It's 9 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: known as Little Siberia Boo hoo, the infamous Clinton c 10 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: I and Danimore and New York. It opened back in 11 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: eighteen forty five, and it has housed some of our 12 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: countries most evil, most diabolical killers. In other words, he'll 13 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: fit writing in why do I say that sightings of 14 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: the victim's phone calls are from the victims? Train rides 15 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 2: by the victims, victims that left and never came back, 16 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: keeping a victim alive. 17 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: For days on and so he could play with him. 18 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 2: There are going to be more victims uncovered of the 19 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Long Island serial killer Rex Hureman. 20 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 4: The calm, serene, almost grandfatherly image that Rex Human portrayed 21 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: since his arrest was a lie and quite frankly an 22 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 4: insult to both law enforcement, but more importantly the families 23 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 4: that had to endure that during every court appearance over 24 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 4: the last two and a half years. Today he was 25 00:01:52,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 4: exposed for exactly what he is. A sadistic, soulless murder monster. 26 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 5: This case closes and another one opens. You know, there 27 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 5: are still you know, bodies on that beach. There are 28 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 5: still bodies in Suffolk County. There's no rest for the weary. 29 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 5: We are going to continue to work with our partners 30 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 5: and to try to obtain closure for as many families 31 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 5: as we can. 32 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 2: That the police Commissioner and the Suffolk County District Attorney 33 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: speaking unmasked finally in court in lieu of a long trial, 34 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: a guilty plea. But just as we saw in the 35 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: Idaho case, the Idaho for four Beautiful University Idaho students 36 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: murdered generally speaking in their sleep by one person, Brian Coburger. 37 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: Once again, like in Coburger, we will never really know 38 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: the facts because there. 39 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 3: Is no trial now. 40 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: Unlike Idaho, where the death penalty does exist, in rex 41 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: Hureman's jurisdiction, you can kill as many people as you 42 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: want and there is no death penalty. 43 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: What does this mean for his wife's reality show? 44 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: That's certainly something to ponder straight out to Crime Stories 45 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: investigative reporter Dave Matt. Dave Matt a Long Island serial killer, 46 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: The Long Island serial killer Rex Hueman finally sneered in court. 47 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 6: What happened once this all hit court with the announcement 48 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 6: that he was changing his plea? A lot of people 49 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 6: were looking at Asa ellerup as you just mentioned, and 50 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 6: her reality show. It was a three part series that 51 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 6: included interviews with the couple's daughter, Victoria. And it looks 52 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 6: like now the cameras are going to continue to roll 53 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 6: and add additional episodes to the show called The Gilgo 54 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 6: Beach Killer House of Secrets. So it looks like that 55 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 6: show will continue. 56 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm a little more interested. 57 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: Tonight, Dave Mack in the guilty Please, a sudden change 58 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: of plea throws the courtroom in an uproar. Rex Heureman, 59 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: the admitted Long Island serial killer, pleads guilty. In addition 60 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: to Dave Matt, Crime Story's investigative reporter joining us also tonight, 61 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: Josh Zeeman, investigative journalist, documentary film director. He's been on 62 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: the case from the very beginning, and he is the 63 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: director of the Killing Season. It's a docuseries that helped 64 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: shed new light on the Gilgo Beach murders. Josh, thank 65 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: you for being with us. Describe what happened in court. 66 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 7: Well, Nancy. 67 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 8: It was a tense moment for sure, everybody waiting to 68 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 8: see if Rex would actually plead, and he did eight 69 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 8: separate times to these women. The question is, while he 70 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 8: was admitting these crimes, he never once turned back to 71 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 8: look at the families. He was smirking, And the question 72 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 8: is why was he smirking. Was he smirking because he 73 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 8: was forced to admit what he'd done, or because he 74 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 8: knew there were other victims out there that he was 75 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 8: getting away with. 76 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: You know, Josh, that is certainly a scary thought, scaring 77 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: even me who have actually prosecuted serial killers. Before smirking, 78 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: you know, I thought he was smirking at the victims' 79 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: families or at the justice system itself. But you again 80 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: have shed a whole new light on this. Is he 81 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: smirking because he knows there are other murder victims, other 82 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: defenseless women that he stripped, tortured and murdered, keeping them 83 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 2: alive in his dungeon basement for days and days on 84 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: end when his wife would be out of town. 85 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: We think days, and you believe there is. 86 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: A chance that he's smirking because he knows there are 87 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: other victims out there that haven't been found. 