Escort who dated Gilgo Beach suspected killer Rex Heuermann gives eerie details ... trends now
A former Long Island escort who used to go out with accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann said he 'got off' when talking about his victims.
In an interview with the New York Daily News, Nicole Brass, 34, said about a decade ago, when she would 'date' Heuermann, he would make small talk about the then-relatively recent and unsolved murders.
'He asked me if I’m a true crime fan ... We talked briefly about other serial killers, then he said, "Have you heard of the Gilgo Beach murders? That’s when he got real weird."'
Heuermann then attempted to lure the escort, who was at the time in the throws of an opioid addiction, back to a private liaison.
Heuermann was arrested last week and charged with the murders of three of the 11 eleven victims who were found along a desolate stretch of land near Gilgo Beach on Long Island.
Suffolk County prosecutors say they expect to charge him in connection with at least one of the other murders. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

She said she met Heuermann through a website like BackPage - a site for escorts. He wanted to meet her in a hotel room near Massapequa Park.
'At the time, I was in my early 20s and I was an addict and I wasn’t really thinking about safety. I was thinking about getting money. So I would go on dates with wealthy guys and have them pay me for my time.'
Brass said that a meeting just the two of them sat wrong with her, so she asked to go to dinner instead.
'He said he would get a room. I didn’t feel comfortable not meeting in public or an area I didn’t know, so I convinced him to meet me in Port Jeff,' she said.
They met at Steamroom, a seafood restaurant in Port Jefferson, where they made small talk at the table.
'In the beginning, he seemed totally normal. He talked about his job and just seemed really normal - until he brought up the Gilgo Beach murders,' she said.
'He brought [the Gilgo Beach murders] up on his own.'
She recounted the accused killer becoming more animated talking about the mysterious murders, bringing up several details that Brass, who had been following the cases, had not heard about.
'I was following the case, and he mentioned one of the girls I hadn’t heard about yet. It seemed like he was talking about it
