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.

As the fallout in the aftermath of the arrest of Rex Heuermann continues to rain down on all of those involved, his wife, Asa Ellerup and her two children Victoria and Christopher gave an update through their lawyer about their ordeal. It was revealed that not only is Asa Ellerup dealing with her husband being an alleged serial killer, she also has breast and skin cancer. Her insurance, according to the lawyer, is due to expire in sixty days since it was tethered to Rex Heuermann's employment. On the flip side, the lawyer for the Gilbert family, John Ray had a completely different take on things. In this episodee we take a look at both sides of the coin and break down the latest news. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Rex Heuermann's wife struggling to pay for cancer treatment, wants to sue police – NBC New York
Summary of the Case and Victims:The discovery of Shannan Gilbert: The case came to light in May 2010 when 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert, an escort, disappeared in the Oak Beach area of Long Island. Her disappearance sparked an extensive search, and during that process, police discovered the remains of other bodies in the vicinity.The initial findings: In December 2010, the remains of four women were found along the remote stretch of Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach. All of them were wrapped in burlap sacks. These victims were later identified as:a. Maureen Brainard-Barnes (25): She had gone missing in July 2007. b. Melissa Barthelemy (24): She disappeared in July 2009. c. Amber Lynn Costello (27): She went missing in September 2010. d. Megan Waterman (22): She disappeared in June 2010.Additional victims: In April 2011, the remains of six more people were discovered along Ocean Parkway, including:a. Jessica Taylor (20): She had been missing since July 2003. b. Jane Doe #6: Unidentified victim. c. Jane Doe #7: Unidentified victim. d. Jane Doe #8: Unidentified victim.Disappearance of an escort: In March 2012, 22-year-old escort, Shannan Gilbert's remains were finally found in a marshy area near Oak Beach. Her death was ruled as an accidental drowning, but some believe she might have been connected to the killer.Other potential victims: The investigation also probed the possibility of additional victims connected to the Long Island Serial Killer. Among them was an unidentified Asian male found in Nassau County in 2000, and a dismembered female found in 1996 in Manorville, New York, which was also attributed to a potential serial killer.The doors of the investigation were blown open in July of 2023 when New York Architect Rex Heuermann was arrested and alleged to be the man responsible for the murders. As the investigation has rolled on and more has been learned, the scope of the investigation has expanded to several states. In this episode we get back to the conversation about Rex Heuermann and his possible activity in Las Vegas as we explore the story of Victoria Camara.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Eerie link between LISK suspect Rex Heuermann and NJ mom Victoria Camara's murder probed after 'scary' case similarities | The US Sun (the-sun.com)
The Long Island Serial Killings, also known as the Gilgo Beach Murders or the Craigslist Ripper case, is an unsolved serial murder investigation centered around the discovery of numerous human remains on Long Island, New York. The case has been ongoing since 2010 and remains unsolved as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.The initial discovery took place on December 11, 2010, when police were searching for a missing woman named Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had gone to meet a client in Oak Beach, Suffolk County. During the search, police found the remains of four women in the vicinity of Gilgo Beach. These victims were later identified as Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Lynn Costello, all of whom were also involved in sex work.As the investigation progressed, additional remains were discovered in the same area. In March and April 2011, six more sets of remains were found, along with the remains of an unidentified toddler, who came to be known as "Baby Doe" or "Jane Doe #6." The additional victims were identified as Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack, Jane Doe #6 (the toddler), and an Asian male dressed in women's clothing.The police discovered that many of the victims had connections to the sex trade and had advertised their services on websites like Craigslist. This led investigators to suspect that a serial killer, dubbed the "Long Island Serial Killer" or "Craigslist Ripper," was specifically targeting sex workers in the area.The case gained significant media attention and sparked a large-scale investigation involving local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.The search for additional evidence continued over the years, including the use of cadaver dogs, aerial searches, and the excavation of specific areas. Despite these efforts, no further bodies were found.The investigation faced various challenges and controversies. Shannan Gilbert's disappearance and death were initially treated as unrelated to the serial killings. However, her death was later attributed to accidental drowning.The mishandling of the case and the delayed response to her initial 911 call raised questions about the police's handling of the investigation.In September 2017, the Suffolk County Police released new evidence, including photos of a belt that they believed may have belonged to the killer. They also released a recording of an anonymous phone call made by a man claiming to have information about the murders. Then in July of 2023, everything changed as Rex Heuermann, an architect was arrested for the crimes.In this episode we hear from an escort who had a run in with Heuermann who says that she got bad vibes from him right away and that he loved talking about the Gilgo Beach murders. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonamil.comsource:Escort who dated Gilgo Beach suspected killer Rex Heuermann gives eerie details of nearly becoming one of his victims as he talked about murders like it 'was enjoyable for him' | Daily Mail Online

