A multiple serial killer theory suggests the possibility that more than one individual is responsible for a series of murders that share certain patterns or characteristics. In cases where multiple victims have been killed in a similar manner, by the same means, or within a specific time frame, investigators might entertain the idea that more than one person is involved. This theory can emerge when there are variations in the victims' profiles, crime scenes, or methods of killing that suggest the work of different individuals.Key points of a multiple serial killer theory:Distinct Patterns: Instead of attributing all the murders to a single perpetrator, this theory posits that there could be multiple killers operating independently or collaboratively.Diverse Victimology: Different victims with varying characteristics, such as age, gender, socio-economic background, and lifestyle, might be linked to the same series of murders.Varying Methods: The murders may have been committed using different techniques or weapons, indicating the involvement of more than one person with different preferences or modus operandi.Geographic Variation: The locations of the crimes might be dispersed across a wide area, making it unlikely for a single individual to cover such ground, leading to the speculation of multiple perpetrators.Copycat Killings: In some instances, a well-publicized series of murders might inspire other individuals to commit similar crimes, thereby creating confusion as to whether a single or multiple killers are responsible.Complex Investigations: If law enforcement agencies entertain the multiple serial killer theory, investigations become more complex as they need to simultaneously track and analyze the activities of potentially different individuals.In this episode we explore the possiblity that there might be more than one killer responsible for the remains that have been found in and around Gilgo beach.(commercial at 15:37)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gilgo suspect Rex Heuermann's full body count may never be known & his Google searches point to two killers, expert says | The US Sun (the-sun.com)

Rex Heuermann is a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island. He operated a Manhattan-based architectural firm, RH Consultants & Associates, and had over 30 years of experience in the field. He was described by neighbors as a typical family man, living with his wife and two adult children in a seemingly tight-knit community.Heuermann was arrested on July 13, 2023, as the prime suspect in the Gilgo Beach murders, a series of killings that took place over a decade ago. He was initially charged with the murders of three women: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. These women, along with Maureen Brainard-Barnes, who Heuermann was later charged with murdering, are known as the "Gilgo Four"The "Gilgo Four" were all sex workers who disappeared at different times and whose bodies were found bound and wrapped in burlap along a quarter-mile stretch of Gilgo Beach between 2007 and 2010. The remains of these women were discovered in December 2010 during the search for another missing woman, Shannan Gilbert.Evidence and InvestigationAuthorities linked Heuermann to the murders through several pieces of evidence:DNA Evidence: A male hair found on Megan Waterman's body was matched to Heuermann through DNA analysis.Burner Phones: Heuermann allegedly used burner phones to contact the victims and to search for information about the case.Internet Search History: His internet history showed an obsession with the Gilgo Beach case, including searches related to the victims and the investigation​ Defense and Legal ProceedingsHeuermann's defense attorney, Michael Brown, has raised questions about the involvement of former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke in the investigation, alleging potential suppression of the FBI's involvement.Brown is also exploring the possibility of another suspect, a former police officer with the initials "W.H.," which matched initials found on a belt related to one of the victims​.Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence. The case is complex, with a vast amount of evidence to be reviewed, and a trial is still a long way from taking place.   Now, however, as more details are revealed, Rex Heuermann is about to be charged with two more murders.    Jessica Taylor And Valerie Mack. Let's dive in and get caught up!(commercial at 7:09)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann to be indicted for murdering TWO more women | Daily Mail Online

Prosecutors have tied Rex Heuermann to the Gilgo Beach murders through a combination of traditional and advanced DNA analysis. Investigators recovered hairs from belts, tape, and burlap connected to several victims. Though many were rootless and degraded, advanced genome sequencing techniques by Astrea Forensics identified profiles linked either directly to Heuermann or to his family members, strengthening the circumstantial chain. Separately, investigators matched Heuermann's cheek swab to DNA taken from pizza crust he discarded, which had already been tied to one of the victims, further solidifying the genetic link.The defense has countered by questioning the reliability of these cutting-edge methods, highlighting that whole-genome sequencing of degraded samples is relatively new and that forensic software interpreting the results has had bugs and required updates. They argue these techniques risk overstating statistical certainty. Despite the pushback, a New York judge ruled the evidence admissible, making this one of the first times advanced DNA sequencing of degraded forensic samples will be used in a high-profile New York criminal trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann's DNA links him to victim (nypost.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. However, no significant breakthroughs occurred following these releases.Now after more than a decade, a suspect has been arrested.

