Rex Heuermann isn't reading sports books in his cell. He's not reading cookbooks or self-help or anything a person does when they're processing what they've done. According to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, the Gilgo Beach killer has been pulling crime novels from the jail library — specifically books about serial killers and the investigators who chase them.That detail alone is disturbing. But it's not the whole picture.According to reporting, Heuermann also struck up a correspondence with Keith Hunter Jesperson, the Happy Face Killer, who reportedly sent over ten letters from his Oregon prison cell. Out of every piece of mail Heuermann received — interview requests, pen pal offers, collectors — Jesperson was reportedly the only person he wrote back to. And he described Jesperson's letters as “a help and a comfort.”I dug into the forensic psychology behind why killers seek each other out from behind bars. It's a documented phenomenon. Convicted killers have been writing to other convicted killers for decades — seeking attention, affinity, and in the most disturbing cases, inspiration. The Gilgo Beach LISK case now has its own entry in that pattern.What makes Heuermann's case different is the behavioral profile. The sheriff who has watched him for more than a thousand days says the man has never once changed his facial expression. Never shown discomfort or despair. The reading list, the killer correspondence, the emotional flatness — taken together, they paint a picture of a man who appears to be settling into an identity rather than reckoning with one.Every true crime case raises questions about psychology. This one answers some of them.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Rex Heuermann has been locked in a cell at the Riverhead Correctional Facility for over a thousand days. The Gilgo Beach killer. The LISK. The man who admitted to killing eight women across Long Island over seventeen years. And according to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, in all that time, Rex Heuermann has never once shown a change in emotion. No despair. No discomfort. Nothing.The sheriff, who has spent more than four decades in law enforcement, said he's never seen an inmate like this. His assessment, according to reporting: he believes Heuermann is a sociopath.What makes that assessment even more chilling is what Heuermann has been doing with his time. According to reporting, he's been devouring crime novels about serial killers from the jail library. He reportedly struck up a correspondence with Keith Hunter Jesperson — the Happy Face Killer — the only person he chose to write back to out of all the mail arriving at his cell. And in that letter, he reportedly called Jesperson's correspondence “a help and a comfort.”I take a deep dive into the psychology of what happens when a man like Heuermann stops performing for the public and starts settling into who he apparently always was. The reading list. The correspondence with another killer. The total absence of emotion over three years. Forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland's research into why killers seek each other out maps directly onto what we're seeing with Heuermann.This isn't remorse. This isn't guilt. According to the people watching him every day, this is a man becoming comfortable with exactly who he is.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nos anos 90, cartas anônimas começaram a chegar à polícia e à imprensa nos Estados Unidos — cheias de detalhes sobre assassinatos brutais e assinadas com um simples rostinho sorridente.

Known as the “Happy Face Killer” for his habit of drawing smiley faces on anonymous confession letters he sent … Continue reading Episode 475: Keith Hunter Jesperson – The Happy Face Killer

