Recap by Tammy AI
About a year ago, I worked at Ruth Chris Steak House. When I walked into work that day things were off I figured out what it was. My manager came and told me that there was a undercover investigation going on and that there was gonna be one customer that was going to join another one. that person was the undercover cop(lady) they had dinner, and they used the glassware to drink the water. We were told not to touch that glass of water through the whole shift and act normal like they were normal customers everyone else sitting in that restaurant at the time was also a undercover cops acting at regular customers in regular clothes. They ate the dinner. Everything went normal. The guy got up and left. That lady still sat on the table and the undercover operation was over. They had gotten his DNA. I don’t know what the situation was or what the man did, but that was the craziest experience I’ve ever had. And to know this is how they got this guy is crazy to find out about
Weren't you told to keep quiet about that though? I mean, the court case for this guy hasn't even started yet. He's been arrested, but his guilt has not yet been proven so really you should delete this.
If you haven't heard of him, check out the ice man Richard Klukinsky. He was married with kids and was a hit man for over 30 years. He murdered over 100 people. He was really the first time I realized these monsters live in plain sight.
I remember reading about the Long Island murders a couple of years ago and even then they knew some of the deceased women had been at a house in that area and that phone calls to hire those women as prostitutes was from a location in that area. They just could not pinpoint exactly where and which house. I’m glad they have made progress. These women were someone’s daughter, sister cousin or loved one and are just as important as anyone else. People are tired of poorer women being treated like trash by the law. Hats off to those in law enforcement who persisted.
One of the victims was my friends sister. Her death crushed him and he vowed to find her killer. Sadly he passed before that happened so I’m glad the victims and their friends and family can all finally have some start of closure.
I bet he was shocked when the police got him on the street. He thought he would never be caught. All these years his wife was sleeping next to a serial killer.
I think his only shock is it took them so long to figure it out. But they're too busy making arrest quotas rounding up Blk and Brown people to notice his evil practices.
Women have strange fascination with serial killers for some reason. That is why every time there is a Netflix series on a serial killer, it is always a hit among the females.
I live the next town over and as a Long Island fisherman, we have roamed and fished those beaches in the middle of the night for decades... it is so dark and desolate on that road, god knows how many times we drove past this dude.
@eavymuturuh3717, agree.. with Costello’d death, there was someone online threatening her. Later someone chimed in to say they “ took care of her for them”. Costello was said to be one of the 4 of this guys victims, so it goes suggest a group.
His mug shot gave me a cold chill all over my body I can only imagine what those evil eyes have seen and done! May the victims and families get justice now, great work law enforcement 🙏
@RogerMcMillanhere are some people saying innocent until proven guilty but other wise I find them both about the same. Most people thought that kohberger did it as soon as his mugshot was released. He looks just as creepy as this guy IMO
@RogerMcMillan Being someone who respects high-quality investigative police work, I cannot fathom how knuckleheads in the public would use mug shots as indicative of a suspect’s innocence or guilt, particularly when so many facts tend to be released about how authorities identify and close in on such murderers; it’s depressing that these people can serve on juries.
Yes they are “collateral victims”. The horror and guilt family must feel to be a part of this terrible creep’s life. That a person you care about could be capable of such cruelty. Prayers for them, too.
He looks like the sort of guy who would eat a whole Pizza all by himself, thank God justice has caught up with this serial killer who was very easily living in plain sight.
Kudos to the new task force for closing a few of these cases. Good old fashioned police work closed the gap here. My heart hurts for all the victims. They all deserve complete justice
There were also retired police officers who had worked on this case who did not want to let go of it. They kept working on it and helped crack the case too. Kudos to all of them, those women were never forgotten, it must mean the world to the families.
Those tiny young women never stood a chance with this massive coward. I hope they connect him to ALL the victims not just three. Another so called "family man" hiding in plain sight. He is such an insult to all the good family men out there. I hope the families get answers. Rest in peace 🌹
Even if he is not connected to the other cases....as the very least , he will be off the streets forever.Sadly , its a pity it has taken so long to catch him.These evil monsters ,are becoming smarter and more sophisticated as the years pass on.Thankfully science and the police ,are also using smarter methods ,to find these evil murderers.
