Podcast appearances and mentions of rex heuermann

Rex Heuermann has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after admitting to the murders of eight women in the case known as the Gilgo Beach serial killings. In the quiet dunes along Long Island's Ocean Parkway, four missing women are discovered buried just feet from a road thousands drive every day. Mystery and Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil revisits the Gilgo Beach case through the victims' stories, the chilling clues, and the forensic trail that ultimately points toward a man no one suspected. This is a portrait of predation, power, and the devastating consequences of victims being overlooked until a hidden graveyard forces the truth into the open.This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.

Asa Ellerup was married to Rex Heuermann for twenty-seven years while he killed eight women. She filed for divorce after his arrest. But she kept visiting. She kept calling. And after he personally confessed to her — told her the number, told her seven happened in their basement — she went home and moved into the room where he said he did it.Then she told a documentary crew something about their phone calls that no one was prepared to hear. It was not a confrontation. It was not anger. It was a woman still managing a relationship on the other person's terms — thirty years in, eight confessions later, from the room where the evidence was found.The imprisoned Rex Heuermann cannot disappear. He calls on a schedule. He needs her. And for a woman who spent her life holding onto someone who was never fully there, that might be exactly what she wanted.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eight women. That's what Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to. Seventeen years of killing. But former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke has said the likelihood the number stopped at eight is “limited to none.” If Dreeke is right, there are families out there who don't know the Gilgo Beach case has anything to do with them — people whose loved ones disappeared and were never connected to Heuermann.The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit interview, built into the plea deal, may be the only way those names surface. The same interview program confirmed Samuel Little as the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history after he confessed to ninety-three murders in a dozen states. Many of Little's victims had been written off — deaths ruled overdoses or accidents, cases closed without answers. The interview reopened every one of them.Tony digs into why the FBI has been interviewing convicted killers since the 1970s and what the program has actually produced: a national crime database, a behavioral classification system used worldwide, and the recovery of remains that families had waited decades to bury. Gary Ridgway's six months of FBI interviews led investigators to four women whose families had never been able to lay them to rest.The criticism of the Heuermann interview is understandable — it gives a convicted killer attention. The FBI's fifty-year track record says the attention is a tool, not a reward. What it produces is the point. And what it might produce here is the answer to whether eight is the real number or just the floor.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann agreed to sit down with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He'll walk into that room thinking he controls the conversation — that he gets to decide what to share, what to hold back, and how to shape the story. Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke says Heuermann will “dribble and draft” the information, using it as currency. That's how these interviews always go.Except the FBI has something they've almost never had before. Prosecutors recovered a planning document from Heuermann's hard drive — a Word file he created, updated over years, and thought he'd erased. According to court filings, it contained eighty-seven specific details about how he prepared, killed, and disposed of evidence. His own written methodology, recovered from his own basement. When Heuermann talks, the FBI won't just be listening. They'll be checking.Tony traces the fifty-year history of the FBI's killer interview program from its origins with agents Ressler and Douglas through the thirty-six foundational interviews that built modern criminal profiling. He walks through the cases where cooperation produced results the evidence alone never could — Gary Ridgway leading investigators to four bodies, Samuel Little's ninety-three confessions solving cold cases across the country. The program works not because killers cooperate willingly, but because the FBI has spent decades learning how to turn their narcissism into something useful.Heuermann is the first digital-era serial killer the BAU has studied. The question isn't whether he'll try to lie. It's whether his own notes will let him.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann confessed to strangling eight women. He told his own daughter the victims were not real people to him. He described his motivation as demons. And on recorded phone calls from jail, Asa Ellerup's primary concern was making sure she did not say the wrong thing — not confronting him, not demanding answers, but managing his emotional comfort.For twenty-seven years, Asa's role in this relationship was to keep things smooth. To not push. To not ask the question that makes the room tense. The confession changed the subject matter. It did not change the role. She is still orienting her life around Rex's needs. And the reason she can't see how that reads to the rest of the world goes all the way back to a foundation that was fractured long before she met him.A psychological deep dive into the post-confession behavior of a woman who was built by someone else from the ground up — and the building is still standing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

