The Sad, Lonely Life Of Rex Heuermann Behind Bars

The Sad, Lonely Life Of Rex Heuermann Behind Bars

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski spoke with Detective Jason Howe about the ongoing case surrounding the Gilgo Beach Killer, where fingers are pointed towards Rex Heuermann.    Currently, Heuermann is isolated in a high-security housing unit, where he partakes in all activities, from eating to recreation, alone. Such treatment, though typical of high-profile cases, raises a pertinent question: would a more relaxed confinement strategy allow Heuermann to inadvertently volunteer information?    "Well, I can tell you from experience that we monitor quite a bit of jail and prison communications. It's a very useful tool in some criminal investigations," remarked Detective Howe. However, he highlighted the need for the balance of security and the mental well-being of the inmates. Being locked down for 23 hours daily with limited social interaction can be mentally taxing.    While Heuermann's solitary confinement may seem severe, it's based on the primary objective of ensuring his safety. Still, there are glimpses of interaction. For instance, Heuermann has been granted limited religious services. A representative from the Roman Catholic Church was allowed to see him, though it's not clear if a confession transpired during their conversation.    This brings about another challenging dimension to the discussion: how monitored are interactions between inmates and priests? In most standard scenarios, conversations, especially confessions, with religious figures remain confidential. However, the lines get blurred within the prison walls.    "And absolutely there is some contact there for religious reasons and that wouldn't be monitored necessarily. There is some kind of privilege there when it comes to confession," Detective Howe explained. Such privileges, akin to attorney-client privileges, signify that if Heuermann were to confess to a crime during such a religious interaction, the priest isn't obliged to disclose it. In some states, the only exception is if the confession relates to child abuse.    Brueski further probed, "But would a priest, is it up to the priest to decide whether or not they want to share that information?" Howe replied, "By any means he could share the information that he heard, but he would probably run afoul of the church and find himself in some predicament there." This means that while legally, a priest might be able to come forward with such information, doing so could have significant ramifications for their standing within the church.    Essentially, while the privileges of confession are designed to protect sensitive information, they also present a unique challenge within the criminal justice system. Especially in a case as high profile as the Gilgo Beach Killer, where every shred of information is vital.    The discourse between Brueski and Detective Howe offers a comprehensive look into the complexities of the criminal justice system, especially when it intersects with other societal institutions like the church. As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen if such interactions will play any role in the overall investigation.    The bigger picture, however, remains. While Rex Heuermann's confinement is typical of high-profile suspects, the delicate balance between security, mental well-being, and the potential for extracting information is a dance the authorities must navigate carefully. It's a situation that underscores the intricacies of the justice system, especially when pursuing the truth behind some of its most challenging cases. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Is It A Good Idea For Rex Heuermann To Be OFF Suicide Watch?

Is It A Good Idea For Rex Heuermann To Be OFF Suicide Watch?

The recent episode of the popular "Hidden Killers" podcast brought to light the complex matter of suicide watch in jails, specifically focusing on the case of Rex Heuermann. Tony Brueski, the show's host, dives deep into the topic with psychologist Dr. John Delatorre.   Rex Heuermann's case has drawn attention due to the recent decision to take him off suicide watch. Tony questioned the wisdom behind this move, considering the potentially damning circumstances around Heuermann, wondering aloud if "he may be someone who would want to end it."   Delatorre shared the complexity behind such decisions, explaining, “The problem with the suicide watch is that it's too taxing on the resources of the facility.” He further elaborated that while Heuermann needs monitoring, he doesn’t necessarily need the stringent conditions of suicide watch.   When asked about the specific conditions and protocols surrounding suicide watch, Delatorre detailed, “When someone's on suicide watch, not only are there more frequent looks at his cell... they're also put in a smock.” This vest-like smock, often seen in crime-related documentaries, is primarily designed to prevent self-harm.   As the conversation progressed, Brueski sought clarity on how decisions are made regarding an inmate's placement on or removal from suicide watch. Delatorre explained that usually a "medical doctor" is responsible for such decisions, in consultation with the facility's main security officers.   The episode also touched upon the lack of family visits for Heuermann, and the attempts of public members, likely true crime enthusiasts, to interact with him. Such visits were, however, declined by Heuermann, indicating his reluctance or perhaps his understanding of the gravity of his situation.   In a turn to the collateral damage from crime investigations, the podcast also discussed claims made by Heuermann’s family against law enforcement concerning a raid on their home. They reported damaged beds, destroyed drain pipes, and general disorder, speculating on the possibility of their home being a hoarder house prior to the raid.   In answering Brueski’s query about the family's potential case against law enforcement, Delatorre commented, "I think a lot of that's gonna depend on what the warrant says.” He elaborated on the intricacies of warrants and probable cause statements, suggesting that if officers overstepped their permissions, the family could potentially have a legal argument.   However, the foundation of any such case will lie in the specifics of the warrant, Delatorre noted. If the warrant was broad, allowing officers to search any part of the home, the family's claims might not hold much weight. However, if it was restrictive, only allowing for a search of particular rooms or areas, the family might have grounds for a case.   The episode paints a vivid picture of the complexities surrounding criminal investigations, the treatment of those accused, and the potential collateral damage to their families. Both Brueski and Delatorre effectively highlight the balance between the rights of the accused, the safety of the community, and the efficient operation of law enforcement agencies.