In this episode, we take a look at that search history and how it relates to another man convicted of being a serialk killer, John Bittrolff. John Bittrolff is an American serial killer who was convicted of the murders of two women in New York during the 1990s. He was born in 1966 and worked as a carpenter.Bittrolff's crimes went unsolved for many years until advances in DNA technology led to his arrest in 2014.In 2017, John Bittrolff was found guilty of the murders of two women, Rita Tangredi and Colleen McNamee, who were both sexually assaulted and killed in the early 1990s. The trial revealed that DNA evidence linked him to the crime scenes, leading to his conviction.Bittrolff was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for each murder, with the sentences running consecutively.Bittrolff's case gained attention due to the lengthy time between the murders and his arrest, as well as the use of DNA evidence to solve the cold cases. His conviction highlights the role of forensic technology in solving crimes that might have otherwise remained unresolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Convicted Murderer Was In Rex Heuermann's Google Sights: Court Docs | Massapequa, NY Patch

The DNA Breakthrough & What Comes Next Rex Heuermann's Burlap, Hair, and Pizza: The Forensic Breaks That Nailed the Gilgo Suspect After years of dead ends, the case against Rex Heuermann broke open with a slice of pizza. Surveillance teams tailing him in 2023 collected a discarded crust, extracting DNA that matched hairs found on the burlap sacks wrapped around the Gilgo Beach victims. Not just his hair—familial matches tied back to his wife and daughter, consistent with the chaotic, unclean hoarder house investigators uncovered. Forensic science has now caught up with cold cases. Whole-genome sequencing—a powerful new tool—can analyze even hairs without roots, building a near-complete profile. Defense lawyers fought to keep it out, calling it “untested.” But the court just ruled: it's in. Jurors may not understand the science, but they'll understand this: it's precise, it's definitive, and it ties Rex Heuermann to the crime scene. We dig into what that means: how genome sequencing strengthens forensic cases, why it will likely become the new courtroom standard, and why Rex's arguments about “new science” may backfire. And we ask: what about Asa? Did she know nothing, or was she so trauma-bonded and compartmentalized that denial became her survival? Her claim that “I still feel Rex is here” after the house raid shows a connection that goes beyond ordinary loyalty. From DNA on pizza crust to notes in the basement, the walls are closing in. The trial date hasn't been set, but with DNA admitted, the odds of Rex Heuermann ever walking free again are vanishing. This is the turn from cold case to courtroom reality—and it's decades in the making.

Donna Adelson's Collapse, Kohberger's Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann's DNA Bombshell The true crime headlines this week read like a three-act tragedy. We begin with Donna Adelson, who just spent her first weekend as a convicted murderer. Cameras caught her courtroom “collapse”—but was it really collapse, or the same manipulation tactic she's used her entire life? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to unpack why Donna's outward, audience-scanning “shock” didn't play, how fear and control ruled her family for decades, and why the jury likely returned so fast. We dive into the psychology of the “look” and the family trauma-bonding that made the Adelsons implode in plain sight. Then we pivot to Bryan Kohberger. Newly released photos from his apartment and office offer strange insight—a birthday card from his mom, a smiley face echoing on his office door, disorganized chaos clashing with his “OCD” diagnosis. But the real reveal? A drug code hidden in paperwork pointing to levothyroxine, a thyroid medication that, if mismanaged, can amplify agitation, obsession, and instability. Pair that with his autism, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID diagnoses, and you get a profile of someone rigid, fixated, and increasingly unmoored. These conditions explain quirks, not murder. The choice to kill was his alone—but the context is chilling. Finally, the Rex Heuermann case turns a corner. After years of silence, DNA is officially in. A discarded pizza crust tied him to hairs on burlap sacks that wrapped the Gilgo Beach victims. The science? Whole-genome sequencing—a new, court-admitted method that can pull profiles from even hair without roots. Defense cried “never used before.” The judge said, “there's always a first.” Now, the path to trial is clearer, and the odds of Rex walking away grow slimmer by the day. Three cases. Three collapsing facades. Donna, Bryan, Rex. Each revealing that control, denial, and obsession don't hold forever.

