The Gilgo Beach Murders: The Case Against Rex Heuermann
True Crime TodayFor nearly two decades, the remains of young women kept turning up along the desolate stretches of Long Island — in the scrub brush off Ocean Parkway, in wooded areas out east, in places no one was supposed to find them. 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 his... more

For three years after his arrest, Asa Ellerup defended Rex Heuermann on camera. She called him a family man. She said they had the wrong man. Then on April 8, 2026, he pleaded guilty to eight murders — seven inside their home. He told Asa directly. T... more
Asa Ellerup sat across from the man she was married to for decades and heard him say he killed eight women — most of them inside their home. She asked about dismemberment. He told her yes. She walked out of that jailhouse, told a camera crew she stil... more
Rex Heuermann set the terms of his own confession. Before he stood in a Suffolk County courtroom and pleaded guilty to murdering eight women, he arranged private jailhouse meetings with his ex-wife and his daughter. He chose the order. He chose the s... more

- Engaging
I enjoy Tony’s take and how descriptive and well written and thoughtful him and his guests are. Yes , can be repetitive at times but I just scroll through to what I feel like listening too.

What about the 14 year gap in the investigation? Guess you're NOT from Suffolk County…I agree with the other reviewer I wouldn’t have the daughter babysit my pet rock. This podcast is an insult to the victims and supports the corruption that allowed the decade plus stall on the investigation and let this monster go free. Stopping gleaning other’s reporting and more importantly STOP victimizing the victims.

Not a bad show, but come on man add after ad

Australia2 years ago - Too many ads
Ok, just to let everyone know, this is not actually an original podcast. Each little episode is clipped from his other shows. These are generally 5 minutes of episode and 6-10 minutes of ads. Also they clip the weekend episodes that repeat everything from the week so it’s the exact same thing again. This guy is an old morning shock-type joc that just never got over it. Don’t bother.

They just name it something different and even the ad free version has ads. Just not an unbearable amount. Good premise, real bad execution
