Another question to ponder... I know LE has said Asa was out of town during the murders, are we to read this statement as being ONLY the 3 Rex has thus far been charged with?

That's how I read it. In fact if she was out of town when MBB went missing he might have already been indicted for her death.

Speculation

My husband and I had cobra for a year when my husband retired. Our monthly bill was no way near that amount the lawyer stated.

That's a high amount for AE. Her son should qualify for Medicaid. Due to her age, the daughter would need to obtain coverage via the marketplace.
The amount that Bob Macedonia quoted for COBRA is actually exactly what one of my relatives paid for COBRA for a year when he was laid off work in 2009 during the recession at that time. About $1,000 a month for he and his wife. I think it was a little over $1,000 a month.

Hey everyone,

@Jimmytoast has now been verified as a friend of Megan Waterman's sister.

As a VI, Jimmytoast is not required to provide links to what they state as fact about the case. Please treat them with respect at all times, and if you disagree with something they have to contribute, do not challenge them or argue with them. If you ask a question they may not be able to answer or do not wish to answer, do not badger them for information.

Thank you to Jimmytoast and all others who are here to discuss these cases and wait for justice for all these victims.
 
@ Ruminations Hello - maybe listen to the tapes from this morning interviews - you will hear that the lawyer for Rex’s estranged wife is very much refuting what JR said. I think you will also hear John Ray soften his tone and also indicate that the police do not have info from his witness - (I believe it was represented here that the police were in possession of info from this witness ). There is no more mention of “complicit”. So he has taken it down a notch imo. Now just indicates that she should be a suspect. He does call the family all sociopaths though which was new to me and still maintains they all knew about the SW ‘s and Rex in the house. Good news regarding Shannan it seems he has evidence to present to Ray T and the task force.
There are Lots of little nuggets through out the interviews but in the big picture IMO all is pretty much the same as it was before JR stirred things up after the morning presser was held. Back to status quo. JMO.

he calls the family all sociopaths? what is wrong with him? I used to think he was flamboyant yet all about seeking justice for the murdered people but first he says AE is complicit and now this?? he's lost my respect
 
In the past, even if she filed bankruptcy, it did not erase any tax responsibilities, federal loans or fines and fees. Anyone know, is that still the case?

The daughter needs to get a new job and walk away from her father’s company- IMO. Depending on her title and responsibilities, at RH’s company, and anything her father may have set up to make her financially responsible for the business- she may or may not be able to walk away, freely. If she has no legal executive or financial responsibility for his company, she’d be smart to just start over somewhere new.

I read somewhere that she was a receptionist.
 
if you find he’s associated with W 45th St (Feb 1996) Manhattan, 647 Belmont Ave, Brooklyn (2001/2002) or 2743 Fulton Ave, Brooklyn (2001/2002) or 174 Hull St (East NY) in 2013, please let us know.
174 Hull - not to far from Weeksville Heritage Centre? If so, have him 16 mins away from Hull street in 2013 and another one 10 mins away 2013 at a Jerome Street. Nothing so far has shown up for Hull St specifically, but will keep looking and for the others you've suggested.

Guess what I'm doing at work today o_O ;)

You are doing amazing work, thank you..
Anything ready for a google earth map, just maybe within 100 yd of the bldg, a bldg that he had access to in early 2000's that is till just sitting there?

There's a couple that are interesting like Rockaway Beach 32nd Street, there's no job description? Why would you make an application but not describe the work that is needing doing?

what year was that and was it an ongoing contract, can you see at all?

wondering whether it was a rollover type contract that was merely maintenance?
 
Back to sleuthing.
I have a question re chat GPT.

Assuming RH had a building where he brought his victims, could chat gPT locate all vacant buildings he had access to if fed the right information about all his active contracts since late 90's?

This technology is known to have flaws but why not give a shot. Couldn’t hurt anything. Just don’t be surprised if you ask it a question and it gives you a wrong or unrelated answer.

Eta: @kittythehare, this is good thinking out of the box. Give it a go! I’m not a fan of AI taking over the world, but it sure provides a new angle to sleuthing!!

You’re not using it to write your college papers, are you?

No, wrote all of those by hand way back when jesus was a boy..

