In Massachusetts, Brian Walshe comes face to face with his dead wife's lover in court. Prosecutors say the affair was Walshe's motive to kill his wife. Walshe says that's not true. Forty-three years ago in California, the body of Nancy Galvani was discovered floating under the San Mateo Bridge. For more than a decade, her daughter has suspected the killer was her own father. Last week, he was arrested. Updates in the cases of Luigi Mangione and the Gilgo Beach murders. Plus, NBC News legal analyst and defense attorney Danny Cevallos gives us the lowdown on juror misconduct. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For nearly three decades, Tanya Jackson was a nameless victim — known only as "Peaches" because of a tattoo on her chest. Her dismembered torso was found in 1997. Her arms, legs, and her two-year-old daughter's remains were discovered in 2011 during the Gilgo Beach investigation. Everyone assumed she belonged to the Long Island Serial Killer. Everyone was wrong. This week, police arrested Andrew Dykes, 66, in Florida — and charged him with murdering both Tanya Jackson and her daughter Tatiana. The twist that changes everything: Dykes is Tatiana's biological father. He allegedly killed his own child and the woman who was raising her, then scattered their bodies across Long Island in a pattern so similar to the Gilgo Beach killings that investigators spent years looking at the wrong suspect. Rex Heuermann faces trial for seven Gilgo Beach murders. But he didn't kill Tanya Jackson. He didn't kill Baby Doe. While the world focused on the architect with the kill lists, Andrew Dykes was living freely in Florida — even cooperating with police as recently as April 2025. This case exposes a hard truth: Gilgo Beach wasn't one killer's graveyard. It was a dumping ground for multiple predators. And the assumption that Peaches belonged to the serial killer let her real killer walk free for twenty-eight years. Tanya Jackson was a U.S. Army veteran from Alabama. She was 26. Her daughter was 2. They were never reported missing. They waited almost three decades for their names back — and for someone to finally answer for what was done to them.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're unpacking one of the most haunting psychological stories to emerge from the Gilgo Beach murders — the steadfast denial of Asa Ellerup, estranged wife of accused serial killer Rex Heuermann. Even as prosecutors present a mountain of evidence — DNA matches, hair fibers from family members found on victims, burner phones, and a detailed murder planning document — Asa still calls her husband her “hero.” She describes visiting him in jail as feeling like “a first date.” She smiles when she hears his voice. She insists their home — where police say the murders were plotted — could never be a crime scene. In this gripping psychological breakdown, retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to dissect how trauma, denial, and love can merge into something that looks like loyalty but is really self-preservation. Dreeke explains how 27 years of marriage built what he calls a “truth infrastructure” — a psychological foundation so powerful that admitting betrayal feels more dangerous than believing the lie. He unpacks the mechanics of trauma bonding, cognitive dissonance, and protective blindness, explaining how the human brain often rejects unbearable truth to preserve emotional stability. Dreeke also explores how financial stress, illness, and media exploitation may amplify Asa's denial — especially as she battles cancer, navigates public scrutiny, and faces criticism for participating in the Peacock documentary The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. Then, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony to analyze the most disturbing moments captured on camera — including Rex's recorded jail calls and Asa's telling body language. Why does she close her eyes when confronted with evidence? Why does she describe love as something that would “hurt him”? Scott reveals how guilt, dependency, and unresolved trauma often trap partners of predators in cycles of emotional paralysis. Together, Dreeke and Scott piece together a portrait not just of denial — but of the psychological collateral damage left behind when a family's reality is shattered by unimaginable truth.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're diving into one of the most disturbing intersections of true crime and psychology yet — the family of Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, and their shocking public defense of a man prosecutors call one of the most prolific murderers in modern history. In this powerful two-part special, Tony Brueski unpacks the emotional, psychological, and ethical fallout from Peacock's new documentary The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets — including Asa Ellerup's chilling confession that she still calls her accused killer husband her “hero.” Heuermann's family — wife Asa, daughter Victoria, and son Christopher — sit down for the first time on camera, describing their life before and after the 2023 arrest that turned their world upside down. Despite overwhelming forensic evidence — including DNA links, hair fibers from family members found on victims, and a manifesto allegedly detailing murder methods — Asa