52: Former FBI Robin Dreeke On Why Police Haven't Questioned Heuermann's Wife

52: Former FBI Robin Dreeke On Why Police Haven't Questioned Heuermann's Wife

Recent revelations surrounding the Rex Heuermann case have left many perplexed, especially after the sudden removal of the suspect from suicide watch. On the latest episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski seeks insight from retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke.   Rex Heuermann, an older individual facing mounting evidence against him, had recently been taken off suicide watch, sparking a flurry of questions from the public. Addressing the issue, Brueski asked, "Is this a good idea to take someone like that off of a suicide watch or is it really very stressful on resources to really keep somebody on there for a long period of time?"   Dreeke responded by emphasizing the surprising nature of Heuermann's initial placement on suicide watch. "So let's look at serial killers. One of the driving motivations of them is sensationalism fantasy seeking, and since they all edge up high in psychopathy, they're about grandiosity and notoriety," he stated. Serial killers, according to Dreeke, are not typically inclined towards self-harm due to their desire for attention and recognition.   But with Heuermann, it appears that nothing is simple. As Dreeke mentioned, "It's gonna be interesting because, you know, I listened to his lawyer speak earlier today and it was interesting because he, the lawyer seems as convinced as he can be that Rex is innocent." Further complicating matters is the shocking discovery of Heuermann's wife's hair on three of the alleged victims' bodies.   "It's a very hard one to explain away," Dreeke noted. There's been significant debate about whether this evidence necessarily ties Heuermann's wife to the crimes. "It's interesting, especially given that her DNA, because of the hair, was found with the bodies," remarked Dreeke. However, as of the recording, law enforcement had not interviewed the wife, which has only intensified public speculation.   Brueski probed further, asking why law enforcement hadn't sought a conversation with Heuermann's wife, given the circumstances. "You would think if her DNA was found with the deceased bodies that she would at least be interviewed early," Dreeke responded.   Surprisingly, Dreeke suggested that there might be a strategic reason behind law enforcement's choice to avoid an immediate interview. "There's gotta be a reason and a strategy that they're not interviewing her or haven't interviewed yet," Dreeke mused. He also mentioned her undergoing cancer treatment, indicating that health concerns might be a factor in the decision.   Despite the uncertainties surrounding the Heuermann case, one thing is clear: the public's desire for answers remains unsatisfied. With Heuermann's wife set to appear on a news segment soon, many are hopeful that some clarity will finally emerge.   As Dreeke aptly summed up the current state of the investigation: "It'll be interesting because I think she's going on the news coming up. And so I think we'll probably learn more about what she says on TV than we do from law enforcement, maybe."   With many questions still unanswered, the public can only wait and see how the Rex Heuermann case unfolds, hoping for justice to be served for all involved.

How Many DNA Links Are There To Rex Heuermann?

How Many DNA Links Are There To Rex Heuermann?