I don't like it either and I don't have a clue how to work it or what info it would require to search for a needle in a haystack..
he had access to so many places it would be almost impossible to search each and every one of them.

If we could just get one clue from one survivor...


Just making sure we don’t forget about this great idea you have presented imo, @kittythehare, testing out AI as related to sleuthing.

Eta: First we need data points, as usual, @Foxfire 101, see signature :)

Notes:

I know you knew that.. just messin'.

Harrison did kind of leave it open. This is what he said

Harrison told CNN on Monday he was informed that once authorities told Ellerup and her daughter about the crimes Heuermann is accused of, the two were “shocked, they were disgusted, they were embarrassed.”

MORE ON CRIME AND JUSTICE​



Their reaction, he said, is why he believes they were not aware of what he was doing.

“But, time will tell,” he added. “And once again, there are still a lot more questions that need to be done to the family and friends.”

From above:

“Harrison told CNN on Monday he was informed that once authorities told Ellerup and her daughter about the crimes Heuermann is accused of, the two were “shocked, they were disgusted, they were embarrassed.”

what "the attorney's" aparently say is relevant to the discussion. It seems to matter, be relevant, when it's JR claiming "AE is complicit in the crimes and should be investigated" (and he should be trusted because of his past work on this case) so it is just as relevant when AE's attorney issues a complete denial stating "AE did not take part in these crimes" (as also stated by LE).

If one wants to discuss only what one attorney states and deem only that attorney's info as "relevant", they should not be surprised when someone else points out that LE has NOT named AE a POI (exactly the opposite thus far). That's what discussions are about. The attorneys have made themselves relevant to the discussions here with their counter-commentary --- so both sides have have points to make and both sides are still deemed victims at this IAW site policy and LEs statement of non-involvement. Do I think they are "equal" victims - "no", but they are still victims none-the-less.

If both the attorney's ceased their showmanship --- their respective commentaries would not be being discussed on here. As I stated from the get-go: they both need to crawl back under their rocks.

As a wife, who has no income of her own and, after many years of being a housewife, is now too old (too sick?) for a job, doesn't AE have to receive maintenance from her husband, including health care costs?
I believe that each US State has it's own laws governing divorce and assets/entitlements.

In Europe and Canada your points would be relevant considerations for the court for the spouse/common-law spouse (so would the disabled adult child) in rendering the divorce decree and asset split, but I don't know how NY State operates.
 
Re: JR discussion taking away from victims:

Actually imo I think we got through this great...We talked about everything within TOS, thread didn’t get shut down, we all respectfully shared thoughts...

This must really be a rock and a hard place for the mods...here we have JR, a long time advocate for SG and guest on YT WS, etc...which btw I was waaay stoked about and was there...then to have this curveball, yet WS rules re POI or suspect being named by LE..

But we are open for discussion, that’s a good thing. Means we’re doing something right. :)




Eta ps I call Macedonia “Bob” bc that’s what he was called on MSM video and it’s easier to type out.

—-

Eta2: I noticed something very interesting imo in Joseph Brewer’s court statements. When asked if anyone else was at the house other than SG or MK, he invoked his 5th Amendment Right. When he answered “No” to other questions, but pleased 5th on certain questions, Note to talk about that in SG thread.

See, that’s what I’m thiiiiinking their jail discussions might be about, could be wrong...financial stuff. Iirc the last PC with attorney Bob said they’re not discussing the case per attorney advice.
 
Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann taken off suicide watch

"The decision comes following an evaluation by mental health staff at Suffolk County Jail, according to a spokesperson Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr.

Heuermann will continue to be evaluated periodically, and his housing and security protocols have not changed.

[...]

Heuermann has been off suicide watch since August 3."
 
With respect, am positive they do know this. Precise day Maureen went missing is known. LE will have collected all info as to whether family were in or out of town at that time. LE know...they just haven't released details and they don't need to, so probably won't
It seems plausible to me that they hadn't known. And that they know now.

For example, if paper about her financial transactions were seized.

I think her phone was in Rex's name (?) IIRC, but it was long ago and a warrant wouldn't help.

If she had a financial instrument in her name only or something they couldn't get a warrant for, they could have learned about travel or ruled it out now.

MOO
