Did Rex Heuermann's Sloppy Lifestyle Bleed Over into Sloppy Body Coverup?
8m · PublishedDreeke expressed his excitement, not over the charge itself, but over the remarkable investigative efforts that have led to this point. “I got goosebumps on my arm... It wasn't necessarily the charge that was surprising, but the depth of the evidence they have is really becoming illuminating,” he stated.
The prosecution's case leans heavily on mitochondrial DNA evidence, linking Heuermann to the victims. With recent nuclear DNA testing providing more conclusive results, the odds of Heuermann not being involved appear slim. Dreeke praised the prosecution's foresight in engaging multiple DNA labs for independent verification, a strategy he believes indicates their readiness for a robust legal battle. “They were thinking prosecution the entire time,” he observed.
The conversation then shifted to the DNA evidence found in Heuermann’s home. Dreeke noted the sloppiness indicated by multiple instances of family members' hair being found on duct tape at crime scenes. “Sloppiness... makes me think it was like a last-minute plan of his,” Dreeke speculated, pondering whether Heuermann's alleged crimes were hastily executed or borne out of complacency from previous uncaught acts.
Dreeke and Brueski also delved into Heuermann's personal life, discussing the disarray found in his home during the investigation. This personal sloppiness, they theorized, could be reflective of his criminal behavior. “It just really struck me that he's got a behavior arc of sloppiness,” Dreeke remarked.
The conversation then touched on the broader implications of Heuermann's alleged actions, including the possibility of additional victims. “Hard to imagine it went from zero to a hundred... I'm curious at what point these four are on that arc of comfort,” Dreeke pondered, suggesting that Heuermann might have been emboldened by repeated offenses.
The discussion ended with Brueski and Dreeke contemplating the psychological aspects of Heuermann's alleged crimes. The emergence of new evidence and charges paints a chilling picture of a man who may have been hiding in plain sight, leaving the public and the victims' families to grapple with the horrifying reality of his actions.
As the Long Island serial killer case continues to unfold, one question remains: What other secrets lie buried, waiting to be unearthed? The answer to this may only be revealed as the legal proceedings against Rex Heuermann progress, shedding light on the dark corners of a case that has haunted Long Island for years.

DNA Evidence Ties Accused Long Island Serial Killer to "Gilgo Beach Four" Murders
12m · PublishedThe breakthrough in the case came as investigators connected Brainard-Barnes' murder to Heuermann through DNA evidence. Specifically, a female hair found on the victim's body was matched to samples collected from Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and their 26-year-old daughter, Victoria. Remarkably, both women were out of town when all four of the murders took place, including the time of Brainard-Barnes' death in Atlantic City, as detailed in the indictment.
Prosecutors revealed disturbing details about Heuermann's alleged activities. He reportedly texted escorts while his wife and children were away, engaging in sick online searches such as "Very skinny white teen tied up porn," "tied up fat girl porn," "medieval torture of women," and "how I was raped audio." Investigators also discovered a collection of violent, bondage, and torture pornography on Heuermann's electronic devices. Furthermore, they found that he had used his computer to contact escorts, using the names "Andy" or "Andrew," which correspond to his middle name.
One of the escorts allegedly received a text message from Heuermann on March 1, 2020, stating, "Hi, I saw your ad and wanted to see if we could set something up later." This chilling exchange occurred as the escort asked if the following day would work, to which Heuermann responded, "I am working all day. I was free today; my wife is out for the day… working Monday."
While Rex Heuermann pleaded not guilty to these new charges, his wife, Asa Ellerup, and daughter, Victoria Heuermann, were present at the arraignment but did not address reporters.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney had previously identified Rex Heuermann as the primary suspect in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes. He had expressed that his office was close to linking Heuermann to her case.
Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, was the first of the "Gilgo Four" to disappear on July 9, 2007. Her body was later discovered on December 13, 2010, and she was reportedly bound with a belt stamped with the initials "WH," which investigators have suggested may have belonged to Heuermann's late grandfather, William Heuermann.
The "Gilgo Four" case involved the discovery of more than ten sets of human remains along Ocean Parkway between December 2010 and April 2011. Three other victims who worked as escorts, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, and Megan Waterman, became known as the "Gilgo Four."
Maureen Brainard-Barnes had a life prior to her tragic disappearance. She was originally from Groton, Connecticut, and was described as a straight-A student who dropped out of school at 17 after becoming pregnant. She held various jobs, including working as a card dealer at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, at a local ShopRite, and at a gas station in the area.
As this shocking case unfolds, investigators continue their efforts to seek justice for the victims and their families, as well as to provide answers in a case that has haunted Long Island for over a decade.
