Summary

If Rex Heuermann wasn't arrested would he have continued to kill? #rexheuermann #gilgobeach #serialkiller — Since the spring of this year, investigators looking into the Gilgo Beach serial killings case have been operating on the theory that the suspect, Rex Heuermann, committed the killings in his Massapequa Park, New York, home. A source involved in the investigation told CNN the fact that the disappearances occurred during times his family was out of town suggests he may have lured victims to the Long Island home. Investigators believe committing the killings at home would have given Heuermann control of the environment and access to materials that were found at the crime scene, including tape and burlap bags, the source said. One of the reasons the search of the suspect’s home has taken so long is because investigators are also combing for trace evidence that may be linked to the victims, multiple sources said. (CNN)

0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to police off the cuff for real crime stories.
0:13.2	I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, 827 year veteran of the NYPD.

0:57.8	And I think that most of us intellectually, we know the answer to that.
1:05.4	And the answer is unequivocally, yes.
1:09.3	Because when we look back, I believe it was July 13th of
1:14.2	2023, and that was the day that Rakhuman was arrested, putting an end to his reign of terror
1:22.6	over Long Island. The reason that the Gilgo Beach Task Force moved in on him earlier than they had
1:32.5	wanted to was because they were tracking him. He was under surveillance. And they knew that he was
1:41.6	still going out with escorts. He was still using his burnophones. He was still
1:50.8	conducting his life in the same modus operandi as he had now that we know going back to 1993.
2:01.0	So the Gilgo Beach Task Force,
2:03.9	under the direction of then
2:05.5	police commissioner Rodney Harrison,
2:08.9	formerly of the NYPD,
2:10.0	and of course very capable
