Rex Heuermann Sentenced, Why Gilgo Beach Investigation Can’t Stop Here | Profiling Evil

from Profiling Evil

Rex Heuermann has now been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for the Gilgo Beach serial killings. After pleading guilty to seven murders and admitting responsibility for an eighth, the former Long Island architect stood in court as victims’ families finally had the chance to speak directly about the pain, the waiting, and the years stolen from them. In this episode we’ll look at Heuermann’s sentencing from a victimology and criminal behavior perspective. This is not about giving the killer more attention. It’s about remembering Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, and Karen Vergata. It’s also about Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance helped expose what had been hidden along Ocean Parkway, and Asian Doe, who still deserves a name.We’ll talk about the judge’s words, Heuermann’s brief statement, the importance of victim impact statements, and why the District Attorney’s office must continue looking at other possible victim cases. Not because Heuermann needs more prison time. He’s already going away forever. But because victims and families deserve the truth, even when the investigation is expensive, difficult, and unlikely to change the sentence.#RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #LongIslandSerialKiller #MelissaBarthelemy #MeganWaterman #AmberLynnCostello #MaureenBrainardBarnes #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostilla #ValerieMack #KarenVergata #ShannanGilbert #AsianDoe #GilgoFour #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #Victimology #CriminalBehavior #SerialKiller #BehavioralAnalysis #FBI #ColdCase #MissingPersons #UnidentifiedVictims #JusticeForVictims #CrimeScene #LongIslandCrime #PersonalSafety #GIS #Esri #ArcGIS========================================Get Aipas eBike at a discount: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVIL========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hephaestus Research Station, currently on Day 448 of its orbit around red dwarf star Wolf 359. He's stuck on a scientific survey mission of indeterminate length, 7.8 light years from Earth. His only company on board the station are stern mission chief Minkowski, insane science officer Hilbert, and Hephaestus Station's sentient, often malfunctioning operating system Hera. He doesn't have much to do for his job other than monitoring static and intercepting the occasional decades-old radio broadcast from Earth, so he spends most of his time creating extensive audio logs about the ordinary, day-to-day happenings within the station. But the Hephaestus is an odd place, and life in extremely isolated, zero gravity conditions has a way of doing funny things to people's minds.