After Rex Heuermann confessed to the Gilgo Beach murders, Asa Ellerup did not walk away. She visited him. She talked to him on the phone. She told cameras she wanted to understand “this other side of Rex.” And then she said something about their phone calls that reveals who is still running this relationship — even with Rex behind bars.The family therapist said for Asa, it was never denial. It was real. Whatever Rex told her became her operating reality. He built the world she lived in. And now that he's confessed, the world he built is still standing. New paint. New floors. Same foundation. The imprisoned Rex may be the first version of Rex that gives Asa what she has been trying to hold onto for thirty years.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases the audience has been living inside. The questions they've been asking for months. One conversation where Robin Dreeke, retired FBI behavioral analyst, answers every one of them.Nancy Guthrie has been missing for five months. A listener flagged a neighbor with a walk-in gem vault and a Google Maps pin that reportedly overlaps with Nancy's property. The wrong-house theory hasn't been publicly addressed by law enforcement. The masked suspect was inside the house for forty-five minutes with the camera disabled and the back doors propped open. Robin examines what that timeline and that preparation tell us about whether the target was Nancy — or someone else entirely.Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to eight murders. His ex-wife gutted the room where he confessed to killing seven women, redecorated it, and sleeps there. She told cameras it's spiritual. She's visited Rex twelve times since his confession. The Ellerup family reportedly collected seven figures from a documentary. Robin addresses the behavioral meaning of that kind of proximity and the legal gap that made the payout possible.Mackenzie Shirilla and her mother built a coded language to beat prison call monitoring. Prosecutors cracked it. Steve lost his teaching job. Natalie called the Russos evil. Mackenzie worried about her stuff. Robin addresses who is actually running this family's defense and whether Mackenzie can ever reach accountability with these parents in the picture.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann told his wife he killed eight women. Seven of those conversations reportedly happened in their own basement — the same basement where, according to prosecutors, he described the dismemberments in detail. Asa Ellerup filed for divorce, kept the house, tore out the floors, hung a cross on the wall, arranged stuffed animals on the shelves, and moved in. She sleeps there now. She has reportedly visited Rex in jail around twelve times since the confession. She told Peacock cameras she wants to understand his triggers.The audience wants to understand hers.Why does someone keep returning to a man who confessed to serial murder? Why does the family allegedly collect seven figures from a documentary deal while a victim's son — who was six years old when his mother was killed — files a lawsuit claiming they knew? Why does daughter Victoria say she believes her father most likely did it, while Asa maintains an active relationship with him?Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, takes every question head-on. He breaks down what loyalty after confession actually looks like in behavioral terms, where the boundary between trauma response and complicity starts to blur, and what the DNA evidence recovered from all seven victims tells him about how close someone had to be. Nothing speculative. Every answer grounded in the documented record, driven by the listeners who've been living in this case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Asa Ellerup told the Peacock cameras she has been sleeping in the basement room where Rex Heuermann confessed to killing seven women. She renovated it. New floors, new walls, a cross, stuffed animals. She calls it spiritual. She has visited Rex approximately twelve times since the confession. She says she wants to understand why he killed.The listeners want to understand something different. They want to know what kind of person moves into that room. They want to know why New York's Son of Sam law allowed the family to reportedly collect seven figures from a documentary while the families of the women Rex killed were never compensated. They want to know how Victoria Heuermann can say her father most likely did it while Asa keeps going back to visit him.Robin Dreeke, who ran the FBI's counterintelligence behavioral analysis program, joins Tony Brueski to address every one of those questions directly. He examines the psychology of loyalty after confession, what genuine processing looks like versus performed processing, and where the DNA evidence found on all seven victims' remains fits into the question of what the family knew. The audience brought the hardest questions. This is where they get answered.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The audience brought the questions. Robin Dreeke brought thirty years of FBI behavioral analysis. This is the conversation where those two things meet.Nancy Guthrie: a listener found a neighbor with a high-value gem vault — and Google Maps reportedly pins both properties at the same address. Five months after Nancy was allegedly abducted, the wrong-house theory is the loudest question the audience is asking. Robin walks through the behavioral profile of a mistaken-target operation and whether the forty-five-minute timeline inside the house supports it.Rex Heuermann: Asa Ellerup gutted the basement where Rex admitted to killing seven women. She redecorated it and moved in. She's visited him in jail twelve times since his confession. The family reportedly received seven figures from a Peacock documentary. The Son of Sam law doesn't cover family members. Robin examines what this kind of loyalty signals and where the behavioral line between denial and complicity gets tested.Mackenzie Shirilla: prosecutors decoded a private coded language that Mackenzie and her mother Natalie created to communicate on monitored prison lines. Steve Shirilla lost his teaching job after the Netflix documentary. Natalie called the Russo family evil on a recorded line. Robin addresses what the documented behavior tells us about who is actually directing the Shirilla defense — and whether Mackenzie can ever face accountability with this family around her.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Listener-driven. Evidence-grounded. Three cases the audience won't let go of — and the questions that cut through the noise.On Nancy Guthrie, the audience found something investigators haven't addressed: a neighbor with a vault full of gems and minerals, and a Google Maps pin that overlaps with Nancy's home. The wrong-house theory has been circulating for months. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI behavioral analyst, examines what a mistaken-target home invasion actually looks like and whether forty-five minutes inside the house fits that profile.On Rex Heuermann, Asa Ellerup told documentary cameras she moved into the basement room where Rex confessed to killing seven women — and that it's spiritual. She's visited him in jail a dozen times since his confession. The family reportedly took seven figures from Peacock. Robin addresses what the behavioral record tells us about loyalty, denial, and the gap in New York's Son of Sam law that made the payout legal.On Mackenzie Shirilla, prosecutors decoded a private language Mackenzie and Natalie created to evade prison monitoring. Steve lost his job after Netflix. Natalie called the Russo family evil. Mackenzie's first concern from jail was her belongings. Robin examines what the parent-child dynamic tells us about who built Mackenzie — and who's still running the show from the outside.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to eight murders. His ex-wife and children reportedly received over a million dollars from a Peacock documentary about the case. The families of the women he killed received nothing. New York has a Son of Sam law. It doesn't apply here — because the current version only covers the convicted person, not their family. Lawmakers have pushed to close that gap since 2023. The bills have not passed.That's one of the questions the audience brought. The others go deeper. Asa Ellerup gutted the basement where Rex admitted to dismembering seven women, redecorated it, and moved in. She told documentary cameras it was a spiritual gesture. She has continued visiting Rex in jail. Victoria Heuermann says she believes her father most likely did it. Same information, same household, completely different responses.Robin Dreeke spent decades analyzing human behavior for the FBI. He joins Tony Brueski to walk through the listener questions that hit hardest — from the kill room to the documentary money to the DNA evidence linking the household to all seven victims' remains. What does loyalty look like after a confession? What does denial look like when the evidence is sitting on the kitchen table? The audience asked. Robin answers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann sat across from Asa Ellerup and told her he killed eight women. Seven in their basement. He described the dismemberments. She filed for divorce to keep the house. Then she gutted the basement, put down new floors, hung a cross on the wall, arranged stuffed animals on the shelves, and moved in. She sleeps there. She has visited Rex in jail approximately twelve times since the confession. She told Peacock cameras she wants to understand his triggers.The audience has a simpler question: why?

