#GilgoBeach #Crime #Murder
Wonder if he was always looking over his shoulder for his heinous crimes.
Probably not
Drug dealers are killing people 24 7, living the high life thanks to friends
59 years old is well beyond the typical age for serial killers, but since the crimes go back more than a decade he was more like mid 40’s during the last murders. Apparently his killings extended over a period of about 26 years which would mean he was about 20 when he started which is more in line with typical serial killers.
The psych profile they created on the killer a decade ago is uncanny in its resemblance to Rex Heuermann.
@Dolly GottingsRead an interview with young woman who filed recent police report on Heuermann for extra creepy behavior.
When she saw him on the news she said she shrieked. I can only imagine that it could have been me emotion.
Now they say the wifes hair was found also
Good chance there are other dump sites over the “quiet years” too 45-59. This is usually obsessive, sometimes impulsive but always compulsive
@MortalClown I have literally been traumatized by this news story. And yes, I feel like it could have been me. I have really felt sick and refused to get on the computer yesterday all day to get a break from it so I could think about other things and get back to normal. But it keeps creeping back into my mind. especially when other people talk about it. I am going to church today and will say a few prayers about it today but have decided not to talk about it. I just want to forget about it again. And move on.

48 Hours show
I don’t see it. This guy? Feels more like a setup by the department to protect themselves.
American Psycho/ Jason Bateman type shhhhh
Foul play? Passing the buck? We still don’t have the facts or evidence to draw a conclusion on this individual.
“Correct pronunciation s/b “Hoyerman”
Sounds like the city being under enormous pressure finally found a potential PATSY! City and lying PD are using MSM to defame, discredit and ostracize their selected PERF! Hopefully, but unlikely the actual factual truth will ever come out. Can’t wait till another version of their fabricated sensationalized narrative is leaked.
I cant believe they finally found him. I watched as they dug up body after body on t.v.
Here’s a video of him being interviewed last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbQOcEs3aZg&t=0s
So Shall It Be
Wow. He’s not poor, not homeless, not black or brown, not an immigrant, not transgender, not a drag queen, and not LGBTQ… this can’t be right 🤔😂
Says who, you?
@Tenebrass Golliatt it’s called Google. We have a name, picture, and job title, so he was pretty easy to find. The internetz is for a lot more than conspiracy theories.
@Katie Darcy
It did hurts back there, isn’t?
Hope this comment ages well.
I predict he’s killed way more than 4 women. We shall see
How can you live with yourself after taking someone’s life? I never understand that.
You don’t live with yourself after killing another human. You see them every night. That’s why assassins are paid so much.
Some people can’t they end up turning themselves in or killing themselves. It happens a fair bit.
Some people are just wired differently. There’s good evidence of this from fMRI studies.
Ask MASS MURDERER IQ45.
@Sam Clemmons If you’re interested in the different kinds of humans left alive on this planet, that’s something I’m part of. As far as referencing your “some people are just wired differently”, I’ll mention Professor Marshall McCluhan, who had two aorta from his heart to his brain. He invented the term “global village” and wrote “The Medium is The Message”. Nuff said.
10? Those are rookie numbers.
Thats why they “dont judge the book by it’s cover. But police dept does it all the time”.
*_Gilgo beach is less than 5 miles from his house too!! So it could be him.._*
I think this reporting is not accurate. I think the woman Shannon Gilbert was a missing person when the police searched the area because she was last seen near there and they found the remains of other women. b
Usual suspect
https://youtube.com/shorts/4KE8yOV9Ptk?feature=share
RIP innocent victims. What an absolute Horror nightmare these people in his area have been living.
The devil just lost one of his chief advisors on earth. Years ago I imagine someone advised Heuermann to look in the mirror and shoot who he sees. He didn’t take the opportunity to do the right thing then, so now he’ll chase his shadow until the vultures in the slammer devour him — at which time he’ll descend into eternity and Satan’s hot embrace. I hope the loved ones of the women who lost their lives because of him have some modicum of closure now that this wicked human is off the streets.
How many
serial killers
on Long Island ?
Glad they got that thug off of the streets. Usual suspect!
If he lived in Massapequa Park, how could he have been involved with the murder where the young woman was wandering around Gilgo Beach?
Men protecting men over the safety and lives of women.
This is amazing they caught this serial killer take too long to solved because he was killing more people’s thank God he is in custody .
The demons of this world don’t wear horns. They wear a suit and a tie and are sometimes a billionaire President!😢
The task force was formed under the direction of the Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney.
I don’t know about this. He’s innocent until proven guilty. Where’s the evidence? I’m sure that a lot of the possible evidence is tainted and can’t be used at this juncture. This is like the fake suspect in the Madeline McCann case. That German guy was used as a scapegoat.
Registered Republican 🐘.
Becoz of netflix
Is this American News? Where’s the White people?
African Chinese News?
Usual suspect
I always thought the one who did this was police trained because they obviously were able to outsmart aby efforts to track or stop this. I also thought who ever did this must have been physically fit too to carry bodies into swamp and think areas. I hope this is the guy.. I have followed this case since 2011. It makes no sense to me that different ppl not connected to each other did this..also I had read that they found things in the area that went back to the 90s. So I hope all this comes to light..
They trashed MTV now their trashing the news.
