Rex Heuermann And The Similarities To The Green River Killer (9/2/25)

Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, and Gary Ridgway, the convicted Green River Killer, share several chilling similarities that connect them across decades of American true crime. Both men led double lives, maintaining outward appearances of ordinary suburban family men while concealing dark, predatory compulsions. Heuermann, an architect living in a quiet Long Island neighborhood, and Ridgway, a truck painter in Washington state, blended seamlessly into their communities, masking their crimes behind stable jobs, marriages, and domestic normalcy. Each targeted vulnerable women—primarily sex workers—whom they could lure or ambush with relative ease, exploiting society’s indifference toward marginalized victims.In addition, both men displayed patterns of meticulousness mixed with chilling detachment. Ridgway confessed to dozens of murders and often revisited his dumping grounds, while Heuermann is suspected of carefully disposing of victims in a concentrated area near Gilgo Beach, suggesting ritualistic behavior and comfort with his chosen environment. Law enforcement has drawn parallels in how both operated with a predatory patience, taking advantage of gaps in police oversight and a lack of urgency in cases involving sex workers. Ultimately, their similarities lie not only in their crimes, but in their ability to present as unremarkable, blending into ordinary life while hiding a monstrous reality.to contact me:[email protected]:Rex Heuermann's Alleged Murder Profile Mirrors Green River Killer: Expert - NewsweekBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