Why does Victoria say she believes her father most likely did it while Asa maintains a relationship with him?Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, addresses each question directly. He walks through what loyalty after confession actually looks like in behavioral terms, where the line between trauma and complicity gets tested, and what the DNA evidence found on all seven victims tells us about proximity. Listener-driven. Every question grounded in the documented record.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann received consecutive life sentences for the murders of eight women he strangled over a seventeen-year span. The judge called him disgusting. Called him a coward. Told officers to get him out of the courtroom. Families cheered and chanted as he was led away.But one piece of testimony from that sentencing tells you more about who Heuermann is than the sentence itself. A family member of one of the victims described a phone call Heuermann made after the murder. It was not a threat. It was not a warning. It was something else entirely — and it reveals the kind of person the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit is about to spend hours sitting across from.Heuermann agreed to full cooperation with the BAU as part of his plea deal. He is required to be truthful and complete. He will describe how he chose them, how he killed them, how he hid in plain sight for nearly two decades. And former FBI agents believe the real number of victims goes well beyond eight. Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, walks through what that phone call tells investigators and what the BAU sessions may uncover.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann was sentenced to consecutive life terms after pleading guilty to murdering eight women over seventeen years. The judge became emotional, called Heuermann a coward, and ordered him removed from the courtroom as families cheered and chanted. Built into his plea deal: full cooperation with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. What a victim's family member told the court about a phone call Heuermann made after one of the killings is something investigators will be studying closely.Anna Kepner's accused killer, sixteen-year-old Timothy Hudson, is now behind bars after a federal judge reversed his own pretrial release decision. The judge described the evidence in language that is extraordinary for a pretrial ruling and cited sealed forensic evidence filed days before. Anna had reportedly told her parents she was afraid of her stepbrother before they ever stepped on the Carnival Horizon. She told them he had knives.Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four years old with no known cryptocurrency. A two-billion-dollar cybersecurity firm called her alleged abduction a wrench attack by proxy. If CertiK's classification is right, whoever showed up at Nancy's door that night may have been looking for someone else in the neighborhood entirely. One full conversation. Three cases.

