The accused Long Island Serial Killer is reportedly expected to plead guilty. After nearly three years, after every failed defense motion, Rex Heuermann — the man charged as the Gilgo Beach Killer — is apparently done fighting.

Eric Faddis joins me live for the full breakdown. We cover the plea dynamics — what drove the decision, what the defense has left to negotiate, what the judge's role is. We examine the evidence — the deleted planning document, the DNA matched through whole genome sequencing, the pizza crust that started it all — and Faddis explains why the Gilgo Beach Killer defense fought the science but not the document. And we get into what the LISK plea can't answer — Shannan Gilbert, the Bittrolff reversal, the remaining victims, the systemic failures that allowed someone to allegedly target vulnerable women for nearly two decades.

Faddis brings the dual perspective of a former prosecutor and current defense attorney. He explains the legal mechanics, reads between the lines of DA Tierney's public statements, and gives a direct answer on whether a Gilgo Beach Killer plea without a trial is justice — or just efficiency.

This is the complete LISK conversation. Live. No filter.

Rex Heuermann is expected to plead guilty to seven murders. But the Gilgo Beach Killer case has always involved more victims than one defendant can account for — and a plea doesn't resolve the rest.

Eric Faddis joins me live to examine what's left on the table. We talk about the remaining LISK victims whose cases have never been charged to Heuermann. We dig into the Bittrolff reversal — prosecutors once publicly attributed Sandra Costilla's murder to a different convicted killer, then charged the accused Long Island Serial Killer instead — and what that dramatic reversal means for the credibility of the investigation.

We discuss Shannan Gilbert — the woman whose disappearance started the search that uncovered everything — and why her case sits in its own unresolved category. Faddis explains what happens to cold cases when the public pressure disappears after a headline resolution, and whether the alternative suspect argument carries any legal weight going forward.

We also get into the behavioral profile — the alleged timing of killings when Heuermann's family was traveling, the planning document, the internet history — and what it tells us about how someone allegedly maintains a compartmentalized life across nearly two decades. And we close on the fundamental question: does a Gilgo Beach Killer plea without a trial serve justice, or does it just serve efficiency?

Two pillars of evidence reportedly made Rex Heuermann's LISK case unwinnable — a deleted planning document recovered from his hard drive and DNA linking the accused Gilgo Beach Killer to multiple victims through a technology never before admitted in a New York courtroom.

Eric Faddis joins me live to break both down with the precision of someone who's prosecuted and defended murder cases. We walk through what a Frye hearing looks like from the inside — what the Long Island Serial Killer defense needed to prove and why the judge ruled whole genome sequencing admissible. We examine the planning document's alleged contents — supplies, problems, disposal sites, targets, "Mindhunter" references — and why the defense reportedly challenged the DNA but not the document.

Faddis explains how investigators pulled deleted files from over 350 seized devices using forensic tools — and where the science has vulnerabilities that could have been attacked. We trace the evidentiary chain from a pizza crust in a trash can to DNA matches connecting Rex Heuermann to multiple Gilgo Beach crime scenes spanning years. And we get into the behavioral significance of a defendant who allegedly identified DNA as his top concern in a planning document — and then was caught by DNA anyway.

This is the LISK evidence deep-dive. Faddis holds nothing back.

Rex Heuermann's LISK defense lost every major pretrial battle — DNA admissibility, trial separation, the omnibus motion. Now reports indicate the accused Gilgo Beach Killer is expected to plead guilty to the alleged murders of seven women found on Long Island.

Former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins me live to break this down in real time. We walk through the prosecution's strategy from the 2022 cold case reopening to the charges that kept stacking — three, then four, then six, then seven — and how DA Ray Tierney methodically built the Gilgo Beach case to leave the defense nowhere to go.

Faddis explains the plea negotiation process from the inside. What does a defense attorney actually ask for when the leverage is gone? What does Tierney gain from a plea versus taking the Long Island Serial Killer case to a September trial he was reportedly prepared to win? And what does the judge's role look like when the plea is formally presented — can Judge Mazzei reject it, and under what circumstances would he?

We also talk about what's lost when a LISK case of this magnitude resolves without a trial. The families were notified before the public. Some have waited over two decades. Faddis speaks to what a plea provides and what silence replaces when the courtroom never hears the full weight of the evidence against the Gilgo Beach Killer.

Three parts. Three angles nobody else is covering. One psychotherapist who has spent thirty years in the field and grew up inside a fundamentalist system herself.

Join Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski for the complete live series with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — the most in-depth psychological examination of the Duggar family available anywhere. Part 1 breaks down the family's reported witch hunt framing and what spiritual bypassing actually looks like in real time. Part 2 focuses entirely on the children — the ones behind locked bedroom doors, the ones raised with blanket training, the generation being raised by parents who were never given the tools for healthy development. Part 3 examines Michelle Duggar — the mother who knew Josh was abusing her daughters and chose silence for over two decades, admitted he never got counseling, and has never publicly acknowledged what that silence cost them.

This is the conversation the headlines can't have. All three parts. Bring your questions.

She knew Josh was abusing her daughters in 2002. She knew again in 2003. She admitted Josh never got real counseling. She wrote a parenting article for a national magazine two months later. She built a brand on television around motherhood. She told Fox News her daughters didn't understand what Josh had done to them. Sworn testimony contradicted her.

Join Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski live with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for Part 3 of their three-part series — the most personal installment. This conversation is about the psychological wound that comes specifically from the mother's failure to protect. What happens inside a mother who makes those choices. What it does to the child watching her make them. And whether the cycle that produced Michelle Duggar's choices is about to repeat itself through Kendra Duggar — or whether there's still a moment where it could break.

For anyone who grew up with a parent who knew and didn't act — this is the conversation you've been waiting for. Bring your questions.

Part 3 of 3.

Locks on the outside of bedroom doors. A documented method of striking infants to break their will. Both parents arrested. Four children under eight caught in the middle. And seven more being raised by a mother whose husband is in federal prison.

Join Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski live with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott for Part 2 of their three-part conversation on the Duggar family — this time focused entirely on the children. What are they processing right now? What did blanket training do to them before they could walk? What does growing up behind a locked door do to a child's understanding of safety, autonomy, and trust? And can children raised inside a system built on control and obedience actually grow into psychologically healthy adults?

Scott brings thirty years of clinical expertise and her own experience inside fundamentalist religion to this conversation. Bring your questions — this is the part of the story that needs the most attention and is getting the least.

Joseph Duggar has been arrested on charges involving a child. His wife faces separate child endangerment charges after investigators reportedly found locks on the outside of their children's bedroom doors. And according to sources close to the family, some members are calling this a witch hunt — persecution for following Christ.

Join Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski live with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott as they break down the psychology behind that response in real time. Scott has spent thirty years treating people whose religious frameworks became the obstacle to their own accountability — and she grew up inside a fundamentalist system herself. She knows what it looks like from both sides.

What does it mean when a family has a pre-installed explanation for every consequence that has nothing to do with what anyone actually did? What is Joseph Duggar doing psychologically when he retreats into Scripture after allegedly confessing to harming a child? And what does it take to reach someone who genuinely believes a criminal investigation is spiritual warfare?

This is Part 1 of a three-part live series. Bring your questions.
