Latest / Crime Stories with Nancy Grace / 50 Cents New Scripted Show About Gilgo Beach Killer Rex Heuermann to Shine Light on Even More Murder Victims?
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. I have always believed that
- 0:09Speaker 1: the Long Island serial killer, also called the Gilgo Beach Killer,
- 0:14Speaker 1: Rex Hureman, has murdered many more women than the ones
- 0:20Speaker 1: he owned up to in court. Will fifty cents new
- 0:24Speaker 1: scripted show about Rex Hureman put more spotlight on Hureman
- 0:30Speaker 1: and hopefully discover his other victims. I'm Nancy Grace. This
- 0:35Speaker 1: is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for being
- 0:38Speaker 1: with us in the last days we learned fifty cent
- 0:42Speaker 1: producing a scripted show about the Gilgo Beach Killer Long
- 0:45Speaker 1: Island serial killer Rex Hureman, But many of us believe
- 0:50Speaker 1: Hureman is also responsible for many other murders. In fact,
- 0:56Speaker 1: many people believe that Rex Huerman, the Long e On
- 1:00Speaker 1: serial killer, is also the Manerville Butcher. Early in the investigation,
- 1:07Speaker 1: speculation arose connecting Hureman to other dismemberment cases on Long Island,
- 1:13Speaker 1: specifically the Man Butcher, because some of those victims were
- 1:17Speaker 1: found dismembered and wrapped in burlap. How many serial killers
- 1:22Speaker 1: can there be in Long Island that kill the victim,
- 1:27Speaker 1: dismember the victim, and wrap them in similar burlap. I
- 1:31Speaker 1: think there are more victims out there.
- 1:34Speaker 2: What do we know?
- 1:36Speaker 1: We now understand why the Las Vegas victims are now
- 1:42Speaker 1: potential victims of the Long Island serial Killer. What is
- 1:48Speaker 1: the connection? And how many more dead bodies can be
- 1:52Speaker 1: chalked up to one man? Also rex Hureman, the Long
- 1:58Speaker 1: Island serial killer suspect refuses to give DNA. Wonder why
- 2:05Speaker 1: but a judge swoops in and demands you will give
- 2:09Speaker 1: DNA rex Hureman, But let's just start at the beginning.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Take a listen, our friends at News.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Twelve twenty years since a gravel truck driver made a
- 2:17Speaker 3: grusome discovery along the West coast in this grassy, deserted
- 2:22Speaker 3: area outside Las Vegas.
- 2:24Speaker 1: That she just was thrown like a piece of trash
- 2:26Speaker 1: in the desert you first heard. It's unbelievable.
- 2:28Speaker 3: It feels like a lifetime movie. The discarded body belonged
- 2:32Speaker 3: to a young teenage sex worker originally from New Jersey
- 2:36Speaker 3: named Victoria Kamara.
- 2:37Speaker 1: With me an all star panel to make sense of
- 2:39Speaker 1: what we know right now, including a woman that has
- 2:43Speaker 1: seemingly connected the dots between the Long Island serial killer
- 2:47Speaker 1: and potential suspects in Vegas, and that would be Tara
- 2:50Speaker 1: Rosenbloom joining us from News twelve Long Island. But first
- 2:54Speaker 1: I want to go to a special guest joining me,
- 2:56Speaker 1: Glen Dean Grant. You may not have her of her,
- 3:01Speaker 1: but you will remember her name after you hear what
- 3:03Speaker 1: she's got to say. Glendane is the mother of a
- 3:08Speaker 1: twenty year old young girl trafficked into sex work in Vegas,
- 3:15Speaker 1: missing since two thousand and six. She is the founder
- 3:20Speaker 1: of math m at H Mothers Against Trafficking Humans. Miss Grant,
- 3:26Speaker 1: thank you for being with us.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Oh, I appreciate you having me on, Nancy, I appreciate
- 3:31Speaker 4: it a lot.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You know, it actually hurts me to hear you thank
- 3:35Speaker 1: me after all you have been through. You know, I
- 3:39Speaker 1: have a daughter and a son. They're twins and not
- 3:44Speaker 1: much younger than your daughter when she was sex trafficked
- 3:49Speaker 1: in Vegas. I want to hear your reaction to the
- 3:54Speaker 1: potential link between the Long Island serial killer and bodies
- 3:58Speaker 1: of young sex workers found in your area.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Oh well, it's it's just wells a scout off again.
- 4:08Speaker 4: It gets us going again, hopeful that there might be answers,
- 4:14Speaker 4: praying that Jesse has found. You know, at this point,
- 4:18Speaker 4: you know, having her missing for seventeen and a half years.
- 4:23Speaker 4: You know, I bounced back and forth from you know,
- 4:25Speaker 4: maybe she's still alive, to you know, you kind of
- 4:28Speaker 4: hope she's not after all this time, if it's you know,
- 4:31Speaker 4: horrible things are happening to her, and then back to
- 4:34Speaker 4: you know, I just don't feel that she's gone in
- 4:37Speaker 4: my mother heart to not seeing any other options. So
- 4:42Speaker 4: anytime something like this comes up, we get anxious again.
- 4:46Speaker 4: We hope that this time we will have the answers
- 4:49Speaker 4: that we need, and then we just keep going. We
- 4:53Speaker 4: keep going on. You know, we have I actually lost
- 4:55Speaker 4: another daughter in twenty twenty one, and I have four daughters.
- 5:00Speaker 4: So now I have just my two daughters and my
- 5:02Speaker 4: grandkids and my husband. So we form a very strong
- 5:06Speaker 4: bond and we won't stop until we get some kind
- 5:08Speaker 4: of answers joining me.
- 5:10Speaker 1: In addition to Tara Rosenbloom News twelve Long Island, Kristin
- 5:15Speaker 1: Thorn is with US investigator reporter WABC seven Eyewitness News, Tara,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about potential links between
- 5:24Speaker 1: the suspect Rex Huermann, suspected of being a serial killer
- 5:29Speaker 1: in the Long Island area, and Vegas. First take a
- 5:33Speaker 1: listen to our friends at News twelve.
- 5:35Speaker 3: News twelve learn late Wednesday afternoon that the Las Vegas
- 5:38Speaker 3: Police Department just got the green light to conduct a
- 5:41Speaker 3: direct comparison between suspected Gilgo Beach killer Rex Hewerman's DNA
- 5:47Speaker 3: with the DNA recovered from Victoria Kamara's body. Sources tell
- 5:51Speaker 3: us the DNA testing could take six to eight weeks
- 5:53Speaker 3: to complete, and that it could expand to include four
- 5:56Speaker 3: other cold cases that we've reported on in recent weeks,
- 6:00Speaker 3: all involving young sex workers in Las Vegas who were
- 6:03Speaker 3: killed in similarly suspicious circumstances as the Gilgo Beach victims.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Okay, straight to you, Tara Rosenbloom needs twelve Long Island
- 6:14Speaker 1: hit me.
- 6:15Speaker 5: Okay, Nancy, thanks for sharing those clips. That was actually
- 6:18Speaker 5: all information that we broke first on News twelve and
- 6:21Speaker 5: shared throughout the country because immediately, you know, we had
- 6:25Speaker 5: prosecutors calling this the most consequential homicide investigation in Long
- 6:29Speaker 5: Island history, as you know, but my team, literally twenty
- 6:33Speaker 5: four hours after his arrest, set out to determine whether
- 6:36Speaker 5: or not other police departments across the country would be
- 6:39Speaker 5: able to say the same thing. We set our sites
- 6:42Speaker 5: on the Vegas early on, because we know that he's
- 6:45Speaker 5: owed two time shares. They are dating back two decades.