Rex Heuermann strangled eight women over seventeen years. A judge handed him consecutive life sentences and told officers to get him out of the courtroom. The families of those women stood in that courtroom and addressed the man who destroyed their lives. One of them told the court about a phone call Heuermann made after the murder — a call that was not a confession.That phone call is at the center of this conversation. It tells you something about Heuermann that goes beyond the killings themselves. It tells you what kind of person the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit is about to sit across from when he begins the cooperation sessions required by his plea deal. He will be required to be truthful, accurate, and complete about everything he did. He will relive every detail. And every expert who has studied this case believes the FBI already knows something the public hasn't caught up to yet: eight is probably not the real number.Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, walks through the sentencing, the BAU cooperation, and what Heuermann's post-crime behavior reveals about what else he may have done.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann's sentencing closed one chapter and opened another. The judge handed down consecutive life terms, called him a coward, and ordered him removed from the courtroom. Heuermann's plea deal requires full cooperation with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He will describe everything — how he chose them, how he killed them, how he hid it. Former agents believe eight is not the final number. And testimony from one of the victims' families revealed something about Heuermann's behavior after the murders that the BAU will study closely.Anna Kepner's accused killer is now in federal custody. Timothy Hudson walked free for four months before the same judge reversed his own release. The detention order described the evidence in terms rarely seen in a pretrial ruling. Sealed forensic evidence was filed days before. And Anna had reportedly warned her family about Hudson before they boarded the Carnival Horizon together.Nancy Guthrie's alleged abduction was classified as a crypto crime by a two-billion-dollar cybersecurity firm. She has no known crypto holdings. The question at the center of this investigation: did whoever took her have the wrong address?

Melissa Barthelemy was twenty-four years old when Rex Heuermann strangled her to death. Her remains were found near Gilgo Beach on Long Island. And according to testimony delivered at Heuermann's sentencing, what Heuermann did after the murder may tell investigators more about him than the killing itself.Heuermann was sentenced to consecutive life terms. Judge Mazzei asked if he was even a little bit sorry. Called him a coward. Ordered him removed from the courtroom. The families chanted ogre as he was taken out. But before the sentence, Heuermann agreed to cooperate with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit as part of his plea deal — a deal that requires him to describe everything he did with total honesty.The hard truth is that Heuermann will enjoy every minute of those sessions. The attention. The expertise directed at understanding him. The FBI knows this. They are doing it anyway because fifty years of sitting across from killers has produced results the public rarely sees. Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, explains what the BAU expects to learn and why the families may not have heard the last of Rex Heuermann's crimes.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three of the most followed cases in the country moved at the same time. Rex Heuermann stood in a Suffolk County courtroom and heard the judge call him disgusting, despicable, and a coward before handing down the maximum sentence. His plea deal includes FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit cooperation — and a phone call he allegedly made to one of his victims' family members after the murder tells you what kind of person the FBI is about to sit across from.Timothy Hudson, the sixteen-year-old charged in Anna Kepner's death aboard a Carnival cruise ship, was ordered into federal custody after the judge who released him reversed his own decision. The language in the detention order goes far beyond standard pretrial concern. Sealed evidence was filed two days before. Anna's family had reportedly been warned about Hudson's behavior months before the cruise.And Nancy Guthrie — eighty-four, no known crypto — had her alleged abduction classified as a crypto-targeted crime by CertiK. If the attackers had the wrong address, the intended target may still be nearby.

