{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Rex Heuermann Can't Connect Himself to Gilgo Beach Crimes","description":"Rex Heuermann sits in his cell at Suffolk County Correctional Facility and looks at crime scene photos of the eight women he killed. He studies the dump sites. He looks at what was done to the bodies. And then he says something that should make every person following this case sit up straight — he says he can't connect the person who did those things to himself. He tries. He looks at the photos and tries to bridge the gap between the man who dismembered women in his basement and the man sitting in the cell. And he says he can't do it. The two worlds don't merge. That claim — coming from a man who timed his body dumps with a stopwatch, who built a four-day ritual around each killing, who got his disposal time down from two minutes to thirty-seven seconds — raises a question that sits at the center of this entire case. Is he telling the truth? Is Rex Heuermann genuinely unable to connect his two selves?\n\nOr is this one more performance from a man who John Douglas called a malignant narcissistic sadistic psychopath — a man whose narcissism is so total that even in confession, he's still curating how the world sees him? The documentary also revealed that Rex agreed to cooperate with the FBI's behavioral analysis unit as part of his plea deal.\n\nPsychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to examine what the documentary exposed about Rex Heuermann's mind — whether his claimed dissociation is real, what the ritualized killing pattern reveals about his psychology, and whether cooperation with the FBI is a sign of genuine self-examination or another form of narcissistic control from behind bars.\n\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\n\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
