Gilgo Beach Killer Evidence: Eric Faddis Breaks It Down Live

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

Two pillars of evidence reportedly made Rex Heuermann's LISK case unwinnable — a deleted planning document recovered from his hard drive and DNA linking the accused Gilgo Beach Killer to multiple victims through a technology never before admitted in a New York courtroom.Eric Faddis joins me live to break both down with the precision of someone who's prosecuted and defended murder cases. We walk through what a Frye hearing looks like from the inside — what the Long Island Serial Killer defense needed to prove and why the judge ruled whole genome sequencing admissible. We examine the planning document's alleged contents — supplies, problems, disposal sites, targets, "Mindhunter" references — and why the defense reportedly challenged the DNA but not the document.Faddis explains how investigators pulled deleted files from over 350 seized devices using forensic tools — and where the science has vulnerabilities that could have been attacked. We trace the evidentiary chain from a pizza crust in a trash can to DNA matches connecting Rex Heuermann to multiple Gilgo Beach crime scenes spanning years. And we get into the behavioral significance of a defendant who allegedly identified DNA as his top concern in a planning document — and then was caught by DNA anyway.This is the LISK evidence deep-dive. Faddis holds nothing back.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