Rex Heuermann Gilgo Case Origins: First Bodies, Burlap Sacks & Police Cover-Up The Rex Heuermann case didn't start in 2023 with a DNA breakthrough—it goes back more than a decade to the chilling discoveries along Gilgo Beach. We rewind the timeline, from the 2010 search for missing Shannon Gilbert to the discovery of the “Gilgo Four,” all petite women who vanished after advertising on Craigslist. Wrapped in burlap, buried along the same stretch of beach, their bodies set off one of the most infamous cold cases in New York history. But it didn't stop there. As investigators kept digging, more remains turned up—including a toddler, an unidentified Asian male, and dismembered women, some dating back to 1996. Was this one killer or several? The case quickly spiraled into mystery. And then—silence. For over a decade, little progress was made. Why? Because Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke actively blocked the FBI from joining the case. When you've got burlap, DNA, and a dozen bodies but nothing moves forward, it begs the question: who's protecting who? Burke's later conviction for beating a suspect and his connections to a seedy underworld only deepen suspicions that corruption slowed justice and kept families waiting. Meanwhile, the victims—often sex workers—were denied resources and media attention, buried twice: once by the killer, and again by the system. This segment pulls the threads together: the bodies, the cover-up, the phone taunts to grieving families, and the institutional indifference that kept a predator free for years. It's the foundation of the case that now sits squarely on Rex Heuermann's shoulders, with DNA evidence poised to bring it into court.

Asa Ellerup Speaks: Why She Still Defends Rex in the Gilgo Beach Case What does it mean when a wife says that telling her husband “I love you” would hurt him? In a recent documentary, Asa Ellerup, wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, gave interviews that stunned audiences with her continued loyalty, denial, and outright disbelief. “He's a family man. He didn't do this,” she insists—even as evidence piles up. In this segment, we break down Asa's words, her courtroom reactions, and her refusal to see the mounting proof. Then we contrast that with the most chilling discovery from Rex's own basement: a typed “murder blueprint.” The document contained sectioned lists straight out of an engineering project plan: Problems: DNA, fingerprints, blood stains. Supplies: Rope (“heavy rope for neck”), saws, plastic drop cloths, acid and lye. Dump sites: GPS coordinates for multiple disposal locations. Targets: “Small women,” “remove tattoos,” “remove ID marks.” This wasn't random scribbling. It was methodical. It even included reminders like “get sleep before hunt” and “use pushpins to hang drop cloths.” Cold, calculated, and terrifying in its simplicity. We unpack what it means when someone needs a checklist for murder, why the rigidity points to an engineering brain, and how denial in a spouse can cross from blindness into complicity. Add in the neighbors and coworkers who described Rex as aggressive, unsettling, and Jekyll-and-Hyde, and you get the full picture: a man hiding behind a suburban façade, and a wife who still insists it's all a mistake. This is where the case stops being about “maybe” and starts staring us in the face. When you have lists that literally say “rope for neck,” how much more does it take?

Her claim that “I still feel Rex is here” after the house raid shows a connection that goes beyond ordinary loyalty. From DNA on pizza crust to notes in the basement, the walls are closing in. The trial date hasn't been set, but with DNA admitted, the odds of Rex Heuermann ever walking free again are vanishing. This is the turn from cold case to courtroom reality—and it's decades in the making.

