Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Rex Heuermann’s former classmates have painted a picture of him that underscores why he is considered an outlier in the world of serial killers. Many described him as a socially awkward, odd, or “weird” presence during his youth, yet no one suspected the kind of violent darkness he would later be accused of. Reports from peers in his Massapequa school days often highlighted how he was teased or alienated, sometimes standing out for his size, demeanor, and difficulty fitting in. Unlike the charismatic or manipulative archetype often associated with serial offenders, Heuermann’s younger self was seen more as an outsider who lacked social grace rather than someone capable of calculated predation.What makes these recollections remarkable is how they contrast with his later life. Despite the early impressions of him being peculiar or even unsettling, Heuermann managed to build a respectable adult persona as a professional architect and family man. Many classmates expressed shock that the quiet, odd boy they remembered could have grown into the man accused of such chilling crimes, which highlights his divergence from expectations. Instead of becoming a figure who outwardly unraveled or displayed obvious menace, he embodied a paradox—someone remembered as offbeat in his youth, yet who matured into a socially invisible but allegedly lethal predator. This gap between childhood perceptions and the reality of the accusations adds another layer to his status as an outlier.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Avoided Then, Absent Now, Gilgo Beach Suspect Overshadows School Reunion - The New York Times (nytimes.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Rex Heuermann stands out as an outlier among serial killers because he does not fit many of the usual molds that investigators and profilers use to identify such predators. Unlike many offenders who are transient, socially isolated, or visibly unstable, Heuermann was a successful architect with a long-term marriage, children, and a thriving business in Manhattan. He had deep community roots in Massapequa Park, maintained a steady professional reputation, and gave off the appearance of a conventional suburban family man. His ability to juggle a demanding career while allegedly committing and concealing murders over years makes him atypical, as most serial killers struggle to maintain this level of social and professional stability.Another factor that sets Heuermann apart is the sheer brazenness and longevity of his alleged crimes. The Gilgo Beach killings haunted investigators for more than a decade, with bodies discovered in close proximity, yet Heuermann managed to live undetected in plain sight. Most serial killers eventually draw attention through escalating behavior, arrests for unrelated crimes, or visible breakdowns in their personal lives, but Heuermann avoided those pitfalls for years while maintaining an orderly, outwardly successful existence. This combination of suburban normalcy, professional accomplishment, and alleged hidden brutality places him in rare territory, making him more elusive and confounding than the archetypal serial offender.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Accused Gilgo Beach Suspect An 'Outlier' In Serial Killer Field: Doc | Massapequa, NY PatchBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Some defense attorneys and commentators in the Gilgo Beach case have floated the possibility that Rex Heuermann might not have acted alone—that a female accomplice could have played a role in luring victims. John Ray, a lawyer representing families of some victims, pointed to the way a young child’s body (dubbed “Peaches”) was found tenderly wrapped, suggesting that such a gesture might indicate the involvement of a mother figure—though he emphasized there is no conclusive evidence, and this remains speculative.There are no formal charges or identified suspects beyond Heuermann himself. Prosecutors continue to focus exclusively on building their case against him based on DNA, digital footprints, forensic evidence, and disturbing “blueprint” documents found on his computer. At this stage, the idea of an accomplice remains theoretical and under investigation, rather than a confirmed aspect of the case.o contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gilgo Beach murder victim's attorney claims suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann 'had a female accomplice' - because wrapping a dead baby in a blanket 'seems like an act of a mother' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, and Gary Ridgway, the convicted Green River Killer, share several chilling similarities that connect them across decades of American true crime. Both men led double lives, maintaining outward appearances of ordinary suburban family men while concealing dark, predatory compulsions. Heuermann, an architect living in a quiet Long Island neighborhood, and Ridgway, a truck painter in Washington state, blended seamlessly into their communities, masking their crimes behind stable jobs, marriages, and domestic normalcy. Each targeted vulnerable women—primarily sex workers—whom they could lure or ambush with relative ease, exploiting society’s indifference toward marginalized victims.In addition, both men displayed patterns of meticulousness mixed with chilling detachment. Ridgway confessed to dozens of murders and often revisited his dumping grounds, while Heuermann is suspected of carefully disposing of victims in a concentrated area near Gilgo Beach, suggesting ritualistic behavior and comfort with his chosen environment. Law enforcement has drawn parallels in how both operated with a predatory patience, taking advantage of gaps in police oversight and a lack of urgency in cases involving sex workers. Ultimately, their similarities lie not only in their crimes, but in their ability to present as unremarkable, blending into ordinary life while hiding a monstrous reality.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Rex Heuermann's Alleged Murder Profile Mirrors Green River Killer: Expert - NewsweekBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