He’s a big unit! I didn’t realise how tall he was. He’d be a strong bloke, those girls didn’t have much chance getting outta his clutches. The fear they must’ve felt is heavy.
The phone call of her saying "theres someone after me" always bothered me. And the fact that he would call and taunt the families. Glad they finally found him. Im wondering now how many bodies are buried underneath his buildings he built
The 911 phone call has since been released. You can find it pretty easily online. It honestly sounds like Shannon Gilbert was tripping and her client and driver were just trying to get her home.
Shannon Gilbert allegedly has nothing to do with this crime. She hasn’t been mentioned in any of the many reports I’ve watched on this case nor was she mentioned in the press conference, which kind of makes me sad. Whatever happened to her that night, she is the real hero in this case. Had she not gone missing in Oak Beach, Rex Heuermann would still be walking free. Her disappearance is what sparked the search for these women and because of her they were found.
@jmccoy8182 He's referring to the fact that the guy they arrested is at Least a full foot Taller than any of the other men around him. He's Big but not necessarily fat, more like chubby But Really Tall.
It all boils down to these agencies dropping the ball on this case because of ego trips between agencies.. It's sad and pathetic. This happens all the time in law enforcement
In this case worse. The Superiors were involved in illegal activities with sex workers and they suppressed evidence and stopped investigations and turned down FBI assistance to avoid getting caught. It wasn't until the police chief was arrested and they had new chief that they invited the FBI, years after the bodies were discovered.
I feel so much empathy for his victims and their families, I also hope people remember his own family are his victims in a strange way too and leave them in peace, their world has just been ripped wide open.
Yep and notice how small the victims were. All under 5’4” and very small and petite. They described him as an ogre and whomever did so, was right! He’s enormous
@@bamboosho0t No matter one's size, the eyes, wind pipe, balls and nose are vulnerable. The problem is remaining calm headed and not getting knocked out by the creep first.
wow! Fantastic reporting by everyone who put this together and presented it. Such a big case and break and complicated investigation to have to explain so quickly, and I'm sure through high emotions. Well done, thanks.
He is a big guy so it'll be multiple people that give him justice!! Bet he a big sissy, that's why he choose young and small built people..I just wonder if all the bodies are his that were found there!
@@rain0069 Hurricane Sandy hit 2 years after the first remains were found in 2010. I would hope they did a fairly thorough search on numerous occasions. Cadaver dogs are really really good at their duties. Of course remains could have been missed during those searches but based on the way the bodies had been disposed and concealed… I think that they found them all. At least for that location. I really don’t think he would dispose of more bodies there in the two years leading up to Sandy. He didn’t seem like he WANTED to be caught. He used burners. I get he taunted some families but never the police(he wasn’t trying to play cat and mouse) Yeah, so going back to that scene w/ more bodies seems unlikely. Just my 2 cents. Take care.
If he did this, my heart goes out to the victims families as well as his own family. Lord only knows the nightmare that wife and kids are living right now with an entire nation watching…
True, it's the first thing I thought when I heard he lived with a wife and 2 daughters. Imagine the horror when you realize you've been living with a monster
Love me some abc7 news. Ty abc for giving me and mines for years the good journalism and most importantly the coverage of local news for us here in NYC. Much appreciated.
A woman made a 911 call on him earlier this month saying he was following her around the park and creepy. He was on the prowl again and police arrested him because they feared he was about to kill again
I'm glad for the family that the killer was found.However,In the beginning, the investigation was done sloppily and it was as if someone was covering up the murderer.
That’s one reason I’m not convinced that Rex is the murderer. I’ve lost faith in the feds..and though he likely is the killer, due to the known corruption of the FBI, it’s possible he’s a patsy.