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski, Detective Jason Howe discussed the mounting case against Rex Heuermann. Heuermann, suspected in a series of gruesome murders, is under investigation, and the revelations could have far-reaching implications for numerous cold cases.    The Las Vegas Police Department's DNA lab is presently conducting a direct comparison between Heuermann's DNA and samples recovered from a murdered New Jersey woman. Detective Howe stated, "results expected six to eight weeks down the road but could likely open the floodgates for at least four other unsolved murders in Las Vegas."    The crucial question arises: Is this comparison merely standard protocol or is there a stronger lead linking Heuermann to these other murders? Howe hinted at a bit of both. While due diligence remains vital in a criminal investigation, there are systems like VIA cap, or the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program, that identify similarities between cases. "It's quite possible that people can travel freely and commit crimes in other jurisdictions," he added.    The case presents several intriguing challenges. Notably, there's an almost decade-long gap between the last known victim in 2011 and the present day. The detective mused on the motive behind the suspect's actions: "I would just, you know, question what caused him to stop. If he is, you know, responsible for these murders, what caused him to stop?"    Another layer of complexity is the collaboration between different jurisdictions. These cases span across various states, each with its procedures, rules, and personnel. Thankfully, forensic evidence databases, such as CODIS, are national and can assist in matching DNA efficiently. Yet when it comes to eyewitness accounts, detectives need to sift through records and collaborate closely with other agencies.    The Heuermann family, notably his wife and children, have yet to be questioned by the police. Brueski remarked on this oversight, "It strikes me as rather odd that this far into a case, someone who's accused of this heinous of crimes that there has not been a sit down with the wife and a sit down with the kids." Detective Howe conceded that interviewing the family could provide essential insights into Heuermann's methods and behaviors.    As to why this hasn't happened yet, Howe mentioned the sheer magnitude of the ongoing investigation, which includes tracking countless leads, such as identifying similar vehicles. However, he emphasized the potential benefits of interviewing Heuermann's wife: "The fact that she wasn't present when these murders allegedly happened...she could be helpful."    Brueski further probed the idea of law enforcement surveilling the suspect's close contacts rather than directly interrogating them. To this, Howe mentioned the tricky balance between building a strong case and ensuring public safety, especially when the suspect might be a serial offender.    He highlighted the dilemma with an example from his experience, where they had to surveil a suspect for an out-of-state murder while waiting for a warrant. "You know, they could have had a team... trailing them, following 'em around collecting the partially eating pizza and to secure the evidence they needed to obtain a warrant," he elaborated.    While the story of Rex Heuermann continues to unravel, it stands as a poignant reminder of the intricate web law enforcement has to navigate. Balancing between public safety, due diligence, and the quest for justice, every piece of evidence can be a step closer to solving haunting cold cases. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

If Heuermann Confessed To Priest, Could It Be Used Against Him?

If Heuermann Confessed To Priest, Could It Be Used Against Him?

In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski dove into the circumstances surrounding Rex Heuermann's current imprisonment. Brueski, alongside former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis, scrutinized the isolation conditions Heuermann faces and the legal implications of his recent religious engagements.    Heuermann, still awaiting trial for a high-profile case in which he's accused of committing multiple murders, remains confined to his cell. He experiences solitude even during recreation time and doesn't have the privilege of communicating with fellow inmates. While this might seem extreme, such precautions are typical for individuals implicated in crimes of this magnitude.    "Authorities are taking precautions here," Faddis stated, "He could be a target. He's alleged to have done horrible things, including killing vulnerable, innocent victims."    Brueski questioned the necessity of this rigorous seclusion, particularly since Heuermann hasn't yet been pronounced guilty. The overarching theme was clear: prison politics. As Faddis elaborated, internal dynamics in incarceration facilities can lead to targeted violence against notorious individuals, implying that Heuermann's isolation is a protective measure.    "There's a whole political system inside...you can score points by attacking someone who seems unpopular and unsympathetic," Faddis noted.    Brueski later broached the subject of Heuermann's recent request for religious services, revealing that a member of the Roman Catholic Church had seen him, though their title remains unspecified. This interaction brings forth a significant legal query: Can information confessed to a priest be utilized in prosecuting the prisoner?    In response, Faddis emphasized that the answer to this intricate question differs across jurisdictions. "Many jurisdictions have...a privilege between the priest and the person giving a confession," he explained. The underlying rationale behind such a privilege is the age-old belief in ensuring individuals can confess sins without fear of their revelations being used against them.    But, as Faddis was quick to point out, there are exceptions. He likened the privilege to the attorney-client confidentiality dynamic, though he stressed that its application can vary widely. For instance, the federal system might handle this privilege differently than individual states.    Brueski probed further, asking whether a priest if approached, could be compelled to reveal what Rex confided. Faddis responded by citing the federal system's general rule of privilege, which allows clergy to refuse disclosure of any confidential communication made by a person seeking spiritual guidance.    In a landscape filled with questions and uncertainties surrounding the Rex Heuermann case, the recent revelations on "Hidden Killers" add yet another layer of complexity. Whether Heuermann's isolation is genuinely in his best interest, and how the legal system navigates religious privileges in high-profile cases, will surely continue to spark debate and interest.    As the episode wrapped up, one point became clear: In cases as high-profile as Heuermann's, every move, every decision, and every interaction can have lasting implications.