insists on her husband's innocence, calling prison visits their “first dates.” Tony Brueski explores how denial, trauma bonding, and cognitive dissonance shape these responses — and why victims' families are calling the documentary “a slap in the face.” Legal experts weigh in on the $1 million payday allegedly tied to the family's cooperation and how this could spark an expansion of New York's Son of Sam laws to block profiting from criminal notoriety. Then, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony to analyze how killers like Heuermann hide in plain sight — and how families miss the signs. Dreeke explains the “truth-default state,” why spouses detect lies only about half the time, and how suburban normalcy becomes the perfect camouflage for horror. The conversation delves into the terrifying psychology of compartmentalization, exploring how someone can live a double life so convincing that even their loved ones see only the mask. From Heuermann's alleged burner phones to his meticulous planning during family trips, it's a case study in deception — and the human mind's desperate need to believe what feels safe.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting the most disturbing, politically charged, and psychologically revealing chapter in the Gilgo Beach murder investigation — one that now includes the alleged discovery of Rex Heuermann's “manifesto.” In this explosive special, Tony Brueski unpacks two powerful narratives unfolding in parallel: the discovery of a chilling document allegedly authored by Heuermann detailing methods for serial murder, and the growing skepticism of his ex-wife Asa Ellerup, who's beginning to wonder if her former husband might be a pawn in a much darker story of corruption and cover-ups. Investigators reportedly found a meticulously written digital file on Heuermann's computer — a step-by-step “how-to” guide for abducting, killing, dismembering, and disposing of victims while avoiding forensic detection. The alleged instructions include forensic countermeasures that mirror the real-world evidence found across multiple crime scenes, including Manorville and Ocean Parkway, where the remains of victims like Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack were discovered. Prosecutors say this “manifesto” could become the smoking gun in proving premeditation, linking Heuermann to multiple unsolved murders, and showing a disturbing consciousness of guilt. But with a county marred by scandal — from former police chief James Burke's porn-and-violence scandal to DA Thomas Spota's obstruction conviction — the defense is asking: how much of this can be trusted? Enter Asa Ellerup. After watching Netflix's Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, she isn't pushing wild conspiracies — but she is questioning the system. Her legal team is raising alarms about Suffolk County's history of corruption, claiming it taints everything from the DNA evidence (derived through a contested “whole genome sequencing” technique) to the investigative integrity itself. Could a broken system be capable of building a monster to hide its own sins? Or is this simply the final unraveling of one of America's most terrifying suburban nightmares?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting one of the darkest and most complex cases in modern true crime — the alleged double life of Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer who managed to live a picture-perfect suburban existence while allegedly committing unthinkable crimes. In this gripping two-part special, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke unravel how Heuermann allegedly concealed a predatory world behind the mask of a mild-mannered architect. Dreeke dissects the psychological mechanics of deception — how a man can manipulate his own family into overlooking chaos, maintain the illusion of normalcy, and exploit society's indifference toward marginalized victims. How do you hide something this horrifying in plain sight? By preying on a culture that doesn't look too closely. The conversation dives deep into the psychology of incremental abnormality — how small behavioral shifts go unnoticed until the monster is fully formed. From the quiet control of his household to the alleged targeting of sex trafficking victims society ignored, Dreeke exposes the chilling behavioral blueprint of a man who thrived in the shadows of neglect. Then, the focus turns to Suffolk County's corruption problem — one that may have allowed this case to fester for over a decade. Enter James Burke, the disgraced former police chief whose own scandals — including beating a suspect over stolen porn and sex toys — helped derail the Gilgo investigation for years. With former DA Thomas Spota later indicted for obstruction and witness tampering, the question becomes unavoidable: Did law enforcement's rot give a serial killer room to operate? The episode also examines Asa Ellerup's new public comments following Netflix's Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer. Heuermann's ex-wife isn't pushing conspiracy theories — but she's asking questions. Could her husband be a fall guy for a broken system? With DNA evidence hinging on a controversial technique called whole genome sequencing, the courts now face a precedent-setting decision that could make or break the case.