Two Detroit sisters attacked a restaurant worker over an incorrect order, a Japanese tourist wrote a touching ode to free chips and salsa in the US, and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool now looks like the swamp Trump swore he was going to drain. Five men were arrested for planning an attack on the UFC Freedom 250 event, police killed a dog that was celebrating the Knicks win, and we have updates on the Anna Kepner murder story. The "Serial Squirter" was arrested again, Rex Heuermann was sentenced, and a Missouri man was sentenced to 291 years in prison for attacks on women. Carlos Mencia was arrested for tax evasion, a Texas woman is suing McDonald's over a deadly Sausage McMuffin, and a man was arrested for DUI with 34 empty White Claw cans in his front seat!

In this episode of True Crime News The Sidebar Podcast: Nicole Kazakov joins host Joshua Ritter to break down the biggest cases making headlines across the nation. They discuss Rex Heuermann's sentencing, George Pino's defense, and the federal arson trial of Jonathan Rinderknecht.

Rex Heuermann has now been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for the Gilgo Beach serial killings. After pleading guilty to seven murders and admitting responsibility for an eighth, the former Long Island architect stood in court as victims' families finally had the chance to speak directly about the pain, the waiting, and the years stolen from them. In this episode we'll look at Heuermann's sentencing from a victimology and criminal behavior perspective. This is not about giving the killer more attention. It's about remembering Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, and Karen Vergata. It's also about Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance helped expose what had been hidden along Ocean Parkway, and Asian Doe, who still deserves a name.We'll talk about the judge's words, Heuermann's brief statement, the importance of victim impact statements, and why the District Attorney's office must continue looking at other possible victim cases. Not because Heuermann needs more prison time. He's already going away forever. But because victims and families deserve the truth, even when the investigation is expensive, difficult, and unlikely to change the sentence.#RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #LongIslandSerialKiller #MelissaBarthelemy #MeganWaterman #AmberLynnCostello #MaureenBrainardBarnes #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostilla #ValerieMack #KarenVergata #ShannanGilbert #AsianDoe #GilgoFour #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #Victimology #CriminalBehavior #SerialKiller #BehavioralAnalysis #FBI #ColdCase #MissingPersons #UnidentifiedVictims #JusticeForVictims #CrimeScene #LongIslandCrime #PersonalSafety #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS========================================Get Aipas eBike at a discount: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

After decades of waiting, the victims of Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann finally faced him in a courtroom that became a space for grief, rage, and release. One by one, loved ones delivered searing victim impact statements—describing the lives stolen and the generational trauma left behind. Heuermann, largely expressionless, spoke briefly. In this episode, we focus on the emotional heart of the sentencing—from raw statements to the quiet devastation of children who grew up without their mothers—and what it meant to finally say these words, face-to-face.

We are back with a final update in the story of the Long Island Serial Killer (episodes #14-16 from 2016). Yesterday, on 17 June 2026, 62-year-old Rex Heuermann was sentenced to life in prison many times over for the deaths of eight women.If you would like to support this podcast and others, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