52: Will Heuermann Talk? Ret FBI Coffindaffer Weighs In

52: Will Heuermann Talk? Ret FBI Coffindaffer Weighs In

As the investigation deepens, the case against Rex Heuerman, the alleged Long Island Serial Killer also dubbed the Gilgo Beach Killer, unveils new complexities. In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski engaged in a riveting discussion with former FBI Special Agent and contributor Jennifer Coffindaffer, unveiling some intricate aspects of the case.   Rex Heuerman's name is not only tied to a murder case but possibly four others. Key among the ongoing processes is the direct DNA comparison of Heuerman against Victoria Camera, a murdered New Jersey mom. "Well, if you'll recall, they just got the motion granted to collect his DNA through swabbing," shared Coffindaffer, illustrating the complex process of DNA profiling.   The conversation addressed the significant legal barrier that New York State has concerning DNA testing and storage. The state prohibits DNA entry into CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) until after a conviction. Coffindaffer opined, "The chief said it very clearly, he said, just because I can't put it in CODIS doesn't mean I can't compare it to other known possible victims."   An interesting point raised was the potential of entering Heuerman's DNA into CODIS if a match were made in another state, given the varying state laws. "I think certainly if there's a match, It could be. By that state rule and law," commented Coffindaffer, indicating the potential complexities and challenges law enforcement faces.   Brueski questioned the logic behind waiting for a conviction before running the DNA through CODIS. Coffindaffer responded with clarity, asserting that technology advancements demand modern responses. "To me, when you arrest somebody, it should be just like a fingerprint," she said. She stressed that New York's current laws are "antiquated at best" and highlighted the importance of modern reforms to the current system.   On the prospect of change, Coffindaffer was clear, "That's what they're going to have to do, is really get a bill and then get a law on the books." Emphasizing the importance of such a reform, she added, "But for the genetic genealogy and the DNA comparisons, Tony, we would have a killer still out there that would've possibly killed again."   The discussion then shifted to the current incarceration conditions of Heuerman, noting that he is isolated primarily for safety reasons. On the potential benefits of allowing suspects more social interaction for gaining information, Coffindaffer commented, "A lot of times people commit these kinds of crimes are narcissistic and they like to sort of brag about [it]." She cited the dangers to high-profile inmates, using Jeffrey Dahmer as a case in point. "In the balance, just tips too far, and they have to keep those individuals safe," she concluded.   With every revelation, the case against Rex Heuerman shows itself to be a labyrinth of complexities, with law enforcement navigating through laws, modern technology, and investigative techniques. As the world watches closely, the question remains: Will the legal system and investigative methods evolve to meet the challenges of the 21st century? Only time will tell.

Heuermann, Accused Gilgo Beach Killer, Linked to the Mysterious Disappearance of Julia Ann Bean

Heuermann, Accused Gilgo Beach Killer, Linked to the Mysterious Disappearance of Julia Ann Bean