Asa Ellerup Speaks: Why She Still Defends Rex in the Gilgo Beach Case What does it mean when a wife says that telling her husband “I love you” would hurt him? In a recent documentary, Asa Ellerup, wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, gave interviews that stunned audiences with her continued loyalty, denial, and outright disbelief. “He's a family man. He didn't do this,” she insists—even as evidence piles up. In this segment, we break down Asa's words, her courtroom reactions, and her refusal to see the mounting proof. Then we contrast that with the most chilling discovery from Rex's own basement: a typed “murder blueprint.” The document contained sectioned lists straight out of an engineering project plan: Problems: DNA, fingerprints, blood stains. Supplies: Rope (“heavy rope for neck”), saws, plastic drop cloths, acid and lye. Dump sites: GPS coordinates for multiple disposal locations. Targets: “Small women,” “remove tattoos,” “remove ID marks.” This wasn't random scribbling. It was methodical. It even included reminders like “get sleep before hunt” and “use pushpins to hang drop cloths.” Cold, calculated, and terrifying in its simplicity. We unpack what it means when someone needs a checklist for murder, why the rigidity points to an engineering brain, and how denial in a spouse can cross from blindness into complicity. Add in the neighbors and coworkers who described Rex as aggressive, unsettling, and Jekyll-and-Hyde, and you get the full picture: a man hiding behind a suburban façade, and a wife who still insists it's all a mistake. This is where the case stops being about “maybe” and starts staring us in the face. When you have lists that literally say “rope for neck,” how much more does it take?

Donna Adelson's Collapse, Kohberger's Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann's DNA Bombshell The true crime headlines this week read like a three-act tragedy. We begin with Donna Adelson, who just spent her first weekend as a convicted murderer. Cameras caught her courtroom “collapse”—but was it really collapse, or the same manipulation tactic she's used her entire life? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to unpack why Donna's outward, audience-scanning “shock” didn't play, how fear and control ruled her family for decades, and why the jury likely returned so fast. We dive into the psychology of the “look” and the family trauma-bonding that made the Adelsons implode in plain sight. Then we pivot to Bryan Kohberger. Newly released photos from his apartment and office offer strange insight—a birthday card from his mom, a smiley face echoing on his office door, disorganized chaos clashing with his “OCD” diagnosis. But the real reveal? A drug code hidden in paperwork pointing to levothyroxine, a thyroid medication that, if mismanaged, can amplify agitation, obsession, and instability. Pair that with his autism, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID diagnoses, and you get a profile of someone rigid, fixated, and increasingly unmoored. These conditions explain quirks, not murder. The choice to kill was his alone—but the context is chilling. Finally, the Rex Heuermann case turns a corner. After years of silence, DNA is officially in. A discarded pizza crust tied him to hairs on burlap sacks that wrapped the Gilgo Beach victims. The science? Whole-genome sequencing—a new, court-admitted method that can pull profiles from even hair without roots. Defense cried “never used before.” The judge said, “there's always a first.” Now, the path to trial is clearer, and the odds of Rex walking away grow slimmer by the day. Three cases. Three collapsing facades. Donna, Bryan, Rex. Each revealing that control, denial, and obsession don't hold forever.

Rex Heuermann Gilgo Case Origins: First Bodies, Burlap Sacks & Police Cover-Up The Rex Heuermann case didn't start in 2023 with a DNA breakthrough—it goes back more than a decade to the chilling discoveries along Gilgo Beach. We rewind the timeline, from the 2010 search for missing Shannon Gilbert to the discovery of the “Gilgo Four,” all petite women who vanished after advertising on Craigslist. Wrapped in burlap, buried along the same stretch of beach, their bodies set off one of the most infamous cold cases in New York history. But it didn't stop there. As investigators kept digging, more remains turned up—including a toddler, an unidentified Asian male, and dismembered women, some dating back to 1996. Was this one killer or several? The case quickly spiraled into mystery. And then—silence. For over a decade, little progress was made. Why? Because Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke actively blocked the FBI from joining the case. When you've got burlap, DNA, and a dozen bodies but nothing moves forward, it begs the question: who's protecting who? Burke's later conviction for beating a suspect and his connections to a seedy underworld only deepen suspicions that corruption slowed justice and kept families waiting. Meanwhile, the victims—often sex workers—were denied resources and media attention, buried twice: once by the killer, and again by the system. This segment pulls the threads together: the bodies, the cover-up, the phone taunts to grieving families, and the institutional indifference that kept a predator free for years. It's the foundation of the case that now sits squarely on Rex Heuermann's shoulders, with DNA evidence poised to bring it into court.