- 6:48Speaker 5: First thing we needed to find out, as you and
- 6:50Speaker 5: I have spoken, Nancy, is how many cold cases there
- 6:53Speaker 5: are in the department. We comed through all online records
- 6:56Speaker 5: because they didn't have Italian determined there were two hundred
- 6:59Speaker 5: and sixty six activity.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Okay, whoa right there? Right there? You think and I
- 7:04Speaker 1: even hate to say this is so cliche. In Sin City,
- 7:07Speaker 1: for Pete's sake, they would have an up to date
- 7:09Speaker 1: toll of how many people are missing. I mean, Glendaine Grant,
- 7:13Speaker 1: that's just got to rub you the wrong way. Your
- 7:15Speaker 1: daughter has been missing since two thousand and six, and
- 7:18Speaker 1: I think Tara's going to tell us that's around the
- 7:20Speaker 1: time that Huerman was there, and they don't even have
- 7:24Speaker 1: a tally of how many people are missing. Are you
- 7:27Speaker 1: kidding me, Glendane? What what the he's going on out there?
- 7:31Speaker 4: Oh? It drives us crazy, Nancy. We literally have to
- 7:35Speaker 4: be the ones that contact the police on the most cases,
- 7:37Speaker 4: and we give them tips that don't always get looked at.
- 7:42Speaker 4: I have to say, though, in the last year or so,
- 7:44Speaker 4: maybe a little longer, we've had a new detective on
- 7:47Speaker 4: the case that I'm so grateful for. He contacted me,
- 7:50Speaker 4: he asked to be put on the case. He remembers
- 7:53Speaker 4: Jesse's kids from the Geck. He said that he was
- 7:56Speaker 4: a rookie when she went missing, so it's always stood
- 7:58Speaker 4: out to him. And he also told me that they
- 8:00Speaker 4: were born in the same year, so we had a connection.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Well, that's so good news. There's new a need to
- 8:05Speaker 1: take tim on it. But Tara Rosenbliam, I want to
- 8:08Speaker 1: get about three inches of their tailpipe. You had to
- 8:11Speaker 1: go in and amass the numbers yourself.
- 8:14Speaker 5: We did, Nancy, and out of those two hundred and
- 8:16Speaker 5: sixty six cold cases, sixty one of them this is
- 8:19Speaker 5: by our count, involved women. So the first thing we
- 8:21Speaker 5: needed to know how many of.
- 8:23Speaker 6: Those are sex workers.
- 8:24Speaker 5: We were looking for similarities to Gilgo Beach. So we
- 8:27Speaker 5: went through one by one. Glendy knows her and I
- 8:30Speaker 5: were in touch. We went through one by one and
- 8:33Speaker 5: reached out to family members, tried to develop law enforcement sources,
- 8:37Speaker 5: and of those, I was able to identify five cases
- 8:41Speaker 5: with striking similarities to the Gilgo Beach cases. I mean,
- 8:45Speaker 5: we were knee deep in this. We were comparing autopsy
- 8:47Speaker 5: records we were putting in foiled records, and we found
- 8:51Speaker 5: out that sure enough, the Las Vegas Police Department, they
- 8:55Speaker 5: got the green light for their DNA lab to conclude
- 8:58Speaker 5: a direct compare sin of suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer
- 9:03Speaker 5: Rex human DNA with the DNA recovered in one of
- 9:06Speaker 5: the cases that we had highlighted early on had involved
- 9:10Speaker 5: the murder of a New Jersey mother, Victoria Kamaras, who
- 9:13Speaker 5: for two decades her family has been looking for answers.
- 9:17Speaker 5: Her daughter was barely one when she was found dead.
- 9:20Speaker 4: I spoke with her yesterday.
- 9:22Speaker 5: She is now twenty one and just really hoping that
- 9:26Speaker 5: this results in justice for their family.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, you've just thrown us all a bombshell
- 9:34Speaker 1: a grenade. I read your report late last night, and
- 9:40Speaker 1: it's amazing, not only your reporting and all the work,
- 9:44Speaker 1: the investigative work you had to do to report what
- 9:47Speaker 1: you reported, but the content of your report. It's happening,
- 9:52Speaker 1: It is happening. Vegas PD now has the go ahead
- 9:56Speaker 1: to make DNA comparisons from what they have found on
- 10:01Speaker 1: these women in Vegas. Two Rex Hueman sitting, as I
- 10:05Speaker 1: said earlier, getting three hots and a cot. Now you
- 10:09Speaker 1: just heard Tara Rosenwilliam bring up the name, and now
- 10:14Speaker 1: I want to follow up with that. Take listen our
- 10:16Speaker 1: friends at News twelve.
- 10:17Speaker 3: In his first interview since Hiraman's bombshell was, a three
- 10:21Speaker 3: decade veteran of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reveals
- 10:25Speaker 3: the chilling reason the suspected serial killer is also being
- 10:29Speaker 3: investigated for possible ties to a string of unsolved murders
- 10:33Speaker 3: that he probed as a detective in the cold case
- 10:36Speaker 3: unit until his retirement two months ago.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I can just say that there are similar circumstances between
- 10:41Speaker 1: these three murder victims.
- 10:44Speaker 7: They were sex workers, and they disappeared and they were
- 10:47Speaker 7: found out in the desert.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Phil Ramos told me three cases he knows of have
- 10:50Speaker 3: similar methodology to the Gilgo Beach murders.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Time Stories with Nancy Grace will a new scripted show
- 11:07Speaker 1: produced by fifty cent about Gilgo Beach killer aka Long
- 11:12Speaker 1: Island serial killer Rex Huerman shine light on other victims
- 11:16Speaker 1: in the same area. What do we know about the similarities?
- 11:21Speaker 1: Take a listen to NBC.
- 11:23Speaker 3: The Gilgo Task Force is now expanding its investigation to
- 11:26Speaker 3: other cold cases on Long Island.
- 11:29Speaker 8: A serial killer stocked the streets of Atlantic City, strangling
- 11:31Speaker 8: prostitutes and leaving them in a narrow ditch behind a
- 11:34Speaker 8: CD motel. In November two thousand and six, the bodies
- 11:37Speaker 8: of these four women were discovered behind the Golden Key
- 11:40Speaker 8: Motel in a Carpor township, their shoes and socks missing,
- 11:44Speaker 8: and their bodies with their faces pointed eastward towards the
- 11:47Speaker 8: gold and silver spires of Atlantic City across the back.
- 11:50Speaker 8: The media called the killer the Eastbound strangler, and no
- 11:53Speaker 8: one's ever been arrested and charged with this crime.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Okay, let that say, Ken, you're not only hearing our
- 11:57Speaker 1: friends at NBC, but also chasing news nine. Let's hear
- 12:03Speaker 1: that one more time. Specifically, Cut one five Jack.
- 12:07Speaker 8: A serial killer stocked the streets of Atlantic City, strangling
- 12:10Speaker 8: prostitutes and leaving them in a narrow ditch behind a
- 12:13Speaker 8: CD motel. In November two thousand and six, the bodies
- 12:16Speaker 8: of these four women were discovered behind the Golden Key
- 12:19Speaker 8: Motel in a Carpor township, their shoes and socks missing,
- 12:22Speaker 8: and their bodies with their faces pointed eastward towards the
- 12:26Speaker 8: gold and silver spires of Atlantic City across the Bak.
