Summary
How does a man allegedly responsible for some of the most horrifying crimes in recent history manage to blend into suburban life so well that even his own family didn’t seem to notice?
Tony Brueski teams up with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to unravel how Rex Heuermann allegedly maintained a horrifying double life, hiding his darkest urges behind a carefully groomed mask of normalcy. From quietly manipulating his family into ignoring chaos, to taking advantage of a society that turns its back on sex trafficking victims, Dreeke breaks down how the slow creep of abnormal behavior can become someone’s everyday reality. And what happens when law enforcement, the very people meant to stop monsters, are either indifferent or complicit?
Enter James Burke—the former police chief with his own colorful past—which raises the question: did personal skeletons keep this investigation locked away for far too long?
How many other killers are walking free because we’ve decided some lives just aren’t worth investigating?
Explore the darkness in the Long Island Serial Killer case with #TrueCrimePodcast as Tony Brueski and #RobinDreeke expose how #RexHeuermann allegedly hid in plain sight, uncover the consequences of ignoring #SexTraffickingVictims and failures in #LawEnforcement, watch the case unravel with #JamesBurke and demand real #JusticeForVictims.
