Will New LISK Leadership Derail Rex Heuermann Investigation?

"Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski recently engaged retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer in an intense conversation about the disturbing profile of Rex Heuermann, a man believed to have evolved from a childhood victim of bullying to a violent adult criminal.   Coffindaffer shared, "It makes a lot of sense. There have been so many individuals who exercise control they've maybe been able to find in their life in this horrible, reckless, and evil manner." Brueski and Coffindaffer agreed that many individuals bullied in childhood often either grow up and use that as a strength or seek revenge. In Heuermann's case, it seems the latter was true.   The conversation turned to Heuermann's family, especially the surprising decision his wife and two adult children made to return to the "House of Horrors" following a police raid. As Coffindaffer noted, they had lived there since 1994, and due to monetary issues, including tax liens, they may have had no other choice. Brueski hypothesized that the family may have had little support due to their isolation by Heuermann during his "reign of terror."   "Heuermann's wife and children are truly victims, and their life is forever changed in such a negative and horrible way," Coffindaffer empathized. While the wife's nonchalant statement to reporters, "It is what it is", raised eyebrows, both hosts agreed that her life was upended, and she likely wasn't prepared for such media attention.   The conversation then shifted to the apparent loopholes in the system for victims of individuals like Heuermann. Brueski questioned the lack of safeguards for women who claim to have survived an encounter with Heuermann, particularly those in the sex industry. Coffindaffer acknowledged that while this profession is illegal, a mechanism should be in place for reporting dangerous clients, similar to the amnesty in many states for drug users seeking medical help.   Coffindaffer explained, "I do believe that there isn't any sort of crime they would be charged with if they went in and did such a reporting. I just don't think that they want to report." She suggested the idea of a hotline for sex workers to report suspicious activity without fear of legal repercussions.   Brueski added, "This seems like it's a ripe area for people like Rex to thrive in." Heuermann, a well-educated architect, was an example of a perpetrator hiding in plain sight. His choice of victims, often women who wouldn't be quickly missed, further illustrates the cruel tactics used by individuals like him to exploit society's vulnerabilities.   The chilling conversation revealed a grim picture of the social and systemic issues that allowed Heuermann to continue his reign of terror allegedly. The hosts concluded that prevention mechanisms must be improved to protect those most at risk from such predators. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski hosts a thought-provoking discussion with Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief. Their conversation centers around Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach killer. It delves into the intricate layers of Heuermann's crimes, the potential links to other unsolved murders, and the possible evidence yet to be unearthed.   Dreeke starts by considering that Heuermann could be tied to other unsolved serial murders across the country. Despite the growing evidence against Heuermann, Dreeke argues that it's essential to remain open to new developments in the case. He says, "I'm less focused... on the realm of 'Hey, what else can we tie him to?'". Dreeke predicts more victims may be discovered in other states and emphasizes the need to remain vigilant.   Given the magnitude of the investigation and Heuermann's suspected connections to other areas, the retired FBI agent expresses fear about what additional evidence might be discovered. "Recently, they went through in South Carolina and took a look at his avalanches that were on his brothers and his property acres and acres and acres. I'm scared to see what they're going to find there," he says.   Dreeke shares insights into Heuermann's pattern of crimes, indicating the suspect's high level of sophistication in disposing of bodies. He describes Heuermann's choice of remote, untraveled areas for body disposal and his tendency to choose victims who wouldn't be immediately missed. Dreeke hints that Heuermann's disturbing trademarks, such as missing shoes and strangulation, suggest sexual fetishes. He suggests law enforcement should map out where Heuermann lived and traveled and look for other potential victims with similar trademarks.   Regarding serial killers changing their style, Dreeke admits that he's unsure but suggests it might be possible. Using the example of the BTK killer, who managed to dampen his murderous tendencies with deviant behaviors, Dreeke theorizes that Heuermann might have used similar tactics. He mentions the Jersey case, where the killer targeted sex workers but did not necessarily murder them all. "I think what we'll probably uncover and probably see is that there's going to hopefully come out other witnesses and other people that have had interactions with him in a sexual context that he didn't murder," he says.   Brueski and Dreeke's conversation shines a light on the complexities of the investigation into Heuermann's alleged crimes. As more evidence surfaces and additional connections to unsolved murders are explored, it is clear that the true extent of Rex Heuermann's murderous reign may yet be revealed.
