"Do you know what I did to your sister?"Amanda Barthelemy was fifteen when she received that call. From her sister Melissa's phone. From a man who called seven times to taunt her about what he'd done to one of the Gilgo Four.Today we break down the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's hunting methodology—the burner phones, the victim selection, the taunting, and the cell tower evidence prosecutors say ties the Gilgo Beach Killer to every crime.The seven victims share a pattern. All sex workers. All petite. All advertised on Craigslist. All allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged LISK's family was out of town.According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was in a different location than burner phones used to contact the Gilgo Beach victims. The FBI traced calls to cell towers inside "the box"—a small area of Massapequa Park.Rex Heuermann's house was inside the box.Suffolk County court documents also allege fake email accounts under names like John Springfield and Thomas Hawk—used to create Tinder profiles and contact sex workers. Under one alias, according to prosecutors, "thousands of searches" were conducted for violent content.Even in 2022, investigators watched the alleged Long Island Serial Killer add money to burner phones. The alleged methodology never stopped.And the taunting allegedly continued beyond phone calls. Prosecutors say LISK searched obsessively for the Ocean Parkway investigation. For photos of victims. For photos of their families.DA Tierney: "His intent was specifically to locate these victims, to hunt them down, to bring them under his control, and to kill them."Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty.

July 2009. A fifteen-year-old girl answers her missing sister's phone. A man's voice asks: "Do you know what I did to your sister?"Amanda Barthelemy received seven calls over the following weeks. The man described what he'd done. On August 26, he said: "You won't see her again. I killed her."In Part 4 of our Gilgo Beach Killer series, we examine the alleged LISK hunting methodology—how prosecutors say the Long Island Serial Killer selected vulnerable women, contacted them via burner phones, and allegedly taunted families after the killings.The seven victims share a pattern. All sex workers. All petite—the planning document notes "small is good." All allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's family was away.According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was separate from burner phones when they were active. In 2012, the FBI traced calls to "the box"—a small area of Massapequa Park.Heuermann's house was inside the box.Suffolk County prosecutors also allege fake email accounts: John Springfield, Thomas Hawk, Andrew Roberts. Used to create dating profiles and contact women. Under one alias, "thousands of searches" were allegedly conducted for violent pornography and worse.Even in 2022, investigators watched the alleged Long Island Serial Killer add money to burner phones. The alleged methodology never stopped.DA Ray Tierney: "His intent was specifically to locate these victims, to hunt them down, to bring them under his control, and to kill them."Hunt. The word appears in the planning document prosecutors allege was found on LISK's hard drive. "Get sleep before hunt."Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty. The Gilgo Beach trial is September 2026.

Part 4 of 5: How prosecutors say the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer selected, contacted, and killed his victims along Long Island.July 2009. Amanda Barthelemy, fifteen years old, received a call from her missing sister's phone. A man's voice asked: "Do you know what I did to your sister?"Over the following weeks, the man called seven times. He described what he'd done. On August 26, he said: "You won't see her again. I killed her."In this episode, we examine the alleged LISK hunting pattern that prosecutors say links Rex Heuermann to seven Long Island murders over three decades.The Gilgo Four and other victims share characteristics. All were sex workers. All were petite—the planning document allegedly notes "small is good." All advertised on Craigslist. All were allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's family was traveling.According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was in a different location than burner phones used to contact the Gilgo Beach victims.

