How Connected Was James Burke to Rex Heuermann?

How Connected Was James Burke to Rex Heuermann?

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski delved deep into the murky waters of police corruption and unsolved crimes, specifically focusing on former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke. Brueski's special guest was Susan Constantine, a recognized body language expert and trial consultant. Their discussion centered on the halted progress in the case against Rex Heuermann and the involvement of James Burke.

Burke, who was already incarcerated for unrelated crimes and corruption, is now facing allegations of engaging with sex workers. Brueski raised an alarming concern, questioning the extent to which Burke’s tenure as the chief may have hindered investigations, particularly the Gilgo Beach killer case. Commenting on the hidden layers of crime networks, Constantine remarked, “You kind of wonder what is underground that we're not aware of. There's something bigger than what sometimes we see on the surface and there is police corruption."

Delving further into the clandestine nature of such cases, Constantine drew parallels with her experience as an expert consultant in the Jeffrey Epstein case. “When you think about just that whole underground thing there... there's a lot going on that I don't know that we all know everything," she shared, emphasizing that such cover-ups often have connections that extend beyond what meets the eye. The question that looms large is whether Burke’s alleged involvement with sex workers was a mere personal vice, or if it masked deeper connections and potential cover-ups, potentially involving Heuermann and other suspects linked to a spree of unsolved murders.

Drawing a parallel with the convoluted intricacies of the Jeffrey Epstein case, Brueski expressed the challenge of accepting the potential involvement of high-profile individuals in such clandestine affairs. "I think the same thing kind of goes for something like this where you have faith in your police chief, you have faith in the people who are supposed to be protecting and serving," he said, emphasizing the trust deficit that incidents like these create in the community.

Constantine emphasized the hidden layers of corruption that often go unnoticed. She stressed that certain individuals often position themselves strategically in high offices to exert control and influence. “The individuals that are in charge of those investigating... have strategically put themselves in high positions. So they can block it," she revealed.

One of the more unsettling revelations from Constantine alluded to a local case she’s privy to. “I have knowledge of a psychologist... that becomes the head of the department of Children and Families being the psychologist where everybody goes to for the courts approved as being the court-appointed," she disclosed. Such strategic placements allow these individuals to control narratives, evidence, and outcomes, ensuring their secrets remain buried.

Brueski and Constantine further theorized how individuals, like Rex in this situation, might strategize their moves. If one wanted to suppress information or control what comes out, they would likely position themselves in influential places, form connections with decision-makers, and ensure that every step taken by investigators or opponents has to go through them. It’s a haunting game of chess, with real lives at stake.

Towards the end of their conversation, both Brueski and Constantine expressed apprehension about the future findings in the case against Burke and his potential connections. The discussion painted a grim picture of the depths of corruption and how deep-seated networks can influence and control criminal investigations. With the lines between protectors and perpetrators increasingly blurred, one can only wonder: how many more hidden killers are lurking in the shadows?

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.