88 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 7: Absolutely, for sure, it's the tragic. 89 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 3: I'm curious, why do you say. 90 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 8: That, because we know the remains that were deposit on 91 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 8: Ocean Parkway. There's other folks. There's Asian Doe, Carmen Vargas, 92 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 8: There's numerous folks out there who and have you heard. 93 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 7: The district attorney say it himself? 94 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 8: You know there are other bodies on that beach, and 95 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 8: I was there at the press conference. He says, sometimes 96 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 8: it doesn't matter what I think, it matters what I 97 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 8: can prove. And so his next goal is to try 98 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 8: and prove it, to try and find these other victims, 99 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 8: identify some of them, and again bring Rex to justice 100 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 8: for these victims. 101 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 7: Tragic. 102 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: Mike Gougle joining US former Nessau County lieutenant, founding member 103 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: of the NYPD K nine unit. He's led multiple investigations 104 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: into serial killers, including the Gilgo Beach killer on Long Island, 105 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: also secret service to Presidents. 106 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: Mike, thank you for being with us. 107 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: That has got to put a shiver down your spine 108 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: thinking that there are other victims. I mean, the guy 109 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: who's just in in the last hours pleading guilty to 110 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: multiple murders. 111 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: And these women weren't just bam, you're dead. 112 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: They were kidnapped, they were stripped, they were bound, they 113 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: were tortured for days on end while his wife was 114 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: away in his underground basement dungeon, and then ultimately murdered. 115 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: They went through hell, and I wonder, I wonder, Mike, 116 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: were they thinking of their children they would never see again. 117 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: It's excruciating for me. I hate to even imagine what 118 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: they went through. And now the specter brought up by 119 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: Josh Zeeman, and he's not wrong of other women out 120 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 2: there somewhere under the sand. 121 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, Nancy, no doubt about it. 122 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 9: Unfortunately, though, reck Youreman is not the only serial killer. 123 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 7: This is a very unique area I'm intimately familiar with. 124 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 9: I patrolled the area for almost seven years with police dogs. 125 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 9: I trained police dogs by Tate. Daytime, it's a beautiful 126 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 9: recreational area. At night, it's a haunting, haunting, dark, desolate area, 127 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 9: and it's proximity to JFK Airport Rex. Youwer men literally 128 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 9: live fifteen minute drive from here from the locations where 129 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 9: the bodies were, so it's a haunting place. There's no 130 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 9: doubt there's other bodies out there. The bodies have been 131 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 9: being dispersed out there since the eighties during the mafia 132 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 9: gang wars, So it's just a question of actually locating. 133 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 9: And of course, frankly, this is a very desolate area. 134 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 9: It's finding bodies is like finding a needle in a haystack. 135 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: Okay, this is something I don't understand. 136 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 2: You are a founding member of NYPD, and I speak 137 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: very highly of the NYPD. Like every LA law enforcement agency, 138 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: he's got its problems and it's bad apples, But you 139 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: are the pinnacle NYPD. That's who all the other pds 140 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: look up to. 141 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 7: Right. 142 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: It's very hard for me to believe that a canine 143 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: or a team of canines cannot find all the dead bodies. 144 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: Cadaver dogs, that's what I'm talking about. 145 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 7: One hundred percent. This is what crack this case. 146 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 9: A Suffolk County Police Department cadabit dog found the first victim. 