Bullshit, she was an escort from Port jefferson in her 20's and is not familiar with Massapequa I call double bullshit ? And Gilgo Beach is not as close to Massapequa as she makes it appear to be. Her story make no sense at all and why did she never call the tip line that was posted all over Long Island? She said she cant remember how to get home where she lives for 5 years without a gps but you remember a date a decade ago and specific information about that date along with the conversation and not to mention she was using.Oh and you dont want to bring up your past but you go on CNN and do multiple interviews bragging about it?

The part of the interview where Nikkie says, "I had a chance to fix my life and make changes and they never did" hits me hard. I lost two female friends to domestic violence by the violent men in their lives. One was 42 and the other 27. Both had SO MUCH GOOD AND LOVE ahead of them in their lives, and another human being robbed them and the rest of us who knew them and adored them of all those opportunities.

It should be legalized. By keeping it illegal we make the work unsafe for women. Most escorts do it because of either a drug addiction or they just like the easy money. If you don't have a degree or skills you're stuck at minimum wage jobs. You can barely afford a room in some dump on minimum wage. And some girls are just not motivated enough to work while going to school to improve their wages. And if you have children then you're really stuck. So some it's about laziness and some it's out of economic necessity. But the entire sex trafficked coerced woman idea is very rare and mostly a myth.

When I would go out to bars with friends in my 20's, we had a "signal." If one of us saw the other across the room touching her watch, for instance, it was a signal to come over and provide "back up." One guy came over and said my name while I was talking to another guy and I knew my friends had told him to come over and rescue me. And I was grateful to him.
She is especially sensitive & observant, very good she honored her intuition! She was feeling the ultra creepy vibes as he talked on & on about the murders, to the point where she called a friend to please meet her in the parking lot of the restaurant, so she'd be safe getting into her car. Thank goodness she did Not go with the Ogre after dinner!

If she had this encounter, I am glad she escaped. Yet, it seems that a really "sensitive" person would have reported the encounter to the law enforcement to put him on the radar to lessen the danger to other people. Given her past, she may have feared being judged or doubted by police--the reason many people with much less of a past don't report actual crime.

This lady is smart and kind. So glad she's still living. The one thing that made me laugh is her bad sense of direction, since I share that. A source of embarrassment and cause for ridicule throughout my childhood especially. My take is it's a creative, sensitive individual who turns inwards at a young age because of the tough world in which they live. I literally couldn't get to a place a mile away I'd been to hundreds of times when I started driving. I've gotten a little better as I've gained self esteem and strength.
@ALinn-vr3nl

It's an important skill to have a good sense of direction, one that can be taught and learned. Many girls are not taught this, but should be at a very young age, by age 3 or so. I'm glad it's improving for you. You can ask someone with a good sense of direction to teach it to you. A sailor would be ideal. Or a hiker. Here is an exercise to try, to always know where north, south, east, and west are. If you want to try it, print this out, walk out in the sun with it, read through it, and try this exercise. Start by standing in daylight outside of your home. Look up at the sun position, and note what time it is. Point your arm and index finger to the sun. Now point your arm in the direction where the sun sets. That's west: the Pacific coast. Then point to where it rises from. That's east: the Atlantic coast. Point to where the sun is at noon (overhead). With your arm and index finger, draw a straight line across the sky from where it rises (in the east) to where it sets (in the west). While doing so, say out loud, "That's sunrise in the east, over the Atlantic. I'm drawing a line of the sun's path to sunset in the west, over the Pacific coast." Since the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, it rises from the Atlantic coast, and sets over the Pacific coast. Turn so that the sunrise point (east, the Atlantic) is on your right, and the west (sunset point, the Pacific) is on your left. Picture a map of the U.S. On the map, the top edge of the map is to the north, the bottom edge is to the south. The Atlantic (east) is on the right and the Pacific (west) on the left. so stand in the sun with the sunrise point on your right, and the sunset point on your left. On the map, Canada is to the north. So as you're standing with the sunrise point on your right, and the sunset point on your left, you'll be facing north toward Canada. Point north to Canada. Now turn a quarter turn to your right, so you're facing to the east, where sunrise occurs. Canada, and north, will be on your left. Now do another quarter turn to your right, so that Canada and north are behind you. Now you're facing south. Do another quarter turn to your right, and you'll be facing the sunset point (the west coast and the Pacific) and Canada and north will be on your right. Now turn a another quarter turn to your right, and you'll be facing north and Canada again. From now on, whenever you leave home, physically point with your arm and locate the east (sunrise point), west (sunset point), and north (to Canada). Your job every day, for the rest of your life, is to point where north (Canada) is, and be aware of where north is at all times: every time you take a turn. Consciously tell yourself, pointing, "There is north and Canada." When you get in your car, or walk to the bus, or ride your bike, every time you take a turn, point your arm north through the turn. Your body will turn, while you keep pointing in the same direction, to the north. When you turn again, keep pointing north to Canada. Once you get the hang of it, try doing this at night, staying aware, every time you turn, which way north and Canada are. You will develop an internal sense of your "north star." It's trickier at night, which is why it's good to practice. Knowing, or being able to figure out, where north is, will build your confidence, independence, safety, and freedom. It's fun to always know where north and Canada are.

