His mail exchange with the happy face and what he writes to him is enough to convince me he’s guilty.
Yep
With all the rumors from one of the victims attorneys I'm wondering if his wife helped him??it is kind of suspicious for her DNA to be on 3/4 of the original gilgo 4..
He wants the publicity in court like BTK.
@@adamirishconundrum851 nah once BTK was presented with the evidence he knew he was caught so he owned up to it. Now BCK wont man up until AT can get the DP off the table. That's his only card but I honestly think the victims parents will not agree to any deals!...In my opinion anyway
@@paulstevenson4873 Mr. BTK was loving the shit show in court and to this day craves the spotlight The ogre Rex is hoping to get the same treatment. He is screwed and he knows it. He is loving all the news articles and videos about him
I can’t believe the stupidity of people giving a serial killers wife money. Unbelievable.
It’s all about the almighty dollar and it’s sickening !
wait what??
@@damithasap they had a pretty sizable GoFundMe, a lot of which came from the true crime community. Disgusting.
So true I can't believe it
Well they are instant celebrities
His wife shouldn’t be getting a dam dime off these heinous crimes!
Right? How is that even possible. She should have to pay all the proceeds to the victims families. Maybe they can sue after or something.
Why? Shes a victim too
@@SubRosa33 perhaps, but we don't know that yet.
I agree it should be the victim's families. Who should get money not her
@@selenalopez8511 I totally agree!
The fact that Heurman wrote back, shows to me, that he relates to that serial killer. He would not write back, if he was some innocent guy.. I would'nt. 👈👈👈
Yeah, nah. You’re innocent no way you’re going to write back.
The only reason to write back is if I can relate. Guilty!!!
Bless his heart, nobody told him what was coming next, same for his victims, except they died.
Really interesting that so many serial killers are described as a "family men"
They compartmentalize their lives. Almost like someone with multiple personality disorders but in this case they are in control of and aware of all the personalities'.
Creepy perfect cover.
The happy face killer talks so well in this clip that for a few mins I forgot who he was!! lol. I almost humanized him a minute . But what he said is absolutely true. Rex is toast
I gotta say, it was very interesting to hear the perspective of a convicted serial killer after he made the comment about "If you are arrested, they already have the evidence against you."
I would love to hear what he thinks about the Bryan Kohburger Idaho 4 case.
I'll tell you what I think of that case I think they have a weak case and I think they know they have a weak case I think it's going to be very hard for them to convict Brian kolberger he's not stupid he's not going to sit there and tell on himself they're going to have to prove Beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed those crimes and from what they've let on they don't have much evidence unless they're hiding evidence from everybody but I doubt it that's why it's going to take so long to get him to trial they're going to let him sit in the county jail for about 4 years or more hope and he'll just cop a plea
9:33 the journalist doing the interview breathes/sighs like she is getting annoyed by him talking and talking 😂😂
Almost all serial killers are narcissists. So to them they are smarter and cleverer than everyone else.
A narcissist is someone who thinks the world revolves around them! So would be safe to say that's everyone in America is a narcissist...
He talks like “Rex” is a colleague.
They are flour from the same bag.
@@lulugoulart5014shit from the same asshole
They are both jealous of BTK
I mean they kinda are in a very creepy way
I love her sarcasm with this it’s really on point.😂
Haha came here to say the exact same thing-- "Loving the energy Ashley's bringing to this segment. It's giving big, 'I'm so over these loser POS I have to keep reporting on, bunch of scum douchebags. Get bent." 😂
Shes slurring, lady is drunk
His wife had something to do with it! And her greed is gonna eat her alive
very very true.
She looks creepy as F herself as does her daughter. Holy hell have you seen the daughter's death stare?! Terrifying.
How would you know that ???
Banfield is a bit off.
I wish he would write Chris Watts and explain to him that he needs to come off the truth.
RIP all victims 😢
That’s a very good idea. Do you think Chris Watts will ever tell the whole truth?
Its a different mindset. Watts isn't a serial killer
@@toroverde9329 He is a family annihilator
Listening to this guy you think you are just listening to a nice guy giving a friend advice. He is very articulate. Sad he ruined his life along with his familys and the victims.
