Mega Edition: The Great Basin Serial Killer (10/3/25)

Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, has been charged with the 2000 murder of Valerie Mack, marking his seventh alleged victim. Mack, a 24-year-old escort from Philadelphia, disappeared in 2000, and her dismembered remains were discovered in Manorville and near Gilgo Beach in 2000 and 2011, respectively. Investigators linked Heuermann to Mack's death through DNA evidence, including hairs from his family members found on her remains, and the discovery of violent pornographic images on his electronic devices that depicted injuries similar to those inflicted on MackDuring a court appearance, Heuermann pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges related to Mack's death. Prosecutors allege that Heuermann meticulously planned the murders, utilizing a document outlining methods and tools for the killings. This latest indictment adds to the multiple charges Heuermann faces for the murders of other women whose remains were found in the Gilgo Beach area. He has been held without bail since his arrest in July 2023, with his next court appearance scheduled for January 15.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gilgo suspect Rex Heuermann ‘used eerie work skills to plot Valerie Mack murder’ as trophies unearthed, expert claims – The US Sun | The US SunBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

​In the Bryan Kohberger murder case, 4th District Judge Steven Hippler has issued an order criticizing both defense attorneys and prosecutors for their excessive filing of sealed documents, stating that this practice has become "the norm rather than the exception." He emphasized that such actions undermine the public's First Amendment rights to access court proceedings and directed the parties to employ less restrictive measures to protect confidential information, such as redacting sensitive details or using initials instead of full names.Judge Hippler's directive comes as numerous motions have been filed under seal in the lead-up to Kohberger's trial, scheduled to begin on August 11, 2025. These sealed motions include the defense's request to remove the death penalty, citing Kohberger's autism spectrum disorder, and discussions on whether terms like "psychopath" or "sociopath" can be used during the trial. The judge's order mandates that any requests to seal documents must be justified under Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32, and parties should seek the least restrictive methods to protect sensitive information, thereby promoting greater transparency in the judicial process.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger judge cracks down on 'pervasive' filings under seal in Idaho murders | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Judge Steven Hippler issued an order lifting the gag order in the Bryan Kohberger case, stating that its original purpose—to protect Kohberger’s right to a fair trial—was no longer valid following his guilty plea. With no jury trial forthcoming, the judge determined that the restrictions on speech could no longer be justified. He emphasized that lifting the gag order did not force any party to speak but simply restored their First Amendment right to do so if they chose. The order acknowledged the public’s strong interest in transparency and access to information now that the criminal case had effectively moved past the trial phase.Despite objections from Kohberger’s defense, who argued that media attention could influence the sentencing phase, the judge made clear that such publicity was inevitable regardless of the gag order’s status. He dismissed the notion that continuing to silence participants would shield the process from public scrutiny. However, the judge declined to immediately unseal the more than 240 court filings that remain sealed in the case, saying he would review them individually after the upcoming sentencing hearing. The decision marks a shift toward greater openness in one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prosecutors reverse position on gag order after Kohberger murder confession | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Bill Barr’s deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein’s death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combined with his dismissal of alternative forensic perspectives, came off less like transparency and more like institutional damage control. Instead of holding the Bureau of Prisons accountable, Barr’s narrative positioned the failures as unfortunate but inconsequential, a stance that fails to satisfy the public demand for clarity.Just as troubling was Barr’s evasiveness when pressed about Donald Trump’s knowledge of Epstein. He admitted to having spoken with Trump about Epstein’s death but couldn’t recall when one of those conversations occurred—an astonishing lapse considering the gravity of the matter. His reasoning that “if there were more to it, it would have leaked” was not only flippant but dismissive of the very real history of suppression, obstruction, and selective disclosure that has defined the Epstein saga. By leaning on institutional trust in a case defined by betrayal of that very trust, Barr’s testimony did little more than reinforce suspicions that the Department of Justice has long been more concerned with containment than accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr-Transcript.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A bronze statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was recently placed on the National Mall, drawing widespread attention and debate. The installation, which many see as a provocative statement rather than traditional art, sparked both criticism and support. While some dismissed it as tasteless or political theater, others argued that it serves as a reminder of Epstein’s broader connections and the controversies surrounding him.Meanwhile, a special election in Arizona has gained significance in the ongoing push for transparency. The newly elected House member may play a key role in whether sealed Epstein-related files are made public, as the chamber remains closely divided. Supporters of disclosure believe this could be a step toward accountability, while opponents continue to cite concerns about privacy and security.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Sarah Ferguson’s attempt to justify her emails to Jeffrey Epstein by claiming they were done to “protect her daughters” is a transparent deflection that insults basic intelligence. Wrapping herself in the mantle of motherhood, she painted her ongoing contact with a convicted predator as some sort of maternal shield, when in reality it looked like the opposite — a willingness to lean on a disgraced figure for her own convenience while ignoring the wreckage he inflicted on other families. To invoke her children in this context reeks of spin, not sincerity, as though the mere mention of her role as a mother could excuse her proximity to a man whose entire world revolved around abusing minors.The defense collapses under its own hypocrisy. If “protecting children” was truly her priority, she would have cut Epstein off entirely, loudly and unequivocally, once his crimes were undeniable. Instead, she framed her communications as if she were nobly safeguarding her daughters, while simultaneously overlooking that Epstein’s empire existed to exploit the very age group she now claims she was shielding. The audacity of such a defense only compounds the disgust: she did not just fail to show moral clarity, she attempted to co-opt parenthood itself as cover for her poor judgment — a move that exposes the rot at the heart of her excuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sarah Ferguson claims she was trying to protect Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie when she sent apology email to Jeffrey Epstein 'as her children come first' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Donald Trump launched a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company Dow Jones, Rupert Murdoch, and other executives, accusing the outlet of falsely tying him to Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous 50th birthday book. The lawsuit claims the paper damaged Trump’s reputation by publishing a story that suggested he personally signed a crude and lewd birthday greeting in Epstein’s book back in 2003—something Trump flatly denies. Trump and his legal team argue that the WSJ deliberately pushed a false narrative for political and reputational harm, framing the report as part of a broader media effort to tarnish his image during his third run for the presidency.In response, the WSJ filed a motion to dismiss the case outright, contending that their reporting was factually accurate and legally protected. The paper argues that the letter referenced in their article matches the document released by Congress, making their reporting “substantially true.” They also stress that even if Trump did sign a bawdy note, such conduct would not be considered legally defamatory given his public persona and long history of controversial remarks. The Journal is asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, which would block Trump from re-filing it, and to order him to cover their legal fees. The court has already paused discovery proceedings—including Rupert Murdoch’s scheduled deposition—until the judge rules on the dismissal, underscoring the high-stakes battle over press freedom, defamation law, and Trump’s escalating war against media outlets.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:WSJ moves to dismiss Trump's $10B lawsuit over alleged letter in Epstein birthday book - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
