How Many Women Did Rex Heuermann Kill?

Can a series of accounts and testimonies truly capture the
essence of a criminal's character? This intriguing question forms
the core of a recent "Hidden Killers" podcast episode, where
hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent,
delve into the chilling accounts surrounding Rex Heuermann. Known
for his involvement in the Gilgo Beach murders, Heuermann's
character is further scrutinized through new testimonies,
shedding light on his alleged depravities and the system's
response to such individuals.

Brueski introduces two new accounts, one from a woman named
Taylor, a nightclub bottle girl who narrowly escaped an assault
from Heuermann in 2010. Dreeke, with his expertise in behavioral
analysis, is unsurprised by these revelations, describing
Heuermann's actions as "pure depravity." He notes that
Heuermann's distinctive appearance made him memorable, worsening
his situation as more victims come forward.

The conversation then shifts to the systemic response to such
criminals. Brueski highlights the efforts of Attorney Ray, who is
bringing new information to light, often more than the official
investigation. They discuss the importance of addressing the
victims' families' needs and the challenges in the justice system
in dealing with such complex cases.

Another account mentioned by Brueski involves Mary Poe, a sex
worker who alleged an encounter with Heuermann in 1994, resulting
in her being shot. This account, backed by medical records, adds
to the growing list of allegations against Heuermann. Dreeke
emphasizes the need for thorough investigation, questioning why
Heuermann's estranged wife, who is now making a documentary, has
not been more scrutinized.

The episode takes an interesting turn when discussing Heuermann's
mental state in jail. Despite the heinous nature of his crimes,
he receives counseling for depression, prompting a debate on the
ethics and necessity of providing mental health support to
accused criminals. Dreeke sees this as a testament to the quality
of the American jail system, while Brueski expresses frustration
that such resources are allocated to someone accused of such
grave crimes.

In conclusion, the episode of "Hidden Killers" brings to light
the complex dynamics of criminal behavior, victim impact, and the
justice system's role in addressing these issues. It paints a
picture of a system striving to balance justice and humanity,
even in the face of profound depravity.