The DNA Breakthrough & What Comes Next Rex Heuermann's Burlap, Hair, and Pizza: The Forensic Breaks That Nailed the Gilgo Suspect After years of dead ends, the case against Rex Heuermann broke open with a slice of pizza. Surveillance teams tailing him in 2023 collected a discarded crust, extracting DNA that matched hairs found on the burlap sacks wrapped around the Gilgo Beach victims. Not just his hair—familial matches tied back to his wife and daughter, consistent with the chaotic, unclean hoarder house investigators uncovered. Forensic science has now caught up with cold cases. Whole-genome sequencing—a powerful new tool—can analyze even hairs without roots, building a near-complete profile. Defense lawyers fought to keep it out, calling it “untested.” But the court just ruled: it's in. Jurors may not understand the science, but they'll understand this: it's precise, it's definitive, and it ties Rex Heuermann to the crime scene. We dig into what that means: how genome sequencing strengthens forensic cases, why it will likely become the new courtroom standard, and why Rex's arguments about “new science” may backfire. And we ask: what about Asa? Did she know nothing, or was she so trauma-bonded and compartmentalized that denial became her survival? Her claim that “I still feel Rex is here” after the house raid shows a connection that goes beyond ordinary loyalty. From DNA on pizza crust to notes in the basement, the walls are closing in.

Rex Heuermann Gilgo Case Origins: First Bodies, Burlap Sacks & Police Cover-Up The Rex Heuermann case didn't start in 2023 with a DNA breakthrough—it goes back more than a decade to the chilling discoveries along Gilgo Beach. We rewind the timeline, from the 2010 search for missing Shannon Gilbert to the discovery of the “Gilgo Four,” all petite women who vanished after advertising on Craigslist. Wrapped in burlap, buried along the same stretch of beach, their bodies set off one of the most infamous cold cases in New York history. But it didn't stop there. As investigators kept digging, more remains turned up—including a toddler, an unidentified Asian male, and dismembered women, some dating back to 1996. Was this one killer or several? The case quickly spiraled into mystery. And then—silence. For over a decade, little progress was made. Why? Because Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke actively blocked the FBI from joining the case. When you've got burlap, DNA, and a dozen bodies but nothing moves forward, it begs the question: who's protecting who? Burke's later conviction for beating a suspect and his connections to a seedy underworld only deepen suspicions that corruption slowed justice and kept families waiting. Meanwhile, the victims—often sex workers—were denied resources and media attention, buried twice: once by the killer, and again by the system.

Donna Adelson's Collapse, Kohberger's Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann's DNA Bombshell The true crime headlines this week read like a three-act tragedy. We begin with Donna Adelson, who just spent her first weekend as a convicted murderer. Cameras caught her courtroom “collapse”—but was it really collapse, or the same manipulation tactic she's used her entire life? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to unpack why Donna's outward, audience-scanning “shock” didn't play, how fear and control ruled her family for decades, and why the jury likely returned so fast. We dive into the psychology of the “look” and the family trauma-bonding that made the Adelsons implode in plain sight. Then we pivot to Bryan Kohberger. Newly released photos from his apartment and office offer strange insight—a birthday card from his mom, a smiley face echoing on his office door, disorganized chaos clashing with his “OCD” diagnosis. But the real reveal? A drug code hidden in paperwork pointing to levothyroxine, a thyroid medication that, if mismanaged, can amplify agitation, obsession, and instability. Pair that with his autism, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID diagnoses, and you get a profile of someone rigid, fixated, and increasingly unmoored. These conditions explain quirks, not murder. The choice to kill was his alone—but the context is chilling. Finally, the Rex Heuermann case turns a corner. After years of silence, DNA is officially in. A discarded pizza crust tied him to hairs on burlap sacks that wrapped the Gilgo Beach victims. The science? Whole-genome sequencing—a new, court-admitted method that can pull profiles from even hair without roots. Defense cried “never used before.” The judge said, “there's always a first.” Now, the path to trial is clearer, and the odds of Rex walking away grow slimmer by the day. Three cases. Three collapsing facades. Donna, Bryan, Rex. Each revealing that control, denial, and obsession don't hold forever.