I think the reasons it took so long to solve the murder are 1) these girls were involved in high risk behavior (drugs, prostitution) so the cops did not prioritize this case, and 2) remember the Gilgo 4 victims were found only because the cops were looking for Shannan Gilbert. Although Shannan's body was found in the same area as the Gilgo 4, her death was unconnected but the cops worked on the assumption her death was connected and that threw them off the right trail for years.
This guy went a massive killing spree for 10 years or may be more .who knows how many more he has killed.We have that many young people who dissapeared each year, makes you wonder whether he hasn't been doing this a lot longer in other areas too that we are not aware of .Imagine living next door to a guy who is well established ,nice car and house acting very friendly to all those in the community only to discover he is a serial killer , .just the thought of it bring chills down my spine.
NY Police did a great job. Burke, the police chief was corrupt and refused to let FBI help. That slowed down the investigations. Only Burke, not the hardworking cops who cracked this case.
More people like him are out there. Hopefully and prayerfully there will be closure and justice for families who love ones were unalived and/or are missing whose investigations remain unsolved.
I feel for all the victims families. Condolences to all of them and I hope justice is served. I also feel for his wife and kids who have no part in this and have to suffer too. What a shame that he led a double life and would have kept on doing this horrific crimes!
Kind of looks like he has a smirk on his face. Prayers to ALL affected by this senseless murder investigation. Family, friends, paramedics, police officers. First responders, EVERYONE. So very sad, as to what ALL the victims must have experienced. How the criminal can go on living a somewhat NORMAL life after the murderous excruciating pain and devastation he has bestowed upon ALL others is beyond me and ALL OTHERS. Facing NO death penalty??
@@Digglerdirk79-l4yhat's what I was thinking someone else is watching I don't know about him being the long island serial killer because there is seven others that's creepy if you ask me 😢
He's facing the God Death penalty. Don't underestimate the creator of all things. Jesus will not allow these deeds to go unpunished, Best believe that. It is a very scary thing to fall into the hands of God without Jesus to advocate on your behalf. True evil is real, thank God so is Jesus Christ. Blessed is everyone who believes that Jesus is life the truth and the way, to be true. God help the families that have been affected by this. Only God Knows.
@@Digglerdirk79-l4y In looking at the location and proximity to NYC I speculate there could very well be hundreds of randomly buried bodies scattered out there from generations of criminal activity. Linking all of them found in what amounts to a dumping ground is an unfathomable task.
Employee: "Sorry, I gotta take some personal time to go look at the house of a suspected serial killer. This is a big case." Employer: "Don't bother coming back."
The new police chief said he’d take on this case. And he sure delivered. I wanna know why the other police chief was so sketchy about this case. He did everything he could to railroad this case that to many, he seemed to be the killer. Or at least was protecting the killer. Now I wonder if there’s any connection or he was just a crappy police Chief. I’ve been all over this case since it began. I was actually watching a true crime video on the Gilgo beach murders the day before he got caught.
In what day and age was that not true? It used to be so much harder to track people. People used to have literal death hotels. Where they'd be like yeah that's the guy who kills people. They were extremely sloppy to the point the only way they would catch them was when they'd get caught in the act, or several victims escaped.
Every account of a serial killer’s life and personality is like, “He seemed very successful and normal. Unless of course you count his obvious and obsessive hatred for women, which we didn’t.”
4:29 more than one killer? If it's true, I don't think they are related or even know each other, it's just that beach, due to its location, is a dumping ground for the murderers in the area.
Here are some more revealing information - His wife's DNA was found on three of the victims' bodies, also the investigators found unidentified female hairs on three victims too. Not to say his wife was involved, but there might be a female accomplice involved too.
I shed hair a lot, it's possible his wife's hair was on his clothing and transferred onto his victims. His wife was apparently not in the country during the murders, which I'm sure was deliberate on his part because that would make it so much easier to pull the crimes off.
More likely that it is simple transfer DNA. You would expect to find spousal DNA and hair in pretty significant amounts. I feel sorry for the wife and kids. They have to leave the area, probably with limited resources.
