kaitlan. good evening everyone, i m laura coates. thank you all for joining me. the tv show dexter, remember that one? there is a serial killer who quietly led a double life. holding down a normal job on one hand, having a family in the suburbs, lending perfectly into society. in real life that plot is now eerily similar to an accused killer and a series of horrible murders. this is rex human, and architect in new york. a husband, father of two, he is also behind bars tonight charged with the killings of three of the four women who are known as the gill go for and investigators fear that there could be more victims. the unsolved murders have literally terrorized taught long island for more than ten years now. in fact, ten other sets of human remains have also been found. the cold case now it recently became warm after a task force
new york state police, the new york south county sheriff s office, the fbi, our very own investigators from south county police department as well as members from the district attorney s office. i m curious about the cell phone data here. it was said the recent burner phones and he was alleged to have had, but they re also there are allegations that are made by prosecutors that he may have made taunting phone calls to the victims families. what can you tell me about that? yeah, there were calls that were part of the investigation where it s very possible that rex had placed phone calls to some of the victims and to some of the victims family members. for that reason and because he was still looking to still contact and still looking to reach out is why he was apprehended when he was. what does it mean the word taunting? what kind of communication was
going to take and analyze it. now for you to get to the point where you re looking at a pizza crust, obviously this is a person who has been a suspect for likely longer than it has been told in the public eye. what was the process of getting this case warm again to the point where you chose to look at the dna samples or try to get some indication from this suspect in connection with these murders? how did we get there? yeah, it s a great question. i think when we go all the way back to how we conduct an investigation, we take a look and when we have a potential lead we exhaust that lead and we continue to examine until the point comes when maybe that person maybe can be eliminated. in the case with rex, every investigative step that we took fail to eliminate him, and it caused the task force to continually narrow their focus and while he became a person of
a demon that walks amongst us. that is how police in suffolk county described the accused circular they ve. captured rex huber men s charge of the murders of three women. and the death of the fourth. that is one of the victims found, in long island. he is an architect in new york city, and we sat down for an exclusive on camera interview with about his business last year. rex human? i m an architectural consultants. i m a troubleshooter. born and raised in long island. then working and manhattan since 1987. and bases, kathy, park transform outside his home, kathy? this is certainly a stunning development on a case that went dark for years. we are standing in his neighborhood and we spoke with several neighbors who say that his home is directly behind me.