147 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 9: Without that, there would be no DNA evidence. Without that, Obviously, 148 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 9: there was great work by all the DNA invest all 149 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 9: of those things, but without the bodies, you have a 150 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 9: very difficult case to prove. So dogs are considered in 151 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 9: court as scientific instruments to overcome warrantless searches. So there's 152 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 9: nothing like a dog to find odorless microscopic skin cells 153 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 9: that are dispersed. But again, this is a big area 154 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 9: on NANC. It's different terrain, there's sand, there's a lot 155 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 9: of vegetation, So again it's not a question of if 156 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 9: other bodies will be found in. I think the DA 157 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 9: spoke to this is just a matter of it's nothing 158 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 9: new to us New Yorkers that this has been. You 159 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 9: go from a high congested, highly trafficked, illuminated areas, you 160 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 9: drive ten minutes fifteen minutes from Kennedy Airport or Rex 161 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 9: Huberman's house, and it's creepy. 162 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 7: It's creepy. 163 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 9: I used to park my police car, turn the lights out, 164 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 9: and you could see five miles in either direction of 165 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 9: any cars coming or going. So guess what if the 166 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 9: police can do that, the bad guys can do the 167 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 9: exact same thing. There's no curves and there's a lot 168 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 9: of places to sneak and hide, So yeah, It's a creepy, 169 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 9: haunting place, and it's been that way for many men found. 170 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. 171 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: Well, they say birds of a feather flocked together. The 172 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 2: former Manhattan architect kept a family man facade, but behind 173 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: that facade an evil killer Alurtt. Now we know of 174 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: at least eight to nine dead victims, but I believe 175 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 2: there are many, many more. He pled guilty to the 176 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 2: murders of eight women, and behind bars at Little Siberia 177 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: he will join the real killer Joel Rifkin and the 178 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 2: New York Zodiac killer Aribertosida. There are sixty feet high, 179 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: seven feet thick cement walls, according to reports, and it 180 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: is the largest maximum security lock up in the state. 181 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: Many of its very old cells are six x eight. 182 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: He will enjoy a still framed bed, a commode, a sink, 183 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: and a riding surface. Don't worry, he'll find a way 184 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: to break the rules. He'll end up with a private 185 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: iPad and somehow make money off a documentary, like his wife, 186 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: Asa Ellerp, who's made reportedly a million dollars plus on 187 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 2: her documentary Excuse Me Documentary for Peacock. 188 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 3: Now. 189 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: She insists she wants her privacy After starring in a 190 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: documentary series, she claims she's moving to Iceland. Okay, bye, 191 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 2: these are the facts. It's very clear from what the 192 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 2: Suffolk County District Attorney Right Tierney said that he believes 193 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: there are other bodies on this beach. Why can't the 194 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: cadaver dogs find them? 195 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 9: They can, they have the capability of doing. First of all, 196 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 9: there's not a lot of cadaver dogs because there's not 197 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 9: a great need for them, so there's not a lot. 198 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 7: Of them, but they certainly could. 199 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 9: And there's volunteer organizations that train Cadavid dogs all over 200 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 9: the country. So yeah, it's just right. And they are 201 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 9: continuing searching. There was police activity out there the other night. 202 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 9: I don't know specifically for what reason. 203 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 7: So yeah, the. 204 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 9: Search is on. It's never going to end. And as 205 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 9: I said, it's nothing new. You can, as I said, 206 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 9: Rex lived fifteen to twenty minutes, you drive over a 207 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 9: bridge and you go from Long Island to a desolate 208 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 9: You don't have to drive a body upstate New York. 209 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 9: You don't have to drive two or three hours like 210 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 9: in Goodfellows to dump the body upstate New York when 211 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 9: you can literally drive ten minutes from Queens Brooklyn, and 212 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 9: you're in this. It's like an alternate universe out there. 213 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 9: No lights, no stores, very little police activity. Police don't 214 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 9: patrol there because there's nothing out there in the winter. 215 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 9: By day again it's a beautiful recreational there. By night 216 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 9: there's nothing out there, and it's. 217 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 7: Continues that way today. 218 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 9: I was just down there the other night at one 219 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 9: o'clock in the morning, and it's eerie. 220 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 7: There's nothing. There's no rescue workers. 221 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 9: I mean, if you call nine one one, you know 222 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 9: there's a fifteen or twenty minute response time minimally because 223 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 9: they got to go over bridges, three miles of bridges 224 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 9: to get to this barren beach area control room. 225 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: I want to see the victims' faces, and I want 226 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: to see them close up, not a distant shot, all 227 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: of them in a group. 