In this gripping two-part special, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke unravel how Heuermann allegedly concealed a predatory world behind the mask of a mild-mannered architect. Dreeke dissects the psychological mechanics of deception — how a man can manipulate his own family into overlooking chaos, maintain the illusion of normalcy, and exploit society's indifference toward marginalized victims. How do you hide something this horrifying in plain sight? By preying on a culture that doesn't look too closely. The conversation dives deep into the psychology of incremental abnormality — how small behavioral shifts go unnoticed until the monster is fully formed. From the quiet control of his household to the alleged targeting of sex trafficking victims society ignored, Dreeke exposes the chilling behavioral blueprint of a man who thrived in the shadows of neglect. Then, the focus turns to Suffolk County's corruption problem — one that may have allowed this case to fester for over a decade. Enter James Burke, the disgraced former police chief whose own scandals — including beating a suspect over stolen porn and sex toys — helped derail the Gilgo investigation for years. With former DA Thomas Spota later indicted for obstruction and witness tampering, the question becomes unavoidable: Did law enforcement's rot give a serial killer room to operate? The episode also examines Asa Ellerup's new public comments following Netflix's Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer. Heuermann's ex-wife isn't pushing conspiracy theories — but she's asking questions. Could her husband be a fall guy for a broken system? With DNA evidence hinging on a controversial technique called whole genome sequencing, the courts now face a precedent-setting decision that could make or break the case.

When 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert vanished into the pitch-black marshland of Oak Beach in 2010, no one knew her disappearance would open a corridor of horror stretching miles along Long Island's desolate barrier islands. While police searched the reeds for one missing woman, cadaver dogs led them to something far worse—multiple bodies hidden in the dunes, placed where the darkness itself seemed to protect the killer. In this episode of Dark Outdoors, we travel deep into the windswept emptiness of Ocean Parkway, the cold marshes, and the shifting sands of Gilgo Beach. We explore how the terrain became the killer's camouflage and how the man now charged, Rex Heuermann, was once described by a key witness as an “ogre-like” figure stalking the night. Prosecutors say he nurtured a predatory mindset—seeing himself not just as a murderer, but as a hunter. From Shannan's haunting 911 call to the cadaver dogs who “heard the dead,” from the eerie witness descriptions to the final unraveling of a man who believed the wilderness would hide him forever, this is the story of a landscape that concealed unspeakable secrets… until the darkness turned on the predator himself. The wild can hide many things. But not forever.
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?

In a stunning twist in the Gilgo Beach serial killer saga, accused murderer Rex Heuermann has officially been cleared in the 1994 strangulation death of Colleen McNamee, a Long Island sex worker long believed to be one of his potential victims. For years, McNamee's name was quietly linked to the growing list of women found murdered across Suffolk County — a list that defined Heuermann as the face of one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history. But a new DNA analysis just ended that speculation for good. The Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that Heuermann's genetic profile did not match the “Unknown Male A” found on McNamee's remains. Instead, the DNA points back toward convicted killer John Bittrolff, a carpenter already serving 50 years to life for two nearly identical murders. Ironically, it was Bittrolff himself who pushed for the test — hoping it would shift blame to Heuermann. It did the opposite. This development doesn't exonerate Heuermann from the seven brutal killings he's charged with — victims Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. Their DNA trails, cell records, and forensic links remain strong. But it does sharpen the boundaries of truth: what's proven, what's not, and how modern forensic science continues to rewrite the Gilgo Beach narrative. In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the case that looked like it belonged to Rex Heuermann — and why it never did. From forensic breakthroughs to the psychology of blame, we explore how one killer tried to hide behind another, and how DNA once again cut through the myth to reveal the facts. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #TrueCrime #ColleenMcNamee #DNAEvidence #JohnBittrolff #LongIslandMurders #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Gilgo Beach murders shocked the nation. The arrest of Rex Heuermann — the quiet Long Island architect accused of being a serial killer — was supposed to bring answers. Instead, it's brought more questions. Two years later, there's still no trial date. Why? Because behind the headlines, the justice system is waging a silent war. