Episode notes
In the latest episode of the chilling "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer delved deep into the disturbing case surrounding the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann.
Heuermann, who has been charged with multiple counts of murder, is currently under intense investigation for potential involvement in many unsolved cases across Long Island, Las Vegas, and South Carolina. Brueski began the conversation by addressing the gravity of the case, "Oh, it's the case that's not going to go away anytime soon." He further suggested that despite the grim circumstances, the ongoing investigation could eventually bring closure to the families of unsolved murder victims.
Coffindaffer's expertise as a former FBI Special Agent lent a unique perspective to the discussion, focusing on Heuermann's property holdings and timeshares. The retired agent expressed concerns about Heuermann's selection of a Las Vegas timeshare, calling it a "perfect place for a sexual predator that loves to prey on women who operate in the evening hours."
Coffindaffer also highlighted Heuermann's properties in rural South Carolina, specifically pointing out the presence of a unique Chevy Avalanche – a vehicle used to commission these crimes. "He didn't get rid of it. Nor would I have expected him to. First of all, there could be damning evidence in there… And just, I think he just kept it as a trophy," she suggested.
The investigation has also sparked rumors of possible accomplices, including a potential female collaborator. When asked about this theory, Coffindaffer voiced her skepticism, stating, "These types of crimes typically, not always, but typically they are committed alone." She further clarified that Heuermann, being a misogynistic and narcissistic individual, wouldn't likely share his power or control with an accomplice, and especially not a woman.
Adding another dimension to the alarming case, Brueski and Coffindaffer touched on the many unidentified bodies found at Gilgo Beach. Coffindaffer confirmed that Heuermann has officially been charged with three murders but suggested that more victims might be yet to be identified.
Brueski questioned whether Gilgo Beach was a commonly used body-dumping site or if the bodies discovered were all potentially linked to Heuermann. Coffindaffer responded, "I think it's clear that a body could easily be hidden in this area due to the terrain and so forth."
One of the most ominous points of the conversation came when the pair discussed the possibility of more recent murders linked to Heuermann. Brueski asked, "Do you suspect that we're going to find out about far more murders involving him in more recent days?" Coffindaffer answered, recounting an interview with a woman who claimed to have encountered Heuermann in 2015. "If we're to believe that, Tony, and we know, I believe law enforcement is interviewing another person currently. I have heard that. I think there will be others that come forward that he never got lured."
As the sinister saga of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer unfolds, it sends shockwaves through the nation, raising the specter of additional victims and unsolved cases. As Brueski and Coffindaffer's discussion concluded, it became clear that this case is far from its denouement.