- 12:28Speaker 8: The media called the killer the Eastbound strangler, and no
- 12:31Speaker 8: one's ever been arrested and charged with this crime.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Straight out to the founder and director of the Cold
- 12:36Speaker 1: Case Research Institute, forensic expert currently analyzing for a job
- 12:44Speaker 1: for a living crime scenes. You can find her at
- 12:47Speaker 1: coldcasecrimes dot org. Host of a new hit podcast, Zone seven,
- 12:52Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum. Cheryl, you were with me so many times
- 12:57Speaker 1: and during the time I prosecuted violent crimes, including mar
- 13:00Speaker 1: including serial killers. The first thing you want to do
- 13:03Speaker 1: when you look at similar transactions, as it is called
- 13:07Speaker 1: typically in our constitute. Under our constitution, past crimes do
- 13:11Speaker 1: not come in on the case in chief. The jury
- 13:14Speaker 1: doesn't need to be tainted by other crimes unless and
- 13:16Speaker 1: until it shows course of conduct, motive, a frame of
- 13:20Speaker 1: mind similarity. So the first thing you want to do
- 13:24Speaker 1: to get that evident sin, of course, is to find similarities.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Here we have all the victims, and this has really
- 13:30Speaker 1: been under played. Nobody even says this word women. They're
- 13:36Speaker 1: almost all women. Now, there was one Asian male over
- 13:42Speaker 1: on Long Island, and there was one child, but overwhelmingly
- 13:47Speaker 1: all the victims are women, many of them sex workers.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Here in the Eastbound killer case. And I think we're
- 13:56Speaker 1: going to learn in Manerville Lump to get other in
- 14:00Speaker 1: their burial sites, their disposal sites. Burial is probably a euphemism.
- 14:05Speaker 1: They're all disposed of in the same area. They're all
- 14:11Speaker 1: killed in the same manner, which is not necessary to
- 14:14Speaker 1: be a similar transaction. And many of them, if not all,
- 14:18Speaker 1: are sex workers. Okay, how far away? Hold on to
- 14:23Speaker 1: a second? Jen Smith joining me, Chief investigative reporter deallymail
- 14:27Speaker 1: dot com. Jen, how far are the bodies in the
- 14:30Speaker 1: Eastbound Strangler from the bodies at Gilgo? Just give me
- 14:34Speaker 1: that one fact if you know it, if it's somebody
- 14:35Speaker 1: else knows it, jump in.
- 14:37Speaker 9: Yeah, pretty far. I mean we're talking about Long Island
- 14:39Speaker 9: or New York's East Coast and then Jersey, Atlantic City,
- 14:43Speaker 9: Wada and kind of at the tip there. So pretty far,
- 14:46Speaker 9: but you know, not impossible, right?
- 14:48Speaker 1: No? Pretty far? What is pretty far? Three hours? Are
- 14:52Speaker 1: you serious? People drive two and a half hours, three
- 14:55Speaker 1: hours just to get to work. And if you're looking
- 14:58Speaker 1: to kill hookers, where you're going to go? Atlantic City,
- 15:01Speaker 1: Vegas away from home so your wife and your children
- 15:05Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing enough?
- 15:07Speaker 9: Yes, you're right, they are close enough for a connection
- 15:10Speaker 9: to be plausible.
- 15:11Speaker 1: A three hour drive to dispose of bodies. Okay, sure,
- 15:15Speaker 1: I will call him similarities. What do you make of it?
- 15:17Speaker 10: They're all safe workers. Their cell phones were taken. That's
- 15:22Speaker 10: key to me, because we know not only has Rex
- 15:25Speaker 10: taken cell phones from the victims, is used them.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Well well, wait, stop, did you actually just call him
- 15:31Speaker 1: by his first name? Where are you gonna have dinner
- 15:34Speaker 1: with him?
- 15:35Speaker 10: Let not be too respectful by calling him by his
- 15:38Speaker 10: last name.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Don't don't go while his wife and children aren't home.
- 15:42Speaker 10: And I'm trying not to give him too much for
- 15:44Speaker 10: what So I'm just saying, we know he took.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Cell phones, we know he used those falls.
- 15:49Speaker 10: The other thing, not only are the dumping grounds similar,
- 15:52Speaker 10: but the way he's left the victims enclosed proc similarly
- 15:55Speaker 10: to woman. Never is key, Nancy. You and I talked
- 15:58Speaker 10: about from street there were going to be bodies in
- 16:02Speaker 10: other states. We believed that the fact that he had
- 16:05Speaker 10: seven cell phones. The pros right now are going to
- 16:10Speaker 10: try to see the distinction of why he.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Had seven phones.
- 16:15Speaker 10: Was each bone designated a different state?
- 16:18Speaker 1: We will see, guys, we're talking about the very real
- 16:22Speaker 1: possibility that Rex Hureman, the so called Long Island serial
- 16:27Speaker 1: Killer or Gilgo Beach Killer, is connected to a string
- 16:31Speaker 1: of murders, the Moniker, the east Bound Strangler, and Manabel Butcher.
- 16:38Speaker 1: I want to go now to a very special guest
- 16:40Speaker 1: joining us, and remember everybody on the panel, Doctor Bethany
- 16:44Speaker 1: bernarda Vielona, Joe Jackelone, doctor Tim Gallagher, Jen Smith, everybody
- 16:52Speaker 1: please jump in. We have an expert joining us right now,
- 16:56Speaker 1: film producer and director of the killing season and eight
- 17:00Speaker 1: part series on the Gilg Killer airing right now. You
- 17:04Speaker 1: can stream it at Hulu, Amazon Prime and ae TV. Okay, well,
- 17:11Speaker 1: let that just sink in. This guy has produced and
- 17:15Speaker 1: directed an eight part series on the Gilg Beach Killer
- 17:21Speaker 1: and ties to other victims in the area. Josh Zeeman
- 17:26Speaker 1: is joining to us. Okay, you know what, Josh, I
- 17:28Speaker 1: just got chills on my arm thinking about and not
- 17:31Speaker 1: in a good way, in the scary way, thinking about
- 17:35Speaker 1: the Eastbound Strangler and the Manerbal Butcher as he has
- 17:40Speaker 1: called because he dismembered bodies. Josh, what do you think
- 17:46Speaker 1: right now?
- 17:46Speaker 6: It's really hard to kind of put it all together.
- 17:50Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the defendant. Is he even considered
- 17:55Speaker 6: to be the Manorbill Butcher. That's the first and big question. Yes,
- 17:58Speaker 6: the gilg Beach four, the Maniville Butcher. We don't quite know.
- 18:02Speaker 6: And we're talking about six other victims who are found
- 18:05Speaker 6: basically around the Gilgo Beach four. The Manerville Butcher. Yes,
- 18:12Speaker 6: probably the Eastbound strangler. I don't know. That's it's really tough.
- 18:17Speaker 6: I mean, we're talking about four women, all sex workers,
- 18:21Speaker 6: all found in close proximity to each other, all found
- 18:24Speaker 6: near water. There's a lot of similarities, but there's also
- 18:27Speaker 6: a lot of differences too.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, justin. Joe Jackalone is joining us former
- 18:32Speaker 1: NYPD sergeant, Colgate investigator and author of the cold case
- 18:38Speaker 1: handbook WOW and the Criminal Investigative Function, a guide for
- 18:45Speaker 1: new investigators. The guy has literally written the book and
- 18:50Speaker 1: you can find him at Joseph jackelone spelled gia c
- 18:56Speaker 1: A l o n E. Okay, completely than the way
- 19:00Speaker 1: it sounds dot com. Joe, thank you for being with us.
- 19:04Speaker 1: You know, I hear Josh Zaemon and I agree. The
- 19:09Speaker 1: three hours drive for the Eastbounds Strangler doesn't bother me
- 19:13Speaker 1: at all. That's no, that doesn't bother me for someone
- 19:18Speaker 1: that at that point in his killing career wants to
- 19:22Speaker 1: dump bodies further away from his home. Now, the Manville Butcher, Josh,
- 19:31Speaker 1: weren't some of the body parts of the Mannerval Butcher
- 19:36Speaker 1: victims found at Gilgo Beach.
- 19:39Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, that's the crazy thing. How how are
- 19:42Speaker 6: there two serial killers dumping bodies in the same place. Yeah,
- 19:46Speaker 6: you know, for a long time we didn't really quite
- 19:49Speaker 6: think the tour connected. But one of the biggest issues
- 19:52Speaker 6: is the defendants google searches. In his Google search there
- 19:56Speaker 6: it comes up Asian twink, which really is kind of
- 19:59Speaker 6: like think that's identified with an Asian, kind of effeminine man.
