Etienne Devilliers, who lived next to Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann for thirty years, spoke with Fox News about an uncomfortable interaction that left his wife feeling “creeped out.”
“My wife would sunbathe in the backyard occasionally … but he would stand over the fence because he was a tall guy. … He would constantly say he was six-four, 250 pounds, and he would try to start conversations with her,” Devilliers said on “Fox & Friends.”
“My wife finally told me a few times that she was getting creeped out a bit by him. I had a conversation with him. It wasn’t pleasant. It wasn’t a pleasant conversation. We spoke pretty harshly, but he didn’t get aggressive or anything. After that, he never did it again,” he recalled.
“He was strange and odd,” Devilliers said. “People would stay away from his house. I mean, they would literally cross the street because the house was such a mess.”
“The wife was a bit on the odd side, too. She kept to herself most of the time and whenever I spoke to her, it was just two or three-word things. With Rex, on the other hand, I had conversations with him, regularly.”
“The kids, I really always felt sorry for the kids. The son is a special needs kid who just got his first dog a couple of weeks ago. It just brightened him up. He’s a sweet kid. And they always used him to do the garden work and plow the snow. And they kept the kid busy doing the manual labor around the house,” he explained.
“The daughter is also a nice young girl that kept to herself. Very quiet, very shy, and rarely I spoke to her. Just hello and goodbye. The son I did have conversations with. He was a nice kid. I feel terrible for them.”
Heuermann’s house is currently being searched by authorities for evidence of his horrific crimes.