228 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: I want to. 229 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: See their faces, one by one. 230 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 3: Look at them. They begged for their lives. They begged 231 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 3: to go back to their children. 232 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: They promised they wouldn't tell, they promised they wouldn't call police. 233 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: Instead, they were. 234 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: Stripped, bound, tortured, raped, murdered, and their bodies buried along 235 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: a lonely stretch of beach. 236 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 3: And Rex Hueman stands in court smirking. 237 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: Why why because they died and he lives. Because he's 238 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: now going to be treated like the teacher's pet by 239 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: the FBI profilers. 240 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. 241 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: There're going to be many, many interviews by the FBI 242 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: profiling him this piece of crap, and I guarantee you 243 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: one day he'll take part in his own documentary and 244 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: there will be money. 245 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 3: Made off of it. It's happening. Put money on it. 246 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 2: Joe Scott Morgan joining me, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, 247 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: author of bestseller Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon. He 248 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: is the star of a hit podcast, Body Bags with 249 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: Joseph Scott Morgan. But for my purposes tonight. He is 250 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: a death investigator, a very experienced veteran death investigator, with 251 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: over ten thousand death scenes of all sorts under his belt, 252 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: over ten thousand. I first met him when I was 253 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: a prosecutor int Intercity, Atlanta and he was working for 254 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: the Medical Examiner's Office at that time. That's a long 255 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: time ago, Joe Scott, and you haven't let up. You 256 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: like me, like Gould, like Zeeman, have walked the beach. 257 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: Do you concur with Gould's comments, explain. 258 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 10: Absolutely, and let me tell you why. You know, obviously 259 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 10: you can hear my voice. I'm from the south, and 260 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 10: you know, we think about the rural areas down here. 261 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 10: You get up into this region and you leave what 262 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 10: they refer to as the city. When you leave the 263 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 10: city and you're heading out, you know, as mister Gould 264 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 10: had mentioned just a moment ago, you get there, this 265 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 10: is rural. This is what they consider going to the country. 266 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 10: And it's not it's not an unfair description because it 267 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 10: does go dark really, really quickly. And here's the thing. 268 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 10: My good buddy, Sergeant Joe Jack Loan, he took me 269 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 10: to the location where the Gilgo bodies were actually found. 270 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 10: And one of the things that I came away from 271 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 10: from that visit to that location was the fact that 272 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 10: one side of the roadway you've got this marshy area. 273 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 10: It is prohibitive for anybody to go into there. You've 274 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 10: got briars and brambles and everything else on that side. 275 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 10: On the other side, you can hear the waves crashing 276 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 10: and you can't see your hand in front of your 277 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 10: face out there at night. It would not surprise me 278 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 10: at all if there were more. He's saying at the beach, 279 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 10: Tierney is I'm thinking probably along the sound side over there, 280 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 10: where you can quickly deposit the bodies in that location 281 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 10: and nobody's going to be any the wiser out there. 282 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 10: I think that probably when he did this, he was 283 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 10: hoping for something, maybe like title changes that are going 284 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 10: to sweep the bodies out. It's an easy dump to 285 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 10: do this. He can pull them out of this avalanche, 286 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 10: which by the way, they had recovered down in South Carolina, 287 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 10: and they would just be gone. They would vanish and 288 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 10: right he was to a certain degree, but that yet 289 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 10: there they remained. And to mister Goule's comment, those dogs 290 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 10: are heroes, you know, because they went out there. They 291 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 10: took those dogs out there and they actually found these remains. 292 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 10: Is it possible they could go out there and find more. Yeah, 293 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 10: I think that there can. Because this is an extensive area, Nancy. 294 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 10: It would take so much manpower to get out there 295 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 10: and cover every square inch of this area or every 296 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 10: square mile. They haven't even scratched the surface yet. And 297 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 10: you have to be purpose. 