@@f.taylor yeah, could be the case, if the wife was out of the country, he had the house to himself, he brought in those girls, he had plenty of time to torture them then kill them after he was done.
This took such a long time, but better late then never. Josh it has to be rewarding 10 years later to be delivering this news. How traumatic for his wife and 2 daughters as well.
I have never seen your station's coverage before today. This coverage was so well done, from the historical information to present day. Job well done! However, one concern I noted was about that police chief who wouldn't let the FBI help out in these cases - that is strange and confusing......
Oh shut up. If he has a personal day owi g to him, and he is interested in crime cases, why wouldn't he? How is it harming the boss, or you? This is a huge case and if I lived in the vicinity I would also go and watch because I think it's interesting.
Feeling so sorry for his wife and kids!! They are also victims of his…they have to live with his legacy. I hope they’re able to cope, and that they stay strong!!
I’ll reserve sympathy for the wife until we hear the whole story. It’s odd that 3 of her hairs were found in various places on the victims. Not just 1 or even 2 errant hairs…but 3 hairs!!
He's freaking huge! He looks violent and mean! See what ties he has to Peter Hackett and the crooked chief of police that was released from prison in 2019! The hair was on the burlap and belonged to his wife 😮 Imagine him being the one chasing Shannon in the 911 call 😢 So glad he's caught but Shannons murder seemed set up 😮
Lots of evidence on this guy already and the investigation is far from over. The smoking gun 🔫 of his wifes hair strand in the knots of the burlap is just insane. An each time a victim was murdered his wife was out of town so that shows he had the victims over to their home at some point.😮 This sk is toast.
No, it just means the burlap sack was either kept in the home or he just had his wife's hair on him and transferred it to the sack without realizing it.
So sorry for the victims and their families. Sorry for this man’s wife and children as well. So sad all the way around. What’s in the minds of these kinds of killers???💔
janetspell: don’t ask, none of us want to know, we’ll never understand. Thankfully the mass majority of we on Earth do not, cannot, nor will ever think like that horrifying creature.
10 sets of remains. So glad that after 13 years, this case never went cold. What a monster. He’s huge. What an “un-sub” How great is it that he’s finally caught.
The families of the victims can look forward to some justice now. The horror is just beginning for the killer's family, who will have to deal with the shock and terrible new reality of having a serial killer in their immediate family.
Sick, twisted, evil, demonic, disgusting, freak…there are not enough adjectives to describe this animal!!! They found the body of a toddler that could be among his victims!! 😡😡 My sincerest condolences to the victims’ families.
People are so strange I don't understand why you would stand out side his house.The guy who took personal time off work omg really.Yes I understand this is a big case but come on people.Very glad he is coming to justice.
I thought the same thing too! I get it, it’s a big break for this case, but they’re not investigators and have no access to the evidence inside that house. They’re just sitting around loitering… it’s pretty pathetic actually.
Been waiting for this day! Knew the day would come one day, hope the families can finally get the justice they so very much deserve. Hope the coward admits to all of them, but I'm sure he will deny like always. Crazy to think just how many serial killers are out here.. terrifying. Hold your family members close and love on them as much as you can, bc you can't even go on a walk now days with out something happening. Great job to everyone who worked on finding this monster! 🙏
What a piece of garbage. And he really went on with his life, knowing he took those women's lives and thought he could get away with it. This serial killer deserves the death penalty.
A piece of crust was his downfall. I’m glad they finally caught this demon. Goes to show you that you just can’t escape clean in this country. They will find you even if it takes years. Rest assured they’ll find you
Nope. His DNA on his victims is his downfall. But he wasn't found by a search of DNA databases, as his or a blood relative's DNA isn't in there. The investigators homed in on him through other evidence, and then confirmed his DNA on the discarded pizza matches the DNA on the victims.
They have their guy a bag of burner phones vehicle ID his DNA linked to victim and our favourite Using a dead victims mobile phone to call her sister and taunt her ....tracked undercover by FBI for months gathering evidence 😅
@vice2versa so Gilgo beach just happened to be a dumping ground for 2 seriel killlers at the same time? Hmmmm 🤔 I mean nothing is impossible, but I personally can't believe that.
