Liz Barraza ////// 815

Part 1 of 1

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

This week we feature an unsolved case that left Houstonians baffled and in fear, and a police force hunting a killer.  A young woman, Liz Barraza was shot and killed in her driveway just before 7AM on a Friday.  The murder was captured on home security cameras.  The vehicle that the murderer was driving to and from the scene was captured on several cameras.  In fact, police found footage of the vehicle in the neighborhood from several hours prior to the murder.  Why was the killer patrolling this quiet and safe neighborhood?  Were they perhaps familiarizing themselves with the street, the victim's house, and planning when to strike?  Liz Barraza was well liked and loved by so many.  Who wanted her dead and so badly that they committed the murder where they could be seen by many?  Her family is still holding out hope that they can get justice for Liz. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-713-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online or through the Crime Stoppers app.

Blue Print for Murder /// Part 2 /// 811

Part 2 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

 The Gilgo Beach Killer, The Long Island Serial Killer, L.I.S.K., and the list of names, and monikers goes on and on.  These are all names given to an unidentified serial killer that is responsible for four murders, maybe eleven unsolved homicides, and likely the number could be higher.  These names refer to a series of murders that took place from 1996 to 2011 in which the remains of eleven people were found on the South Shore of Long Island, New York.  From the public’s perspective, this all started when Shannon Gilbert went missing in the early morning hours of May 1, 2010.  Her disappearance triggered the finding of four sets of remains off of Ocean Parkway at Gilgo Beach. These victims became known as the Gilgo Four. By May of 2011 police had discovered six more sets of remains in the area. But the truth is that this nightmare started long before Shannon disappeared.  

In 2023, an architect then 59-year old, Rex Heuermann was arrested and initially charged with three of the murders. Just this month he was charged with a seventh homicide. This week in the Garage, we talk about what the police found in Rex Heuermann’s home, specifically a planning document.  This is a kill document, one that many are calling Rex Heuermann’s Blue Print for Murder.