- 20:05Speaker 11: Also, just from being a top of myself on Cherry
- 20:07Speaker 11: will tell you we don't believe in coincidences, right, So
- 20:10Speaker 11: from the very beginning, I always thought it was one
- 20:12Speaker 11: individual response that responsible for all of these And I'll
- 20:15Speaker 11: tell you what people say, Well, these people, you know,
- 20:18Speaker 11: the first book, Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack were all
- 20:21Speaker 11: caught up, and then you know, remains were left in
- 20:23Speaker 11: Manorville and Hempstead State Lake Park and Fire Island Jane Goe.
- 20:27Speaker 11: But you know, and now the other he'll go for
- 20:30Speaker 11: totally intact. And it's because my belief is that this
- 20:34Speaker 11: individual fet those girls up off the street and he
- 20:37Speaker 11: was worried about somebody seeing and get in the car,
- 20:39Speaker 11: and that's so he had to try to dismember him
- 20:42Speaker 11: to try to make sure that the police couldn't identify
- 20:44Speaker 11: and so nothing would lead back to him. The gill
- 20:46Speaker 11: go for all done anonymously what he thought with burna
- 20:50Speaker 11: phones on the internet, and there was no need to
- 20:52Speaker 11: dismember those bodies. That has been my working theory from
- 20:55Speaker 11: the beginning, and I'm going to stick with it at
- 20:57Speaker 11: this point. I can't. There's no going back. So the
- 21:00Speaker 11: issue that comes down to is we now have all
- 21:03Speaker 11: of the electronic records and I'm sure with this Atlantic
- 21:06Speaker 11: city trip that everybody's now focusing in on, you have
- 21:09Speaker 11: to pay tolls to get their easy pass records, cell
- 21:12Speaker 11: phone towers all along the way. We have all his phones,
- 21:14Speaker 11: or at least seven of them. So that digital evidence,
- 21:18Speaker 11: I think will kind of determine exactly what we're looking at,
- 21:22Speaker 11: if we're looking at all.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Okay, I want to have to process everything you just said,
- 21:25Speaker 1: except it's a huge data dump right there, and every
- 21:27Speaker 1: word of it was significant. Jen Smith joining me, Chief
- 21:31Speaker 1: investigative reporter, dailymail dot com. Jen, give me the framework,
- 21:37Speaker 1: the time framework of the Gilg Beach killings, the Gilg
- 21:42Speaker 1: four they started and stopped when I could just look
- 21:46Speaker 1: at my notes that I've made. Is this correct? Two
- 21:49Speaker 1: thousand and seven ten for Gilgo No.
- 21:52Speaker 9: Not quite the earliest that the girls went missing with
- 21:55Speaker 9: around two thousand and nine, but the bodies were all
- 21:58Speaker 9: discovered in two thousand.
- 22:00Speaker 1: But we know it's in that area. Two thousand and seven,
- 22:03Speaker 1: twenty ten. You're saying two thousand and nine correct. Here
- 22:07Speaker 1: comes my question, Eastbound Strangler. Everybody jump in. If these
- 22:11Speaker 1: numbers are If these dates are wrong, Eastbound Strangler two
- 22:14Speaker 1: thousand and six, is that the discovery of the Okay?
- 22:18Speaker 1: All right, so hold on, I'm working very slowly working
- 22:22Speaker 1: out something. Then we have the Manivald Butcher victims ninety
- 22:27Speaker 1: three ninety four.
- 22:29Speaker 6: Ish, right, that's correct.
- 22:32Speaker 1: There are also unattributed Long Island murder victims nineteen ninety
- 22:38Speaker 1: seven to two thousand and three. What I'm saying is
- 22:41Speaker 1: I have basically a linear line, speaking of redundancy, I
- 22:48Speaker 1: have a linear chronology of murders starting back in ninety three.
- 22:54Speaker 1: You got the Manibal Butcher murders in ninety three, starting
- 22:58Speaker 1: then where the bodies would be dismembered. Then from about
- 23:04Speaker 1: ninety seventy two thousand and three, multiple other victims two
- 23:08Speaker 1: thousand and six, East found strangler two thousand and seven
- 23:11Speaker 1: to twenty ten, the Guilgo victims. I mean, it just said, Okay,
- 23:19Speaker 1: you know what. Let me go to BERNARDA. Vielona, who
- 23:22Speaker 1: actually worked in the homicide bureau with one of the
- 23:26Speaker 1: guilt current Gilgo case prosecutors. She's a high profile criminal
- 23:31Speaker 1: defense attorney former prosecutor in New York and you can
- 23:35Speaker 1: find her at via Loona law dot com. BERNARDA, do
- 23:39Speaker 1: you remember the very first case you ever tried? You
- 23:42Speaker 1: don't need to tell me about it, but do you
- 23:44Speaker 1: remember absolutely?
- 23:45Speaker 2: Okayt absolutely and it was a cold case.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Do you remember the last case? Do you remember the
- 23:50Speaker 1: last case?
- 23:50Speaker 2: You tried to remember the first case in the last case,
- 23:53Speaker 2: but definitely the first case. It was cold case, and
- 23:55Speaker 2: cold cases are the most difficult cases.
- 23:58Speaker 1: How much did you improve? How much did I improve
- 24:02Speaker 1: from my first case of an attimpted shoplifting to the
- 24:06Speaker 1: last case where I had a serial killer. How much
- 24:09Speaker 1: did you hone your craft?
- 24:12Speaker 4: Oh my god, one hundred.
- 24:14Speaker 2: I mean I'm a different person now, a completely different person,
- 24:17Speaker 2: completely second attorney.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I'm getting a sign waved at me by Jackie Hueman.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Would have been twenty nine in nineteen ninety three. Okay, yes,
- 24:27Speaker 1: how old was Bundy? Wasn't he? And Doctor Bethany Marshall
- 24:31Speaker 1: jump in with me here, I'm trying to talk about
- 24:35Speaker 1: what I see as a chronological a very clear line.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, high profile psychoanalyst joining us out of
- 24:43Speaker 1: Beverly Hills where they're all worried about which designer bag
- 24:47Speaker 1: goes with which designer outfit. But hey, everybody's got problems.
- 24:50Speaker 1: You can find her at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany jump in, Well, here's what.
- 24:56Speaker 12: I think about the chronology. Sure, at the beginning, he's
- 24:59Speaker 12: just working up the courage to begin killing people, so
- 25:03Speaker 12: maybe he won't be as talented at it.
- 25:07Speaker 9: But see, one of the things we know about.
- 25:09Speaker 12: Serial killers, and and this is sort of in the literature,
- 25:12Speaker 12: and it's known in my field, is that they do
- 25:15Speaker 12: kill a few victims at a time, and then they
- 25:19Speaker 12: go underground and then they start they have another killing spree,
- 25:23Speaker 12: and then they go underground. And the question is why
- 25:26Speaker 12: is that. The reason that they do that is that
- 25:28Speaker 12: they have such prolific fantasy lives. Now, remember serial killing
- 25:33Speaker 12: is motivated by sex, right that the desire to inflict cruelty,
- 25:38Speaker 12: to kill in order to achieve sexual arousal. Well, because
- 25:42Speaker 12: these guys have such prolific fantasy lives, they can take
- 25:46Speaker 12: a trophy or a body part and they can fantasize,
- 25:49Speaker 12: they can think, they can go on the internet, they
- 25:51Speaker 12: can they can plan their next crime, and then they
- 25:55Speaker 12: pop up and then there's another cluster of killings. And
- 25:59Speaker 12: that's that's what I'm seeing in the chronology, is there
- 26:02Speaker 12: are clusters. You know, he kills like the sort of
- 26:05Speaker 12: the four women that are are faced east, and then
- 26:08Speaker 12: he goes underground again and then he pops up again.
- 26:10Speaker 4: The idea of this.
- 26:11Speaker 1: Three hour drive.