God, Ashley Banfield is so dramatic.
I can’t take but a few seconds of her. I wish her segments were captioned so I didn’t have to endure the ridiculous drama.
Nancy Grace wannabe
Exactly, but there`s only one Nancy....@@achutates18
Yes, there is something about her commentary that works my nerves.
I used to really like her until she went to news nation. I don't understand the white shirt everyday either. Nobody else does that but her. Does anyone know why she does?
it's ridiculous. You are giving a serial killer a platform for attention for all eyes to be on him in this interview to listen to his thoughts his advice. This is horrible horrible reporting this just feeds his ego which is very much what serial killer want. Someone should get fired for this it's vile, horrible idea
You clicked on it and commented, so ur hhelping the vid get more views usin the algo.
However i do I agree that all the eyes “true crime” gets unfortunately does likely contribute to fueling killers motives which is why most get caught (on purpose in some cases)
An they know their story will be told and listened to .
We unfortunately live a society where everyomes heard of for example “ted bundy”, but cant name one victim
Why watch and comment?
Pretty sure the guy just goes back to his crappy prison life after this. The prison makes money from interviews.
@@jimbucket2996 I have never heard of prisons making money from interviews. That sounds ridiculous and false.
If he was smart, he would listen to this man's advice. It would be a smart play for him to get the best terms of where he going to be incarcerated. They going to bury him regardless. The wife already threw him under the bus and moved on. But for her not to know anything at all? Hard to believe
No, it's actually not hard at all. Women and men walk on separate paths on a daily! Wake up, eat dress take care of business. Husband my room my area. Please don't come in or touch! Garage, shed and barn. You get what I mean. Not hard at all. Different Lives.
RH has nothing to bargain with at this point. There's no reason for them to give him the best terms for anything.
@@user-hc9lp3hb1r they want him to admit to the crimes and bodies. They might know it all but they want him to admit it.
She absolutely knew! Ludicrous to think she didn't!!!!😂
@@apegrape4312 There's no evidence that she knew and the police already said this yet idiots like you persist in posting this nonsense until you get sued for libel and defamation.
The psychology of these serial killers is fascinating. He sounded so detached from his entire life before his arrest. It would be great if modern medicine and science in general could figure out what exactly it is that’s firing wrong in these people’s brains and correct it before anyone gets hurt
We know quite a lot actually.
Unfortunately unless we constantly monitor everyone's brains and alter their genetics, we can't prevent it.
It's the same biology that allows for the existence of life in general and can happen to any of us.
And, we couldn't force such invasive procedures on 8 billion folks anyway, especially prior to a legal conviction.
The Happy Face guy loves the attention
they do not fascinate us, they disgust us -
Both really
They fascinate Psychopaths like them
@@lizzeltired2155 im sure if you search hard enough within yourself. youll realize its simply disgust. lol
@@MrOptimusheathand you would admit it fascinates you .
@@jessephillips5114 lol not even slightly. death is already a natural part of life. all i see in those people is wasted lives. nothing interesting or fascinating at all. true nature though, now THATS! interesting.
RH will be incarcerated forever, no matter even if he got DP it takes an eternity do be executed...And he?s around 6oy/o., so he`s done and he knows it.
These killers are on a whole new level how well they can seem normal and credible when they speak we listen... this is scary.
This reporter feels lika a serial killer too 😂
Ugghhhh Banfield making fun of the "Suzanne .. whatever her name is.." moment, when she herself did the EXACT same thing about Claudia!! She has no shame.
Can we hear what he think of Kohberger? That's what we really want to know.
I don't. That one seems cut and dry at the end of the day. There are still 7 bodies I believe from Gilgo/Long Island that do not have a suspect. Ever since I learned about it in 2020 I thought it was one of the creepiest most mysterious cases I've ever heard of.
Very bad Nancy Grace impression by the host
Stop with the comedy routine and just report the news.
I came for this comment, she is trying so hard to be funny, and it is tasteless making light of grave tragedy. She is super cringe-worthy.
Did Jesperson sign the letters he sent to Rex H (the Gilgo serial killer) with a happy face?
