A Long Island man recently claimed victory in purchasing a 1972 Jeep that once belonged to Rex Heuermann, known for his connection to a notorious murder case. He said his motivation was to provoke Heuermann’s family in a rather unique way.
This family is considering selling a vehicle linked to Heuermann, who faces charges in multiple murders tied to the Gilgo Beach case.
In a post on Blueski, he articulated his intention with some disdain: “You’re not going to profit from your husband’s murder, you hate depression,” alongside confirmation of his successful bid and a message he received from the seller.
Randall, addressing the mixed feelings around the purchase, questioned, “Who’s not paying?”
The Jeep, a 1972 M151 A2 military truck accompanied by a 1963 trailer, was listed on eBay in early July.
It seems that a relative of Heuermann, acting on behalf of his ex-wife Asa, had posted the listing. Remarkably, this isn’t the first time this vehicle has appeared for sale.
Interestingly, the listing offered no clarity on how the proceeds from the sale would be used.
Randall recounted that the first auction attempt failed but was more transparent about the truck’s origin.
He mentioned having made several bids before finally winning the auction. After winning, he received a congratulatory message and, shortly after, an inquiry about pickup and payment. His response? A casual “Lol.”
It seems he felt compelled to intervene when he noticed eBay had not removed the listing after its second appearance. He reached out to the site representatives, who stood by the auction.
In a response shared with the Post, a representative told Randall, “It’s not a ‘murder vehicle’ until Rex is convicted.”
Randall pointed out that his account still shows Heuermann’s vehicles among his purchases.
He expressed his frustration, saying, “I was tired of my heart to see someone blatantly seeking to benefit from one of the most condemned crimes in recent history.”
The current status of the Jeep remains uncertain. Heuermann’s wife’s lawyer confirmed the sale didn’t go through.
An eBay spokesperson explained that the platform has policies against listings that glorify violent acts, noting that this listing had previously been taken down.
According to eBay’s rules, buyers who don’t follow through with a purchase may face account restrictions.
