How Police Chief James Burke Aided In Covering Up Gilgo Beach Killer

How Police Chief James Burke Aided In Covering Up Gilgo Beach Killer

In a recent episode of the popular podcast "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski sat down with retired FBI Special Agent and daily contributor, Jennifer Coffindaffer, to dissect the chilling case of Rex Heuermann and the newly emerged implications surrounding former Police Chief James Burke.

Rex Heuermann, whose case has ensnared attention over recent times, is alleged to have solicited sex workers and subsequently murdered them. More shockingly, Police Chief James Burke was recently arrested on similar charges, with additional accusations pointing towards potential obstruction of investigations during his tenure.

Tony Brueski rightly pointed out, "It appears, it really didn't have to be a cold case for so long when there was apparently quite a bit of information and evidence that would've pointed them to Erman much earlier." Coffindaffer added, noting the overlooked evidence: "Even though we know back in that time mitochondrial DNA couldn't be used to make the links, there was so much other evidence there."

The most damning revelation was the history of Burke. "He was arrested after beating a junkie who broke into his truck and stole sex toys and pornographic items, and served over 40 months in federal prison for that," Coffindaffer recounted. This was followed by another recent arrest related to soliciting sex workers. Such a pattern of behavior, Coffindaffer hints, might have influenced Burke to "close down this investigation" to prevent his own sexual proclivities from coming to light.

A point of contention raised during the conversation was the decision of jurisdictions, like the one under Burke, to exclude the FBI from certain investigations. In response to Brueski's inquiry about this practice, Coffindaffer remarked that sometimes it is due to a lack of rapport between the local authority and the FBI. However, she emphasized, "yes, it is a red flag in my opinion."

Further discussion shed light on the power dynamics within police organizations. When questioned about Burke's ability to act unilaterally, Coffindaffer explained the quasi-military structure of these organizations, "when your boss says, go out in that intersection and stand on your head, the idea is that you do it without question." She continued, pointing to Burke’s authority: “So, no, the buck stopped with him.”

Brueski wrapped up the discussion by touching upon the potential legal repercussions facing Burke. Depending on the findings of the task force, should evidence of "willful ignorance" or cover-ups be found on Burke's part, Coffindaffer highlighted that "there's public corruption statutes and federal public corruption statutes" that could lead to legal consequences.

The revelation that someone in a position of authority, like Chief James Burke, may have been involved in nefarious activities, potentially obstructing justice or overlooking crucial evidence, paints a disturbing picture. This case serves as a potent reminder of the deep-seated issues in some law enforcement agencies and the pressing need for transparency and accountability.

As investigations continue and the task force delves deeper, many hope for a resolution not only in the Heuermann case but also in potentially overlooked cases that took place under Burke's administration. As Brueski concluded, with a hint of cautious optimism, it's a "very interesting new direction" in an already complex case.

How Was The Gilgo Beach Killer Created?

How Was The Gilgo Beach Killer Created?

The true nature of criminals and the workings of their mind have always been a topic of intrigue and concern. The podcast "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Laurie Gilbertson shed light on such heinous criminals, their behaviors, and the systems that deal with them. A recent episode discusses Rex Heuermann, who was meeting with a clergyman once a week while in jail. Gilbertson and Brueski debate whether this is a genuine act of seeking redemption or a strategy advised by an attorney to evoke pity. Gilbertson admits, “I have no idea what it means, and honestly, does it really matter? Maybe he needs someone to talk to. Maybe he has found God, maybe it is just a way of trying to get some sympathy.”    The podcast delves deeper into the mind of criminals like Heuermann, questioning how such individuals are created. Gilbertson recalls a case from her time in the Appeals Bureau, involving a psychopathic killer whose cruelty started with animals in his childhood. She draws a parallel with Heuermann, who targeted and tortured vulnerable individuals for his satisfaction. Gilbertson explains, “someone like Rex Heuermann took the weakest people that he could find and pretty much tortured them… obviously he got a lot out of it.” She further asserts that such tendencies do not suddenly develop in adulthood but are likely exhibited from childhood.    The conversation takes a darker turn as Brueski and Gilbertson discuss whether serial killers ever stop on their own or only halt due to external factors like death or incarceration. Gilbertson believes that being caught is the usual end for serial killers as the act of committing crimes and getting away with them is too enticing. She notes that Heuermann, despite being a successful architect with a family, continued his criminal activities because he was getting away with it every day. This constant pushing of boundaries and evasion of capture is a common pattern observed in serial killers. Gilbertson concludes, “It is rare that you see serial killers just decide to retire.”    This insightful discussion underscores the complexity of criminal minds and the challenges faced by the criminal justice system. It also highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of criminal behavior and its origins to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies.

How Many Mass Graves Is Rex Heuermann Hiding?

How Many Mass Graves Is Rex Heuermann Hiding?

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins host Tony Brueski to discuss the perplexing and deeply concerning case of Rex Heuermann, a suspect linked to a series of killings in Long Island, NY. Heuermann is currently at the center of investigations surrounding the Long Island Serial Killer, a case which the Suffolk County Police and former Chief James Burke have been accused of not investigating adequately, despite having significant information about Heuermann for over a decade.    During their conversation, Brueski and Coffindaffer explore the Suffolk County Police's reluctance to involve the FBI in the investigation, despite the magnitude of the case. Coffindaffer notes that pushing away resources and expertise from the FBI is a red flag, usually indicating a breakdown in the investigative philosophy or personal infighting between local authorities and the FBI. The pair discuss Heuermann's odd behavior, including hiring women who resembled his victims and sharing unsettling tales of bear hunting with his colleagues, which retrospectively seem to be a form of passive-aggressive taunting.    The discussion takes a darker turn as Coffindaffer raises the possibility that the authorities may have only uncovered one of Heuermann's 'mass graves.' Given the difficulty of searching the dense foliage in Long Island and the addictive nature of the alleged killer's behavior, she suggests there may be more undiscovered victims. "Taking alcohol away from an alcoholic that is not recovered yet or any other addiction. It's so difficult, and clearly, he was an addict for this type of behavior. He was a serial killer, allegedly. If, again, these crimes, if he's convicted of these crimes, a person like this, it's just so difficult for them to stop," Coffindaffer concluded.    The episode raises critical questions about the sufficiency of the investigation into the Long Island Serial Killer and casts a shadow of doubt over whether authorities have fully uncovered the extent of Heuermann's alleged crimes. With more people coming forward recounting odd or concerning encounters with Heuermann, it remains to be seen what the full scope of this harrowing case will reveal.    While Rex Heuermann has not been formally charged or convicted, the revelations shared by Brueski and Coffindaffer in this episode of "Hidden Killers" underline the importance of thoroughly investigating all leads in such grave matters, regardless of the challenges presented by interpersonal dynamics or geographical obstacles. The victims and their families deserve nothing less than a comprehensive and exhaustive search for the truth.    If you or someone you know has information related to this case, you are encouraged to contact the Suffolk County Police Department.