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the real reasons justice has stalled. Prosecutors are relying on cutting-edge DNA pulled from rootless hairs — a first for New York courts. Defense attorneys call it “junk science.” The judge allowed it, but that ruling unleashed months of follow-up litigation: new motions, new hearings, new expert reports. Every microscopic detail is being challenged to make sure the case can survive appeal. Then there's the consolidation — seven murders, one trial. That decision means every chain of custody, every test, every autopsy from 1993 to 2010 has to hold up together. Add old phone records, outdated forensics, and a DA's office desperate to restore its credibility, and you get one of the most complicated homicide prosecutions in modern history. This isn't justice delayed. It's justice under construction — a slow, grinding fight between science, law, and time itself. Tony Brueski breaks down the psychology, the strategy, and the human toll of a case that refuses to move fast. Why is the state taking its time? What's happening behind the scenes? And what happens if the science fails? Watch now to understand why the waiting matters. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #DNAEvidence #JusticeDelayed #TonyBrueski #CrimePodcast #SerialKillerCase #ForensicScience Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tony Brueski breaks down the psychology, the strategy, and the human toll of a case that refuses to move fast. Why is the state taking its time? What's happening behind the scenes? And what happens if the science fails?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Gilgo Beach murders shocked the nation. The arrest of Rex Heuermann — the quiet Long Island architect accused of being a serial killer — was supposed to bring answers. Instead, it's brought more questions. Two years later, there's still no trial date. Why? Because behind the headlines, the justice system is waging a silent war. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into the real reasons justice has stalled. Prosecutors are relying on cutting-edge DNA pulled from rootless hairs — a first for New York courts. Defense attorneys call it “junk science.” The judge allowed it, but that ruling unleashed months of follow-up litigation: new motions, new hearings, new expert reports. Every microscopic detail is being challenged to make sure the case can survive appeal. Then there's the consolidation — seven murders, one trial. That decision means every chain of custody, every test, every autopsy from 1993 to 2010 has to hold up together.

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?

Peaches ////// 877Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.comWhile law enforcement continues to connect crimes and still more victims to the infamous Long Island Serial Killer investigation we decided to take a look at one of the more recent developments in this ongoing saga. In July of 2023 a family man and architect named Rex Heuermann was arrested in connection with three murders tied to the Long Island Serial Killer case or L.I.S.K. for short. Those names and a few others were given to a series of unsolved homicides where the bodies and remains of several young women, a male, and a toddler were discovered in and around Long Island, New York. It is undetermined at this time if all of the murders were committed by the same killer or killers. Since the arrest of Heuermann, investigators have continued to make progress. Heuermann was charged with four additional murders and we now know the identities of two of the victims - Peaches/ Jane Doe #3 & Baby Doe.For more information on these cases, including victim information and a timeline about the case go to www.GilgoCase.com Beer of the Week - Peach Hefeweizen by Southern Tier Brewing Company Garage Grade - 3 and 3 quarter bottle caps out of 5 More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.

Inside the defense of Florida grandmother Donna Adelson. In Long Island, a judge's ruling on DNA ahead of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann's, murder trial. Plus, almost 21 years after her daughter was murdered, a mother hits the road to bring awareness to the unsolved case.
As new victims emerge and trial strategies clash, Dr. Phil explores the lasting trauma, evolving M.O., and dark psychology behind the Gilgo Beach murders. The bodies were just the beginning. In Part 3 of the Gilgo Beach investigation, Dr. Phil dives deeper into the mind of the alleged killer and the ripples of destruction still unfolding. A decades-old cold case. Graphic crime scene notes. A daughter's dark art. A mother murdered by her own child. This isn't fiction it's what's surfaced since Rex Heuermann's arrest. Dr. Phil unpacks the psychological rituals of serial killers, from their obsession with control to the twisted fantasy rehearsals that fuel their crimes. Why do their methods evolve? How do they evade capture for decades? And what scars are left behind for the families—both of the victims and the accused? This episode also revisits Shannan Gilbert, the woman whose 911 call started it all, and the tragic murder of her mother, Mary, who fought tirelessly for justice before becoming a victim herself.
