Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 3 murders, July 2023 #7

[DetectiveDraper]

Wikipedia, then go from there? There was a documentary made about her some years ago, Crazy Not Insane. She's basically been a witness for hire for over forty years. She doesn't believe in the death penalty or in sociopathy. She is the person you get on the stand if you are a defense attorney and you have a brutal offender or serial killer who you want to portray as a sad abused child who wasn't responsible for their actions. It very rarely works, and in certain cases, especially in Gannon's trial, her performance on the stand probably just made the trial outcome more certain rather than providing a mitigating factor in the eyes of the jury. She is in her late eighties now, and I would hope that her appearance in Gannon's trial would be her last. I would hope that by the time RH comes to trial, there is absolutely no possibility for her to speak for him even if they want her to.

In terms of her validity, her views have always been fringe, she hasn't published anything peer reviewed since the eighties, and even then, the methods she used to support her assertions were questioned. In Gannon's trial, the contrast between the state psych witnesses and Lewis was stark. The state witnesses laid out the testing that was done, the specific ways they handle a patient who has reason to be deceptive with them and how they safeguard against that. Lewis, it was completely the opposite. They had video excerpts of her interviews with the defendant, LS, that they played for the jury... the video spoke for itself.

MOO

Apologies, just wanted to hear your perspective. Thanks.

Wonder if that spot needs to be pointed out to LE? He may just have enjoyed watching you scramble or he may have just been stating fact.

I’ve come to believe that statements like that, when not made in private with a close friend or family member, are intentionally sadistic and indicative of someone with either no adequate social boundaries or meant to scare others. Especially if an unknown male says it to a woman.

It's a hard thing for those of use who love solitude and wild places but also walk through the world with the perceived vulnerability of being or appearing female. I used to walk for my health, daily, in the remote village I lived in for years. Only a couple of dozen people lived there, and the walks I took wound through bushland that was dizzying with the white trunks of eucalypts, and deceptively deadly with the hidden mouths of hundred year old mineshafts. I regularly walked up to 8km without seeing another soul. I rarely felt unsafe there, even though if I'd gone missing, I would have been easily 'disappeared'. It was once I moved back to the 'big smoke' that I stopped walking like that. I felt more frightened walking the loop of the roads in my suburb surrounded by hundreds of people and constant car traffic, and the unforgiving cement paths were more damaging to my body than the slick clay mud and rolling sharp rocks and boulders ever were. I was probably just fortunate that nobody in village bore me ill will, or watched me with murder in their heart. I certainly would have been alone and without help if anyone stumbled across me out there, whereas, for all that the tale of Kitty Genovese and others like her tell us of how alone we are surrounded by other humans, at least in a city the potential for rescue exists.

The difference, as always, is that for that man you met, it was probably just an observation that amused but did not alarm him, whereas for many of the rest of us, the possibility of being murdered by a stranger and left in the woods is something we are conditioned to and braced for the potential of from a very early age. And we know that the person who can do such a thing doesn't have to look like a cartoon villain - most of the time they look and act like a normal person. RH looks exactly like I expected him to, if I'm honest. A middle aged architect with grooming and dress stuck in the seventies to early eighties. Unremarkable. Tall, yes, but I have men in my extended family almost as tall, if not quite as large with it.

MOO

BBM. BAM!
You just boiled my lifetime fear down to 2 sentences!
This is the case that drove fear into me as a child growing up in the same town:

PA - Gretchen Harrington, 8, found murdered, Marple Twp, 15 Aug 1975 *arrest in 2023*

Hey everybody! I've got another cold case. This one is in Pennsylvania... and unfortunately, there has not been much news about it. Basically, 8-year-old Gretchen Harrington, disappeared while walking to Bible School in Marple Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Her body was found off a...

Mother's quest to find daughter led to the eventual arrest of suspect in Gilgo Beach serial killings

Mari Gilbert, in the final years of her life, pressured police to take her daughter's disappearance seriously. She fought tirelessly to ensure that Shannan and the other victims would not be forgotten.

I have speculated, theorized, & flat said there will be more victims connected to LISK. Additional victims will identified. I believe this is the work of Othram. Looking at this map I believe that Peaches, her baby, & the Asian male will be identified soon.

My theory about why LISK serial killer placed his victims facing North: as an Architect, Rex Heuermann would use True North and Project North. The victims were all placed in a row like a City Scape! These were his trophies like his buildings!

Most feet found in waterways aren't due to dismemberments. When a body decomposes, the ankle comes apart fairly early, and most modern shoes are composed of foam rubber and plastic, so they float.

The unsettling discoveries along the Salish Sea prompted talk of serial killers, aliens, and psychics. The truth is even more unexpected.