The Power of Confessions According to the Innocence Project, nearly 30% of wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence involved false confessions. This number is even more alarming for juveniles, as 69% of those aged 12 to 15 who were falsely convicted had made a false confession. Research shows that jurors convict people who have confessed more than 70% of the time, even if the confession is proven false. Case 1: Robert Durst Robert Durst, heir to a New York real estate fortune, was suspected in three suspicious deaths: his wife Kathie Durst, his best friend Susan Berman, and his neighbor Morris Black. He became the subject of the HBO documentary series, The Jinx. In a stunning turn of events, a hot mic captured Durst muttering, "What the heck did I do? Killing them all, of course," which became an infamous confession. He was arrested the night before the finale of the series aired and was later convicted of first-degree murder for Susan Berman's death. Case 2: Henry Lee Lucas Known as the "Confession Killer," Henry Lee Lucas confessed to hundreds of murders he didn't commit. After being arrested for illegal firearm possession, he began confessing to dozens, and then hundreds, of unsolved murders across the country. Law enforcement created the "Lucas Task Force" and closed more than 200 cold cases based on his confessions. However, a journalist later exposed that Lucas couldn't have committed many of the crimes due to conflicting timelines. The false confessions misled families who were desperately seeking closure, and the real killers remained free. Case 3: Laverne Pavlinac Laverne Pavlinac fabricated a story and confessed to a murder she didn't commit to frame her abusive boyfriend, John. She hoped it would send him to prison and free her from their volatile relationship. Despite John denying any involvement, Laverne's detailed confession led to both of them being convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. While they were in jail, the real killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson, later known as the Happy Face Killer, continued his killing spree. Case 4: Earl Valentine After shooting his ex-wife Keisha and their son Earl Jr., Earl Valentine went live on Facebook to confess to the crime. He stated, "I just killed my wife. I don't feel any remorse for what I did". This real-time confession went viral before being removed, raising urgent questions about technology and domestic violence. Keisha survived, but their son Earl Jr. died from his injuries after calling 911. Case 5: Mark "Chopper" Read Mark "Chopper" Read was a notorious Australian gangster, author, and comedian who was never convicted of murder. However, just 16 days before his death from liver cancer, he gave a final interview and confessed to killing four men. Despite his history of exaggeration, police reviewed his claims. To this day, questions remain about the sincerity of his deathbed confession, with many believing it was his last act of showmanship.
Keith Hunter Jesperson wanted the world to know his name.He wanted the spotlight, the ink, the infamy—so badly that when his first murder was pinned on someone else, he couldn't stand it. That's when the crude smiley faces started showing up on letters to police and the media, signed by the man who would become known as the Happy Face Killer.But in this ReWired episode, we dig beneath the sensational headlines and handwritten taunts to ask the bigger questions: What makes someone so desperate for recognition that they risk everything just to be seen? How do ego, power, and psychological compulsion turn into a deadly cocktail?And why does society sometimes feed the very monsters it claims to fear? From truck stop highways to the dark corners of a killer's mind, Dani pulls apart Jesperson's calculated confessions, his manipulative tactics, and the sociological threads that tie this case to a culture obsessed with notoriety.It's a story about murder, ego, and the uncomfortable truth about our fascination with both.This isn't just the story of a killer—it's the anatomy of an attention addict.
In this week's Uncovered episode, Brian dives into the chilling case of Keith Hunter Jesperson—better known as the Happy Face Killer.Jesperson was a long-haul trucker with a deadly double life, using the open road to mask a cross-country killing spree in the early 1990s.While police and the public remained unaware, Jesperson began anonymously confessing to his crimes—signing his letters with a chilling smiley face.But this is more than just a story of a murderer on the move. It's a cautionary tale of missteps in criminal justice, a media frenzy that targeted the wrong suspects, and a manipulative killer who craved recognition as much as control.From his first known victim, Taunja Bennett, to the infamous confession letters and the unraveling of a case that left innocent people behind bars, Brian breaks down the timeline, exposes the procedural failures, and pulls apart the tangled truth behind one of America's most disturbing serial killers.No theories. No speculation. Just the cold, hard facts—delivered with the precision and depth only a former cop can bring.

The "Happy Face Killer" is the nickname given to Keith Hunter Jesperson, a notorious American serial killer who operated in the 1990s. Jesperson's killing spree began in 1990 and continued until his arrest in 1995. He earned the moniker "Happy Face Killer" because he sent letters to the media and law enforcement boasting about his crimes, often signing them with a smiley face.Jesperson's victims were primarily women, and he targeted them while working as a long-haul truck driver, allowing him to move across multiple states and evade capture for a time. He was convicted of eight murders, although he claimed to have killed more than 160 people, a claim that is not substantiated. His modus operandi typically involved strangulation.In 1995, Jesperson was apprehended and later sentenced to multiple life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.Now after thirty four years, his sixth victim who has only been known as a Jane doe for all these years, finally has her name back. That name? Suzanne Kjellenberg.

How did a bizarre confession derail the investigation into the first murder committed by Keith Hunter Jesperson, the notorious “Happy Face Killer,” and allow him to remain on the loose, killing at least seven more women? A new two-hour “20/20” reports on how after authorities discovered the body of Taunja Bennett in the Columbia Gorge in 1990, 57-year-old Laverne Pavlinac confessed to the police that she took part in the crime. She provided convincing evidence that implicated her and her boyfriend, 39-year-old John Sosnovske, in the murder, and they were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In a shocking twist, Pavlinac's confession turned out to be false in an attempt to escape what she described as an abusive relationship with Sosnovske. With reporting by “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang, “20/20” dives into how Pavlinac was able to dupe police, featuring audio from the couple's confessions and police interviews, and from the hidden microphone installed in Pavlinac's apartment when she tried to convince Sosnovske that he was involved in the murder. The two-hour program features an exclusive interview with Melissa Gavin, a friend of Julie Winningham, the last person Jesperson killed before his arrest; and new interviews with John Ingram, lead detective who investigated Bennett's murder; Jim McIntyre, prosecutor for Pavlinac and Sosnovske's cases; Darlene Carpenter and Bonnie McAlpine, Pavlinac's daughters; Michelle White, Bennett's sister; Melissa Moore, Jesperson's daughter; and Alafair Burke, bestselling author and former prosecutor who based her first novel on the case.