The Long Island Serial Killer's family is split. The trial is coming. And both women may be victims of the same alleged lie.In today's episode, we examine the Gilgo Beach Killer family fracture—why his ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls Rex her "hero" while daughter Victoria has publicly stated she believes he's "most likely" guilty of the Long Island murders.According to the Peacock documentary, Asa described Rex as her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. She said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date." Their divorce was finalized in March 2025—but she still refers to him as "my husband."Victoria's evolution was different. She acknowledged there were places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed as a child. She spoke with BTK's daughter about living in the aftermath. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about LISK.But here's what makes the Gilgo Beach case even more disturbing. According to court documents, female hairs found on multiple victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither woman is accused of involvement. Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly connected to murder victims they never knew existed. Their hair allegedly helped build the prosecution's case.The family unknowingly provided the evidence.They'll all be in the same courtroom in September 2026—one believing innocent, one believing guilty.Both are collateral damage in the Gilgo Beach case.Part 3 of 5.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when you've loved a monster? When the evidence piles up but your memory tells you something different about the Gilgo Beach Killer?In Part 3 of our LISK series, we examine the fracture inside the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's family. His ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely" the Gilgo Beach serial killer.Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different realities.According to court documents, every Gilgo Beach murder Heuermann is charged with allegedly occurred when his family was out of town. But the connection runs deeper. Female hairs found on victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither is accused of involvement—Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred.The women in the alleged LISK's life were allegedly linked to murder victims without knowing.Asa's attorney has suggested trauma bonding. In the documentary, she called Rex her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. Said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date."Victoria's path was different. She acknowledged places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed. Admitted her father missed family vacations during windows when murders allegedly occurred. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about the Long Island murders.The daughter saw. The wife cannot.BTK's daughter Kerri Rawson offered support: "Asa and her kids are also victims."The Gilgo Beach trial is September 2026.

Part 3 of 5: The family fracture that defines the Long Island Serial Killer case.Asa Ellerup was married to Rex Heuermann for nearly three decades. In the Peacock documentary, she called him her "hero" and said Suffolk County police have "the wrong man." Their daughter Victoria has reached the opposite conclusion—telling producers she believes her father is "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer."Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different realities about LISK.In this episode, we examine what the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's family saw and missed, why mother and daughter diverged, and what prosecutors say may have connected them to the alleged crimes without their knowledge.According to court documents, every murder Heuermann is charged with allegedly occurred when his family was out of town. Wife in Iceland, Maryland, New Jersey—each absence allegedly corresponded with a victim's disappearance along Ocean Parkway.But the connection runs deeper. Female hairs found on multiple victims' remains were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither is accused of involvement. Prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly linked to murder victims without knowing.Victoria spoke with Kerri Rawson, BTK's daughter, about what it means to have an alleged killer for a father. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about the Gilgo Beach murders.Asa still plans to attend every day of the LISK trial. Still calls Rex her husband.The trial is September 2026.

How does someone allegedly murder seven women over three decades while his family sees nothing but a devoted husband and father?Rex Heuermann was arrested July 13, 2023. Prosecutors call him LISK—the Long Island Serial Killer. His wife Asa calls him her "hero." His daughter Victoria says he's "most likely" the Gilgo Beach Killer.In this Hidden Killers deep dive, we examine the psychology that allegedly allowed the Gilgo Beach serial killer to operate undetected for thirty years. Forensic experts call it compartmentalization—the ability to separate contradicting aspects of life so completely that even spouses detect lies only fifty percent of the time.According to prosecutors, LISK didn't just compartmentalize. He allegedly engineered his double life. Every murder he's charged with occurred when his family was out of town. Wife in Iceland? Murder alleged. Wife in Maryland? Murder alleged. Cell phone records allegedly show his personal phone was always in the same location as burner phones used to contact victims.But here's the fracture that defines the Gilgo Beach case: Asa Ellerup still visits Heuermann in jail, still calls him her husband, still believes Suffolk County police have the wrong man. Her daughter Victoria has reached the opposite conclusion, telling documentary producers she believes her father is "most likely" responsible for the Ocean Parkway murders.Same twenty-seven years under the same roof. Two completely different realities.The LISK trial is set for September 2026. Judge Mazzei says it will happen "come hell or high water."This is Part 1 of our five-part series: The Architect of Horror.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part 1 of 5: How did Rex Heuermann—the man prosecutors call LISK—allegedly hide in plain sight for thirty years?This is the beginning of our comprehensive series examining the case against Rex Heuermann, the Manhattan architect charged with the Gilgo Beach murders. Seven victims between 1993 and 2010. Remains discovered along Ocean Parkway starting in December 2010. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges. His trial is set for September 2026.In this episode, we examine the psychology of compartmentalization—the phenomenon that allegedly allowed the Long Island Serial Killer to live as a family man while prosecutors say he was hunting victims whenever his wife and children were out of town.His ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero." In the Peacock documentary, she said: "I know what bad men are capable of doing. Not my husband. You have the wrong man."Their daughter Victoria has reached a different conclusion. According to documentary producers, she now believes her father is "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer."Forensic psychologist Scott Bonn explains that killers like BTK and the Green River Killer had "the ability to flip a switch and go from family man to sadistic killer." Former FBI agent Robin Dreeke suggests predators often select partners for traits that make them less likely to investigate red flags.According to Suffolk County prosecutors, every murder the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer is charged with occurred during windows when his family was traveling. Wife in Iceland, Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia—each absence allegedly corresponded with a victim's disappearance.Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different conclusions about who LISK really is.The mask, if prosecutors are right, didn't slip for three decades.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send a textMike Morgan is a 30 yr medically retired police officer veteran who worked for both the Atlanta & Suffolk County, NY PD's. Approximately 1 yr after retirement, Mike was watching a Shawn Ryan podcast episode featuring guest Eddie Penney, a former Navy SEAL when he realized that the feelings (Anger, rage, depression general unhappiness) he had been experiencing post retirement were some sort of PTSD that he had suffered during the course of his career. Mike knew he needed help but was unsure of what modality to utilize, but eventually settled on psychedelics.  After journeying with Ayahuasca in early March 2024, he transformed his life during the course of a weekend. He realized that his life's purpose was to go forth and help other first responder's/military veterans heal their PTSD and trauma issues. He started a podcast, The Resilient Warrior Nation to do just that, and has just completed a book, The Resilient Warrior, which is also heavily focused on childhood trauma that he believes, originally propelled him into policing as a career. Website: The Resilient Warrior NationFind The Suffering PodcastThe Suffering Podcast InstagramKevin Donaldson InstagramApple PodcastSpotifyYouTubeSupport the showThe Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram TikTok YouTube