298 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: Hey, look, Scott, look, look, look, look, look, this is 299 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: video obtained by ABC seven. Look at him. I just 300 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 2: want the viewers to know what they're seeing. Joe Scott, 301 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 2: there he is, and I know exactly where he is. 302 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: Nobody needs to tell me. 303 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: He's leaving his office. 304 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: See he's got his messenger bag over his shoulder. He's 305 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 2: leaving his office, which was a stone's throw to Pen Station, 306 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: and there he would catch the pen I've been there 307 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 2: many many times. To imagine this demon walking amongst all 308 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 2: the ladies catching trains at Penn Station, going straight out 309 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: to Long Island to commit murders. 310 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 3: There he goes. He truly is a demon walking among us. 311 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: That is what the DA said. Sorry to interrupt, Jo Scott, 312 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: keep going on. I just wanted the viewers to know 313 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: what they were seeing. 314 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 10: Yeah, and when I think about who else he could 315 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 10: have victimized, how many more are there? I think there's 316 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 10: a high probability that there are these bodies. But Nancy, 317 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 10: if we could just return to the victims specifically, just 318 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 10: for a second, this allocution, let me just put it 319 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 10: to you, this way is lacking, okay, because you know 320 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 10: what we got out of him, and yeah, I mean 321 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 10: it confirmed some things we got him saying. Strangulation, strangulation, strangulation, strangulation, 322 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 10: but there's no more detail there. I'm very disappointed that 323 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 10: his feet were not held to the fire. You know, 324 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 10: you had mentioned his torture chamber, which I think that 325 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 10: this location was. Josh has talked about how these people, 326 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 10: these poor victims, were kept alive down there, and yet 327 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 10: there's no more detail about what he did. I don't 328 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 10: know that people fully appreciate the depth and breadth of 329 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 10: how evil he is. He is demonic, in my opinion, 330 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 10: with what he did to these poor souls, and we 331 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 10: will never know that information. All I have to do 332 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 10: I look back at the template of the way Kansas 333 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 10: handled BTK, and we don't have that here. It's left 334 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 10: wanting to say the very least. And I think the 335 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 10: families need to understand that. I think the courts need 336 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 10: to understand that. But yet here he is.

He is naming Rex Hureman, obviously, 510 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 6: but in this million dollar lawsuit he names Asa Elera 511 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 6: and daughter Victoria Huerman as defendants. Torres alleges that he 512 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 6: was deprived of his mother's care and protection, claims Mack 513 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 6: was tortured before her death, and the suit seeks damages 514 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 6: and targets the prophets allegedly earned bielerap in Victoria Huerman 515 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 6: from the Peacock documentary that we've been talking about. I'm 516 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 6: saying that human's life being shown like this is a 517 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 6: callous disregard to the victims' families. 518 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: You know, I'm just imagining what the victims' families have 519 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: gone through. They went for years thinking maybe their mothers 520 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: just left them, abandoned them. How do you like to 521 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 2: grow up thinking that mom just left? I don't know 522 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: where she is. She didn't love me enough to stay 523 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: with me or even stay in touch with me. I 524 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: grew up without a mother. And then they find out, 525 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 2: for all those years that they blamed their mom, that 526 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:15,239 Speaker 2: their mom had been tortured and raped and murdered and 527 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: their remains buried on a desolate beach. Just growing up 528 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: in itself has all sorts of trauma and issues pile 529 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: that on top. I don't know how these people even 530 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: get out of bed in the morning. To Joseph Scott 531 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 2: Morgan explain what was done to these victims? And you 532 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: know what, when we show their faces, Joe Scott, it's 533 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 2: easy to go, oh, there's a long one serial killer victims. 534 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: I would have to make your rs and I didn't 535 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: like it any more than they did. Make them confront 536 00:32:54,160 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 2: what really happened to these ladies, what they endured before 537 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: their deaths. 538 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 3: What happened to them, Joe Scott. 