In her NewsNation interview, Nicole Brass told Chris Cuomo that Heuermann asked her to meet him at his home, but according to Brass, she suggested a public place, instead. He also asked her to ride in his car, but she declined. The four women Heuermann is accused and suspected of killing were reportedly contacted via burner cell phones traced to the Massapequa Park area where Heuermann lived, according to NBC News. Heuermann continued to contract sex workers until shortly before he was arrested, per The Independent.

On their date, Heuermann mentioned the bodies found on Gilgo Beach, attributed to the LISK, were concealed in burlap, a detail that may not have been common knowledge at the time, according to Brass —although a 2011 Atlantic article about LISK referenced the material. Still, “I just always told people like I think I had dinner with the Gilgo Beach murderer,” Brass told Cuomo. “I am almost positive.” In 2015, Brass was uneasy and ended the date. ” … everything about it was very, very strange,” she said. And although it’s unconfirmed it was Heuermann, Brass said his face and body are unmistakable. “He’s a really big guy and his face is very recognizable,” she said.