She began her career in television, making appearances in commercials and television series as well as in the film Jaws: The Revenge, she provided voices for animated characters in “All Dogs Go To Heaven” and “The Land Before Time” as Ducky, where she was known for her famous line of "Yep, yep yep". She and her mother, Maria, were killed in July 1988 in a double murder-suicide committed in their home by her father, József Barsi.Amber was drinking Browne Family Rose Grenache, and she really enjoyed it.Sources:www.mirror.co.uk. / “Haunting tale of child star Judith Barsi who was shot dead by her dad aged 10 after years of abuse” Judith Barsi was murdered at the age of just 10 by her own father, who also killed her mother bfore turning the gun on himself / Molly Pike / July 25, 2020www.medium.com / “The Murder of Child Star Judith Barsi” / Lori Johnston / June 7, 2020www.the-sun.com / Ghost of Jaws child star Judith Barsi ‘Is HAUNTING LA home 32 years after she was brutally murdered by drunken dad' / Fionnuala O'Leary / October 6, 2020www.truecrimeedition.com / “The Short Life and Murder of Judith Barsi” / May 25, 2021www.latimes.com / “A Script of Fear: Repeated Threats by Father of Child Actress Carried to Tragic End” / John Johnson & Gabe Fuentes / August 7, 1988www.en.wikipedia.orgThen Erika covers the chaotic killings of Keith Hunter Jesperson a.k.a. “The Happy Face Killer”. In January of 1990, he would murder his first victim Taunja Bennett in Portland, Oregon. Her body would be discovered and then all of a sudden, with an anonymous tip to police by Laverne Pavlinac, things started to seem like they were coming together for the investigation. Laverne started with blaming her way younger boyfriend John Sosnovske and then after changing her story a few too many times, she ends up implicating herself. So…while Pavlinac and Sosnovske are dragging the investigation through the ringer for something they didn't even do, Keith is out wreaking havoc and would end up murdering even more women. Erika was back to drinking her Yellow Tail Chardonnay, so we know how that was.

Keith Hunter Jesperson was a disgusting bad man. He was a trucker in the 90s and he would kill prostitutes and he was just gross. He started writing letters to the press that he would sign off with happy faces, granting him the name "the happy face killer".

Listen to this week's episode as the hosts continue with a different side to the last case covered on the Podcast. Picking up where they left off, the hosts cover the case of serial killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson, or more infamously known as the 'Happy Face Killer'. Jesperson worked as a long haul truck driver, which made it easy for him to target his victims and get away with it. But, after years of getting away with murder, and after he was finally apprehended for his other crimes, Keith just couldn't handle someone else getting notoriety for his first crime which brought everything to light.
Keith nie miał łatwego dzieciństwa. Brak akceptacji ze strony rodziny i rówieśników oraz ojciec alkoholik odcisnęły na nim wielkie piętno. Musiał zapełnić pustkę, którą rosła w nim przez te wszystkie lata. Niestety lekarstwem na smutek okazały się nienawiść i żądza krwi, której nikt nie mógł opanować.
This week we're covering Keith Hunter Jesperson, known as the “Happy Face Killer.” Let's be clear we're unhappy about it! Although a similar sounding name his case should not be confused with the "Smiley Face Murders." Jesperson had a pretty rough childhood. In his young adult life we start to see some disturbing behavior that later escalate to very violent crimes. He eventually killed at least 8 women and dumped their bodies all over the Pacific Northwest - and even other parts of the country. His victims were even found as far away as Nebraska and Florida. This is a perplexing tale of abominable murders, wrongful convictions, and ominous confession letters signed with happy faces worthy of a lifetime movie… literally!

That is the problem and today we are going to discuss a case that let the obscurity of these long-haul drivers become a factor.
