How Was Rex Heuerman Allegedly Able To Abuse And Murder So Many For So Long?

Feb 21, 04:00 PM

Is it possible for a predator to hide in plain sight within a community, evading law enforcement for years? This is the central question in the case against Rex Heuermann, the man accused of being the Long Island serial killer, as discussed on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis.

The case has garnered significant attention due to the harrowing testimonies of alleged survivors. In a recent development, two women, Taylor and Mary Poe, have come forward with chilling accounts of their encounters with Heuermann. Taylor, a bottle girl in 2010, claimed she had to use a taser to escape from Heuermann, while Poe alleged she was shot in the neck by him and miraculously survived.

Brueski humorously dismisses any notion of mistaken identity, stating, "Rex Heuermann is not a guy that you really would confuse with many other people." Faddis, lending his legal perspective, emphasizes the importance of these testimonies for the prosecution. "They're going to draw parallels, they're going to show overlap, and they're going to tie all of this together in a pattern of behavior for Rex Heuermann over the course of years," he explains.

The discussion also delves into the societal factors that may have allowed Heuermann to operate undetected. Faddis points out that predators like Heuermann target vulnerable communities who are averse to law enforcement, making them easy targets. He also notes Heuermann's use of resources, such as burner phones, to cover his tracks.

As Brueski and Faddis unravel the complexities of the case, the question of how many other victims might be out there lingers. The podcast sheds light on the grim reality of predators exploiting societal stigmas and legal loopholes. As the case against Heuermann continues to build, one can't help but wonder: How many more stories are yet to be told, and what will it take to bring such predators to justice?
