What Rex Heuermann Told a Victim’s Family After He Killed Their Daughter

Rex Heuermann strangled eight women over seventeen years. A judge handed him consecutive life sentences and told officers to get him out of the courtroom. The families of those women stood in that courtroom and addressed the man who destroyed their lives. One of them told the court about a phone call Heuermann made after the murder — a call that was not a confession.

That phone call is at the center of this conversation. It tells you something about Heuermann that goes beyond the killings themselves. It tells you what kind of person the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit is about to sit across from when he begins the cooperation sessions required by his plea deal. He will be required to be truthful, accurate, and complete about everything he did. He will relive every detail. And every expert who has studied this case believes the FBI already knows something the public hasn’t caught up to yet: eight is probably not the real number.

Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, walks through the sentencing, the BAU cooperation, and what Heuermann’s post-crime behavior reveals about what else he may have done.