Rex Heuermann Gilgo Evidence Tour: Doll, Cage, DNA, and Hair Strategy, science, stakes—start to finish. With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we unpack the joinder ruling (seven counts, one jury), what the state gains, and where the defense will press “prejudice.” Then we walk the evidence story jurors are likely to hear: the search-warrant haul (yes, including the secret room, the large doll, the cage) and why seized items aren't guilt until they're tied to time, transfer, and corroboration. We dig into the science. Hair genome sequencing is “new to this courtroom,” not “new to the planet.” The defense will call it junk; the state will lean on validation and careful conclusions. We also talk family witnesses: could the daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take the stand? How those choices land with jurors matters as much as the words themselves. Finally, timing. Between discovery battles, expert disclosures, and potential added counts, 2027 is a practical horizon—not a scare tactic. Joinder gives prosecutors a narrative runway; landing the plane requires clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects the jury's patience and skepticism.

Now that James Burke has been arrested for a second time and Rex Heuermann has been named as the prime suspect in the Gilgo Beach murders, questions are starting to be asked about how that might fight into whatever strategy Heurmann's team is working on.

The Gilgo Beach murders refer to a string of killings uncovered in December 2010, when police searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert discovered multiple sets of human remains along a stretch of Ocean Parkway on Long Island, New York. Over time, investigators identified at least ten sets of remains, including four women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello—collectively known as the “Gilgo Four.” These women were sex workers who had advertised services online and were believed to have been targeted in similar ways. Their remains were all found within a quarter mile of each other, suggesting the work of a single serial killer.The case quickly grew more complex as other bodies were found in the vicinity, including those of men and a toddler, raising questions about whether multiple killers were involved. The murders became one of the most notorious unsolved cases in the U.S., plagued by investigative missteps, accusations of police corruption, and years of stagnation. In 2022, renewed investigative efforts using modern forensic techniques and cellphone data led authorities to Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was arrested in 2023 and charged with several of the murders. His arrest has provided long-awaited answers, but the full scope of the killings—and whether all the victims can be linked to one perpetrator—remains unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Burner phones played a crucial role in leading police to Rex Heuermann, as investigators were able to trace a network of disposable devices used to communicate with the victims and carry out the killings. Authorities discovered that the same anonymous numbers had been used to contact multiple women who were later found dead along Gilgo Beach. Through painstaking digital forensics, law enforcement linked these burner phones to a primary device associated with Heuermann, triangulating locations and tracking pings that matched his home in Massapequa Park and his Manhattan office. Additionally, investigators connected the burner activity to online accounts used to solicit sex workers and search for violent pornography, further tying the digital footprint back to Heuermann. The meticulous tracing of these otherwise untraceable phones ultimately helped build the foundation of the case against him.An unnamed woman has come forward claiming she narrowly escaped from suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann after a disturbing encounter when she was just 18 years old. Working at a Manhattan club in 1996, she says she was asked to deliver cocaine to Heuermann, but the situation quickly turned alarming. Once alone with him, she alleges that he exposed himself and began sharing deeply disturbing pedophilic fantasies. Fearing for her life, she pulled out a taser and held it to his neck, threatening him until he let her go. The woman never reported the incident to police at the time, fearing she wouldn't be believed, but after Heuermann's arrest, she recognized his face in news reports and felt compelled to speak out. Her account adds to the growing pattern of women describing deeply unsettling and predatory behavior by Heuermann long before his 2023 arrest.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Rex Heuermann, the architect that has been accused of murdering three women and is the prime suspect in a fourth murder was very careful about his DNA transfering to his victims, according to Matt Murphy, a former prosecutor who has tried many murder cases in his career. According to Murphy, he would not be surprised to find out as the investigation continues, that Rex Heuermann went to great lengths to try and avoid his DNA being found on the victims after their bodies were discovered.In this episode we hear how Matt Murphy thinks he accomplished this and how the investigators plan to use DNA to convict Heuermann.

