Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 6 murders, July 2023 #14

[indicolite22]

I have no reason believe she is in a dire financial situation. At the very least she has brought in $1,075,000 in the last year.

I guess it's possible she doesn't enjoy attention, but she is clearly choosing it. Or at least she has in the past. Her lawyers antics on her behalf have calmed down for the most part. He theoretically works for her, and in theory, she can tell him to stop doing TV.

Spota, a disgraced power broker in Suffolk County who's incarcerated, pulled strings for Macedonio to get his license to practice law after cocaine and bribery charges. Spota was part of the cabal that tried to prevent solving LISK. Now, someone who owes Spota a favor materialized to theoretically represent Asa, but instead he is just publicly defending Rex. "Asa doesn't see it." Give me a break. That is for Rex's benefit. And Asa could stop it.

MOO

I don't see it as Rex's defense. The wife obviously (to me) wasn't treated the same as his victims. She has not seen him at his worst.

I don't see it as Rex's defense. The wife obviously (to me) wasn't treated the same as his victims. She has not seen him at his worst.

That is the most pleasant theory. Asa is a witness, no doubt. But a combination of Rex's deception and her denial could make her unaware of the crimes until his first bail document.

But at this point, she would need a great deal of denial to not think it is at least possible that some terrible things happened. She knows everything you and I know about the investigation , and might know even more about the evidence. Framing? She's being represented by a person who owes a favor to the group who would frame a person to get rid of the case. And she has to by now have rethought some things...why did he use so many bottles of drain cleaner while I was away? Etc. She has to have seen something.

Why was she immediately told by HER lawyer not to talk about the case with Rex? That doesn't protect her interests; it protects his. (She might not want to make his situation worse- but then she should say though her attorney something like, "Asa has so many questions: she doesn't know the man in the charging documents. But she can't get answers from Rex because his attorney advises him not to talk about the case." All of her statements have been delivered in a strange, Rex-defending way.)

MOO

 

[CuriousCricket]

But guess what? The people who swept in to represent Asa and her family are the very people who would do a frame job like that. So, if he were framed, and I am not saying so, it would be by Asa's attorney's friends.

I am so thankful for Rodney Harrison's incredible work in bringing together the task force. It wasn't easy to persuade the FBI to come back to Suffolk! But he did it. And now, like any great leader, he created a task force that continues to work even in his absence.

MOO

It is my feeling that RH and perhaps some like-minded buddies have been protected - not framed.

Like you, I am so thankful for Rodney Harrison's incredible work in bringing together the task force

I'm sure her attorney is representing her and not Rex. For sure the attorney is craving publicity (and has a strategy), they all are, especially John Ray. AE might not be familiar with her attorney's background or perhaps she can't afford to be too particular about it.

RH was arrested on Thursday evening July 13th and by Friday he had a court assigned lawyer Michael Brown.
Over that weekend Asa had a lawyer too.
Bob Macedonio, who had a law firm/partner who was Michael Brown.

I thought ct appointed too, but read hired. Meaning paid. Unrelated, but my mind went to: properties, Manhattan office, 1000s$ in guns, etc and why ct appointed Brown, but appears as if he is paid. Moo, but if you go w da, you either are a slam dunk winner or guilty as sin and a goner...

Are there any victims suspected to be linked to RH who were not sex workers?

Sandra Costilla has never been noted to be a sex worker. I've seen articles saying she had a "drifter" type of lifestyle.

Who Are Sandra Costilla And Jessica Taylor? Gilgo Beach victims revealed

Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, has been charged with more murders.

www.newsweek.com

As bright light streams into RH's twisted past, though, I'd be almost certain they're going to uncover (probably many) more murders of non-SWs. And definitely his earliest kills-- jmo, there will be more non-SWs if LE can penetrate deep enough, and it'll help if RH starts cooperating (like Cottingham), which may come later. Would be convinced there's more to come from RH's "records" as well, so am waiting and watching.

Meant to include this list with a comment some time, but now that it has already slipped in, leaving it, fwiw.

That's very interesting. There are 8.53 miles from New Bedford to Westport in southwest direction and 13 miles (20.92 kilometers) by car, following the US-6 route.

One would wonder if RH is tied into the murders in New Bedford, the New Bedford Highway Killer.
Source: "The women, in their 20s and 30s, had ties to drugs and prostitution in the New Bedford area and began vanishing from the streets in March 1988. The first of the nine bodies recovered was discovered along Route 140 in New Bedford in July 1988."

