Gilgo Beach Killer Rex Heuermann’s Sheriff: ‘He’s a Sociopath’

Rex Heuermann has been locked in a cell at the Riverhead Correctional Facility for over a thousand days. The Gilgo Beach killer. The LISK. The man who admitted to killing eight women across Long Island over seventeen years. And according to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, in all that time, Rex Heuermann has never once shown a change in emotion. No despair. No discomfort. Nothing.The sheriff, who has spent more than four decades in law enforcement, said he’s never seen an inmate like this. His assessment, according to reporting: he believes Heuermann is a sociopath.What makes that assessment even more chilling is what Heuermann has been doing with his time. According to reporting, he’s been devouring crime novels about serial killers from the jail library. He reportedly struck up a correspondence with Keith Hunter Jesperson — the Happy Face Killer — the only person he chose to write back to out of all the mail arriving at his cell. And in that letter, he reportedly called Jesperson’s correspondence “a help and a comfort.”I take a deep dive into the psychology of what happens when a man like Heuermann stops performing for the public and starts settling into who he apparently always was. The reading list. The correspondence with another killer. The total absence of emotion over three years. Forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland’s research into why killers seek each other out maps directly onto what we’re seeing with Heuermann.This isn’t remorse. This isn’t guilt. According to the people watching him every day, this is a man becoming comfortable with exactly who he is.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