- 26:14Speaker 12: I sorry to keep bringing this back to sex, but
- 26:16Speaker 12: I think that sex addicts people are sexually compulsive. They
- 26:20Speaker 12: do drive a lot. They're looking just they masturbate a lot,
- 26:25Speaker 12: they fantasize a lot. They're looking for that right next
- 26:28Speaker 12: victim or person that they're going to hook up with.
- 26:32Speaker 12: So think of it as a compulsion. And there's a
- 26:35Speaker 12: lot of time spent in the compulsion. And also we're
- 26:39Speaker 12: just focusing on the people who died. He may have
- 26:43Speaker 12: been having sex with a lot of people every day,
- 26:46Speaker 12: hooking up a lot, dating a lot, you know, calling
- 26:50Speaker 12: women a lot.
- 26:51Speaker 2: So the deaths have.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Come to our attention.
- 26:54Speaker 12: Well, we have to remember that this is a man
- 26:56Speaker 12: who's thinking, acting, masturbating. Look in calling all the time.
- 27:01Speaker 12: There's this huge amount of energy.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Hey, let me throw something in there. Of course, the
- 27:06Speaker 1: guy's got seven burner phones plus his regular phone. What
- 27:10Speaker 1: do you think he's doing again, Ladies, your husband or
- 27:13Speaker 1: boyfriend gets a burner phone, you get a lawyer. Okay,
- 27:17Speaker 1: bye bye. But I'm thinking I'm not I'm in the
- 27:22Speaker 1: same boat with josh A Zemon. I'm ready to consider
- 27:28Speaker 1: the manial Butcher killings. I've got to know more about
- 27:33Speaker 1: the Eastbound strangler, although that mo modus operandi in Eastbound
- 27:39Speaker 1: seems more similar to me. The manival butcher puts body
- 27:45Speaker 1: parts of his dismember victims at Gilgo Beach with the
- 27:49Speaker 1: Gilgo for bodies and the other bodies found there. MENI
- 27:54Speaker 1: MENI bodies. I mean, are you ready to believe that
- 27:57Speaker 1: there's a coincidence that there's a serial kill convention and
- 28:01Speaker 1: several of them are leaving bodies there. Doctor Tim Gallagher
- 28:06Speaker 1: is with US Medical Examiner for the State of Florida.
- 28:09Speaker 1: You can find him at pathcaremed dot com. Lecturer University
- 28:12Speaker 1: of Florida Medical School and Forensic Medicine, Founder of the
- 28:17Speaker 1: International Forensic Medicine Death Investigation Conference. Just in a nutshell,
- 28:22Speaker 1: if that's possible. I mean, you studied what seven years
- 28:28Speaker 1: and med school, then the undergrad and the residency and
- 28:32Speaker 1: all that, and I ask you to put it in
- 28:33Speaker 1: a nutshell, Dr Gallagher, How hard is it truly difficult
- 28:38Speaker 1: to dismember a body?
- 28:40Speaker 13: Well, I think that's something important to talk about here, Nancy.
- 28:43Speaker 13: The way the body has been dismembered can also lead
- 28:47Speaker 13: to is it one killer or is it two? If
- 28:50Speaker 13: the body was surgically dismembered, for instance, if the knife.
- 28:54Speaker 13: If the knife was used and it was between the joints,
- 28:57Speaker 13: the person would have to know about anatomy and exactly
- 29:00Speaker 13: to cut it, so they would leave virtually no marks
- 29:04Speaker 13: on any of the bones with the knife. If the
- 29:07Speaker 13: person had used as say an electrical saw you know,
- 29:11Speaker 13: to cut through the bones. Just say, as a butcher,
- 29:15Speaker 13: would you know that can And if all the bodies
- 29:18Speaker 13: who were dismembered were dismembered in the same way, that
- 29:21Speaker 13: could lead to one or two killers. So it's important
- 29:26Speaker 13: to look at the ends of the bones when they're
- 29:28Speaker 13: found to see if the bones were surgically dissected from
- 29:31Speaker 13: each other, for instance, the knife was gone through the joints,
- 29:35Speaker 13: or if a electrical saw type device was used which
- 29:39Speaker 13: left teeth marks and damage to the bones while the
- 29:44Speaker 13: person was cutting through. If the damage to the bones
- 29:47Speaker 13: were the same in each of the body parts that
- 29:51Speaker 13: were found, then we could attribute that to the same person,
- 29:56Speaker 13: you know. So, but as far as dismembering a person,
- 30:00Speaker 13: it takes a lot of energy. It's a lot a
- 30:02Speaker 13: lot of energy. It's it's not for the meek, it's
- 30:05Speaker 13: not for somebody who is weak. It's and the actual
- 30:12Speaker 13: pattern to look for will help you decide whether it's
- 30:15Speaker 13: one or two killers.
- 30:16Speaker 1: You know, online everyone is not everyone. A lot of
- 30:19Speaker 1: people are saying, oh, it's just like Dexter. It's not
- 30:21Speaker 1: just like Dexter number one. That's pretend number one. Number
- 30:27Speaker 1: two Dexter was killing bad guys. This guy is killing, stalking,
- 30:33Speaker 1: torturing and killing women and children. Because isn't there a child?
- 30:41Speaker 1: Wasn't there a child found Jen Smith or the Eastbound Strangler, Yeah.
- 30:46Speaker 4: There was.
- 30:46Speaker 9: It wasn't the eastbund strangler, Nancy. It was one of
- 30:49Speaker 9: the Manorville victims. There was a toddler friend with the
- 30:53Speaker 9: mother Peaches correct. Yeah, so the mother is unidentified the
- 30:58Speaker 9: Jane Doe and investigators obvious, they were so struck by
- 31:02Speaker 9: the tragedy of this they didn't want to refer to
- 31:04Speaker 9: a toddler girl as a Jane Doe, so they came
- 31:07Speaker 9: up with the name Peaches for her. And I mean, yeah,
- 31:12Speaker 9: that would have been the Manavilla Butcher.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Thank you guys speaking out of the Manifld Butcher. Takelis
- 31:19Speaker 1: knock cut one thirty nine ABC seven.
- 31:21Speaker 4: Today, we are announcing that Jane Doe number six.
- 31:24Speaker 8: Has been positively identified as Valerie Mac.
- 31:28Speaker 7: It has been twenty years since the family of Valerie
- 31:30Speaker 7: Mac has seen her smile or hurt her laugh. The
- 31:34Speaker 7: twenty four year old was last seen in the spring
- 31:36Speaker 7: of two thousand, about one hundred miles away from Philly.
- 31:39Speaker 7: In November of that year, the partial remains of a
- 31:42Speaker 7: woman were found in Manorville. More than ten years later,
- 31:45Speaker 7: more remains were discovered in Gilgo Beach State Park in
- 31:48Speaker 7: April of twenty eleven.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Gilgo, Gilgo, Gilgo. We keep hearing Gilgo dead bodies, body parts,
- 31:57Speaker 1: and there's another similarity. Take a listen to our friends
- 32:01Speaker 1: at pix eleven in our cut one four.
- 32:03Speaker 14: Two, Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack, another dismembered victim found
- 32:08Speaker 14: in Manerville, were tied to the Gilgo Beach serial killer
- 32:12Speaker 14: or killers. Two law enforcement sources told me they were
- 32:15Speaker 14: tied up in a very cruel way, one saying their
- 32:19Speaker 14: leg area was bound in a ball. You'd have to
- 32:21Speaker 14: be a hunter to do something like that. The second
- 32:25Speaker 14: source said the knees were brought into their chest area.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Josh Zeeman, joining us director of the Killing Season, an
- 32:33Speaker 1: eight part series on the Gilg killer and ties to
- 32:38Speaker 1: other victims in the area. Weren't the Gilgo victims bound
- 32:43Speaker 1: as well?
