How Many Souls Saw Rex Heuerman Before Their Death?
Sep 06, 2023, 05:00 PM
In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosts Tony Brueski and Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries", discussed the ongoing investigation into the Gilgo Beach killings in Sumner County, involving Rex Heuermann, and the potential connection to missing Julia Ann Bean.
The investigation has yet to provide any evidence linking Heuermann to Bean's disappearance, despite her family's insistence that her daughter saw Heuermann the night Bean went missing in 2017. Motta expresses hope that the investigation will continue, despite the lack of DNA evidence, citing the importance of old-fashioned police work and the daughter’s eyewitness account. The hosts express frustration at the ignored evidence and testimony that could have led to Heuermann's capture much earlier, comparing the situation to the mishandling of the John Wayne Gacy case.
The hosts delve into the intricate details of the case, analyzing the evidence laid out in the bail application and speculating on the potential discovery of more mass graves created by Heuermann. Motta highlights the specificity of an eyewitness account that described Heuermann as an "ogre" driving a green Chevy Aval, arguing that this alone could have provided probable cause for a search warrant.
They also discuss the efforts made by investigators to piece together Heuermann's travels over the past decade, cross-referencing cold cases in areas he visited. Motta expresses hope that no more victims will be found, but acknowledges the necessity of solving cold cases and providing closure to victims' families.
The conversation highlights the potential repercussions for authorities, who may face legal and public scrutiny for their failure to apprehend Heuermann sooner. Both hosts agree that answers will be demanded by the victims' families and the general public.
Overall, the discussion underscores the complexity and frustration surrounding the case, as well as the potential for significant consequences for those involved in the investigation. The hosts' analysis provides valuable insight into the ongoing efforts to solve the case and hold those responsible accountable.
