Former Escort Says She Had ‘Creepy’ Date With Gilgo Beach Murders Suspect
by

A former “escort” says she had a dinner “date” with Long Island serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann one night nearly a decade ago, and he “really weirded me out.”

Nikkie Brass, now a 34-year-old hair stylist and mom in New England, said in a TikTok post she was in her mid 20s when she met the 59-year-old architect. Brass said she had been following the Gilgo Beach murders case and that Heuermann clearly did too.

Brass said she was “young and dumb” when she accepted the “date” with Heuermann, and they met at a restaurant in Port Jefferson, about a 50 minute drive from Heuermann’s Massapequa Park home, she said. The conversation began normally.

“And then, he brought up, ‘Are you into true crime?'” she said. “He was like, ‘Are you a true crime fan?’ And I was like, ‘Actually, I am. I could probably tell you more about serial killers than their own mother can. It’s bad.'”

He specifically mentioned the Gilgo Beach murders and, she said, provided information that hadn’t been released publicly yet.

“He seemed like, excited. Like it piqued his interest. He sat up straighter.”

“And honestly that’s what made me lose the date,” she said about her decision to leave.

Except, she didn’t, not right away. They finished dinner, and Heuermann asked if she wanted to come back to his place. Brass said she’d have to follow him in her car, but he insisted she leave her car at the restaurant.

Heuermann got “agitated and angry,” she said, as she insisted that she would not leave her car and go off with a stranger.

Brass recalled to ABC’s Good Morning America that Heuermann spoke about the killings in hypotheticals, “but he had this smile on his face that made me really uneasy.”

“He like this glossed over look in his eye,” she said.

Heuermann has been charged with three of the four “Gilgo 4” murders, four women who were found buried on the Long Island beach in burlap sacks, as CrimeOnline previously reported. He was named the prime suspect in the death of the fourth.
