And for most of that time, no one was held accountable. I'm Tony Brueski, and this podcast is my deep dive into one of the most chilling serial murder cases in modern American history — the Gilgo Beach murders and the case against Rex Heuermann, the New York architect now charged with the killing of seven women spanning from 1993 to 2010. This isn't a case summary. It's the full picture — the women who were allegedly targeted and discarded, the investigative failures that let a suspected killer allegedly operate in plain sight for decades, and the forensic breakthroughs that finally led to an arrest in July 2023. I break down the evidence prosecutors have built — DNA analysis, cellphone data, digital files allegedly recovered from Heuermann's own computer — and the defense strategy aimed at dismantling it. I cover the courtroom battles, the rulings on evidence admissibility, and every development as this case moves toward its next chapter. But more than anything,…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T10:20:02.504285+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gilgo-beach-murders-the-case-against-rex-heuermann-6470757"},"episode":{"title":"Rex Heuermann’s Ex-Wife Called Him Her Hero — Then Came the Confession","slug":"rex-heuermann-s-ex-wife-called-him-her-hero-then-came-the-confession","published_at":"2026-04-10T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gilgo-beach-murders-the-case-against-rex-heuermann-6470757/rex-heuermann-s-ex-wife-called-him-her-hero-then-came-the-confession","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-gilgo-beach-murders-the-case-against-rex-heuermann-6470757","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8885397","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8885397.mp3?modified=1775758230&sid=5112097&source=rss","summary":"Asa Ellerup was in the courtroom. Last row. Watching the man she was married to for nearly thirty years admit to things she once said she would have known about if they were true. Rex Heuermann’s guilty plea is now the record. And Asa is navigating a world where the person she built her life around has admitted to being someone she says she never knew existed. Her daughter Victoria was there too. Victoria already said publicly that she believes her father most likely did it. She arrived at that conclusion before the plea. Her mother held on longer. After court, Asa told reporters her thoughts are with the victims. Her attorney blasted a wrongful death lawsuit that now names both of them — filed by the son of Valerie Mack, alleging the family profited from a documentary and showed disregard for the people harmed. This is where the case gets personal for the people who’ve been following it. The legal chapter is closing. The human chapter is just beginning — for every family connected to this story. On Hidden Killers Live With Tony Brueski & Robin Dreeke, Eric Faddis and Robin Dreeke continue the panel discussion on the aftermath. The lawsuit. The family fracture. The FBI cooperation that suggests this story may still have chapters no one has seen yet. And the question at the center of it: how do the people who loved him survive what he just admitted?