The local police department needs to handle cases like this directly to the FBI. Not when they feel the pressure of the people after Netflix releases a documentary. Smh
@@stansmith8206 I had read the toddler went missing alongside their mother, is that the case? I admittedly don't know much about the victims beyond the Gilgo 4.
This reminds me of the times square serial killer. I heard the stories on youtube also. They also lived a double life. I'm into forensic science, and your stories always give great endings. I use to live in New York City, and your news channel was my favorite. Now I follow your stories online. Have a great day.😊
@@MiguelReyes-yl3bp It's crazy how all the "most respectable/admirable" men tend to be not so admirable after all...I still believe a bit in the existence of good people in some positions of power but honestly, it's dwindling fast. Those that pose as the most normal and respectable are often quite the opposite...
This is huge wonderful news! I have been watching this for years! This is truly amazing! I hope they get the other murder! Those poor woman, they deserve Justice!

How does one feel to find out that one's own dad is a serial killer?
I'd be embarrassed. SMH
Like this.
Not sure how Id take it, but Id want to be part of the movie deal.
I would think about the times I got in trouble, and dad grabbed me by the neck.
I'd be disappointed that he never let me in on the hunt.
The phone call of her saying "theres someone after me" always bothered me. And the fact that he would call and taunt the families. Glad they finally found him. Im wondering now how many bodies are buried underneath his buildings he built
Zero. He built nothing. He was an architect.
Wow, I forgot about the phone calls
Architects still visit job sites so he has good reason to be at one so it’s possible
The 911 phone call has since been released. You can find it pretty easily online. It honestly sounds like Shannon Gilbert was tripping and her client and driver were just trying to get her home.
Shannon Gilbert allegedly has nothing to do with this crime. She hasn’t been mentioned in any of the many reports I’ve watched on this case nor was she mentioned in the press conference, which kind of makes me sad. Whatever happened to her that night, she is the real hero in this case. Had she not gone missing in Oak Beach, Rex Heuermann would still be walking free. Her disappearance is what sparked the search for these women and because of her they were found.
It's always satisfaying to see someone like him being caught after probably believing he would get away with it.
That is one BIG serial killer for them to have missed for over a decade .. but glad he is caught!
If you watch cold case files you will see more you must read and watch more
@@Myse-22mno, he’s being stupid and making a fat joke. Super original material.

@@CATNAPREAL1188He’s definitely fat
He wasn’t missed,police knew who he was years ago.WHITE ON WHITE crimes,massacres,is always swept under the rug.😢
Good job to everyone involved in solving that mystery. How could anyone be so disgusting as to hinder that investigation!
Because it’s an elite area.

There is a lot of them to hide.
Two different killers or more ?
Yes, the department was so corrupt at the time.
It all boils down to these agencies dropping the ball on this case because of ego trips between agencies.. It's sad and pathetic. This happens all the time in law enforcement
In this case worse. The Superiors were involved in illegal activities with sex workers and they suppressed evidence and stopped investigations and turned down FBI assistance to avoid getting caught. It wasn't until the police chief was arrested and they had new chief that they invited the FBI, years after the bodies were discovered.
I feel so much empathy for his victims and their families, I also hope people remember his own family are his victims in a strange way too and leave them in peace, their world has just been ripped wide open.
One of the victims tried to scam him. I think it was Amber Costello
Wow he’s ducking huge 😳 he’s like a foot taller than everyone. Would of been so hard for them girls to fight back 😔 r.i.p to all of them 💔
The girls he chose were small in stature.
6'5" 260lbs. Women wouldn't stand a chance.
Yep and notice how small the victims were. All under 5’4” and very small and petite. They described him as an ogre and whomever did so, was right! He’s enormous
One was 4ft 10 in ...she
Would have looked like a 10 year old next to him ....