That's really interesting, honestly. People early on (including myself) have wondered about RH and a connection to New Bedford. And as another strange note, the name of one of the victims is Marilyn Roberts (RH alias "Andy Roberts")

Not to my knowledge. In fact, I would be VERY surprised if it turned out he killed anyone outside of that profession. Way too risky, imo. But never say never, I guess.

IMO:
Who needs proof of murder ?
Does she think the evidence used against her husband in his bail applications/indictment/superseding indictments that list the most evil, heinous,desires and actions were just made up by the prosecution including the DNA evidence that connects her husband, daughter and herself?
If that in itself didn't make her cut all ties with husband then nothing will and expect her to continue defending him for years as the investigations continues and if he ever goes to trial and is convicted then come the appeals on each murder conviction.

Asa claims all she knows is what the media is reporting.
IMO:
That in itself tells you that if she admits to having read all the evidence the prosecution has put forward against her husband then she couldn't try and play stupid, a ruse she failed miserably at.

Wouldn't most of us try to support a family member? And perhaps we might feel sure the accusation were wrong from what we KNOW. However, the evidence presented in the bail documents (available for AE) seems so conclusive -- he was leaving the office at 8:30 the night he was arrested; neighbors say he burned things late at night -- my memory would bring all those uneasy times back. Even if I had not known at the time, I feel fairly certain my memories and the evidence presented in the documents would take my mind to the truth. Perhaps she will remain outwardly supportive regardless. Some spouses do.

I couldn't agree more. It does not make sense to reserve judgment on the basics. Murder and dismemberment are bad; you don't need to see the evidence.

I understand supporting a family member accused of horrific crimes. You might think them not guilty; you might be in denial. You might understand their special circumstances and have more forgiveness than the general public. You might think they are just as guilty as the prosecutors are saying, but still want the best possible legal outcome for a loved one.

But it is manipulation to claim you have to wait for court to form an opinion if you are a family member. There is plenty of information for all of us to discuss. 14 threads and still going strong. Sharing that opinion? Optional. A family member can say they are remaining private. But they are certainly forming an opinion.

I understand that it is the opinion of the jurors that matters for conviction or acquittal. But a family member is not a juror. They don't have a responsibility to stay neutral in making their decision. It's the opposite; they are expected to have an opinion that the jury is to be protected from. Efforts are made to illicit only facts and not opinions from witnesses who might have a bias.

The wife obviously does not want privacy. She's sending her criminal lawyer everywhere to speak for her. She also signed a large contract to sell her connection to the alleged atrocities.

She's getting her side out in public. She's not waiting for more information.

MOO

I'm just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, like we do all families of criminals. We don't know for a fact that she has read everything or exposed herself to the details in the media. Or that she's not in denial. If she has visited RH, I can see him continuing to manipulate her like he surely has in the past. I'll reserve judgment until after the trial.

Sometimes it takes me years to reconcile certain behaviours in situations. Sometimes I have a revelation and say omg wth was I thinking? That time may yet be coming for her.

I have no reason believe she is in a dire financial situation. At the very least she has brought in $1,075,000 in the last year.

do you know that she has already been paid? I would think that payment would come after the documentary is made IMO

The list of victims suggests a Hispanic perp.

Sexually motivated serial killers generally kill what they are attracted to/what matters to them. Most of the victims are Hispanic.

Had read were looking for specific evidence. Paper bags, buckets left the scene so they have evidence. Any, all sc, murderers convicted is a win, closure for all. If responsible for gilgo, Rex had taste for petite mostly. Hoisting, controlling easier. He did have Costilla, possibly Vergata which wld fit this bill...

I read the community has a lot of Portuguese-Americans. Many several generations in.

Would definitely agree the perp may be Hispanic, and might even go as far as could likely be Hispanic, but I don't really think the perp "has to be" Hispanic.

Many of the victims do not appear to be Hispanic. If it's an SK, he's not going to be asking if they're Hispanic. To my knowledge, at least some of the victims are not in reality Hispanic, either. But understood that this is something to consider, and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is RH. But it might be, and that's something to consider, too.

Add to that Rex was single, 25 yo. He did not marry til 90, these took place 88, 89. Married Asa 96. Just important details

I would expect her attorney negotiated at least an advance, perhaps a "signing bonus". I doubt she got the majority of the money, but she's probably gotten some and will, perhaps, continue to get paid for her "appearances".
