Should Police Take A Closer Look At Heuermann Family?

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by
Tony Brueski, with Jennifer Coffindaffer, a former FBI Special
Agent, and a daily contributor to the podcast, the two discuss
the peculiar behavior of the Heuermann family after their house
was raided due to another family member's criminal
activities.
 
 The Heuermann family, as Brueski describes, has been
spending an unusual amount of time on their lawn, barbecuing and
engaging in activities they never used to do. This behavior has
sparked intrigue and suspicion among their neighbors. The
family's attorney claims that the house is uninhabitable due to
the floor-to-ceiling debris, and therefore, they have no choice
but to spend time outside. Coffindaffer explains that the
family's behavior could be an attempt to garner sympathy and
support for a civil lawsuit against the authorities for the
condition of their home.
 
 She notes that it would benefit the family to keep the
house in its current state as it strengthens their civil claim.
Law enforcement, she asserts, is thorough in documenting the
state of a property before a raid, and usually restores it to its
original state to avoid lawsuits. This makes it unlikely that the
family's lawsuit will hold up in court.
 
 Moreover, Coffindaffer and Brueski express skepticism about
the family's narrative. They highlight the oddity of the family's
desire for public attention, given that victims of serial killers
typically seek privacy. Brueski suggests that the family’s
behavior may be opportunistic and aimed at deflecting attention
from other possible areas of investigation.
 
 The episode also delves into the family's claim that their
cats were sent to a kill shelter during the raid. Coffindaffer
suggests that this account may be one-sided, as the other party
involved has not publicly commented on the situation. The
family's actions, according to Coffindaffer, are unusual for
victims of serial killers who typically want to maintain their
privacy and even move out of their homes.
 
 Brueski and Coffindaffer question the family’s motives,
considering the ongoing struggle of a family member with cancer,
which paints them as vulnerable and sympathetic figures. They
wonder whether the family’s actions are a strategic attempt to
deflect attention from other areas that could be under
investigation.
 
 In summary, the "Hidden Killers" podcast episode with Tony
Brueski and Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the peculiar behavior
of the Heuermann family after their house was raided. The hosts
express skepticism about the family's narrative and motives,
questioning whether their actions are an attempt to garner
sympathy for a civil lawsuit, deflect attention from other
possible investigations, or a combination of both. The episode
highlights the complexities and challenges faced by victims of
serial killers and the broader community in the aftermath of such
events.