@@bamboosho0t No matter one's size, the eyes, wind pipe, balls and nose are vulnerable. The problem is remaining calm headed and not getting knocked out by the creep first.
There is no way he started killing when he was in his mid to late 40s. There are probably more victims
wow! Fantastic reporting by everyone who put this together and presented it. Such a big case and break and complicated investigation to have to explain so quickly, and I'm sure through high emotions. Well done, thanks.
Life sentences for many killings? That is a joke. Should be death penalty for all murderers.
Totally agree with you 👍 💯
YESSSSS!!!
Sadly, no DP in NY. But he might get under someone’s nerves in the Big house, so there is that.
He deserves Texas chainsaw
He is a big guy so it'll be multiple people that give him justice!! Bet he a big sissy, that's why he choose young and small built people..I just wonder if all the bodies are his that were found there!
To all those girls. I am very sorry. May you rest in peace.
Love and strength to all the victims families.
hurricane sandy could have washed away many more and those families may never find closure😢
@@rain0069 Hurricane Sandy hit 2 years after the first remains were found in 2010. I would hope they did a fairly thorough search on numerous occasions. Cadaver dogs are really really good at their duties. Of course remains could have been missed during those searches but based on the way the bodies had been disposed and concealed… I think that they found them all. At least for that location. I really don’t think he would dispose of more bodies there in the two years leading up to Sandy. He didn’t seem like he WANTED to be caught. He used burners. I get he taunted some families but never the police(he wasn’t trying to play cat and mouse) Yeah, so going back to that scene w/ more bodies seems unlikely. Just my 2 cents.
Take care.
@@shards0fwords they said yesterday he's not connected to the Jersey cases because he tracked himself with the others

True, it's the first thing I thought when I heard he lived with a wife and 2 daughters. Imagine the horror when you realize you've been living with a monster
He did this because they definitely were sitting on this for a while
It's pretty much 99% that he did this, you don't leave your DNA and your wife's DNA on dead bodies by accident.

Love me some abc7 news. Ty abc for giving me and mines for years the good journalism and most importantly the coverage of local news for us here in NYC. Much appreciated.
A woman made a 911 call on him earlier this month saying he was following her around the park and creepy. He was on the prowl again and police arrested him because they feared he was about to kill again
That’s scary I live on Long Island.
Yeah the police took too long he could have killed so many more times while they were watching him.
I'm glad for the family that the killer was found.However,In the beginning, the investigation was done sloppily and it was as if someone was covering up the murderer.
Bigot!
Embarrassed cause it was in an high class area.
That’s one reason I’m not convinced that Rex is the murderer. I’ve lost faith in the feds..and though he likely is the killer, due to the known corruption of the FBI, it’s possible he’s a patsy.
Yup the fbi was involved and didn't take it seriously 2007 and 2010
I think the reasons it took so long to solve the murder are 1) these girls were involved in high risk behavior (drugs, prostitution) so the cops did not prioritize this case, and 2) remember the Gilgo 4 victims were found only because the cops were looking for Shannan Gilbert. Although Shannan's body was found in the same area as the Gilgo 4, her death was unconnected but the cops worked on the assumption her death was connected and that threw them off the right trail for years.
God bless the team that made this DAY.... God bless them all for not giving up ...
This guy went a massive killing spree for 10 years or may be more .who knows how many more he has killed.We have that many young people who dissapeared each year, makes you wonder whether he hasn't been doing this a lot longer in other areas too that we are not aware of .Imagine living next door to a guy who is well established ,nice car and house acting very friendly to all those in the community only to discover he is a serial killer , .just the thought of it bring chills down my spine.
He's only connected to 3 victims and maybe a 4th.
I believe this has been a killer’s dumping site. He might not have killed all of them.
well craigslist was pretty new i’d say back to 2008
Yea but did he just stop killing after the bodies were found? Or kept on and changed how he did it

Employee: "Sorry, I gotta take some personal time to go look at the house of a suspected serial killer. This is a big case."
Employer: "Don't bother coming back."
