenon that allegedly allowed the Long Island Serial Killer to live as a family man while prosecutors say he was hunting victims whenever his wife and children were out of town.His ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero." In the Peacock documentary, she said: "I know what bad men are capable of doing. Not my husband. You have the wrong man."Their daughter Victoria has reached a different conclusion. According to documentary producers, she now believes her father is "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer."Forensic psychologist Scott Bonn explains that killers like BTK and the Green River Killer had "the ability to flip a switch and go from family man to sadistic killer." Former FBI agent Robin Dreeke suggests predators often select partners for traits that make them less likely to investigate red flags.According to Suffolk County prosecutors, every murder the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer is charged with occurred during windows when his family was traveling. Wife in Iceland, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia—each absence allegedly corresponded with a victim's disappearance.Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different conclusions about who LISK really is.The mask, if prosecutors are right, didn't slip for three decades.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The All Local afternoon update for Tuesday, January 13, 2026

The "Long Island Serial Killer" (LISK), also known as the Gilgo Beach Killer, refers to the perpetrator(s) responsible for a series of murders whose victims were discovered along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach, New York, starting in 2010. As of 2025, the primary person charged in these killings is Rex Heuermann, a 61-year-old former Manhattan architect. He was arrested in July 2023 and is currently awaiting a single trial for the murder of seven women. This is what I picked up surrounding the case

Long Island wants to believe it caught the “one monster.” The lone predator. The man who stalked in silence until the handcuffs finally closed. But the truth is far more disturbing: Rex Heuermann didn't operate in a vacuum. He operated in an ecosystem — one built on silence, vulnerability, and decades of ignored danger. And when you step back far enough, you start to see something bigger than one suspect. You see a pattern. A landscape. A coastline that became a dumping ground for the unnoticed and the unclaimed. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski breaks down why the myth of the “lone wolf” is not just false — it's dangerous. Because Long Island doesn't have one predator in its past. Authorities know this. Forensic analysts know this. Anyone who's looked at the remains found along Ocean Parkway knows this. Different signatures. Different timelines. Different patterns. More than one offender. So how did so many cases slip through the cracks? How did so many victims disappear without triggering urgency? And how many killers learned they could hide in the same shadows Rex allegedly used? Tony dives into the long, uncomfortable history of missing women, unidentified remains, and the decades of law-enforcement fragmentation that made Long Island fertile ground for serial predators. This isn't about sensationalism — it's about confronting the reality of a system that allowed multiple offenders to thrive in plain sight. If you think the arrest of Rex Heuermann solved the problem, think again. The arrest solved one case. It didn't close the chapter on the dozens of unsolved homicides that still haunt the island. Tonight, we pull back the curtain on the bigger truth — the truth officials don't say out loud:  If one predator operated this long without detection, how many others walked the same shoreline? #HiddenKillers #RexHeuermann #LongIsland #TrueCrime #LISK #Investigation #ColdCases #CrimeAnalysis #Podcast #TonyBrueski Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He looked like the guy next door — an architect, a husband, a father.  But prosecutors say Rex Heuermann was also the man behind the Gilgo Beach murders, one of the most disturbing serial-killer cases in recent memory. In this psychological deep dive, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski takes you inside the mind of control, exploring how a man can design blueprints by day and allegedly engineer horror by night. Through the lens of behavioral science, Tony examines compartmentalization, high-functioning psychopathy, and sadistic dominance — the traits that allow someone to live a double life so convincingly it fools everyone around them. From the soundproof basement to the meticulous planning, Heuermann's world wasn't chaos — it was choreography. This episode unpacks how his architecture mirrored his pathology and why the façade of normalcy is often the perfect camouflage for the worst kind of predator. Because monsters don't always hide in the dark. Sometimes they wave from the driveway. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #SerialKillerPsychology #CriminalMind #FBIProfile #LongIslandMurders #BehavioralAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer's Home Life In this special full-length edition of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Robin Dreeke—retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—for a masterclass in psychological profiling, emotional survival, and the terrifying ease with which evil can thrive inside a family home. Together, they dissect the marriage between Asa Ellerup and accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. Through footage from Peacock's documentary, The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer, Robin examines Asa's emotional patterns, her lack of curiosity, and what her devotion may reveal about how Rex was able to live a double life for decades without raising alarm. From their earliest days together—when Rex “saved” Asa from a difficult divorce—to the secret gun vault in the basement she never questioned, every detail is unpacked through the lens of behavioral science. Why did Asa never ask what her husband did during those long weekends alone? Why did she trust him so completely, even when DNA evidence tied her family to the victims? We also explore the conflicted voice of Victoria Heuermann, their daughter, who is caught between love and revulsion. Like Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK, Victoria must now reconcile the man who built her a dollhouse with the man now accused of horrific crimes. Robin Dreeke breaks down how manipulation, grooming, denial, and emotional projection form the perfect storm for long-term concealment—and how that storm unraveled in one Long Island household. This isn't just about a killer. It's about the people who lived with him. And what they may have known—or refused to see.   Hashtags: #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #VictoriaHeuermann #GilgoBeach #FBIProfiler #RobinDreeke #PeacockDocumentary #SerialKillerWife #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872  