- 32:44Speaker 6: Yeah? In fact, one was bound with a belt, So
- 32:50Speaker 6: the bounding is similar for sure. You know that's another
- 32:53Speaker 6: big issue. I mean, how are body parts being left
- 32:56Speaker 6: in Manorville? The same body parts being left in Gilgo Beach.
- 33:00Speaker 6: It's just too coincidental.
- 33:02Speaker 1: How far is Mannerabal from Gilgo Beach?
- 33:06Speaker 6: Fifty miles? Joe, how far is it?
- 33:09Speaker 11: Yeah, I was gonna say about anywhere from forty to
- 33:11Speaker 11: forty five miles.
- 33:12Speaker 1: And listen, forty five miles an hour, an hour and
- 33:16Speaker 1: a half maybe in the car, but late at night,
- 33:20Speaker 1: cut that down to fifty minutes one hour. If you
- 33:24Speaker 1: had to get rid of a dead body, how far
- 33:27Speaker 1: would you drive in the middle of the night to
- 33:30Speaker 1: do that. I would definitely drive at least an hour
- 33:34Speaker 1: or two hours or three hours to get rid of
- 33:37Speaker 1: a dead body. I'm curious about, Well, it would be
- 33:41Speaker 1: on his way home, explained.
- 33:43Speaker 11: It would be on his way home. So if he
- 33:46Speaker 11: was whoever's response to letters say it's the suspect they
- 33:49Speaker 11: have now on the way going to matter Billy, you
- 33:51Speaker 11: would just pop down onto the Sagetos, go all the
- 33:54Speaker 11: way down to the Southern State, right over the Robert
- 33:56Speaker 11: Moses right into Gilgo Gilgo, right into the Walstow Parkway
- 33:59Speaker 11: right now, write I mean, it's just it's just you know,
- 34:04Speaker 11: it's a direct route. I mean, And Josh would say
- 34:06Speaker 11: you too. For of us who grew up on Long Island.
- 34:08Speaker 11: I mean, you just don't find Gilgo Beach. It's not
- 34:10Speaker 11: like you can stumble upon it. You have to know
- 34:12Speaker 11: it's there. So it's just to me, it's just interesting
- 34:15Speaker 11: because when you look at a map and you look
- 34:17Speaker 11: at where Manerville is in Hampstead Lake State Park and
- 34:19Speaker 11: everything else in Massa Peaka, now it all comes into
- 34:22Speaker 11: a into a circle.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Okay, that is incredibly primitive or proves something to me, Joe,
- 34:29Speaker 1: are you telling me that humans and again he has
- 34:32Speaker 1: not been charged in Manibal or Eastbound? We're exploring the similarities.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Are you telling me Jack alone that humans drive home
- 34:46Speaker 1: goes through Gilgo and Mannible.
- 34:48Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying is that if you look
- 34:50Speaker 11: at the map, you look at where he lives, and
- 34:51Speaker 11: look at where the bodies are recovered and the parts
- 34:54Speaker 11: of the bodies are covered, It's it's basically like an
- 34:57Speaker 11: oval or a circle. So you can connec with dods
- 35:00Speaker 11: and put them all within that oval, and you know,
- 35:02Speaker 11: be able to try to pinpoint it. And that's what
- 35:04Speaker 11: we've seen investigators do already with even the cell phone
- 35:07Speaker 11: records where they pinpointed him down at the Massa Peaquay
- 35:09Speaker 11: into Manhattan, and I think they're going to try to
- 35:12Speaker 11: do the same thing with these cases. Just that do
- 35:14Speaker 11: they have the records from way back when? I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 11: we know they don't have them from the ninety six cases,
- 35:18Speaker 11: in the ninety seven cases because it was still I
- 35:21Speaker 11: don't think they got anything back then, because I don't
- 35:23Speaker 11: think much of this existed. So the issue that comes
- 35:26Speaker 11: down to is you can make it. You can make
- 35:28Speaker 11: a point.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Okay, coming from someone with no accent at all me,
- 35:34Speaker 1: could you slow down your New York keys and tell
- 35:38Speaker 1: me what you identify on the map as a would
- 35:42Speaker 1: be route by hereman or Let's just pretend the killer
- 35:46Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 35:47Speaker 11: It depends on where he's picking these girls up. But
- 35:49Speaker 11: if you look at Manorvil, you can make a direct
- 35:52Speaker 11: line right to Gilgo Beach right from Manerville. If you
- 35:55Speaker 11: if you come from Messapequa, you can make a direct
- 35:58Speaker 11: route to Gilgo, no problem them. You make a good
- 36:01Speaker 11: direct route at Hempstead Lake State Park be home within
- 36:04Speaker 11: half an hour back and forth. And of course, anybody
- 36:08Speaker 11: who's ever written in the Southern State Parkway knows that
- 36:11Speaker 11: timing is everything. So if you're doing this in the
- 36:12Speaker 11: middle of the night. You're you're pretty good. If you're
- 36:14Speaker 11: trying to do this at three o'clock in the afternoon,
- 36:16Speaker 11: it'll take you a long time to do so. But
- 36:19Speaker 11: it's plaudible.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Gray, will a scripted program produced
- 36:36Speaker 1: by fifty Cents, shine a light on even more murders
- 36:40Speaker 1: at the hands of Long Island serial killer Rex Hureman.
- 36:45Speaker 1: This as details of his secret plea deal exposed. While
- 36:51Speaker 1: human stood calmly in court in a suit and tie,
- 36:54Speaker 1: his hands and ankles shackled. His victims' family's watched from
- 36:58Speaker 1: the sideline, and his Asa Ellrope was there as well,
- 37:03Speaker 1: counting the money she'll make from her reality show The
- 37:07Speaker 1: DA now stating if there had been a weak case,
- 37:10Speaker 1: he did not think that Humman would ever have played guilty.
- 37:15Speaker 1: As part of the pla negotiations, the prosecutor says he
- 37:19Speaker 1: and Humeman sat down and met face to face. It
- 37:24Speaker 1: was there Hureman accept a responsibility for the murders of
- 37:29Speaker 1: eight victims covered by the plea, But how many more
- 37:34Speaker 1: victims are there out there? Josh Zeeman, filmmaker, producer, director
- 37:39Speaker 1: of the Killing season in eight part series on Gilgo,
- 37:43Speaker 1: Josh I'm thinking about what he's saying regarding the route
- 37:50Speaker 1: and what he said that you'd have to know the
- 37:54Speaker 1: area to even find Gilgo Beach. Everybody pause and think
- 37:59Speaker 1: of a play place in your hometown, a place not
- 38:04Speaker 1: many people would know about that a local only somebody
- 38:08Speaker 1: that lived in that area would know. What do you
- 38:12Speaker 1: make of that, Josh, someone that knows Manival, that knows Gilgo,
- 38:18Speaker 1: that knows the state park.
- 38:20Speaker 6: Nancy, I think we can get even more specific than that.
- 38:23Speaker 6: We know he's a hunter. We know he had what
- 38:26Speaker 6: two hundred and ninety five guns and probably other hunting implements.
- 38:30Speaker 6: We know that he buried the GB four in camouflage,
- 38:36Speaker 6: so we know he's a hunter. We know he's a
- 38:38Speaker 6: duck hunter. He knows Gilgo because he went hunting there,
- 38:42Speaker 6: and some of the other victims who were found in
- 38:44Speaker 6: Manerville were found by hunters, So I believe he knows
- 38:48Speaker 6: both areas from his hunting. The question is what is
- 38:51Speaker 6: he hunting?
- 38:52Speaker 1: Okay, you just gave me a lot of critical information.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Would you say that one more time? Place, Well, the
- 38:56Speaker 1: question is the hunting aspect. Actually, I've got hunters on
- 39:00Speaker 1: my notes, It says one investigator saying there a leg area.
- 39:06Speaker 1: This is mannable victims. Their leg area was bound in
- 39:09Speaker 1: a ball. You'd have to be a hunter to do
- 39:13Speaker 1: something like that. That was their quote. Okay, would you
- 39:19Speaker 1: tell me that again, Please just that.
