Accused Gilgo Killer Rex Heuermann CLEARED in One Long Island Murder-WEEK IN REVIEW

Accused Gilgo Killer Rex Heuermann CLEARED in One Long Island Murder-WEEK IN REVIEW

In a stunning twist in the Gilgo Beach serial killer saga, accused murderer Rex Heuermann has officially been cleared in the 1994 strangulation death of Colleen McNamee, a Long Island sex worker long believed to be one of his potential victims. For years, McNamee’s name was quietly linked to the growing list of women found murdered across Suffolk County — a list that defined Heuermann as the face of one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history.

But a new DNA analysis just ended that speculation for good. The Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that Heuermann’s genetic profile did not match the “Unknown Male A” found on McNamee’s remains. Instead, the DNA points back toward convicted killer John Bittrolff, a carpenter already serving 50 years to life for two nearly identical murders. Ironically, it was Bittrolff himself who pushed for the test — hoping it would shift blame to Heuermann. It did the opposite.

This development doesn’t exonerate Heuermann from the seven brutal killings he’s charged with — victims Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. Their DNA trails, cell records, and forensic links remain strong. But it does sharpen the boundaries of truth: what’s proven, what’s not, and how modern forensic science continues to rewrite the Gilgo Beach narrative.

In this episode, Tony Brueski breaks down the case that looked like it belonged to Rex Heuermann — and why it never did. From forensic breakthroughs to the psychology of blame, we explore how one killer tried to hide behind another, and how DNA once again cut through the myth to reveal the facts.

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand?

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand?

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand? “New to court” isn’t “made up yesterday.” With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we translate the court-approved hair genome sequencing into plain English: what it shows, what it can’t do, and how to explain it without turning jurors into lab techs. Expect the defense to yell “junk science”; expect prosecutors to answer with validation, protocols, and conservative takes that land. We walk the “household hair” tightrope—finding family hairs on burlap sacks is eye-catching, but transfer and secondary transfer are real. The job is to explain significance without implying guilt by osmosis. Then we talk about the witnesses closest to Rex Heuermann—could his daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take the stand? Immunity, exposure, credibility—how those choices look from the jury box matters. And yes, the calendar. Discovery fights, expert disclosures, possible added counts—2027 isn’t dramatic; it’s realistic. The joinder win gives the state runway. Landing the plane will take clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects juror skepticism.

Deleted Posts, Grooming Claims & Tattoos: D4VD Case Deepens

Deleted Posts, Grooming Claims & Tattoos: D4VD Case Deepens

Deleted Posts, Grooming Claims & Tattoos: D4VD Case Deepens Beyond the shocking discovery of Celeste’s body, disturbing details keep surfacing about D4VD’s connection to her. Reports of matching tattoos, grooming concerns, and deleted online posts have thrown fuel on the fire of public suspicion. Tony and Eric Faddis explore how these elements complicate the case. Did a celebrity use influence to blur the lines of consent? Was Celeste being hidden in plain sight as a runaway? And why are posts on Discord and Reddit allegedly tied to D4VD’s circle suddenly vanishing? From music videos showing bodies in trunks to the disturbing optics of shared tattoos with a minor, this case raises urgent questions about power, control, and accountability.

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence

D4vd and the Tesla Trunk Homicide: Full Timeline and Evidence This is the entire D4vd arc in one run—no topic hopscotch. With Jennifer Coffindaffer, we build the timeline from the Hollywood Hills abandonment to the tow-lot discovery and explain why a disciplined investigation can look “slow” from the outside: good cases are built on quiet work, not noise. We lay out what a Tesla can realistically provide—access events, navigation history, maybe camera data if it wasn’t disabled—and where that digital exhaust needs help from trace and humans who can actually place hands on a wheel. We separate attention bait from evidence. The viral concert clip? Walked back. A teacher’s classroom pickup video? If verified, potentially timeline-relevant. Tattoos and lyrics might feel “on brand,” but in court they’re decor unless tied to dates, places, and acts. On the forensic side, we talk like adults: how pathologists distinguish dismemberment from decomposition, what toxicology can still add despite heat and time, and what a homicide ruling really signals. Standard of proof stays front-and-center: linkage isn’t guilt. As of this recording, there are no charges. Everyone is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. We close with the practical checklist to move this from headline to case file: corroborated timelines, converging digital + forensic hits, and communications evidence that doesn’t collapse under scrutiny.

Music Star D4VD’s Career Collapses After Body in Trunk The music world was stunned when police discovered the decomposed body of missing teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez in the trunk of a Tesla registered to rising star D4VD. In this segment, Tony and defense attorney Eric Faddis break down the explosive case that has frozen a career and left a family grieving. What happens legally when a body is found in your car?

Empty Chairs at the Adelsons’ Holiday Table — What’s Next for Wendi?

Empty Chairs at the Adelsons’ Holiday Table — What’s Next for Wendi? The Adelson saga is far from over. In this segment, Tony, Stacy, and Todd go deeper into the family’s fractured state. With multiple members behind bars for their roles in Dan Markel’s murder, the spotlight shifts to Wendi Adelson and the children — still living under the shadow of the family name. The hosts ask: What does “normal” look like when your family is synonymous with crime? Do Wendi’s kids grow up carrying the weight of their family’s choices? And how do grandparents and extended family fit into a picture dominated by prison visits, court rulings, and headlines? This segment bridges into the bigger picture — how high-profile cases ripple through generations, altering not just public perception but the very fabric of family identity. The Adelsons aren’t just defendants; they are now a case study in how crime poisons tradition, stability, and even the meaning of home.

Adelson Holidays From Hell: Will Wendi Celebrate Behind Bars?

Adelson Holidays From Hell: Will Wendi Celebrate Behind Bars?

Adelson Holidays From Hell: Will Wendi Celebrate Behind Bars? The Adelson family has gone from luxury dinners to prison visits. In this opening segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony, Stacy, and Todd pivot from lighthearted fall banter into the dark reality facing the Adelsons after the Dan Markel murder-for-hire case. With Donna Adelson now convicted, Charlie behind bars, and Wendi still under public scrutiny, the question becomes: what do family holidays look like now? Are visits scheduled between prison walls the new “family gathering”? Do empty chairs haunt the table where an influential Florida family once sat? The conversation exposes how crime shatters more than lives — it unravels traditions, devastates children, and replaces once-celebrated rituals with surveillance, guards, and barbed wire. The Adelsons may not all be convicted, but the shadow of this case leaves no holiday untouched.