539 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 10: The worst possible torture that you can imagine. Can we 540 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 10: reflect back just for a second to think about this list. 541 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 10: Do you remember the list, Nancy, This kind of assignment 542 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 10: of task that he had created. Nancy, There's there's one 543 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 10: part in this list that he had created where it says, 544 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 10: by the bye, don't don't forget to remove the hands 545 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 10: and the head and to wash the bodies. Just let's 546 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 10: just meditate on that, just for a second, of how 547 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 10: dark this whole thing is. And if it happened once, 548 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 10: it happened multiple times. And that's that's in death. Lord 549 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 10: only knows what had happened in life, down in that 550 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 10: dark dark space as he is torturing these poor victims. 551 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 10: And here's the here's the real shame. Just like Ted Bunny, 552 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 10: we will hear his name over and over and over 553 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 10: and over again. Guess what. Guess what. There are very 554 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 10: few people that can go down the list of Ted 555 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 10: Bundy's victims and name them. I submit to you that 556 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 10: the names of these victims will be forgotten. And I 557 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 10: hate to say that it's very callous, but his name 558 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 10: will trump everything else. He'll be mentioned over and over 559 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 10: and over again, and people need to remember this. This 560 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 10: is why, when I think about the allocution, why he 561 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 10: should be compelled to talk about what These are individuals. 562 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 10: They had lives, they had families, and the torture that 563 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 10: they were subjected to is stuff that you can't even 564 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 10: imagine in your wildest dreams. It's stuff that you think 565 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 10: about war crimes. People that commit war crimes didn't do 566 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 10: stuff like this. You know, one thing that I reflectively 567 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 10: think back to in this list, there's a one point 568 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 10: where he actually uses the term hard point, and that 569 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 10: really with me. And the hard point was a location 570 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 10: commonly where you secure something like, for instance, an eye 571 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 10: an eye hook in the ceiling where you can tie 572 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 10: somebody up, you can hang them almost like a piece 573 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 10: of beef, or if you're feel dressing a deer and 574 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 10: talking about the context of that, you know, what's your 575 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 10: purpose for doing that? Rex? You know, why would you 576 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 10: need a hard point? I know he's an architect. He 577 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 10: probably uses that term from the descriptor of building something out, 578 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 10: but that's not what he used that for, Nancy. He 579 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 10: used that to secure these individuals so he could work 580 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 10: out these sick fantasies. And you know, they're paying the price. 581 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 10: They're paying the price to satiate these evil desires that 582 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 10: he has, and they are not going to be memorialized. 583 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 10: I am truly hoping. I am so glad you brought 584 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 10: up this gentleman who is suing, because maybe there will 585 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 10: be relief in civil court where they will have to 586 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 10: talk about this stuff. They will have to talk about 587 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 10: what happened in her domicile that she was living in 588 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 10: with her kids. This was all going on under her 589 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 10: nose in that basement she inhabited the space. Let's hear it, 590 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 10: you know, let the hide come with a hair, and 591 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 10: let's hear what they have to say about this and 592 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 10: what went on in that house. You're not gonna get 593 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 10: in civil court, I mean in criminal court, because he's 594 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 10: not gonna be forced touched by at this point. But 595 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 10: in the civil court, maybe these families will get some 596 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 10: relief and they will be able to see what he 597 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 10: had done, and you can parade all of the experts 598 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 10: across the stand. In civil court, you can get transcripts, 599 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 10: you can do depositions, and they're going to talk about it, 600 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 10: and I hope, I hope they go forward with it. 601 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 10: I hope every family member out there that suffered at 602 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 10: his hands will file suit and we're gonna find out 603 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 10: what actually happened down there in that basement. 604 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: And recall Joe Scott that asa Ellerp's hair was actually 605 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 2: found on Valerie Max's body, which opens up a whole 606 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 2: nother cannon worms. I'd like to go back to what 607 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 2: the control room was showing while you were talking, Joe Scott, 608 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 2: I guess in your world, as do I. I make 609 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 2: lists all the time, so I can't forget what all 610 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 2: I have to do. Don't hunt too long in one 611 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 2: area because you'll be seen. Don't charge for your gas, 612 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: check for video cameras in the pickup area. The next 613 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 2: time you kidnap your victim, hit the victim harder, make 614 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 2: it easier to quote take them down a hit to 615 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 2: the face or the neck next time, which means he 616 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 2: didn't hit the victim in the right place for him 617 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 2: the first time, and she fought back. You need more 618 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 2: sleep before the murders. You need to control the noise 619 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 2: and more quote playtime. In other words, torture hang drop 620 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 2: claws from the ceiling with pushpins, not tape, because the 621 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 2: drop claws become loose during the rapes and the torture. 