Property in South Carolina. A timeshare in Las Vegas. Investigators examining ties to Atlantic City. And women who disappeared near all of them.Rex Heuermann's Gilgo Beach sentencing closed the New York chapter — three consecutive life terms, a hundred years, no appeal. But the judge who handed down the sentence said five words that reopened everything: eight that we know of.Heuermann purchased four lots in Chester, South Carolina. Twenty miles from that property, a woman vanished. He bought a timeshare in Las Vegas. Two weeks later, an escort disappeared. The connections are timeline-based, not evidentiary. But timelines are how investigations begin, and some of those states have legal tools New York does not.South Carolina and Nevada both carry the death penalty for the crimes Heuermann committed. He pleaded guilty in the one jurisdiction where execution was off the table. His plea deal is limited to Suffolk County. It offers no protection in any other state.His digital footprint is enormous — a hundred and twenty terabytes, seven thousand pages, a recovered planning document. If that data contains evidence of crimes beyond Long Island, the legal framework for sharing it across state lines becomes critical.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what separates a suspicious timeline from a prosecutable case, whether the FBI interview built into the plea deal produces anything other states can use, and what incentive — if any — a man serving the maximum in New York has to tell the truth about what happened in South Carolina, Nevada, or anywhere else.Eight is the official number. The question is whether anyone is looking for nine.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The number is reportedly over a million dollars. That is what Asa Ellerup earned from a Peacock documentary about the Gilgo Beach case — her ex-husband's case. The case where he pleaded guilty to killing eight women.Now the families want the money back. And more.Valerie Mack's son has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging civil conspiracy. The suit names Asa Ellerup, her daughter Victoria, and Rex Heuermann. The accusation is not that Asa was oblivious. It is that she knew or deliberately avoided knowing what was happening and helped conceal it.Suffolk County prosecutors already cleared Asa criminally. They said she was not home during the killings. They called the hair found on victims household transference. They moved on. But the civil case does not require the same level of proof, and the evidence prosecutors set aside gets a second examination under a lower standard.Asa's own words are part of the case now. She told a documentary crew she did what she had to do to protect herself and her children. She renovated the basement where investigators believe seven women were killed. She lives there. Thirteen hundred square feet, twenty-seven years, and she says she never knew.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what the civil conspiracy allegation requires, whether the documentary money qualifies as unjust enrichment, and what happens if this lawsuit forces Asa Ellerup to sit for a deposition. Twenty-seven years of questions. Under oath. For the first time.The families got their sentencing. This lawsuit is about something else.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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?

It is on the record. Melissa Barthelemy's sister stood up in a Suffolk County courtroom during Rex Heuermann's sentencing and told the court he called her from Melissa's phone after he killed her — and described what he had done.The sentencing itself delivered what everyone expected: three consecutive life terms plus a hundred years, a judge who called Heuermann disgusting, families who cheered when officers removed him. But the legal details inside the plea agreement tell a different story than the one most outlets reported.Rex Heuermann confessed in open court to killing Karen Vergata. She was never part of the original charges. Her family was in the room when he said her name. No new charge was filed. His defense team had spent three years trying to throw out the DNA evidence and suppress the search warrants — then he waived his right to appeal as part of the deal.And the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit interview negotiated into the plea? The Suffolk County DA's office calls it academic. Not investigative. Eric Faddis sees it differently.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Faddis breaks down what happened inside that courtroom and what the plea deal's fine print reveals. He explains what Heuermann gained by giving up his appeal, why the Vergata confession exists without a charge, and whether the phone call testimony from Melissa's sister creates legal pathways nobody has discussed.The Gilgo Beach sentencing looked like a closing chapter. The plea agreement reads like an opening one.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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?

She answered the phone and heard the voice of the man who had just killed her sister. Melissa Barthelemy's sister told a Suffolk County courtroom that Rex Heuermann called her from Melissa's phone and described what he had done.That detail sat buried in the sentencing coverage. It should not have.Rex Heuermann's Gilgo Beach sentencing delivered the scene the families had waited for: three consecutive life sentences, a hundred years added on top, a judge who called him disgusting and ordered officers to remove him. But underneath the spectacle is a plea agreement with legal machinery most reporting never examined.Heuermann confessed in open court to killing Karen Vergata. No charge was filed. Her family watched it happen. His defense team fought for three years to suppress the DNA and throw out the warrants — then he surrendered his appeal in the same deal. And the FBI interview baked into the agreement? The district attorney's office insists it is academic, not investigative.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks apart the sentencing piece by piece. What did Heuermann receive in exchange for giving up the appeal his lawyers spent years protecting? What does the Karen Vergata confession mean when no one charged him? And the phone call — Melissa's sister's testimony is now part of the official record. Faddis explains what legal doors it opens and whether anyone walks through them.The courtroom gave the families a moment. The plea deal gave Heuermann something too.

