  1. Todays lesson if you’re a murder always eat your pizza crust ! In all seriousness I can’t believe they got him !! They have been getting all these guys… the Delphi killer the Idaho killer and now this guy!! The masks have been taking off these guy!

  2. There was absolute no compassion from those who lived in the aread in which the murders took place

  3. Race/class played a huge role in the case.

  4. Should have been found. But because the deceased were from the poor side and the residents of the area are well off ofcourse they werent going to just grab up folks. He was a suspect or should have been one decades ago. Makes no sense why this took so long

  5. Heuermann: "I'm a troubleshooter."
    Me "You're a troubled shooter?"

  6. The amount of unknown serial killers in the world is crazy

  7. Now think of all the serial killers still out there walking amongst us rn

  8. Psychopath are a danger in anything they do especially if they pay for sex and think they own the person. Take a look around, there are many of them

  9. gives me BTK vibes. But, guns aren’t the issue. Sure, he’s a creep and a killer that owned guns. But guns aren’t the issue.

  10. Well done investigators! I hate to judge a book by its cover but his eyes show he is not all there up in the lighthouse. My heart goes out to all the victims and their loved ones. This beast will be in hell soon enough where he belongs.

  11. Feed him to the feral hogs.

  12. Please…the poor girl ran out of his house. It doesn't take a genius

  13. There were actually 7 bodies found and he is only charged with 3 and a possible 4. Hopefully be can be tied to the other cases so families can get closure (although the other bodies haven’t been identified).

  14. Gotta be familial DNA that nailed him. Just like The Golden State Killer.

  15. Yep, it’s not in theory, it’s IN FACT, that sadly the suffering done in these cases was not just cruel but ALSO unnecessary, if not directly caused by an evil murder, then caused accessory to those who were sitting with in positions whose duty and primary responsibility, via the inherent nature and course of their employment, with overseeing the power structure that was charged with enforcing these laws. Sadly so…..

    It can’t be said that the hopefulness that EVERYTHING that could have been done in fact actually was done, because it most certainly was not.

    And the worst thought of all, stemming from this, is just blatantly how many not only didn’t have to die at the hands of an evil-minded individual like this monster, because that’s an obvious, but ALSO, how many actually didn’t have to die at the hands of a monster that in reality wound up dying this way? And how many that we can’t pinpoint or will never be known? Like, how many women/people, who COULD have been stopped earlier in the timeline of horrors, were in reality, NOT stopped from dying, had it not been due to, I’m sure some level of civil neglect and lack of bureaucratic oversights, yes, sure, but also then some actual criminally liable badges. Yes, corruption is one crime, and first degree or capital murder is a whole different-level, but criminally minded individuals were operating within the Suffolk County law enforcement division. The division that was responsible for: 1) taking on this case on initially, 2) knowing that they didn’t possess the tech, surveillance, intelligence, or coordinating capabilities, but also possessing the equally, if not more important quality, of 3) total commitment to justice and the fortitude to do WHATEVER was necessary to seek and find that justice, no matter how low down on the scale of media importance these victims were and no matter how high up on the level of self-importance the ‘top cops’ were.

    Also, I know that many of these so called top cops, including but not limited to at least 2 at the uppermost tier of local enforcement, WERE charged and convicted of crimes including official corruption, as well as I’m sure some also who were never convicted<charge<named. BUT ALSO, I wonder how many below or adjacent to those convicted/named were and might never be named.

    And I heard a more in-depth story about the higher-ranking one of the at least 2 ‘top cops’ who were convicted, he was the one who was the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Dept’s highest up of all, like he was the one who was in charge of the entire division from the day of the first murder through (from my knowledge) at least the first 3-4 women murdered/dumped, and so he was the one that made the decisions to not work in collaboration with federal agencies who had more operating power and capabilities, the places that in the end did and most likely would have earlier solved the case, had they been ‘allowed to partner’ or whatever the official terminology is. He would have been the highest most individual working employed within local (non-federal agency/FBI) law enforcement who in fact WAS the person with whom the decision to halt the FBI’s inclusion into the case was made. An awful and harmful decision. He was a person whom later plead guilty to crimes he committed within the department, that NO DOUBT made him an unlikely and inherently non-existent force within the force, who did not want any federal agents up within his dirty business.

    So yeah, I wonder how many lives could have been spared? And then, obviously ALSO how many months, years, and now a decade+ of time spent suffering in the fear and doubt of the unknown, went unheard, untended to, and summarily were UNNECESSARILY spent suffering, due to his/their criminal corruption and neglect, that surely all of the women’s family members and loved ones spent deeply suffering, again, UNNECESSARILY? How many? One person is too many to die. One hour crying about your dead friend/family member with their killer on the loose is too many! Utterly terrifying.

    It’s all a racket I guess, when you have someone (or multiple people) with basically tantamount to a decade+ of unchecked power, someone who thinks that THEY ARE THE LAW, who nevertheless, breaks many laws, and on a gigantic, broadly painted scale of human suffering in the worst way possible way kind of broken laws. Absolutely atrocious!

  16. Thou shall not kill Jesus said. And we are to love one another as He has loved us !!!
    Visual Bible movies on YouTube, Matthew, Acts, Luke, John !!!

  17. I bet when they narrowed it down to the dozens who had the relevant car it was the 92 gun permits that made Heuermann worthy of detailed scrutiny. Talk about a red flag!

  18. “Sex workers”
    So hookers. Got it.

  19. why did she save that voicemail? lol