Why is his face so black?
so he was in his late 30s when he started his murder spree.. new episode of catching killers
You don’t have a home “in” Long Island. You have one ON Long Island. You can always tell who’s from the area and who isn’t.
The wall would have stopped this!!!
Another MAGA criminal.
Finally
Great job by law enforcement. Now maybe New York ought to start paying them. Just a notion.
upstanding citizen
I think they’ve known about this guy for a very long time. If he was black they would have broke into his house years ago and shot him in his sleep
Yet we can’t figure out who brought cocaine into the WH? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🌎
If he is, he needs to get the death penalty. Ten times
Humanity is one class act.
Let me tell you…..if this guy isn’t the guy who did it……he is going to sue the balls of new york and make 100s of millions of dollars “edit” ( now with his wife DNA hairs evidence and his he probably did it)
stupid 2:40
I wonder if they got him through familial dna or got a sample from him like a discarded cup or cigarette?
Pizza 🍕 box
Pizza crust
Can’t find out who brought coke in the white house though
We moved to Pennsylvania just north of Baltimore in March 2010, and first reports were just about all we saw on the news. I hope this is the answer for the victims’ loved ones.
@Janissary As an architect, he’s probably wealthy. That would always make being a serial killer easier. I would hope they’ve looked for similar cases in Maryland and surrounding states.
Wow… looks like Rex belongs deep, deep beneath the prison.
Dunno guys-he just seems like a regular ol’ “very stable genius” to me–maybe gotta lil bit of a BigMac and DietCoke habit happening, who knows? Look, there’s very fine people on BOTH sides. He’s the kinda dude who who might just put UV light up his rear and eat chlorine Tide pods to fight COVID. Redraw hurricane maps with a sharpie. Get a little loose in locker rooms. This guy clearly has the tiny little hands, mannerisms, arrogance, demeanor, weird hair, and orange patina of a certain….let’s just say, he’s Making America Rethink their Banal Blowhards-NOT A FAN!!! We’ll see what happens. Seems like a big HOAX. Maybe a WITCH HUNT. So maybe he’s just got a little thing for Slavic broads. He never sore any of dose women. Not his type. Framed by lefty pizza crust, already. What about the emails and the laptop? No crime here, no collusion. Losers.
Commendations to the police and various teams that worked relentlessly to capture this perpetrator.
Lurch looking 👀😮
If it were prostitutes, then good. Someone needs to clean up again since Gary has been gone.
🤣
Can’t wait for the netflix documentary
Serial killers don’t just stop killing after 6. I’m sure there’s more that they didn’t record going more recent than 10 years ago.
An architect, a husband, a father ? But with his mask down, a Killer is his actual identity. How terrifying !
Heard he owns properties in Maryland.
Probably the most religious person at his church or synagogue.
I love pizzas.
Rex Heuermann’s DNA was tied to one of the murders through a discarded pizza box, according to a bail application. (Suffolk County District Attorney)
When I watched “Lost Girls” in Netflix, I knew the serial killer of long island was about to be caught.
Let’s not rush to judgment😊😊😊, folks. Captain Burke of the SCPD was the main suspect up until today, when the cops conspired to plant evidence against this creepy weirdo. Jussayin.
Most serial killers have families and great careers making them unsuspecting. SMH JUST LOOK AT HIM!!! I don’t think he acted alone – there’s someone who knows something – May their souls rest in perfect peace. Shout out to Rodney Harrison who made it his goal to have this case solved 🍻🍻🍻🍻 shout out to the Suffolk Police, State Police, FBI . Sheriff’s office and all who aided in his investigation. David Burke should be grilled for not having this case solved with the help of the FBI back then. SHAME ON YOU David Burke. You go RODNEY HARRISON YOU ROCK!!!!!!
I live on the North Shore in Nassau County. Robert Moses State Park is a place I often go to. One way of getting there is to drive past the Gilgo Beach area where lots of marshy places exist.
Gilgo Beach was probably just one of his dumping grounds
wishing the victims’ loved ones peace and strength, hope they got the right guy.
I hope he’s guilty of all the murders. I think he is.
Suspect, doubt, not enough, there’s more homicides out on the beach. Something more is missing.😮
The sheer evil in society never ceases to amaze me. We live in such a sick world.
PIZZA CAME FROM SERAFINA😢 55TH BROADWAY..CRUST WAS TO HARD..KHAN MADE IT
what is weird about it ? All serial killers was married with kids,good job,going to church ,serial killer can not be somebody else,cuse they need to be seeing like normal people in society then people are not suspicious about them
The norm in America!
Man mountain, not man. How tall is he?
They Hunt women and children, brute Savage beast.
Wow that guy looks like a hard 59!
They did they job !!!
I’m getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch.
He looks the part
they arrested him and took him home, why is that?
Eventually they get comfortable and get caught
We walk amongst MONSTERS Everyday and Don’t even KNOW It. I Pray GOD Reveals these Horrible Monster’s to Us. R.I.P. to the Women whom Lost their lives because their paths crossed with this Disgusting Monster.
IT ONLY TOOK 13 YEARS; WAY TO GO.
Ratchet Rex must pay!
Theres much, much more to this.
Spend the next 40 years in isolation at Camp Guantanamo.
So many of these Serial killers all with similar MO all from the US. Wonder what is going wrong in America?
I never thought they’d find the guy.
Busted his educated xxx 👎
He doesnt look like a killer .