What about the wife I wonder if she know😮😮😢
"Dum, Dum Got himself caught.". Then she said he confessed when he killed jis girlfriend. That aint getting caught.
Then she dont mention how two innocent people were in prison due to his first killing. Then dude professes his faith that the court systen never arrests the wrong guy.... Lol..wut? Like he forgot about two innocent people who served time cause of him.
He did get caught because of killing the girlfriend. Her friend(s) or family reported her missing, and had met KJ at least once. He sold or purchased a car or something, and had signed his real name, which was a lead after the woman was reported missing. That's how they got him.
I wonder what the odds of the wife’s hair transferring from the truck. What kind of clothes and seat coverings would hair cling to in order to transfer? Men’s dress shirts do not strike me as the type of fabric that HER hair would cling to.
The wife is in this up to her neck. She's not the innocent lamb o God she purports to be.
Quit giving murderers a platform!!!
It’s not about them it’s about learning how they think or walk in life
Maybe Kohberger should confess in order to get the death penalty off the table. IMO,he’s going to be convicted. I think his lawyer knows it, too.
DA has no reason to offer Kohberger a life deal. What does Kohberger have to offer them?
He’s way too smug to confess.
I really have a different outlook on this one. I don't see the evidence. just my thoughts
@@AngieEstlund Clearly you don't see/understand the evidence since his DNA was found on a knife sheath that was left right next to Maddie. Even Kohberger's own sister thought he was guilty before the DNA evidence came out.
@@AngieEstlund No evidence for which case? Kohberger, Jesperson, or Rex H.?
The butter is for buns but not bread 😂
They don't fascinate me so I'm not sure what you're talking about
You obviously have some interest, weird video to click if not
Right…..
Why do you watch? I’m curious
What are you watching
Your use of words and context is clearly not that of a large scope of understanding.
No, if you take a life, you forfeit your own. Life for a life.
So his wife is gonna make money out of something like i was married to the gilgo killer.
Why would he listen to another serial killer and or confess? Solve yourself. What does that mean?
Kohberger also never denied doing it.
Pleads not guilty would say otherwise lol
I can't believe serial killers can write to other serial killers and happy face gets to talk on the news getting all this attention.he loves it. Just rediculous. He sure is happy.
😂
Where is the proof ?
I'm listening.... These guys there mentioning are evil 😈 😈 monsters....
Mayb th media shoud focus on families & friends of victims of serial killers- (also survivors)- also coud focus more on missing people- not just white girls & women but all types of missing people
I don’t mean to be insensitive, but am I the only one who thought the sketch of “Claudia” looks just like the reporter?😮
Words of a prison system inmate connoisseur.
Such a dramatic newsreader
Sounds like he's got something in his mouth!
Are you trying to be funny?
@@whatmyohmy no it sounds like he's got his toothbrush in his mouth or food maybe.
Not funny.
@@kingjoseph5901 never said it was.
It does. Maybe the quality of the recording.
This is just Banfield waffling on nonsensically.
Shocking utterly shocking.
This women is disgusting! News nation needs to get it together and fire her your losing viewers
There's two women - Laura and Ashley. WTF are you talking about? Neither is "disgusting". Are you jealous?
What is wrong with you!!
I don't think that they think that they're all superior to us.
Did he write to Chris Watts?????
I THINK IS EXTREMELY WRONG TO SAY THAT "SERIAL KILLERS FASCINATE US". AND TO SAY THAT SO BLATANTLY AS THIS PERSON SAID HERE IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, UNSUITABLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL.
Over 160? Really?
Who the heck is deleting comments?
I love you ! Very good video!
All the INFAMOUS ones confess to their crimes. Remember that Rex!!
this guy.... ANYTHING to get the next 15mins.
Awe….pleas from a murderer how loving. He’d still be killing if he were free. Gag me.
He's right tho the NY prison system is awful new York and California has the most dangerous prisons
The Happy Face killer and the Daughter are in contact with the Huermann’s . His Daughter set up the go fund me for poor little Asa .
I still believe she was involved in some shape or form, even after the fact
Jesperson has at least come to accept his due. I was happy to hear he, not RH's family, tried to convince RH to confess to his crimes. One of my greatest grips about the family is their lack of effort in trying to get him to confess to his crimes.