622 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 2: Use heavy rope for the neck. Light rope broke under 623 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 2: this tree of being tightened. Now that sun and all 624 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 2: the victims' families have to think about how tightly ropes 625 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 2: were cinched around their mother's neck. Props, toys, wood items, wood, 626 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 2: items for what, destroy books, computer files, anything that touched 627 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 2: t one, I guess the victim. Dispose of plastic bags, 628 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 2: remove marks from the torture. What does that mean when 629 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 2: he cut out portions of their skin, remove head and hands. 630 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 10: Yeah, you're talking about excision there, Nancy. Excision is say, 631 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 10: for instance, you have a sharp instrument and you have 632 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 10: an insult to the skin. For instance, you have a mark, 633 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 10: an abrasion, a contusion, whatever it is. He's talking about 634 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 10: excizing that area, actually cutting. 635 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 2: Out the cutting and out, cutting out the tattoo from 636 00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 2: the skin. 637 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 3: That's what joe'st is saying. 638 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 2: And he's right now here are his problems to the 639 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 2: panel DNA, that's a problem. 640 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 3: Tire marks for him, that's a problem. 641 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 2: Bloodstain's fingerprints, plastic bag he had cap litter to get 642 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 2: rid of the smell. This guy, look at this all 643 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 2: the supplies booti's acid lie a police scanner, cutting tools 644 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 2: here and nets burn can drain cleaner tarps, electric clips, 645 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: large electric clips for what Joe Scott to put on 646 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 2: the victims' bodies and electrocute them as torture. 647 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 3: Why would he need electric clips? 648 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, to send voltage to their bodies. Because he's he 649 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 10: is experiencing this is he wants to see the pain, 650 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 10: He wants to see the resistance. He wants to see 651 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 10: their reaction to the terror that he's inflicting upon them. Okay, 652 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 10: they know that something horrible is coming, that horror being 653 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 10: their end. But what's happening before they get to that death, 654 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 10: which probably at the end of the day, many of 655 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 10: them were probably begging for Nancy at that point. I 656 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 10: think the big question is we know these eight victims 657 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 10: that he has admitted to. I want to know how 658 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 10: many more women were brought down there and subjected to 659 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 10: the same torture in this environment. You know, Lord only knows, 660 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 10: you know. One of the things I think about is 661 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 10: the DNA recovery down there in that area. I really 662 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 10: wonder how many unknown bits of DNA may have been recovered, 663 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 10: What was the opportunity, how much had it degraded.

So despite all 684 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 8: these things that he had done, it was still there. 685 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 8: And thank god they were able to get this. He 686 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 8: was actually you talk about this house looking so ramshackle. 687 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,479 Speaker 8: He's a hoarder. He hoarded all these old items, old 688 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 8: pom pilots. There were palm pilots that they found that 689 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 8: basically gave the dates of what he was doing and 690 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 8: going that actually mentioned his wife being away at times 691 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 8: and he would go and find a victim. So he 692 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 8: hoarded everything, including all these pieces of evidence. He also had. 693 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 8: The most shocking thing is he had newspaper articles, thirty 694 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 8: year old newspaper articles in his bedroom, in his office, 695 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 8: in his basement of all his crimes. So for some 696 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 8: guy who's such an architect and such a great planner, 697 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 8: he still kept all these mementos that basically nailed them 698 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 8: to a wall for these killings. 699 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 2: Mike Guild Special Guest former nessa county lieutenant founding member 700 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 2: of the NYPD K nine unit, led multiple investigations into 701 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 2: serial killers, including this case. Mike, after all your work, 702 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 2: all your time, literally blood, sweat and tears, how does 703 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 2: it make you feel that this guy he might be 704 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 2: sentenced consecutively won after the next half the next but 705 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 2: bottom line, he gets. 706 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 3: One life sentence for everything he did. 707 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, Nancy, it's sickening. This is a true animal monster, 708 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 9: whatever you want to call it. But what's most disturbing. 