Such a wonderful person. I'm so glad for her success story, and Anderson really dealt with her respectfully. I've heard other people talk with her or about her and focus more on the sensational aspects of her story and biography.
What is she on ? Shame she didn’t report him when she suspected him being the murderer. Lives could have been saved.
Thank you, this was indeed enlightening. My old-fashioned ass didn't want to listen to her at first because of her appearance, but I'm so glad I did, & am so sorry for my hesitation based on presumption. She spoke so well & with such honesty straight from the heart! I agree with her & am grateful for the wisdom gained from hearing her! 👏🏼💖
Maybe he was saying those things to her as an “unspoken” warning - like so as to say, “If you still want to go out with me after I told you all of this, you deserve what you’re going to get.” Maybe he talked to others like that, and if they still went out with him: WHACK!
Good for her for speaking out for the girls who can’t. I believe that I had a run-in with a serial killer once, and although I didn’t know who he was until several days later, there was something about him that made him stand out from all the other tourists I saw on a daily basis. It’s so chilling to be in their presence.
Ten up, men and women alike who go on dates with strangers, and even with persons you think you know. Listen to how this woman prepared for her date, showing her sister or another the oersons picture, making sure she was in an area she knew, asking to be escorted to her car by someone she could trust, making sure she stayed in a known public place, being alert and tuned in at all times. What other steps she probably took but didn't mention? No drinking or drugging with a stranger. Not sitting next to him but across the table. Planning her exit ahead of time when she began to feel uncomfortable. She is alive mostly because of how careful and smart and self- respecting she is, and because she set things up as much as possible not to be truly alone. Listen up people. Don't be a victim.

None of the many people she told about her encounter over the years called the cops either. It's highly likely the police would have dismissed her account as being 'unreliable' because of her lifestyle at the time anyway. Besides, in 2010 Amber Lyn Costello's pimp gave a description of the suspect - 6'4" to 6'6" tall, heavy set and 'ogre like', and his vehicle make and model - a late model Chevvy Avelanche. In 2011 former FBI profiler Jim Clemente's profile of the killer was published in the NY Times describing them as living in, or having lived in the area of Long Island near Gilgo Beach and being very familiar with the area. Also that he would be married or have a girlfriend, be well educated and financially secure. It took the Suffolk County PD LISK taskforce 2 months to identify Rex Heuerman as a suspect with that information. The people who deserve to have their feet to the fire for not doing their damned job are the former Sheriff and detectives who had that information 12 years ago. Four years before this woman went on her date and, thank God had the smarts to stay safe.

Police up there tell the gal and guy sex workers to stop doing what they're doing...they don’t investigate the violent crimes committed against them... i know of two body drops, both women survived, i don't think any of you have a clue how common torturing, beating or abusing sex workers is.

@@cdes1776 well I watched pretty much every interview she’s done so far and in tbe first few she specifically stated she hasn’t gone to police yet. Her testimony, unless backed up with some actual evidence would be considered hearsay in a court of law. Verbal Conversations are not typically not considered evidence unless recorded. If there’s no witnesses to the conversation it’s considered hearsay. Even if it were allowed into evidence, there’s no relevance to the case. He didn’t admit to being the killer in their convo, so what value would this have to a prosecutor ?

Good point pretty woman mobster. I also noticed her story changes from interview to interview. I saw an interview from a few days ago and she said nothing about him telling her that he was an architect in Manhattan and his name was Rex. If she had that information, and was convinced he was the serial killer like she said, it's strange that she didn't go to the police back then. They could have nabbed him the next day with that information.
What an articulate,lovely person.

Way to go Nikki! Extremely intuitive, articualate, and happy you made it! Sad thing is that other people, so far women in this case, may have felt the same Intuition or unsafe, but because of their primal needs of shelter, or lack of pain, etc. might have looked past those concerns to fulfill their needs. You should feel incredibly proud of yourself for working hard to make changes, grow, and then the willingness to share this experiences. Much class to Anderson for not sensationalising the “escort” part of this story, but instead this interview is about those victims and others he has impacted, Rex, had families friends, have done kind things before, and aren’t just a hookup or escort. Great and classy video, and the type of interview that’s the best!! WAY TO BE A PIECE OF S*** REX!! The fact you asked her about it to what then a few hours later be like guess what, it’s me.... that alone makes the guy deserve torture.
This lady is outstanding!!! What a voice she gives to the things that need to be heard!!!
Good job with telling your story and great job at turning it around.
Glad you survived..🥰

This is a well spoken and thoughtful woman. I appreciate her words.
I'm glad she is okay. What bothered me a bit is that she did not reported him after his strange story about the gilgo beach murders. She tells everyone that she dated the killer and realized she was in danger but not enough to worry about other women? She should've tried to stop him by talking to the police.

This was so wonderful of her to come out and do. She knew people could be vile toward her and this is very responsible

Why did you not go to the police after that date ?
This girl is hilarious. Her conversation with the killer is riddled with telltale clues serial killer red alert red alert. So what do you think of the Gilgo killer? Oh I happen to live in that area too and I would get rid of bodies in the swamp. It's like the guy is trying to incriminate himself. She should have reported him.
Ok I can understand she was scared to report it to LE because s had a criminal history. But how about did she tried to report it as a tip where she didn't have to leave a name? No so why not? If she didn't know others can do that!!! There are lessons to be learned
You can't remember how to get home after living somewhere for 5 years, but have a clear memories of a date from years ago...strange
Her voice is amazing. I know it is very far from the most important thing going on here but yeah
How’s about telling the FBI or other authorities, wtf lady.
Hopefully her coming forward will help others who escaped Rex and perhaps they will come forward to help law enforcement by providing those details, which paint the picture of how this deprived evil operates. She was so spot on. She had the chance to change her life for the better. The victims that were murdered did not. She knows she’s fortunate. I wish her the best and I hope other victims or almost victims who escaped death come forward to help put the puzzle pieces of where he was and when in place.