"He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts In this deeply disturbing analysis of the Peacock documentary, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and I decode the most baffling true crime mystery: How did Rex Heuermann's family NOT KNOW he was allegedly the Long Island Serial Killer? We examine Asa Ellerup's shocking devotion to her husband despite DNA evidence linking him to seven murders. From her declaration that "he's my hero" to her bizarre claim that saying "I love you" would hurt him, we explore the psychological phenomenon of "negative hallucination" - not seeing what's right in front of you. Key revelations include: The secret room with a steel door that even his wife couldn't enter Why Rex was present 90% of the time but killed during the 10% when family was away How he chose a vulnerable, submissive partner who wouldn't question him Victoria Heuermann's evolution from defender to believing he's "most likely" guilty The disturbing prison phone calls where Asa still lights up hearing his voice Why trauma bonding can survive even murder charges This isn't just about the Gilgo Beach murders - it's about how predators select and manipulate their own families, creating expanding circles of trauma. We explore cognitive dissonance, compartmentalization, and the psychology of denial in one of the most complex true crime cases of our time. ⚠️ Content Warning: Discussion of serial murder, psychological manipulation, and family trauma #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #LongIslandSerialKiller #TrueCrime #AsaEllerup #VictoriaHeuermann #SerialKiller #CriminalPsychology #TraumaBonding #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872  

Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer's Home Life In this special full-length edition of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Robin Dreeke—retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—for a masterclass in psychological profiling, emotional survival, and the terrifying ease with which evil can thrive inside a family home. Together, they dissect the marriage between Asa Ellerup and accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann.

10 Signs Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer, Rex Heuermann's Family Missed — Behavioral Analysis from the FBI In this gripping first segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins Tony Brueski to explore the disturbing paradox at the center of the Gilgo Beach case: How did Rex Heuermann's family not know? Asa Ellerup, Rex's longtime wife, has become one of the most controversial figures in the case—not because she's accused of anything—but because of what she didn't see. In this episode, Dreeke walks us through her emotional profile, behavioral patterns, and the psychological traits that may have made her the perfect partner for a man allegedly living a double life. We examine key footage from Peacock's The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer and discuss the FBI's view of how people like Heuermann are able to manipulate those closest to them. Dreeke explains how serial predators often seek out partners who lack curiosity, who prioritize stability over questions, and who are more likely to rationalize away red flags in the name of love or loyalty. Is Asa a victim herself? Was she chosen for her trust, her dependence, or simply her desire to believe the best in someone? This segment breaks down not just her words, but her behaviors, her relationships, and the life she thought she was living—until the knock on the door that changed everything. If you've ever wondered how evil hides in plain sight, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.  Hashtags: #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #TrueCrimeAnalysis #FBIProfiler #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #SerialKillerMindset #PeacockDocumentary #DenialAndDeception Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872  

"I Finally Got Him, He's Mine" - Rex Heuermann's Wife STILL Worships Accused Gilgo Beach Killer This might be the most disturbing analysis of denial ever captured on film. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to decode footage from the Peacock documentary that reveals how Rex Heuermann didn't just hunt his victims - he carefully selected and groomed his own wife as the perfect enabler. We examine Asa Ellerup's transformation from vulnerable 18-year-old to devoted wife who STILL calls Rex her "hero" despite overwhelming evidence linking him to seven murders. This goes beyond simple denial - we're witnessing a trauma bond so powerful it's created an alternate reality. Shocking revelations include: How Rex allegedly killed Sandra Costilla BEFORE marrying Asa in 1996 Every murder occurred when Asa took the family to Iceland Rex monitored all devices and controlled every penny for 27 years Asa had NO access to bank accounts when he was arrested She took $1 MILLION for the documentary while victims' families struggle Daughter Victoria now creates "disturbing artwork" processing trauma The basement where women allegedly died is where Asa "still feels Rex" Most chilling: Prosecutors found Rex's murder planning document from 2000 with notes about "maintaining normal appearance." Was marrying Asa part of the plan? Was she chosen specifically because she'd never question, never suspect, never see? This isn't just one woman's denial - it's a masterclass in how predators identify vulnerability and create enablers who'll defend them even against DNA evidence.

Shocking Confession! Daughter Thinks Her Dad Is the Gilgo Beach Killer #Asa ellerup #VicrtoriaEllerup #rexheuermann In a shocking turn of events Victoria Ellerup believes that her father Rex Heuermann is the Gilgo Beach serial killer. Asa Ellerup still believes Rex Heuermann her husband is innocent, and her hero. Asa Ellerup received 7 figures for appearing in the Peaccock documentary.