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann's Family Take the Stand? “New to court” isn't “made up yesterday.” With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we translate the court-approved hair genome sequencing into plain English: what it shows, what it can't do, and how to explain it without turning jurors into lab techs. Expect the defense to yell “junk science”; expect prosecutors to answer with validation, protocols, and conservative takes that land. We walk the “household hair” tightrope—finding family hairs on burlap sacks is eye-catching, but transfer and secondary transfer are real. The job is to explain significance without implying guilt by osmosis. Then we talk about the witnesses closest to Rex Heuermann—could his daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take the stand? Immunity, exposure, credibility—how those choices look from the jury box matters. And yes, the calendar. Discovery fights, expert disclosures, possible added counts—2027 isn't dramatic; it's realistic. The joinder win gives the state runway. Landing the plane will take clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects juror skepticism.

Adelsons' Dark Holidays, D4VD's Body in the Trunk, Rex Heuermann's Trial Tightrope In this episode of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels, the conversation swings from lighthearted Halloween chatter into some of the darkest cases dominating headlines today. The show opens with pumpkins, pasta sauce, and a creepy animatronic doll that leaves Harper screaming — but the mood shifts quickly as the hosts turn their attention to the Adelson family. Once known for wealth and influence, the Adelsons now face prison cells, empty chairs at holiday tables, and children left in the middle of a murder-for-hire plot. What do the holidays look like for a family split between freedom and incarceration? And how does Jeff Lacasse's painful, raw testimony continue to shape public perception of Wendi Adelson and the damage she left behind? From Florida, the spotlight moves west to Hollywood. Rising star D4VD's career collapsed overnight after the decomposed body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered in the trunk of his Tesla. Tony is joined by defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to unpack the legal nightmare: ownership vs. possession of the vehicle, the disturbing revelation of matching tattoos, grooming allegations, missing-person timelines, and deleted social media trails that may point to destruction of evidence. Is this the fall of a star — or could someone in his inner circle be framing him? Finally, the team shifts to Long Island, where accused serial killer Rex Heuermann faces a consolidated mega-trial after a judge ruled that seven murder charges will be tried together. With groundbreaking DNA technology, victim dignity concerns, and family fallout all in play, the Gilgo Beach case has become one of the most complex trials in recent memory. Can Heuermann's ex-wife Asa Ellerup or even his daughter be called to testify? Can jurors truly remain impartial under this level of public scrutiny? And will new forensic science set precedent for murder prosecutions across the country? This episode blends sharp analysis, dark humor, and deep dives into three of the most haunting cases of our time — the Adelsons, D4VD, and Rex Heuermann — exposing not only the crimes, but the rippling human cost.

One Giant Trial: Rex Heuermann Faces 7 Gilgo Beach Murder Charges Together The Gilgo Beach case just changed forever. A judge ruled that seven murder charges against Rex Heuermann will be combined into one massive trial — a decision that could define justice for the victims and their families. Tony and Eric Faddis dissect what this means for the prosecution, the defense, and the jury. Does combining the cases give the state overwhelming power, or does it create unfair prejudice against the accused? How will jurors weigh a pattern of killings spread across decades? And what role will advanced DNA techniques play in sealing Heuermann's fate? This is more than a legal technicality — it's a move that reshapes one of the biggest serial killer cases in America.