Fire Island is the large center island of the outer barrier islands parallel to the South Shore of Long Island in the U.S. state of New York.In 2012, Hurricane Sandy once again divided Fire Island into two islands. Together, these two islands are about 31 miles (50 km) long and vary between 520 and 1,310 feet (160 and 400 m) wide. The land area of Fire Island is 9.6 square miles (24.9 km2).[1] The majority of the island's land is protected by Fire Island National Seashore which was created in 1964 in response to a protest movement against the construction of a highway through the island.[2] As of 2024, life for Fire Island visitors and residents was defined by restrictions on personal automobile use meant to preserve the island's unique character and ecosystems.[3]Fire Island is part of Suffolk County. It lies within the towns of Babylon, Islip, and Brookhaven, containing two villages and several hamlets. All parts of the island not within village limits are part of the Fire Island census-designated place (CDP), which had a permanent population of 777 at the 2020 census,[4] though that expands to thousands of residents and tourists during the summer. The neighborhoods of Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines are known as gay-friendly tourist destinations.[5]PICTURE: https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Fire-Island-National-Seashore-New-York-Badge-by-KrisSidDesigns/127091592.EJUG5

H.A. & Pagans Indicted While Black Outlaws Party — Open Biker TalkGood morning friends. Today on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're covering a wide range of developing stories that highlight just how broad the biker world really is — from indictments and court cases to awareness, accountability, and prevention.We begin in Canada, where Hells Angels clubhouse owners in Surrey are pushing back against allegations of illegal activity. The B.C. government is seeking to seize a property allegedly linked to criminal enterprise, while the owner insists they knew nothing of any wrongdoing. We'll talk about civil forfeiture, burden of proof, and how these cases are increasingly being handled.Next, we head stateside.A violent daytime melee on Sunrise Highway in Suffolk County involving Pagans MC and Hells Angels has left multiple victims with life-threatening injuries. Prosecutors say five men used weapons during the clash, and those men have now been indicted. We'll discuss what's been reported, what charges mean, and how public incidents change the legal landscape.From there, we shift continents.A deadly Chinese manjha (glass-coated kite string) incident caught on camera in Varanasi, India, shows a biker narrowly escaping death when the string catches his neck, leaving a severe shoulder injury. We'll talk about the dangers of manjha, why it continues to be a threat, and what riders worldwide should know.We'll also highlight a positive development:Bikers Against Predators strikes again. An Indiana group's investigation has led to the arrest of a Baxter County man charged with sexual solicitation of minors. We'll discuss how these groups operate, why they're controversial to some, and why they continue to get results.And finally, a reminder that danger isn't always criminal:A navigation app led a biker straight into a 15-foot open well, raising serious questions about over-reliance on GPS and rider awareness.No hype.No sugarcoating.Just real conversation.This is one of those shows where:• Indictments get unpacked• Enforcement tactics get examined• Safety issues get highlighted• And the set talks to the set Call in.

