He reflects on the spiritual moments that guided the investigation, calling them nothing short of divine intervention. Aeman opens up about the pain and trauma of his upbringing, the influences that shaped his descent into violence, and the regret he carries every day. Together, they discuss the human side of tragedy, how community, media, and personal choices intertwine to create paths that sometimes end in darkness, and how, even then, healing and understanding are still possible. </p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">(0:00) Welcome back to Zone 7 with Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum </li> <li aria-level="1">(0:15) Sheryl introduces Detective David Quinn to the conversation</li> <li aria-level="1">(2:00) Aeman’s reflections</li> <li aria-level="1">(4:30) The impact of growing up in a violent environment</li> <li aria-level="1">(7:30) Six hours of interrogation and confession </li> <li aria-level="1">(8:45) “For two hours we were talking nothing but life.” -Det.

<p>Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum discuss the latest on Rex Heuermann and Lori Vallow’s Cases. Sheryl gives a live check-in from the Hamptons, where she describes the quiet tension in a neighborhood trying to move on. She talks about Rex Heuermann’s house, now partially hidden as the family packs up and prepares to leave. Nancy and Sheryl question what this means, if it’s the first step toward tearing the house down, and why that could be a big problem for the trial. They stress how important it is for jurors to see the space where the crimes happened to fully understand the case. Nancy shifts to the latest on Lori Vallow. Representing herself, Lori is facing charges for the murders of her children and her former husband. Nancy and Sheryl walk through the case and how Lori’s strange behavior and beliefs played a role in the crimes.</p> <p><strong>Previous Episodes on These Cases:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lisk-long-island-serial-killer-panel-a-zone-7-discussion/id1660041219?i=1000622267560">LISK (Long Island Serial Killer) Panel: A Zone 7 Discussion</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lisk-long-island-serial-killer-full-panel-2/id1660041219?i=1000624641092">LISK (Long Island Serial Killer) Full Panel 2</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/to-execute-or-not-the-financial-moral-and/id1660041219?i=1000654920253">To Execute or Not | The Financial, Moral, and Emotional Weight of the Death Penalty with Kirk Nurmi</a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">(0:00) Welcome!
