Rex Heuermann-The Gilgo Beach Killer

from Killer Constructions Hosted by Onyx

For years, the Gilgo Beach case existed as fragments — separate disappearances, unanswered questions, and long stretches of time where nothing seemed to connect. Then slowly, piece by piece, something began to take shape. Rex Heuermann lived what appeared to be a normal life. A job. A home. A routine that didn’t draw attention. Nothing about it suggested what would eventually be uncovered — not at first, and not all at once. This episode looks at how the case developed over time, how patterns were identified, and how something that went unseen for years was eventually brought into focus. More importantly, it remembers the women at the center of it: Melissa Barthelemy Megan Waterman Amber Lynn Costello Maureen Brainard-Barnes Their lives extended far beyond this case, and their names deserve to be remembered that way. 🎧 Killer Constructions is a true crime series focused on how events unfold over time — not just what happened, but how it was built, piece by piece.

The killer was the man’s first wife, Betty Broderick. Betty and Dan Broderick had looked like the perfect couple, right up until they weren’t. After four children and nearly 15 years of marriage, after the riches they both worked for were finally within reach, he walked out and began having an affair with his assistant. But divorce ended the Brodericks’ marriage only on paper. “Till death do you part” turned out to be the way it would ultimately end: bitter, savage and fatal. It took two criminal trials to send Betty Broderick to prison, and we’ll hear not only from her divorce attorney, but also from the criminal defense attorney who argued for her in two murder trials, plus the foreman of the j Killer Stories with Harvey Guillén Spotify Studios Welcome to your weekly journey into the darkest corners of human nature.