The judge answered that question with five words: eight that we know of.Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to eight murders in Suffolk County. He is serving three consecutive life terms plus a hundred years with no right to appeal. By every legal measure, the Gilgo Beach case is over. But the judge who handed down the sentence made sure the courtroom understood he was not convinced the number was final.Heuermann purchased four lots in Chester, South Carolina. A woman disappeared twenty miles from that property. He bought a timeshare in Las Vegas. An escort vanished two weeks later. Investigators have examined connections to Atlantic City. The pattern — the same type of victim, the same geographic footprint expanding outward from Long Island — extends to states that can do something New York cannot.South Carolina and Nevada both have the death penalty. Heuermann pleaded guilty in the one state that does not. His plea deal is jurisdictionally limited to Suffolk County. If another state builds a case, they start from zero — and they have sentencing options New York never had.A hundred and twenty terabytes of data sit on drives investigators have been processing for years. A planning document Heuermann thought he had deleted was recovered. Seven thousand pages of records. If evidence of crimes in other jurisdictions exists in that data, the question becomes who has access and what they can use it for.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis explains what it takes to turn timelines and property records into charges, whether the FBI interview produces anything usable outside New York, and what the realistic odds are that another state actually builds a case.The number is eight. It may not stay there.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Over a million dollars. That is what Asa Ellerup reportedly earned from a Peacock documentary about her ex-husband — the man who pleaded guilty to killing eight women, seven of them inside the house they shared for twenty-seven years.The families of those women are suing her. Valerie Mack's son filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Asa, her daughter Victoria, and Rex Heuermann. The claim is civil conspiracy — not that Asa failed to notice what was happening, but that she actively concealed it. The Suffolk County DA's office cleared her in the criminal investigation. The civil case does not care.Asa's hair was found on victims. Prosecutors called it household transference and moved on. In a civil courtroom, where the standard is preponderance of evidence instead of beyond a reasonable doubt, that dismissal gets reexamined. Her own words on camera — “I did what I had to do to protect myself and my children” — become exhibits. Protect herself from what?She renovated the basement where the murders allegedly occurred. She sleeps in that basement. She did a documentary about her nightmares while the families were preparing a lawsuit.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether the lawsuit survives a motion to dismiss, what the lower civil standard means for the evidence the DA already rejected, and whether the real goal of this case is not a verdict — it is getting Asa Ellerup under oath for the first time.The criminal case is closed. The civil case is just beginning.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Not as much as you think.Rex Heuermann's sentencing delivered the version the families needed: three life terms, a hundred years, a judge who called him disgusting, officers removing him while the gallery cheered. But the plea agreement underneath that spectacle contains concessions, omissions, and open doors that most coverage never examined.He confessed in open court to killing Karen Vergata. No charge. Her family present. His defense team spent three years fighting to suppress the DNA evidence and then he gave up his appeal in the same deal. Melissa Barthelemy's sister testified that Heuermann called from Melissa's phone after the murder and described what he had done.Outside the courtroom, Asa Ellerup faces a wrongful death lawsuit alleging civil conspiracy. She reportedly collected over a million dollars from a documentary about the murders. She said on camera she protected herself. She renovated the basement. She lives there. Twenty-seven years, thirteen hundred square feet.Beyond New York, the judge said “eight that we know of.” Heuermann owns property in South Carolina and had timeshares in Las Vegas. Women disappeared near both locations. Both states have the death penalty. His New York deal is worthless there.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis works through all three layers: what the sentencing accomplished and what it traded away, whether the civil case against Asa survives its first hearing, and whether another state can realistically build a prosecution against a man who already confessed to eight murders in a state that cannot execute him.The plea deal protected Heuermann in Suffolk County. The question is what it left exposed everywhere else.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including Elon Musk amplifying a new independent report into Britain's grooming gang scandal, renewing calls for accountability after decades of institutional failures in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford, Oxford, and Oldham; questions surrounding the role of ethnicity, religion, and government agencies in handling organized child sexual exploitation cases; Hillary Clinton publicly blaming Joe Biden's decision to seek reelection in 2024 for the Democratic Party's defeat to Donald Trump after previously backing his campaign; and Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann receiving multiple life sentences after admitting responsibility for eight murders connected to the Gilgo Beach killings, bringing a measure of closure to victims' families after decades of unanswered questions, and much more.

