Some of his former colleagues have given interviews where they mention he has driven them home. We know he worked on buildings in the Bronx and out in Brooklyn (not sure about Queens) and its reasonable to assume he spent days working "out in the field" and didn't necessarily have to go into Manhattan and to the office. Those days it's likely that he drove.His office is close to Penn Station, where he would catch the train to Long Island.
He had work in Staten Island too. All five boroughs.Some of his former colleagues have given interviews where they mention he has driven them home.

The local paper in Chester County, SC -- the News & Reporter -- has obtained a copy of the search warrant for RH's brother's property. Apparently the warrant gave LE the right to seize "devices utilized to stamp letters onto leather goods," knives, cutting instruments, and "Bounty paper towels specifically from the Bounty Modern Print Collection" (I wonder what the significance of the paper towels is):
The warrant listed a dark green 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche as a "person, place or thing" to be searched. The truck is registered to Rex's brother Craig Heuermann of Rippling Brooke Drive, Chester and was subsequently removed from the property. The warrant states that the truck is believed to have "contraband, evidence or instrumentalities regarding the charge of...murder in the first degree (New York State), murder in the second degree (New York State), patronizing a person for prostitution in the third degree (New York State) and conspiracy to commit said offenses." The vehicle, once obtained, was to be transported to Suffolk County, NY and searched forensically. Authorities began surveillance of the Rippling Brooke Drive location at 10:50 p.m. on July 13 (shortly after Rex Heuermann was arrested in New York) and the warrant said authorities knew the vehicle was present at the location, with state and federal authorities aiding the Chester County Sheriff's Office in taking custody of it. The truck is listed as having been taken into custody.
Under "property sought" on the warrant, authorities put a lengthy list of items, many of which are listed as "trophies" which are personal items belonging to murder victims. That was to include their phones, articles of clothing, jewelry, identification, notebooks, ledgers, Bibles, personal effects and or photographs or recordings depicting the victims. Also sought were forensic and/or trace evidence, including DNA obtainable through fingernails, toenails, animal hair or fur, human hair and human skin fibers, bodily fluids as well as any latent fingerprints and palm prints. These things can be found on "furniture, mattresses, carpets, rugs, flooring, animal cages, crates, litters, playpens, beds, towers, steps (or) clothing." Electronic devices or computers in all their forms are listed on the warrant, along with any records, whether they be physical or electronic in nature. Other property sought is "any documents relating to the recent occupation/renting/tenancy/purchasing of known instrumentalities utilized in the designated offenses."
This could include mail, bills or other similarly situated documents. Broadly, the warrant also mentions "any of the known instrumentalities involved in the commission of the designated offenses including...burlap (the remains of at least one of Heuermann's alleged victims was discovered wrapped in burlap), camouflage burlap fabric, 'jute-like' fabric, hunting blinds, restraints, belts, textile yarns, polyester fibers, cotton fibers," or any variety of tape. Other "trophy" items are listed separately, including condoms, cut distal ends of black leather belts, devices utilized to stamp letters onto leather goods, knives, scissors, cutting implements and "Bounty paper towels specifically from the Bounty Modern Print Collection." Firearms, magazines, cases, ammunition, bullet fragments and shell casings were listed as we "locked rooms, storage areas, vaults, cabinets, safes, closets, containers (including strong boxes, desks, drawers, suitcases, briefcases, boxes, hidden compartments or other such enclosures where items can be kept, hidden or secreted."
The warrant was signed on Friday.
I don't know if I would call it a no mans land. All of his offices are within eye or earshot of where the Macy's Day parade is held. I worked on 5th a few blocks down from his office for years. The only area I would avoid was Broadway between 27th - 30th because I would get harassed by the men standing outside the wholesale shops. The area is never empty day or night and Koreatown has been one of the biggest nightlife spots in the entire city for upwards of 20+ years. Lots of Karaoke and trendy restaurants. Lots of limos with bachelor, bachelorette, and birthday parties. There are lots of places I could see being referred to as no mans land in Manhattan but the area around his offices not so much.
You're correct about the methadone clinic by Penn/Madison Square Garden. This is a personal anecdote but hopefully conveys the vibe in the area. In 2020 I passed a woman who looked rough outside of Penn. She was talking but was not verbally responsive to questions. Streams of people were passing her - including the NYPD standing about 20 feet away. I alerted them that something was wrong and they just repositioned themselves closer and stared at her. They assured me they had it handled. When I passed by again about an hour later she was just laying there, dead. With swarms of tourists walking into and out of Macy's and commuters heading in and out of Penn. She's now #UP70309 in Namus.
Mannhattan is a weird place - what is considered no mans land to one person is another persons nightlife or shopping spot. FiDi would be my no mans land but tech bros love it!
I meant more towards lower 30s“I don't know if I would call it a no mans land. All of his offices are within eye or earshot of where the Macy's Day parade is held”
Someone else in the house in Massapequa Park worked at that Macy’s.
As a firearms collector, he may also have modern Springfield Armory pistols, which are popular in the traditional 1911 design. He may have one or more in 9mm, which might account for "SpringfieldMan9."In my opinion it seems like it. The "springfieldman" screen name IMO is related to the Springfield 1903 rifle which many collectors love. It was the US armies standard issue rifle from 1903 to 1936. I always saw pictures of what looked like a Mosin Nagant rifle which was the main rifle of the Russian empire then later soviet union during ww1 and ww2. In another photo I saw its replacement rifle the SKS rifle which was quickly replaced by the AK47 in 1948. None of these rifles are produced new, they ceased production decades ago, and are known as Mil-Surp (military surplus) in the gun world. If you walked into a gun store and asked for a good hunting rifle they are not going to hand you any of these. you would have to recognize them on the wall or ask for them specifically. It could all be a coincidence since it looks like he horded 200 other guns. But My opinion is that he is into, or at least aware of military history.

Right now at #RexHeuermann's home, police are beginning to reposition their vehicles, I believe in an attempt to obstruct our view. It tells me they have found something big and have been waiting to bring it out. I asked a detective, he told me, "no comment."