Agree, and if you remember, the witness saw the driver being "a white guy in eyeglasses". Early (high school) photos of RH reveal that he was not an "ogre" at that time. Tall and probably, broad-shouldered, but not standing out in eyeglasses, as his most prominent facial trait, small eyes and wide nasal bridge, would be obscured by the frame.

I found it interesting that the article said her hyoid bone was missing.

 

[Bree1950]

I wondered about that, also. But I do remember reading somewhere in MSM that AE's sister stated that this was overwhelming for their 90-something aged father, so the sister may have been staying with him trying to help him deal with the situation. And maybe AE and her two adult children moving into the father's home nearby was just too much, so they went back and forth. Just speculating.

Sad, either way, and they likely didn't have the money for both a rental car and a hotel, so chose the former so they could be mobile. Again, just speculating.

Where I live Victim’s Assistance would have assisted housing.

Does the H family still own the Palmyra property? I noticed an "offer pending" on a real estate site which could be old info and/or the H family sold it long ago.

I'm not the one who originally posted it, @Sundog gets credit for that as I was merely responding, but anyway, it's right here.

In the weeks since the Gilgo Beach murder suspect was arrested, his alleged double life has cast new light on an otherwise mundane professional life in the city and its suburbs…

“We recently closed on a lovely, charming apartment in a pre-war co-op building in New York City,” author Bess Kalb wrote in her Substack newsletter. “Yesterday afternoon the building’s architect was arrested and charged with three counts of first degree murder and three counts of second degree murder.”

Antoine Amira, who recorded himself speaking with Heuermann last year. When I reached out to Amira to learn more, he told me he’d love to do an interview—so long as I paid him $5,000 to license his footage.

Heuermann’s former colleagues have continued to try to unravel what, if anything, their interactions with him could have said about the crimes of which he’s accused. Miyasoto said he had never suspected anything.

“But out of all the people I’ve worked with in my lifetime,” he added, “for him to be the one that’s in this situation, I wasn’t surprised. I am a little bit shocked, but I wasn’t surprised. Does that make sense?”

As opposed to all the rest of the scandal to do with SCPD? They weren't taking questions anyway, they just could have left that sentence out.

Because, so often when we're talking vulnerable victims, never reported missing so often seems code for not our fault, we couldn't have done anything, it's on the people in their life to let us know. They have all the power, and it doesn't matter how much the family protests that they did try to report it after that point, because they can't call a national reach press conference, and even if they could, they can't unring the bell of everyone hearing and writing articles about how they never bothered to report it.

MOO

Thank goodness for Mari Gilbert who was literally getting the run around from the police. She was persistent in her search to find Shannon and without her none of the bodies on Gilgo would have been found. IMHO

I worked as a Network Engineer since the 80's and while it's not a high risk job that would get me killed, it also doesn't become the whole sum of who I am. SW should be treated exactly the same and should never have to fear for their lives nor not be believed by family trying to report them missing. These are not jack the ripper times in the 21st century, a time when women in general were devalued.

This is probably some trivial thing I don't understand, but how could RH be the architect of a pre-war building? (I assume that refers to ... WWII?)

Or maybe it just means he was the architect for some remodeling or something?

He was the building's official architect and had to approve their architect's plans.

Not sure whether Sheryl is referring to the Gilgo or the AC murders. I have not heard that the Gilgo vics were placed in a specific direction, but the Atlantic City victims were placed facing east, not north.

Not sure whether Sheryl is referring to the Gilgo or the AC murders. I have not heard that the Gilgo vics were placed in a specific direction, but the Atlantic City victims were placed facing east, not north.

Yeah, I was confused by that, too. There has not been anything said, as far as I know, about the Gilgo victims facing a specific direction, just that they were close together and bound and, in the case of three of them, wrapped in burlap.

The AC victims, they talked about how they were posed at length in the Killing Season, and you're right, it was east. I think you're correct, I think she's conflating the cases. If not, she's either making something up out of whole cloth or has someone close to the case leaking her stuff we're not privy to yet. I hope that it's just an honest mistake.

I live in Idaho. They're pretty good about that here. Could be a different set of policies in New York.

I think it's as simple as RH was read his rights and then proceeded to ask for a lawyer. It appears that it was quick decision to get him off the streets which could be why they didn't have that warrant in their hands.

I also think that they had to schedule a date in court to request the warrant and I imagine that delayed it further because NYS courts have backlogs of cases. JMO

The Idaho case I didn't really follow, but I certainly heard a lot of complaining about the authorities not really working on the case, when in fact they were busy bee's trying to get the right guy. Now compare that to a 13 year wait that wasn't seriously worked on until 2022. I believe those of us who followed this case were taken by surprise when he was finally arrested. Compared to Idaho which was a fresh case and Gilgo being in the Antarctica this arrest is surprising, BK not so much because he was captured so quickly.