Benjamin Torres was six years old when his mother Valerie Mack disappeared. Her partial remains were found the same year in Manorville. It took two decades to identify them. Rex Heuermann has now pleaded guilty to her murder.Torres has filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Heuermann, his ex-wife Asa Ellerup, and their daughter Victoria. The complaint alleges Asa and Victoria knew of or deliberately avoided learning about the killings, had access to a secured area in the basement of the Massapequa Park home, and collected over a million dollars from a Peacock documentary. Asa's attorney has denied any knowledge or involvement. Prosecutors have said the killings occurred when the family was not home.Asa has gutted and rebuilt the basement where Heuermann confessed to killing seven women. She moved into it. She told a documentary crew the nightmares come every night. She chose not to attend sentencing. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to discuss what it means when the families of those harmed are forced to share a legal stage with the family of the killer — and whether a brain can truly choose not to see something happening under the same roof.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Asa Ellerup filed for divorce from Rex Heuermann after his arrest. Then she kept visiting him. She showed up to court appearances. She participated in a Peacock documentary. She sat across from him in a supervised jailhouse visit and asked him directly how many women he killed. He said eight.From the outside that looks like a contradiction — you leave a person legally and then keep showing up. But psychotherapist Shavaun Scott says the contradiction is the point. The divorce protects the self. The visits protect the version of reality she built her entire adult life around. Both things can run at the same time inside someone who is trying to survive information that rewrites everything.Heuermann told Asa that seven of the eight murders happened in their basement while she and the kids were on vacation. Their daughter Victoria says she now believes he did it. Asa's own attorney says she may never get there. Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain how a person processes a confession that turns their marriage, their home, and their memories into evidence — and why leaving legally is sometimes the easy part.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Every woman Rex Heuermann killed was someone the system had already overlooked. Women whose disappearances did not generate search parties or news coverage or sustained pressure on investigators. He selected them and then he went home to a wife and children who thought he was a boring architect with a long commute.That is two realities held inside one person for seventeen years. He timed the killings for when his family was on vacation. He answered the judge with one-word responses and never looked at the courtroom gallery. His attorney said the plea brought him relief.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to discuss how someone draws a line between the people who count and the people who do not — and maintains that division long enough to kill eight women across nearly two decades without anyone in his daily life noticing a thing. Scott addresses what Heuermann's flat courtroom demeanor reveals, whether the family man persona was a mask or a genuine second self, and what the clinical literature says about the kind of person who experiences confession as relief.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to murdering eight women over seventeen years. His ex-wife sat across from him in a jailhouse visit and asked how many. He said the number without hesitating. His daughter told documentary producers she believes he most likely did it. His ex-wife still lives in the house — in the rebuilt basement where he told her the killings happened.This is the full three-part conversation between psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and Tony Brueski. Scott previously joined the show to discuss why people stay in relationships with dangerous partners. This picks up in new territory — what happens after the truth arrives and denial is no longer an option. How a brain sustains a double life for two decades. What the flat courtroom demeanor and the reported sense of relief mean. And what it looks like when someone's ex-wife renovates a kill room, moves into it, and tells a documentary crew the nightmares will never stop.For anyone who followed the Gilgo Beach case from the beginning, this conversation fills in the piece the courtroom was never designed to address.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She did. Asa Ellerup gutted the basement where Rex Heuermann confessed to killing seven women — new floor, new walls, new doors — and moved into it. She sleeps where investigators believe the killings happened. She told a documentary crew the nightmares are constant and permanent.She chose not to attend sentencing. Valerie Mack's son, who was six when his mother was killed, has filed a lawsuit alleging Asa and her daughter Victoria either knew about the crimes or deliberately avoided knowing — and profited from a Peacock documentary to the tune of over a million dollars. The neighborhood wants the house torn down. Strangers drive by and photograph it. Asa will not go.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott returns to Hidden Killers to talk with Tony Brueski about the psychological reality of choosing the crime scene as your home. What renovation and reclamation look like through a clinical lens. And what recovery means for someone whose house, marriage, and memories were all turned into evidence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