Crazy that's the one thing you gleaned from this 18 minute video
The new police chief said he’d take on this case. And he sure delivered. I wanna know why the other police chief was so sketchy about this case. He did everything he could to railroad this case that to many, he seemed to be the killer. Or at least was protecting the killer.
Now I wonder if there’s any connection or he was just a crappy police Chief.
I’ve been all over this case since it began. I was actually watching a true crime video on the Gilgo beach murders the day before he got caught.
DNA Technology has been a game changer for assisting crime investigation ! Prayers for the families involved!
What DNA evidence are you talking about
I don't think it's only 4 victims, cuz how can a serial killer stand not killing for years.
He looks dangerous. And he is huge.
He's a Goliath/giant.
One victim was only 4 ft 11in
She would look like a 10 year old next to him ..😢
All his victims were about 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. Dude is a weak punk. A big girl like me would have kicked his you know what!! 👊
Scary that in this day and age a serial killer could get away with it for a decade. Scary. Glad he finally has been caught.
In what day and age was that not true? It used to be so much harder to track people. People used to have literal death hotels. Where they'd be like yeah that's the guy who kills people. They were extremely sloppy to the point the only way they would catch them was when they'd get caught in the act, or several victims escaped.
@@mycollegeshirt i think the person you're responding to would agree with you, in that it used to be harder to catch people
I knew who he was since 2022 😢
Every account of a serial killer’s life and personality is like, “He seemed very successful and normal. Unless of course you count his obvious and obsessive hatred for women, which we didn’t.”
'I didn't do this' while crying. Girl, please! They would never make such a big arrest if they weren't a million percent sure they had the right guy 🙄

More than likely. There could be other bodies from other killers..
Excellent reporting. Learned a lot about the case.
Here are some more revealing information - His wife's DNA was found on three of the victims' bodies, also the investigators found unidentified female hairs on three victims too. Not to say his wife was involved, but there might be a female accomplice involved too.
If they were killed in his house that would explain his wifes DNA. Her hair would be everywhere.
From tape he used according to another report. They said his wife was out of town during the crimes.
I shed hair a lot, it's possible his wife's hair was on his clothing and transferred onto his victims. His wife was apparently not in the country during the murders, which I'm sure was deliberate on his part because that would make it so much easier to pull the crimes off.
More likely that it is simple transfer DNA. You would expect to find spousal DNA and hair in pretty significant amounts. I feel sorry for the wife and kids. They have to leave the area, probably with limited resources.
@@f.taylor yeah, could be the case, if the wife was out of the country, he had the house to himself, he brought in those girls, he had plenty of time to torture them then kill them after he was done.
You never know who your neighbor is. Scary.
This took such a long time, but better late then never. Josh it has to be rewarding 10 years later to be delivering this news. How traumatic for his wife and 2 daughters as well.

If one of my employees took a personal day to go look at a serial killer's home, I'd have to rethink having hired him.
It's personal. And it matters. Bosses need to understand these things.

It’s called a personal day. It’s none of your business. As long as their allowed to have the day off.
Oh shut up. If he has a personal day owi g to him, and he is interested in crime cases, why wouldn't he? How is it harming the boss, or you? This is a huge case and if I lived in the vicinity I would also go and watch because I think it's interesting.

Well praise the Lord, and for one mother who wasnt too ashamed to fight for justice.
But where was the Lord when they were being murdered?
using a burner for selfies?!?!? he got so confident.
Lots of evidence on this guy already and the investigation is far from over. The smoking gun 🔫 of his wifes hair strand in the knots of the burlap is just insane. An each time a victim was murdered his wife was out of town so that shows he had the victims over to their home at some point.😮 This sk is toast.
No, it just means the burlap sack was either kept in the home or he just had his wife's hair on him and transferred it to the sack without realizing it.

Nope. His DNA on his victims is his downfall. But he wasn't found by a search of DNA databases, as his or a blood relative's DNA isn't in there. The investigators homed in on him through other evidence, and then confirmed his DNA on the discarded pizza matches the DNA on the victims.