There’s no place in this world for these type of killers. What the hell is society doing keeping them alive?
They are psychopaths
On come on, of course he'd say that on record.
They revel in the attention. Giving the Happy Face guy air play is not helping things at all..
This is insane, literally. 😮
Is he getting privileges for reaching out, why would he be reaching out
I like Banfield.
Laura Ingle is such a great news correspondent and journalist. I really appreciate how she asks questions and lets those she is interviewing talk. PersonaIly, I think it should be illegal for "any" channel to pay "any" family member of an accused murderer a penny until after a trial. And if they do and the accused murderer was married at the time of the murders (not the trial), then any proceeds paid to the spouse should go directly towards restitution to the families of the victims. This beotch and her family are going to profit off of the brutal deaths of these young women. It's repulsive, reprehensible vile, sickening and wrong.
Did he write to kihoberger
Why would he get better food? Because he could be placed in a prison that just serves better food?
In one of his letters to Happy Face Killer , RH complaint the food given in jail.
No. Having a job in prison would afford him commissary, and or his job could be in the kitchen, which could have "perks" of making/taking meals that don't look like vomit.
Ive read about this guy and giving him attention and asking his opinion was like cheese to a rat .His daughter is so different and gives love and understanding to society instead.
Shout out to the interviewer for coughing right into the phone/ mike
Did the Happy face killer only kill women? Has he ever killed men, Boys or young adult’s? 😮 Has he mentioned which states he killed people’? What State furthest north, south, east and west? How many , have you asked him those questioned if not 🤔 maybe ask him to answer and explain, get More specifics then ask What’s the youngest and oldest of his victim’s. why did he choose violence against the victim’s?
There are video's out on him already! Not sure though about interviews.
There are a ton of videos/documentaries/podcasts on Jesperson. If you really care about the questions you asked, check them out.
Wow
I went to school with Keith Jesperson in the 70’s.
We get it you hate em. Get to it.
No truer words were ever spoken than "Its hard to talk to a serial killer" & another question we should ask ourselves "Does LISK deserve butter for his bread?"
Why does he sound like he has marbles in his mouth?
Yuck
Suspicted? Learn to read lady you have one job. 😂😂😂
Boom what he said about Rex’s wife.
I am telling you there are more serial killing long haul truck drivers that you would ever thing or fear.
They aren't always family men. BTK is probably the only other one like that. Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer, Manson, Berkowitz; I can't think of another one like BTK and Heuermann.
This news anchor is class! I love her sarcasm 😂😂😂 only in the US
As an American I have to say she annoys us. She’s really over the top and cocky!
That might help him to a degree in NY. But, his name is floating in other states now.
2:12
comparing atrocious haircuts.?!
🤔🫣🤔
✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻
Nice call brah 😂 they must have a special barber they all go to. Hideous
I could see waiting for discovery. There's always a chance his atty can refute it successfully. Rex is in NY where there is no death penalty so there is really nothing for him to gain by confessing. He's gonna be in prison for life if he confesses and he's gonna be in prison for life if found guilty. So from that standpoint he and his atty are waiting for discovery. Now they found his killer planner on one of his electronic devices, he's toast imo.
I think RH is playing a media game to help his family some. They need material. They want a trial. The question is, is this to get them to withhold evidence? Wonders never cease.
Why are you giving this thing access to your platform? Do you actually believe if he were still on the loose he would give himself up? I guess you will do anything for views. He belongs under the prison.
The way you get butter and bread is certain people tied up to your bs is money put on your commissary
😮
Almost everything about this was awesome, the journalism, the rare story, the interview & all around so entertaining! Everything except the host... That woman needs to do better. It feels like she's trying to be Nancy Grace & it's way too noticeable, IMO. I normally like that dramatic narrative, but she's too scripted & not charismatic or funny like other hosts. Other than that, this was really good journalism & a very unique story. 👏
This reporter is so annoying.
Guidelines of guilt lol to the world its his crimes Rex is thinking about that one piece.. publicly its hair i have a feeling Rex left a bit more behind than explained.
Gilbert is under his nails
Is this lady drunk?
She’s crazy, she also might be a coke addict