709 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 9: He could be at your next dinner party. He was 710 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 9: an architect, he's very well respected in the community. You 711 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 9: know what I think about As I said, I patrolled 712 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 9: this Areosion Parkway from nineteen ninety two to nineteen ninety nine, 713 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 9: when Frankly, these bodies were disposed of. But here's the 714 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 9: sad reality. I could have pulled him over. He has 715 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 9: a license registration, and he could I had a body 716 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 9: in his trunk. He's a duck hunter, and he's a 717 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 9: member of the community. I would have probably let him go. 718 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,760 Speaker 9: There would be no reason for me to suspect because 719 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 9: sociopaths are very manipulative. As I said, he could be 720 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 9: He's just somebody's next door neighbor. 721 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 7: He could be at. So that's what's the most troubling 722 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 7: to me, is you never know the evil at lurks 723 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 7: in anybody's mind. 724 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 2: Frankly, Mike Gould a special guest tonight. He worked the 725 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: Long Island serial killer case. Mike, what you said is chilling, eerie, 726 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 2: and I know it to be true. And when I 727 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 2: think of what Josh Zeeman just said about over one 728 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 2: hundred thousand photos of these dead women during torture, during rapes, 729 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 2: and their families have to live with that the rest 730 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 2: of their lives. I mean, I feel, I don't know, 731 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,720 Speaker 2: robbed by this altiplay and I don't know why. 732 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,319 Speaker 11: Yes, so this is a heinous crime. We can't you 733 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 11: can't fathom insanity. How can a normal functioning person, As 734 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 11: I said, this could be anyone. Nobody's immune to this. 735 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 9: This could be a priest, that could be any member 736 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 9: of your community, a family member. 737 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 7: They're devious and they live double lives. 738 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 9: If you look at all his notes, those are the 739 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 9: notes of an architecture. 740 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 2: Right. 741 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 9: Architects are very meticulous and they have to learn from 742 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 9: their last architectural drawings. 743 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,240 Speaker 7: So when you look at that, this is a checklist 744 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 7: police scanners. He had probably. 745 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 9: Thought about how what he was going to say if 746 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 9: somebody like myself pulled him over in the middle of 747 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 9: the night on Ocean Park, where I'm sure he had. 748 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 7: A very well reasoned excuse. 749 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 9: So this is this is a sadistic maniac, and we 750 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 9: can scratch our head from now to eternity trying to 751 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 9: figure out what how a sociopath thinks, how they get 752 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 9: some side of type of enjoyment from mutilating people. It's 753 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,160 Speaker 9: not on our radar screen. It's certainly not a my 754 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 9: radar screen. So yeah, I fortunately for me, I've been 755 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 9: doing this stuff so long, I have a way of 756 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 9: just isolating those thoughts and the emotions. I'm kind of 757 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 9: emotionally detached from a lot of this, So a lot 758 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 9: of it I frankly don't even listen to as I 759 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 9: just kind of avoid it, stick with the facts of 760 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 9: the case. 761 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 7: But yeah, he's a monster, period. 762 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:29,760 Speaker 2: Karen Stark, what advice, what words of consolation or hope 763 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,240 Speaker 2: can you give the victims' families? 764 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 12: Well, the best you could do in a case like this, Nancy, 765 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 12: is to actually talk to them, advise them to get help, 766 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 12: to keep talking it out, because it really makes a difference. 767 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 12: And it's really hard because they're aware of the torture. 768 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 12: They just like you, right, they can't fathom it, and 769 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,240 Speaker 12: they can put themselves in the place of the victim, 770 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 12: which is terrible to imagine what they went through. And 771 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 12: he does this because he gets a charge out of it. 772 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 12: That smirk is showing you how much he enjoys this. 773 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 12: And there is no doubt in my mind that he 774 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 12: pleaded guilty because he didn't want to go over the details. 775 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,359 Speaker 12: He has very specific details that he wants to keep 776 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 12: to himself and maybe share with the FBI so he 777 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 12: can get the fame that he's been looking for.
