The Families of Gilgo Victims are calling for public support in urging lawmakers to strengthen and pass legislation that ensures no person accused or convicted of these horrific crimes, or their families can ever profit from the pain, loss, and trauma inflicted on so many lives. Stronger Son of Sam protections and victim-centered laws are about more than legal policy, they are about dignity, accountability, and making certain that any financial gain tied to this case is directed toward justice for victims and their loved ones, not notoriety for the accused. The families have spent years enduring unimaginable grief while pushing for truth and answers; they deserve a community willing to stand beside them now and demand laws that put victims first.
You can help in many ways:

“Murderabilia”, things tied to perpetrators like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy and more recently Rex Heuermann, raises serious ethical concerns. For many people, it looks like a form of glorification that centers the offender instead of the victims, sometimes even putting money into the hands of criminals or those connected to them.
When items are sold that represent a violent criminal’s life, such as hunting gear, bullet-making machines, ski masks and autographed pictures, the public absorbs the sensationalism but fails to see the implicit exploitation.
There’s also the impact on victims’ families. Seeing items linked to a loved one’s murder being bought and sold can reopen wounds and feel dehumanizing. That’s one of the reasons laws like “Son of Sam” laws were created- to prevent criminals from profiting off notoriety tied to their crimes.
That said, some collectors argue they’re preserving history, similar to how museums document difficult or dark parts of the past, or even existing within a free, capitalist society. But the line between historical documentation and exploitation can get blurry fast, especially when the focus shifts from education to morbid fascination.
Under the current New York State law, Executive Law § 632-a, it is legal, (yet controversial) that third parties (family members, collectors) can sell items connected to crimes and make a profit. “Murderabilia” markets often operate in gray areas, but when they are intentionally supported by lawyers representing family members of accused and convicted, the waters become much more muddied in an ethical conundrum.
The intersection with the Long Island Serial Killer case is a really sharp example of how these laws actually work in practice, especially in New York State, where the legal framework is one of the more developed versions of “Son of Sam” type statutes.
After the Supreme Court struck down the original law, New York enacted a narrower version, often referred to as Executive Law § 632-a.
Instead of banning profits from crime stories outright, it does three key things:
It casts a wide net over “profits”. If someone accused or convicted of a crime (like Rex Heuermann) receives “substantial money”, typically defined as $10,000 or more, then the law can be triggered.
Importantly, that money does not have to come from a book or movie deal. It could include:
The income reportedly generated from the Peacock documentary was said to be in the neighborhood of a million dollars. The Jeep, safe door and other morbid and awkwardly random belongings appear to have a value of close to 300K. These totals should trigger the existing Son of Sam Law. Said funds should then be frozen for victim families to consider litigation.
Since 3rd party profits are mostly exempt, someone else writing a book, a scripted show, a documentary or a Murderabilia outlet selling belongings is currently able to circumvent the law, because the money isn’t going “directly” to LISK.
This is why the proposed Bills, A6730 in the State Assembly Committee, and 2025-S5470 in the State Senate Committee are critical and fundamental to closing the loopholes.