- 39:21Speaker 6: The reason one of the reasons why he knows these
- 39:23Speaker 6: areas outside of being a long islander is because he's
- 39:27Speaker 6: a hunter. We know he's a hunter. We know he's
- 39:29Speaker 6: a duck hunter. We know he had a huge collection
- 39:31Speaker 6: of weapons, hunting implements. We know that the Gilgo Beach
- 39:36Speaker 6: four were wrapped in burlap camo, so Gilgo Beach duck
- 39:42Speaker 6: hunters use it, and even a hunter found one of
- 39:46Speaker 6: the victims in Manorville. So I think hunting kind of
- 39:50Speaker 6: ties this all together. You know, are we hunting individuals
- 39:53Speaker 6: or are we hunting animals? There's just a lot of
- 39:56Speaker 6: connections to the idea of being a hunter.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Bernardo, who's being unusually quiet today via Luna you hone,
- 40:06Speaker 1: you hone. Okay, here's a simple comparison. In my first
- 40:10Speaker 1: jury trial, I thought that's when women thought they had
- 40:13Speaker 1: to dress link men. I had on the shirt up
- 40:15Speaker 1: to my chin, the long sleeves, the long sleeved jacket,
- 40:20Speaker 1: the skirt, the weirdly ivory hose, the flats, my hair
- 40:28Speaker 1: up on my head, and one of those fake ties
- 40:31Speaker 1: that women used to wear, like a rosette or something
- 40:33Speaker 1: stuck in my throat. By that was the week the
- 40:35Speaker 1: air condition went out in the Folding County Courthouse and
- 40:37Speaker 1: I was on the fifth floor. By the time that
- 40:41Speaker 1: trial was over, my hair was on one side of
- 40:44Speaker 1: my head, had all black eyeliner coming down my face.
- 40:47Speaker 1: The jacket was gone, the shirt was untacked. I don't
- 40:49Speaker 1: know what happened to that rosette. Long story short, simply put,
- 40:55Speaker 1: I adapted. I changed the way I gave it clothing,
- 40:58Speaker 1: the way I did directs, a cross exams. Everything changes.
- 41:02Speaker 1: But Nancy, he could have honed his craft, is that.
- 41:07Speaker 4: Yes, Nancy?
- 41:07Speaker 2: So you have to think, we don't know when human
- 41:11Speaker 2: started his little serial killing. We don't know where's starting.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Where was his first kill, who was his first killed,
- 41:18Speaker 2: Where did it happen, When did it happen? So what
- 41:21Speaker 2: we encountered is just the gil Go Beach murders, and
- 41:24Speaker 2: that being the four women. But he's only charged for three.
- 41:27Speaker 2: And these are the questions in the clues that investigators
- 41:30Speaker 2: are trying to find and those questions that we've been
- 41:34Speaker 2: talking about all day are the same things that investigators
- 41:37Speaker 2: are like, wait, could it have started in this area?
- 41:40Speaker 2: Could have started New Jersey, could have started in South Carolina,
- 41:43Speaker 2: could have started in the bottom where's the first kill?
- 41:46Speaker 2: Because there's no way that you start right with Gilgo.
- 41:49Speaker 2: There's something more to it. You started simple, with a
- 41:52Speaker 2: simpler murder than just this, because this seems to have
- 41:55Speaker 2: been well planned. When you're talking about getting these bodies
- 41:58Speaker 2: to gil Go Beachhi're bite.
- 42:00Speaker 4: And he'd like to jump in about the hunting.
- 42:03Speaker 12: You know, people who have compulsions tend to have habits
- 42:07Speaker 12: that relate to the compulsion. So let's say he has
- 42:10Speaker 12: a compulsion to kill, compulsion to inflict cruelty. So the
- 42:14Speaker 12: hunting is related to the compulsion, just like somebody who's
- 42:17Speaker 12: an alcoholic may begin to uh make craft beers, right,
- 42:24Speaker 12: because that is related to the compulsion. So he probably
- 42:28Speaker 12: had a lot of activities in his life, you know,
- 42:31Speaker 12: the the idea of dismembering the bodies, whether that was
- 42:34Speaker 12: for pleasure, sexual pleasure, or also because he was trying
- 42:38Speaker 12: to cover his tracks, It was probably.
- 42:40Speaker 2: A little bit of both.
- 42:41Speaker 12: You know, did he do would work. I hate to say,
- 42:43Speaker 12: I mean, I hate to be so cross about it,
- 42:46Speaker 12: but I'm sure we're going to learn that he has
- 42:48Speaker 12: a lot of habits that relate to his compulsions.
- 42:51Speaker 4: Hey, Nancy, can I get back.
- 42:52Speaker 1: To my perfect I just wanted to point out classic
- 42:56Speaker 1: example Ted Bundy. He started picking up for women that Oh,
- 43:04Speaker 1: I'm so happy Ted Bundy start off, there's another aspect
- 43:09Speaker 1: to Bundy. I bet this was not what you were
- 43:11Speaker 1: going to say. He started picking up female university students,
- 43:16Speaker 1: but then he shifted and no longer was picking up
- 43:20Speaker 1: university students. In the end, he went back to murdering
- 43:23Speaker 1: them in their place. But at the beginning he tried
- 43:25Speaker 1: to pick them up. But I bet you've got a
- 43:27Speaker 1: different change in mo I do's.
- 43:30Speaker 10: He dismembered some of his victims, he strangled some with pantyhose,
- 43:34Speaker 10: and then he picked up a log and performed blunt
- 43:36Speaker 10: force trauma.
- 43:38Speaker 4: The mo can change. He can fool.
- 43:40Speaker 10: You because his fantasies will also change. Ted Bundy had
- 43:45Speaker 10: adults primarily, and then all of a sudden he has
- 43:47Speaker 10: a twelve year old child. It does change. So, for example,
- 43:51Speaker 10: when we're looking at these different pockets of victims that
- 43:56Speaker 10: were taken from a similar area. Look at the Asian male.
- 44:00Speaker 10: The Asian male was found wearing women's clothing.
- 44:03Speaker 4: My question is whose clothes were they?
- 44:06Speaker 10: Because all the other victims were found nude, he wasn't,
- 44:10Speaker 10: So I want to know when he googled the Asian
- 44:13Speaker 10: tink was that before or after the murder? That timeline
- 44:16Speaker 10: is going to be crucial in telling you his mindset
- 44:20Speaker 10: with that murder.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Speaking of m A modus operandi method of operation, take
- 44:24Speaker 1: a listener cut one two six and one two seven
- 44:28Speaker 1: from the Killing season. Listen.
- 44:31Speaker 15: There were in all ten bodies that were found a
- 44:35Speaker 15: Long Ocean parkway. Some were dismembered and some were found intact.
- 44:41Speaker 15: The Gilgo Beach four, which is the three women plus
- 44:45Speaker 15: one that Rex was has been arrested for. They were
- 44:48Speaker 15: all found intact. So the police kind of because of
- 44:50Speaker 15: that MO, they basically grouped them together and they called
- 44:53Speaker 15: them the Gilgo Beach four. The question becomes, what about
- 44:58Speaker 15: these other six vicvictims? Dismemberment it's different m O. And
- 45:03Speaker 15: this is hard to talk about, but is it the
- 45:06Speaker 15: same killer or is it different? You know, some experts
- 45:09Speaker 15: would say that it's completely different. Other people would say, no,
- 45:14Speaker 15: this guy was just dismembering body parts in the beginning,
- 45:18Speaker 15: and then he got lazy because he didn't get caught,
- 45:21Speaker 15: and then was leaving bodies whole. So that's where this
- 45:24Speaker 15: whole confusion comes from.
