Rex Heuermann Never Thought of His Daughter: Gilgo Beach LISK

Victoria Heuermann asked her father a question that took more courage than most people will ever need in their entire lives. She looked at the man who raised her — handcuffed, shackled, sitting in a jailhouse room — and asked him: when you were killing those women, did you ever think about me? Rex Heuermann's answer was one word. No. He said the two worlds never crossed. He said he never thought about his family while he was carrying out the murders. Not once. Not ever. And Victoria had to sit with that answer, process it, and somehow figure out how to keep living. She also asked him if he saw the women as human beings. He said he didn't even see them as people. That's what Victoria Heuermann is carrying. The knowledge that her father could love her — genuinely love her, she believes — and simultaneously view other women as subhuman objects to be used and discarded. The knowledge that women were murdered and dismembered ten feet from where she sat as a child. The knowledge that her father confirmed one of his victims was killed in her parents' bed. And after hearing all of it, she forgave him. She said she has to in order to move forward. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to examine the psychological devastation facing Victoria Heuermann — what it means to carry a serial killer's legacy as your identity, how the brain processes the revelation that your safe childhood was a lie, and whether Victoria's path through this is as healthy as it appears or whether the hardest part of her journey hasn't started yet.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
