{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"John Douglas on Rex Heuermann: More Gilgo Beach Victims?","description":"John Douglas looked at the full picture of Rex Heuermann — the four-day kill cycle, the stopwatch-timed body dumps, the kill room in his childhood bedroom, the planning document that referenced Douglas's own book — and delivered an assessment that should keep investigators working this case for years. He said Rex is a malignant narcissistic sadistic psychopathic serial killer.\n\nHe said he doesn't believe Rex started killing at thirty. And he raised the specter of death penalty exposure in states like South Carolina, where Rex owned property and where investigators have been looking at missing persons cases that could be connected. Douglas compared Rex to Dennis Rader — BTK — and said something striking. He said Rader would be jealous of Rex. Because Rader had the fantasy of keeping a victim in a room, of having total control in a contained space. But Rader never had the room. Rex did. Rex had the space, the privacy, the time when his family was out of state, and the methodical precision to carry out every element of the fantasy that most serial killers only imagine.\n\nThe documentary also revealed that Rex told his daughter the planning document was created as a way to try to curb the urge — that if he put it on paper, maybe he wouldn't need to act it out. That claim doesn't hold up against the timeline.\n\nPsychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze the full psychological profile of Rex Heuermann as revealed by the documentary and Douglas's assessment — the gap between confession and truth, the narcissism that's still operating even after the plea, and whether Rex Heuermann will ever stop controlling this narrative.\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?