- 45:26Speaker 1: Okay, you're hearing our new friend Josh Zeeman speaking. Explain
- 45:31Speaker 1: to me. Josh and Phil, don't feel fenced in or
- 45:37Speaker 1: limited by my question. Explain to me when you said
- 45:42Speaker 1: he just got lazy.
- 45:43Speaker 6: I mean that's a question that has been brought up.
- 45:45Speaker 6: And look, I'm not an expert. We have a lot
- 45:46Speaker 6: of experts on this panel who know far more than
- 45:49Speaker 6: I do. I'm just a documentarian, but I do.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Want Can I stop right there? Zaemon? You've done an
- 45:54Speaker 1: eight part series on the Gilgo Beach killer and ties
- 45:57Speaker 1: to other victims, so I think, go ahead.
- 46:01Speaker 6: Okay, So the question just becomes and I throw this
- 46:03Speaker 6: out to the rest of the panel. Do we have
- 46:07Speaker 6: examples of serial killers basically getting lazy? I mean they
- 46:11Speaker 6: take all these early forensic countermeasures. Yes, could the dismemberment
- 46:17Speaker 6: be part of some type of pleasure as well? Is
- 46:20Speaker 6: it also a forensic countermeasure? And then you know he
- 46:23Speaker 6: doesn't get caught for so long. We're talking about nineteen
- 46:26Speaker 6: ninety three, when the first started, nineteen ninety six, when
- 46:29Speaker 6: the first victim fire Island Jane Doe disappeared, going all
- 46:33Speaker 6: the way to when the Gilgo Beach FOURD disappeared about
- 46:36Speaker 6: ten twelve years later. So could he get lazy? That's
- 46:40Speaker 6: my question? Could he change his mo because hey, he
- 46:43Speaker 6: just wasn't caught.
- 46:45Speaker 10: Nancy, I'd like to answer that.
- 46:47Speaker 1: Could I stop him?
- 46:48Speaker 10: He didn't go ahead, He didn't get lazy, He got comfortable.
- 46:53Speaker 10: There's a difference. We see it in law enforcement. Sometimes
- 46:56Speaker 10: you get very comfortable in your zone among your people,
- 47:00Speaker 10: and maybe you're not on a you know, on a
- 47:02Speaker 10: swivel looking for problems to being situationally aware. This man
- 47:08Speaker 10: full time researched Google, read about downloaded torture poor, He
- 47:15Speaker 10: drove extensively looking for places peaking dumping grounds. He contacted
- 47:21Speaker 10: sex workers all the time. This was something he did
- 47:26Speaker 10: full time. He was absolutely not lazy.
- 47:31Speaker 1: As I may, I was just going to you, Chief
- 47:33Speaker 1: investigative reporter, dailymail dot Com. I was going to ask
- 47:36Speaker 1: you a different question. But let's hear what you were
- 47:37Speaker 1: going to say.
- 47:38Speaker 9: Well, that's a really important, crucial point. The reason that
- 47:40Speaker 9: they hauled ras here him and because they felt as
- 47:44Speaker 9: if their investigation was complete, it was because he was
- 47:47Speaker 9: continuing to contact sex workers, using burner phones and making
- 47:51Speaker 9: arrangements to meet with more women. So investigators were frankly
- 47:55Speaker 9: terrified that he might strike again. He'd been they were
- 47:59Speaker 9: watching him a year before they brought him in, and
- 48:02Speaker 9: he was continuing.
- 48:03Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, Jen Smith, I read every single thing
- 48:06Speaker 1: you write about this on dailymail dot com and far
- 48:09Speaker 1: far beyond. I want you to explain what you just
- 48:12Speaker 1: said about how he was continuing to contact sex workers
- 48:16Speaker 1: up to the time of his arrest. But I saw
- 48:19Speaker 1: the photo that you first published of Rex Huerman in
- 48:26Speaker 1: a cell phone oh store buying additional minutes. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 48:32Speaker 1: buying additional minutes. At least I think I saw it
- 48:35Speaker 1: on delim buying additional minutes for his burner phone. If
- 48:40Speaker 1: David Lynch popped up on video at a cell phone
- 48:43Speaker 1: store buying more minutes for his burner phone, oh yeah,
- 48:48Speaker 1: I'm changing the locks then that minute? And what else
- 48:52Speaker 1: is he gonna do on a burner phone? That's his
- 48:55Speaker 1: mo O. But now you are adding to that and saying,
- 48:58Speaker 1: not only was he buying the additional minutes, he's caught
- 49:01Speaker 1: down the water on that. But we know for a
- 49:03Speaker 1: fact he was contacting sex workers up until the time
- 49:07Speaker 1: of his arrest. And that woman, I believe she said
- 49:10Speaker 1: July four, July seven, he approached her in a very
- 49:15Speaker 1: aggressive manner out in the public park. She got so
- 49:18Speaker 1: afraid that she called her sister and said, I need
- 49:21Speaker 1: to come home right now, right. It was all happening
- 49:24Speaker 1: up until the moment of his arrest.
- 49:25Speaker 9: Absolutely know he was brazen. He did not feel like
- 49:30Speaker 9: he had anything to worry about, and he was continuing
- 49:33Speaker 9: to behave in a way that he had been for decades.
- 49:38Speaker 9: I mean, they really were worried about him striking again.
- 49:41Speaker 9: That's why they arrested him. You know where they arrested
- 49:45Speaker 9: him outside his office in Manhattan. They did that away
- 49:49Speaker 9: from the home where he kept two hundred and seventy
- 49:52Speaker 9: nine or two hundred and ninety five firearms. They were
- 49:55Speaker 9: worried about standoff, Nancy. That's why they hold him in.
- 49:57Speaker 9: This guy was dangerous, you know what.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Just zero in on something that we're all talking about.
- 50:02Speaker 1: You know, Cheryl McCollum, you say, tomato let's just say
- 50:06Speaker 1: I say tomato, you say tomato. But Zeeman, Josh Zeeman
- 50:11Speaker 1: says he got lazy, you say he got comfortable. Joe,
- 50:15Speaker 1: Jacquelone and bernarda Violona with me, Joe, isn't that always
- 50:21Speaker 1: the way? I mean, the first time I backed out
- 50:25Speaker 1: of our garage and nearly took off the side mirror, Well,
- 50:28Speaker 1: guess what, I don't even slow down. Now you become comfortable.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Some people might call it lazy, but isn't that the
- 50:36Speaker 1: way it always happens?
- 50:37Speaker 11: Well, I don't know if.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Go ahead, Joe, Jackoelone.
- 50:41Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know if it's always that way. But
- 50:44Speaker 11: I always try to find because I have actually investigated
- 50:47Speaker 11: these kinds of cases, and you try to find where
- 50:50Speaker 11: that first or second one happened, because that's the time
- 50:54Speaker 11: when this individual made the most mistakes, and that's where you,
- 50:57Speaker 11: as an investigator, try to exploit that.
- 50:59Speaker 1: So right, and so.
- 51:02Speaker 11: We get arrogant.
- 51:03Speaker 12: Criminals never think they're going to get caught. I mean,
- 51:06Speaker 12: that's just the thing. I mean, when even with white
- 51:08Speaker 12: collar crimes, we see that increasingly they fail.
- 51:12Speaker 2: That's sit right there. That's it right there, is that
- 51:16Speaker 2: they never think they're going to get caught, and you
- 51:18Speaker 2: have to think that Rex Hureman, Remember he had over
- 51:22Speaker 2: a ten year had start on us because he did
- 51:24Speaker 2: not become a suspect until just last year, twenty twenty two.
- 51:28Speaker 2: So of course he thought he wasn't going to get caught.
- 51:30Speaker 2: That's why he continued acting the way that he was
- 51:33Speaker 2: acting and why the prosecution and law enforcement had to
- 51:36Speaker 2: move in to stop them, because they saw that he
- 51:38Speaker 2: was about to kill again.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Is Rex human responsible for many many more murders? We
- 51:44Speaker 1: wait as justice unfolds. Nancy gray sonning Off