Defending a client in a murder case where the evidence, including DNA, overwhelmingly points to their guilt is highly challenging. However, a skilled lawyer might employ several strategies to provide the best possible defense.   So, what sort of strategy might be used by Rex Heuermann and his team at trial? Challenging the Evidence:Chain of Custody: The lawyer might question whether the evidence was properly handled from the crime scene to the courtroom, suggesting possible contamination or tampering.Forensic Procedures: They could scrutinize the methods used to collect and analyze the DNA evidence, aiming to find procedural errors that could undermine the reliability of the results.Alternative Theories:Third-Party Culpability: The defense might suggest that someone else had access to the crime scene and could have left the DNA, presenting alternative suspects.Consent or Innocent Transfer: If applicable, the lawyer might argue that the client's DNA was present due to consensual contact or innocent transfer, rather than through criminal activity.Questioning Witness Credibility:Inconsistencies: The lawyer could highlight inconsistencies in witness testimonies or point out any reasons witnesses might have to lie or misremember events.Bias and Motive: They might argue that witnesses are biased or have motives to falsely implicate the defendant.Psychological Defense:Mental Health: The lawyer could argue that the client was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the crime, which impaired their ability to understand their actions or differentiate between right and wrong.Diminished Capacity: They might claim that the client's mental state, though not exonerating them completely, should mitigate their culpability.Procedural Defenses:Violation of Rights: The defense could argue that the client's constitutional rights were violated during the investigation, such as through unlawful search and seizure, leading to the suppression of critical evidence.Coerced Confession: If there is a confession, the lawyer might contend it was obtained through coercion, making it inadmissible.Plea Bargaining:Reduced Charges: If the evidence is overwhelmingly against the client, the lawyer might negotiate a plea deal for lesser charges or a reduced sentence, arguing for mitigating factors like the client's lack of prior criminal history or remorse.Humanizing the Client:Character Witnesses: The defense might bring in witnesses to attest to the client's good character, arguing that the crime is out of character and presenting them in a sympathetic light.Background and Circumstances: They could present evidence about the client's background, upbringing, and circumstances that might have led to their involvement in the crime, seeking to evoke empathy from the jury.(commercial at 12:04)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Defending the Devil: Serial Killer Lawyers Speak Out on Gilgo Beach Murders - Newsweek

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.Then on July 13th, 2023 an arrest in the case was finally made. The man arrested? Rex Heuermann. In this episode, we hear from Dave Schaller, the man who gave the police the tip about who Heuermann was over a decade ago and even gave them a description of the vehicle the alleged serial killer was driving.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:He came face to face with an alleged serial killer. 12 years later, his tip helped crack the case | AP News

Law enforcement's theory about Rex Heuermann keeping his victims captive before killing them is based on the condition of the bodies of victims Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. Investigators believe Heuermann may have held the victims captive to prolong their suffering, as suggested by evidence of restraints, captivity tools, and other signs of prolonged torture found during searches of his properties. This theory is supported by his internet search history, which included searches for sadistic materials and evidence of "play time" or controlled environments designed for extended captivity. In this episode, we take a look at the chilling new theory and see where things currently stand.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonnmail.comsource:Rex Heuermann Update: Chilling New Details on Victims' Four Days Of Torture - Newsweek
