  2. Did Asa Ellerup Know What Rex Heuermann Was Doing in Their Basement for Seventeen Years?

    Did Asa Ellerup Know What Rex Heuermann Was Doing in Their Basement for Seventeen Years?

    That is the question that sits underneath everything in this case. Prosecutors say the murders happened when the family was away. The wrongful death lawsuit from Valerie Mack's son says the family knew or deliberately avoided knowing. Asa's attorney says she had no knowledge or involvement. Victoria says she believes her father most likely did it. Asa may never get there.This is a live airing of the full three-part conversation between psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and Tony Brueski. The first chapter covers the jailhouse confession — Asa calling him Mr. Heuermann, the number eight delivered without hesitation, and the mother-daughter split that followed. The second chapter addresses how someone maintains a double life for seventeen years and what Heuermann's courtroom behavior tells a clinician. The third chapter goes into the basement — what it means that Asa rebuilt it and sleeps there, why she chose not to attend sentencing, and whether the mind can truly choose not to see what is happening inside your own house.Bring your questions. This one is going to land. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

  3. What Does Eric Bland Think Happens Next for Murdaugh's Victims?

    What Does Eric Bland Think Happens Next for Murdaugh's Victims?

    Eric Bland helped bring down Alex Murdaugh's financial empire. He represented the families Murdaugh stole from. He watched the prosecution turn his work into a motive theory that convicted Murdaugh of double murder. And then the Supreme Court overturned everything — and told prosecutors they'd gone too far with the very evidence Bland helped assemble. Now Bland is watching the retrial take shape from a position nobody else has. He knows the financial records. He knows what was presented and what was left out. He represents both the Satterfield family and Sandy Smith — the two families most directly affected by what the Murdaugh case uncovers next. And he has real concerns about what trial two produces for the people he represents. On Hidden Killers Live, Bland gives his fullest account yet of where things stand across all three fronts — the overturned conviction and what it did to his clients, the retrial and whether the state can win a narrower case, and Stephen Smith's eleven-year-old unsolved homicide that keeps intersecting with the Murdaugh name. This is the long-form conversation with the attorney who connects every piece.

    Asa Ellerup Says the Nightmares Will Follow Her for the Rest of Her Life

    That is what she told the Peacock documentary crew. Every night. For the rest of her life. And she is saying this from inside the house where Rex Heuermann confessed to killing seven women in the basement — a basement she gutted, rebuilt, and moved into.Asa chose not to attend sentencing. Her attorney said the day belongs to the families. Valerie Mack's son has filed a lawsuit alleging Asa and her daughter Victoria knew about or avoided knowing about the killings and profited from a documentary deal reportedly worth over a million dollars. The neighborhood wants the house torn down. Strangers drive by with cameras.This is a live conversation. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and Tony Brueski are talking through what it looks like when someone chooses to live inside the aftermath rather than walk away from it — and whether the repetition of telling and retelling the story to documentary crews is processing or something else entirely.

  5. Did Rex Heuermann Feel Anything When He Admitted to Killing Eight Women?

    Did Rex Heuermann Feel Anything When He Admitted to Killing Eight Women?

    In court, Rex Heuermann said strangulation in the same tone every time the DA asked how each woman died. He answered yes and no and eight and nothing else. He did not turn around. He did not acknowledge the families. His attorney described the plea as bringing a huge sense of relief.He ran a double life for seventeen years — architecture firm by day, murders timed to the family vacation calendar. People around him called him respectful and normal. Every woman he killed was someone whose absence the world was unlikely to track.This is a live conversation. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and Tony Brueski are talking through the clinical reality of compartmentalization at this scale — how someone maintains that partition, whether the normal suburban version of Heuermann was real or performance, and what the FBI should expect now that he has agreed to cooperate with their Behavioral Analysis Unit.

  6. Did Rex Heuermann Really Confess That He Killed Seven Women in Their Basement?

    23h ago

    Did Rex Heuermann Really Confess That He Killed Seven Women in Their Basement?

    He did. In a supervised jailhouse visit, Rex Heuermann told his ex-wife Asa Ellerup that he killed eight women — and that seven of them died in the basement of the Massapequa Park house where they raised their children. He timed the killings for when the family was away on vacation.Asa's reaction to the confession is captured in the Peacock documentary The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. She addressed him as Mr. Heuermann — not Rex — when she asked him to confirm the number. Their daughter Victoria has since told producers she believes her father most likely committed the murders. Asa's attorney has said she may never fully accept it.This is a live conversation between Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott about what happens inside a family when a serial killer confesses. Not the legal fallout — the psychological one. What it does to memory, identity, and the ability to trust your own perception of the person you lived with for nearly three decades.

  7. What Happens When Adam Montgomery Goes Back on Trial for Murder?

    What Happens When Adam Montgomery Goes Back on Trial for Murder?

    Adam Montgomery’s murder retrial in the Harmony Montgomery case will look nothing like the first trial. The assault evidence is out. The independent witnesses who corroborated the pattern are excluded. What’s left is a murder charge that depends on Kayla Montgomery — a witness who did prison time for lying to investigators — and a cover-up timeline that the Supreme Court says only proves what happened after Harmony died. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part conversation. The legal mechanics behind the unanimous reversal: what went wrong at trial, why the defense ended up arguing both sides of the joinder issue, and what people misunderstand about a conviction being overturned. The retrial calculus: prosecution strategy, defense strategy, and the question of whether Kayla can carry a murder conviction alone. And the questions that outlast the courtroom: Montgomery’s silence about Harmony’s location, the civil judgments, the system failures, and what justice looks like when a little girl’s body has never been found and her father won’t say where she is.

  8. What Does Eric Bland Know About Stephen Smith That He Hasn't Said Yet?

    What Does Eric Bland Know About Stephen Smith That He Hasn't Said Yet?

    Eric Bland has represented Sandy Smith since 2023 and has been publicly careful about what he shares regarding her son's unsolved death. But he's also dropped specific claims that suggest he knows more than he's saying. He told this show that the Murdaugh family may have known something about Stephen's death. He's hinted at relationships Stephen may have had with someone powerful. And he's been pressing SLED for information about what triggered the reopening of the case during the Murdaugh murder investigation. On Hidden Killers Live, Bland goes further than he has anywhere else. He addresses the sealed autopsy, the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement with Warner Bros., and whether SLED is waiting for the retrial to play out before making a move on Stephen's case. He also answers the question Sandy Smith has been living with for more than a decade — whether any mechanism exists for her to access new evidence or testimony that the retrial process might produce. This isn't a recap of what's publicly known about Stephen Smith. This is the family's attorney assessing whether the Murdaugh retrial opens a door that's been closed for eleven years — and whether anyone on the other side is willing to walk through it.
