LISK: Inside the Evidence Rex Heuermann Couldn't Escape

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

A deleted Word document allegedly outlining how to carry out the Gilgo Beach killings and avoid detection. DNA recovered from a discarded pizza crust matching hairs found on multiple LISK victims across multiple crime scenes. A Frye hearing ruling that admitted a DNA technology never before used in a New York trial.Eric Faddis — defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins me to walk through the evidence that reportedly ended the Gilgo Beach Killer's fight. Faddis breaks down why the planning document is so devastating from a prosecution standpoint, what whole genome sequencing actually is and why the Long Island Serial Killer defense couldn't get it excluded, and how investigators extracted deleted files from over 350 seized electronic devices.We examine the document's alleged references to "Mindhunter" and how a prosecutor builds a premeditation case from a defendant allegedly studying serial crime investigation methodology. We follow the evidentiary chain from a piece of trash to the DNA match that connected Rex Heuermann to victims spanning years. And Faddis answers the question every attorney following the LISK case is asking — which single piece of evidence tipped the scales toward a plea?If you want to understand what the prosecution was prepared to present at the Gilgo Beach Killer trial — and why it reportedly became a case the defense couldn't take to a jury — this is the conversation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