Would their daughter take the stand? And what about documentary footage that could be subpoenaed, dragging private conversations into the courtroom? Tony and Eric unpack the risks of family testimony, the near-impossible task of seating an impartial jury in New York, and the emotional toll of putting loved ones under oath. With the public spotlight burning hot, the Gilgo Beach case isn't just about DNA and evidence bags — it's about families torn apart, jurors swayed by headlines, and the challenge of finding justice in a case everyone already thinks they know.

The Gilgo Beach murders refer to a string of killings uncovered in December 2010, when police searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert discovered multiple sets of human remains along a stretch of Ocean Parkway on Long Island, New York. Over time, investigators identified at least ten sets of remains, including four women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello—collectively known as the “Gilgo Four.” These women were sex workers who had advertised services online and were believed to have been targeted in similar ways. Their remains were all found within a quarter mile of each other, suggesting the work of a single serial killer.The case quickly grew more complex as other bodies were found in the vicinity, including those of men and a toddler, raising questions about whether multiple killers were involved. The murders became one of the most notorious unsolved cases in the U.S., plagued by investigative missteps, accusations of police corruption, and years of stagnation. In 2022, renewed investigative efforts using modern forensic techniques and cellphone data led authorities to Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was arrested in 2023 and charged with several of the murders. His arrest has provided long-awaited answers, but the full scope of the killings—and whether all the victims can be linked to one perpetrator—remains unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Keith Jesperson aka The Smiley Face Killer says that he and Rex Heuermann are pen pals and that Rex Heuermann has complained a whole lot about the food selection and how bored he is.

An organized serial killer is a type of serial killer who exhibits a high degree of planning, control, and premeditation when committing their crimes. Unlike disorganized serial killers, who tend to act impulsively and leave chaotic crime scenes, organized serial killers are methodical and strategic in their approach, making it challenging for law enforcement to apprehend them.Key characteristics of an organized serial killer include:Methodical planning: Organized serial killers carefully select their victims, often based on specific criteria such as appearance, occupation, or vulnerability. They may stalk potential victims to learn their routines and habits before carrying out the murders.Controlled crime scenes: These killers go to great lengths to minimize evidence left behind at the crime scenes. They may bring tools, restraints, or other items to help facilitate the killings and dispose of evidence thoroughly.High intelligence and social skills: Organized serial killers often have above-average intelligence and can be charming and manipulative. This enables them to gain the trust of their victims, making it easier for them to lure them into dangerous situations.Lack of remorse: Organized serial killers typically show little to no remorse for their actions and may even take pleasure in the suffering of their victims.Cooling-off periods: After each murder, organized serial killers usually experience a "cooling-off" period where they maintain a relatively normal appearance and behavior. This period allows them to avoid suspicion and plan their next attack without drawing attention to themselves.Often follow media coverage: Organized serial killers may closely follow news reports and police investigations related to their crimes, sometimes even involving themselves in the investigation to elude capture.Long-lasting crime sprees: Due to their calculated and organized nature, these killers may continue their crime sprees for extended periods before being caught or stopped.In this episode we take a trip back to 2011 and hear from Scott Bonn and several other experts who build a chlling profile of the LISK that proved to be incredibly accurate in the wake of the arrest of Rex Heuermann.

Their remains were all found within a quarter mile of each other, suggesting the work of a single serial killer.The case quickly grew more complex as other bodies were found in the vicinity, including those of men and a toddler, raising questions about whether multiple killers were involved. The murders became one of the most notorious unsolved cases in the U.S., plagued by investigative missteps, accusations of police corruption, and years of stagnation. In 2022, renewed investigative efforts using modern forensic techniques and cellphone data led authorities to Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was arrested in 2023 and charged with several of the murders. His arrest has provided long-awaited answers, but the full scope of the killings—and whether all the victims can be linked to one perpetrator—remains unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