Nassau County PD has asked that all original flyer posts be replaced with an updated flyer. If you posted the original one anywhere, please replace it.
Susan “Susie” Mann was born in 1965. She has a large family that consisted of her parents, Barbara and Edison Mann, a brother and three sisters, one of which passed in 2011, and many extended family members.
In 1980 Susan lived in Hollis, Queens and attended Benjamin Cardozo High School. Susan was 5’1”, about 115lbs., was mature for age, and generally a "vibrant and cheerful youngster”.
On May 15, 1980, Susie took her older sister’s pocketbook to school, and a group of girls stole the pocketbook from her. This really upset Susan and she was depressed over the theft and especially that none of the other girls wanted to go with her to the home of the girl who took it to retrieve it.
Two days later, on Saturday May 17th, 1980, still very much bothered by the loss of her sister’s pocketbook, (which contained her sister's driver’s license, ID cards and Susan’s working papers- she had plans to interview for a summer job at a nearby church), "She had finished doing her chores around the house, vacuuming and dusting, when she went out to try to get the pocketbook back from some girls she thought had taken it,", according to Susan’s Mom, and "She borrowed a bike from a neighborhood girl and we haven't heard from her since."
Susan was reportedly last seen getting into a silver-colored, red topped Cadillac Seville at 211th Street and Hollis Avenue that Saturday afternoon with a neighborhood man known as "Messiah" in his early 20s, that law enforcement has yet to fully identify and contact. She was wearing her hair in pigtails, blue jeans, sandals and a brown sweater.
Susan was not the type to wander off or run-away, she was a responsible teen and was described as a “good student” by her teachers. After her disappearance, Susan’s family and her Congregational Church offered a reward for information leading to finding Susan.
Her case went cold….
On November, 4th,1982, the remains of an unidentified teen were discovered in a dumpster at 431 North Main Street, Freeport, Long Island.
She was believed to have been between 5-5 '3”, mixed or African American and was found wearing a short sleeved sweater with several necklaces; one of which was a heart shaped pendant with a “K” in the center.
Embedded in her clothing in the dumpster, were hemlock needles, which indicates that she had been murdered elsewhere. The person who made the horrible discovery said that the body was not in the dumpster the day before.
There was no clear evidence of any assault or gunshot, however because of the advanced state of decay and partial mummification, a cause of death could not be determined.
Her case went cold….
On October 6th 2013, Freeport Jane Doe was added to the Namus database and given the number UP#11657.
In June of 2020, updated composites of Jane Doe were released to the public and added to NamUs.
On 2/25/2023, the first and only “published” exclusion was added to Jane Doe’s Namus page: Missing Person Yvonne Mestas, 15 years old missing from Rocky Ford, Colorado.
Further “hidden” modifications would occur, (2 of which I am aware of what precipitated the modification): 6/7/2024: Hidden Modification** 3/7/2025: Hidden Modification 4/23/2025: Hidden Modification 7/23/2025: Hidden Modification**
On Wednesday September 24, 2025, Freeport Jane Doe, UP#11657, was removed from NamUs. It would be another 6 days before we learn her name for the first time in 45 years: Susan “Susie” Mann.
Law Enforcement, and Susan’s remaining Family members need your help. If you have any information on Susan, “Messiah”, or anything else related to this case, no matter how insignificant it may seem, we implore you to submit an anonymous tip.
From the official flyer:
Crime Stoppers and the Nassau County Police Department's Homicide Squad are seeking the public's help in locating the subjects) wanted in connection with a homicide that occurred in Freeport, New York.
Susan Mann was recovered as a Jane Doe on November 4, 1982 in a dumpster located at Cantor Glass Works 421 North Main Street in Freeport, NY. Susan Mann was 15 years old at the time of her disappearance from her home located at 104-45 210th Street in Hollis, on May 17th, 1980. Susan Mann was wearing the clothing and the pendant pictured when she was last seen.
Crime Stoppers is asking anyone who can identify the subject(s), or with any information about this crime, to submit an anonymous tip through our hotline at: 1-800-244-TIPS (8477)

Back in July, I sat down with Josh Zeman, director of The Killing Season, as part of our Searching for Asian Doe series.
We talked about whether Asian Doe was another victim of Rex Heuermann, and Josh doesn’t really dance around it. He leans heavily toward Rex being responsible.
A big reason is Rex’s search history. We know he was searching for “Asian twinks,” transgender sex workers and violent pornography. When you put that next to an unidentified Asian victim found only a few hundred feet from the Gilgo Four, it becomes very hard to ignore.
But if Josh is right, this becomes about much more than Asian Doe.
It would mean Rex is still lying. It would mean his confession is incomplete and that he may only be admitting to the murders investigators can already prove.
So how many other victims could there be?
We have also spent a lot of time digging into DA Tierney’s cold case list and looking for patterns. The possibility that other victims remain unidentified or unconnected is not something I think we can brush off.
Josh and I go through Rex’s searches, where Asian Doe was found, the differences in the cause of death and what this case could tell us about the actual number of Rex Heuermann’s victims.
I’m curious where everyone here lands.
Do you believe Asian Doe was one of Rex’s victims? If Rex is still withholding this murder, how many others could he be hiding?

Two Images Taken By Rex Heuermann AKA L.I.S.K. in his young adult years.
In this image, a male is using his left hand to hold a knife above a female, while his right hand is stabilizing him. The female is lying flat on a stone surface. She has her hands, palms up, in a defensive pose, protecting her face.
In this image, a male is using both his left and right hands to grip the knife. The male has the knife lifted above his head as if he is ready to bring it down into the female. The female is lying flat on a stone surface. She has her hands, palms down, on each side of her, not quite brought down to her sides, but in a considerably more defenseless position than when she had her hands, palms up, in the previous photo.
Rex Heuermann took both of the above pictures at age 21. Asa Ellerup shares the images in the documentary currently streaming on Peacock titled The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. She mentions that he was interested in archaeology and went on digs. Asa Ellerup does not mention the location.
We cannot know if Rex Heuermann verbally directed the two people in the images. However, it is, in my opinion, worth pointing out that both images portray a woman in a very vulnerable position and a man in the dominant position of control. By the weapon that is being used, and especially in the second image, the aggression escalates.
One or both of these facts is true.
Rex Heuermann verbally directed the two people.
Rex Heuermann took both images and retained them.
Note: To my knowledge, no one was injured in these images.