The Financial Chick - Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney!! 1-16-26 by JVC Broadcasting

Suffolk County Legislator Anthony Picarrillo LIVE on LI in the AM w/ Jay Oliver by JVC Broadcasting

In today's episode, we break down the stunning split narrative unfolding around the Gilgo Beach murders—one fueled by Netflix's Gone Girls, the other by Peacock's explosive new documentary The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. At the center of both? Asa Ellerup, the ex-wife of accused serial killer Rex Heuermann, whose reactions are raising eyebrows across the true crime world. After watching Gone Girls, Asa reportedly began wondering whether her former husband might be a fall guy—an extraordinary claim considering the decades of corruption inside Suffolk County law enforcement. From former Police Chief James Burke's violent cover-ups to DA Thomas Spota's obstruction charges, the county's history is messy enough to make anyone question official narratives. But in a dramatic turn, Peacock's documentary shows a different Asa—one calling Rex her “hero,” defending him emotionally, and describing prison visits as “first dates.” The family reportedly received substantial payment for their participation, raising ethical questions and potential legal consequences under proposed updates to New York's Son of Sam laws. We examine the forensic battle unfolding in court, including the high-stakes Frye hearing over whole genome sequencing—a cutting-edge DNA method prosecutors say ties hairs from victims to Heuermann or members of his household. The defense, meanwhile, argues the science is untested in New York and should be excluded. Add to that:  • Over 200 firearms found in a hidden vault  • Significant damage to the Heuermann home during searches  • The children's firsthand accounts of living with an accused killer  • Statements that could be used at trial This case now sits at the chaotic intersection of true crime media, family psychology, forensic science, and a justice system still trying to outrun its own corruption. And if Asa's reaction is any indication, the story is far from settled. #GilgoBeachMurders #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #TrueCrimeNews #LongIslandSerialKiller #HiddenKillers #DNAEvidence #DocumentaryAnalysis #JusticeSystem #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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.

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?

In this inspiring episode of Philanthropy in Phocus, Tommy D – the Nonprofit Sector Connector – sits down with his longtime friend Dr. Joy DeDonato, Executive Director for the Metro New York region of Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). Joy shares how a lifetime of service began with a simple feeling of wanting to help others, and evolved into more than two decades in the nonprofit sector focused on cancer support, education access, women's issues, and amplifying the voices of those who are too often unseen or unheard. She reflects on the powerful example set by her parents, who modeled service “before it had a title,” and how that foundation of love, grit, and doing the right thing has shaped her entire journey.Joy walks listeners through her professional path from Nassau Community College—first as a student, then staff member and later Executive Director of the college's foundation—to a decade at the American Cancer Society, and on to SUNY Stony Brook working on women's health and women's leadership. Throughout, she emphasizes the power of long-term relationships, showing how mentors, colleagues, and friends have stayed connected across roles, institutions, and life milestones. Joy also shares deeply personal stories of losing loved ones to cancer early in her career, and then, 20 years later, watching close family members with blood cancers move from “despair to hope to strength” thanks to advances in treatment—an evolution that called her back into the cancer space and ultimately to Blood Cancer United.Together, Tommy and Joy highlight the recent rebrand from Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to Blood Cancer United, designed to be more inclusive of all blood cancer patients and families. Joy outlines key initiatives including the Dare to Dream project for safer pediatric treatments, the Student Visionaries of the Year campaign, the emotional Light the Night walks, the Big Climb at Citi Field, and the Visionary of the Year competition that rallies leaders to raise critical funds. She also touches on her wider civic leadership as Vice Chair of Dress for Success Long Island and as a commissioner for both Human Rights and Women's Leadership in Suffolk County. Through humor, Golden Girls and Fraggle Rock references, and real talk about grit and service, this episode celebrates how one person's commitment to community, equity, and compassion can ripple out to transform countless lives.

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