Profiler: Why Gilgo Beach Killer Kept Murder Trophies and a 'Kill Manual' for 20 Years Description: In this chilling episode, retired FBI Special Agent and former head of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke reveals the dark psychology behind Rex Heuermann's most damning evidence - the murder planning document discovered on his computer and his collection of newspaper clippings about the Gilgo Beach killings. Why would someone accused of murdering seven women keep a detailed "kill manual" for over two decades? Dreeke explains how the 'HK2002-04' document, containing sections on body disposal, DNA avoidance, and victim selection, represents more than just planning - it's a window into the mind of a methodical predator. The document included disturbing notes like "wash body inside and all cavities" and "remove head and hands," showing a level of premeditation rarely seen even in serial killer cases. But perhaps even more revealing is Heuermann's collection of "trophies" - newspaper clippings dating back to 1993, including a 2016 People Magazine cover story about the Gilgo Beach murders. Dreeke analyzes why serial offenders keep such dangerous mementos and what psychological needs these items fulfill. Is it about reliving the crimes? Maintaining control? Or something even darker? Drawing from his decades of experience in behavioral analysis and counterintelligence, Dreeke explains how Heuermann's need to document and collect represents a fatal flaw common among serial offenders - the very evidence meant to help them often becomes their downfall. He also discusses how technology has changed the way predators operate, from the creation of digital planning documents to the mistakes that led to Heuermann's capture, including taking selfies with burner phones. This conversation is essential listening for anyone trying to understand the criminal mind and offers valuable insights into recognizing dangerous behavior patterns. Whether you're a true crime enthusiast, psychology student, or someone concerned about personal safety, Dreeke's expert analysis provides a rare glimpse into how the FBI profiles and catches serial killers in the digital age.

Big Breakdown - Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Calls Her Husband Rex Heuermann, A 'Hero' This explosive episode examines the shocking public statements made by Asa Ellerup, wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, in which she refers to her husband as a "hero" despite the mounting evidence against him. Our expert panel analyzes this unexpected development in one of Long Island's most notorious criminal cases, exploring the psychological and legal ramifications of such public support from a suspect's spouse. We delve into the complex dynamics of Ellerup's relationship with Heuermann, examining how she could maintain such a positive view of her husband while he faces charges for multiple murders. Our forensic psychologists discuss the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance in partners of accused criminals, exploring how spouses can compartmentalize information and maintain denial even in the face of overwhelming evidence. The episode features insights from relationship experts who explain the psychological mechanisms that allow partners to support accused killers. The legal implications of Ellerup's statements are thoroughly examined, including how her public support might impact jury selection, potential testimony, and the overall prosecution strategy. We discuss whether her statements could be used in court and how they might affect public perception of the case. Our legal analysts explore the precedent set by other high-profile cases where family members have publicly supported accused serial killers. Additionally, we investigate the timeline of the Gilgo Beach murders and Heuermann's alleged involvement, providing context for why Ellerup's statements are so significant. The episode includes discussion of the evidence against Heuermann, including DNA matches, cell phone data, and witness testimonies that led to his arrest. We examine how Ellerup's portrayal of her husband contrasts sharply with the prosecution's depiction of him as a calculating predator who terrorized Long Island for over a decade.

In this comprehensive breakdown, we analyze the most chilling revelations from Asa's testimony about the hidden chamber in their Massapequa Park home that contained over 300 firearms and featured a combination lock that only Rex could access. The Gilgo Beach murders have captivated true crime audiences since Rex Heuermann's arrest in July 2023, but Asa Ellerup's perspective adds a psychological dimension that's both fascinating and deeply troubling. Despite overwhelming DNA evidence, digital forensics linking Rex to torture pornography, and over 200 computer searches about the Gilgo Beach case, Asa maintains her husband's complete innocence. Her detailed descriptions of their daily routines, Rex's whereabouts during the alleged murder timelines, and her explanations for the secret basement room reveal the complex psychology of denial in extreme circumstances. This video examines the ten most disturbing details Asa revealed about their home life, including the basement room's true purpose, Rex's gun collection, and the family dynamics that allegedly allowed a serial killer to hide in plain sight for decades. We'll explore the forensic evidence that contradicts Asa's timeline, analyze the psychological mechanisms behind her unwavering support, and discuss what her testimony means for Rex Heuermann's upcoming trial. From trauma bonding to willful blindness, Asa Ellerup's story raises profound questions about how well we really know the people closest to us. Her revelations about the secret room, combined with her steadfast defense of Rex despite mounting evidence, make this one of the most psychologically complex cases in recent true crime history. #GilgoBeachKiller #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #GilgoBeachMurders #PeacockDocumentary #CriminalPsychology #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrimeDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