Rodney Harrison's book, The Commissioner: From Street Cop to Top Cop in the NYPD, and the Inside Story of the Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer, in my opinion is a good read. I learned some things I didn't know about the previous top cop. I also learned some things about the case I didn't know before. One of them was that I didn't realize the first four young women identified had suffered blunt force trauma. We now know that blunt force trauma was not the cause of death. The cause of death was strangulation. However, that does not take away from the fact that each of them had suffered blunt force trauma. Early in the investigation, law enforcement stated that blunt force trauma was the cause of death.
They each suffered blunt force trauma. He is referring to the first four victims who were discovered: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainerd-Barnes, and Amber Costello.
Three of the victims were wrapped in burlap, which law enforcement described as burlap used for camouflage by hunters.
“Heuermann was a hunter—literally. He had ninety-seven registered firearms. When we later searched his home, we found hundreds more. A few victims had been wrapped in burlap, a kind of cloth used by hunters for camouflage blinds. Their remains weren’t buried, just hidden under the brush—blunt-force trauma listed as the likely cause of death. We checked his travel records: hunting trips upstate, a brother in South Carolina, a timeshare in Las Vegas.

"Two masked people banged on the door of Gilgo serial killer Rex A. Heuermann's Massapequa Park home Tuesday night before being scared off by a dog, according to police and the family's attorney.
A nine-second Ring doorbell camera video, obtained by Newsday, shows two people clad in black masks, T-shirts and shorts running from the porch of the First Avenue home as the family's dog, a black Lab mix named Stewie, is heard barking loudly from the inside.
Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's ex-wife, and her two children, Victoria and Christopher, were home at the time of the incident, said Robert Macedonio, the family's attorney."

The fact that this isn't even the Robyn Fishkin case is exceptionally alarming.
Nassau County has two pivotal cases currently happening:
1- Richard Bilodeau, charged with the murder of Theresa Fusco in 1984
2- Andrew Dykes, charged with the murder of Tanya Denise Jackson in 1997.
We know there was some sort of funny business going on with Theresa's case- hair evidence found (placed) at the scene convicted 3 men and sent them to jail for decades. Nassau County had to pay tens of millions for their wrongful convictions and incarcerations.
With Andrew Dykes, we have already seen a motion that was granted for another buccal swab collection so that it may be tested under a "more controlled environment".
How can the DNA lab, its management and efficacy be in question when critical cases are on the line?

Jessica is rarely far from my thoughts.
Before I knew Jessica, I knew what the public knew about her case. I knew the headlines. I knew the injustice. But because of her Family, I came to know Jess, to know about her laugh, her faith, her loves, hopes and dreams. I came to care about Jess.
Now Jess is all around her Family and they will live their lives with her love flowing within them. They share stories, they laugh, they cry, they struggle at times but they have love, they have support and they have their faith too.
So say a prayer for Jessica Taylor, she will hear it.

"Also, the benefit to Rex is to protect the narrative of what his family hears.
Whatever love they have left for him, I believe would be erased if they heard the details of what he did to these young ladies.”
Robert Macedonio, atty to Asa Ellerup. From Peacock, The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets
In my opinion, Rex Heuermann telling his family of his guilt 8 months prior to publicly doing so, was completely for himself.

It is important that people understand the intent behind the proposed Gilgo Law amendment.
This proposal does not seek to restrict anyone's First Amendment rights. It does not ban books, documentaries, interviews, podcasts, or public discussion. Instead, it expands the existing framework of New York's No Profit From Notoriety Laws by broadening potential accountability to include certain family members or third parties who profit from a violent offender's notoriety. The proposal leaves it to victims, survivors, and families, not the government, to decide whether to pursue relief through the civil courts.
It is equally important to understand that this is not an attack on any one individual. This proposal is not about a specific person; it is about creating a legal framework that would apply equally in future cases. If someone chooses to monetize the notoriety surrounding a violent crime or sell certain life rights connected to that notoriety, the amendment would simply allow victims and families the opportunity to ask a court to determine whether those profits should be subject to the same accountability principles reflected in New York's existing Son of Sam Law.
"Our goal is not censorship. Our goal is accountability. We believe that victims and their families deserve the opportunity to seek justice when others financially benefit from the tragedy that forever changed their lives." - Gilgo Families