The mysterious disappearance of a woman in South Carolina might have just taken a shocking turn. Julia Ann Bean vanished without a trace in 2017, leaving her loved ones desperate for answers. New suspicions have emerged surrounding her connection to the accused Gilgo Beach killer, Rex Heuermann.   The Disappearance of Julia Ann Bean   Julia Ann Bean was last seen alive in late May or early June of 2017 in the Red Bay Road area of Sumter. She was a 36-year-old mother of three who struggled with addiction. When she was reported missing on November 18, 2017, her absence had already stretched over six worrisome months. The state of her home suggested a sudden or forced departure, with essentials like keys, cell phone, and wallet left behind.   But why is this six-year-old case now getting fresh attention?   Rex Heuermann and the Gilgo Four   Enter Rex Heuermann. Recently arrested in connection with the murders of three women found along Gilgo Beach, Heuermann has a grim cloud surrounding him. The victims, known collectively as the "Gilgo Four," were petite women who offered their services on Craigslist.   When Bean's friend, Heidi Kovas, saw news footage of these victims, she was struck by their uncanny resemblance to Julia. As Kovas expressed, "All of them matched Julia. Everything. The blond hair, the green eyes, the fact she was so petite."   Kovas' unsettling observation took an even darker turn when she learned that Bean's daughter recognized Heuermann as the last man she saw her mother with. A chilling encounter outside a nail salon, where Bean's daughter was awaiting her mom, saw Heuermann drive Bean in a Chevrolet Avalanche – the very car embroiled in the New York case against him.   The Evidence Piles Up   The disturbing coincidences don't stop there. Sumter, where Bean was last seen, is a mere 100 miles away from property owned by Heuermann in Chester County. Could Heuermann have been in the area, connecting with Bean during a visit?   Bean's social media activity points to a mid-July disappearance, but the days leading up to her sudden exit are foggy. Kovas mentions the possibility of Bean's involvement in sex work, hinting at Heuermann's potential motive for visiting Sumter.   Local law enforcement is now under scrutiny, with friends and family of Bean accusing them of failing to investigate her disappearance adequately due to her past issues. Kovas has since reported her findings to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office, which is now investigating the connection.   The Ongoing Investigation   Heuermann's arrest has sent shockwaves through multiple states. He faces charges for the three Gilgo Beach murders and remains the prime suspect in the fourth. Investigations span across New York State, New Jersey, and other parts of South Carolina, with potential links in Las Vegas being explored too. His arrest followed a breakthrough in DNA evidence, and a search of his property uncovered a veritable arsenal and a suspicious vault.   Despite the mounting evidence, Heuermann remains distant and unresponsive, engaging only in religious activities since his incarceration.   Conclusion   The link between Rex Heuermann and the tragic disappearance of Julia Ann Bean is undeniably alarming. While investigations are ongoing, the revelations shed new light on a cold case, offering a glimmer of hope to a grieving family. As Kovas passionately implored, "Where's my friend? Why aren't they getting off their asses and going to look for her?" Only time will tell if the two cases intertwine, but one thing is clear: Julia Ann Bean's story is far from over.

48: Should Police Take A Closer Look At Rex Heuermann's Wife?

48: Should Police Take A Closer Look At Rex Heuermann's Wife?

In the latest episode of the esteemed "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski invited psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to shed light on one of the most riveting and controversial aspects of the Heuermann murder case — the involvement of Rex Heuermann's wife. The role of Heuermann’s wife has been brought into sharp focus due to allegations from John Ray, who, in various interviews with News Nation, the New York Post, and "Hidden Killers," suggests that she be considered not merely a bystander but a potential suspect.   True Crime Today and Hidden Killers Podcast does not have proof of what Ray is suggesting. Authorities had initially ruled out any involvement of Heuermann’s wife, Asa Ellerup, stating that she had alibi at the time of the crimes. "Her hair was, there was more of her hair found on the victims than Rex's," Brueski stated, hinting at the puzzling evidences that have raised eyebrows. However, he was quick to offer alternate explanations, suggesting that items like burlap sacks in the house could be a source of such contamination.   The debate stems from Ray’s assertive claims that he possesses evidence indicating Heuermann's wife's awareness and possible complicity in the murder of at least three women discovered on Gilgo Beach. While these are strong allegations, Brueski underscored that they have no intention of making these claims, instead highlighting the importance of examining these assertions.   Scott, an experienced psychotherapist, offered a clinical viewpoint, drawing parallels with her own practice. She reflected on how it's not uncommon for women to discover secrets about their partners after decades of marriage. "People can be incredibly good at deception," Scott noted, underscoring that it doesn't automatically mean that Heuermann's wife had any knowledge or involvement.   However, what really takes the cake in this unfolding drama is the police's decision to rule her out as a suspect based on her purported absence during some of the murders. Brueski, not without skepticism, remarked, "Is that strong or do you feel and from experience, do you think that law enforcement has already taken a deep dive into her?"   On the same note, establishing a GoFundMe campaign for Heuermann's wife raised eyebrows, particularly considering reports of the Heuermann family's substantial assets. "Is this someone who needs a GoFundMe for anything?" Brueski questioned. Furthermore, as the conversation deepened, Brueski and Scott expressed their bewilderment at the disproportionate attention on the Heuermann family instead of the victims. The nature of the victims, primarily alleged sex workers, played a role in this skewed focus, as per Scott. "The women in most danger are sex workers," Scott commented, drawing comparisons to the victims of other notorious serial killers, like Sam Little.   Concluding their discussion, Scott emphasized the need for society to extend empathy to such victims rather than sidelining their stories. As the Heuermann case unravels, the hope is that justice will shine its light not just on the guilty but also honor the memories of the lost. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
