GUILTY GA - Rusty Sneiderman shot to death at Dunwoody preschool, 18 Nov 2010 #1

[Gozgals]

Thanks for the updates. I believe too they were having an affair and have since she did not ID him from the get go. I am still unsure if she was involved in the murder or he ran with it after the business trip and took this upon himself. I gather he fell in love with her.
I'm sure LE is watching her carefully and have gone over all the evidence they have regarding the wife.

I found it tragic he had to lose his life over another marriage which what I believe the cause may be cheating spouses! Why can't divorce be an option for some that murder, (not saying she is involved yet) but all we read about here. It's as if they all think they are going to get away with killing their spouses.


Blessings for Rusty

Regarding the time for daycare drop off, it could have been something Rusty had shared before (i.e. he and Hemy were trying to meet up for coffee to go over Hemy's resume and Rusty said "I drop off Johnny at at 9, so I could meet you down the street at 9:15" or something like that). Or maybe Andrea usually did it and couldn't be at an early team meeting until 9, but on Thursdays Rusty did it. Something like that.

I agree that this isn't hard evidence. Too many details come up in conversation casually, especially if they were meeting to network and help Hemy find a new job.

And Hemy may have watched Rusty to get an idea of his schedule. This might have been the one really consistent point of his whole day.

I see it a little differently. It is sort of like those intersecting circles we used to have in math class. Big circle of married spouses who cheat. Big circle of murder victims. Smaller intersecting circle of married spouses who end up as murder victims.......Not all cheaters murder, and not all murderers are cheaters!

I agree, although I'm not sure how small the intersecting circle of murderers who cheat would be. I'm trying to think of one who didn't.

Was it the Scott Peterson case where a talking head said, "Not all cheaters are murderers, but virtually all murderers are cheaters." ???

I agree. Rusty considered Hemy a friend - the families were friendly. Plenty of people in my circle could have figured out when I dropped my kids off at daycare/preschool.

The attorney for Hemy Neuman's wife said her client's husband was having an affair with the widow of the man he's accused of killing.

"We believe there was an extramarital relationship between Hemy Neuman and Andrea Sneiderman," Esther Panitch, who represents Ariela Neuman, told the AJC.

I still say she probably knew this was going to happen.

If so, it shows two cold unfeeling self centered human beings, IMO.

It seems Hemy was having financial difficulties.

I would gather Rusty was not and had acquired plenty of wealth.

She would not have to share custody of the children with Rusty. Nor would she have to wait for a long and laborious divorce case to be finalized.

She would not have to share his wealth because if he was dead she would get it all.

I see more benefits for Rusty's wife with him deceased than I do for Hemy. I think Hemy was just the tool used.

Now will the police ever be able to prove that? Maybe or maybe not.

IMO

Neuman’s wife, Ariela, filed papers compelling the Dekalb District Attorney's Office to hand over any evidence that would prove a romantic and/or physical relationship between her husband and Andrea Sneiderman. Ariela Neuman’s attorney said the two were having an affair.

But the DA's Office fired off an objection to that request. The DA’s filing said in part "that the state does possess material and information which responds to the plaintiff's subpoena to produce." In other words, the state has evidence that would point to a relationship between the Neuman and Sneiderman's wife.

The state doesn’t want to hand over the evidence, in part because the information could be released to the media, the filing said.

Isn't this an interesting difference between this case and the Kyron Horman case???

Thanks! I hope that LE can prove it. People are not that bright and if she is involved, I'm sure she made a mistake. It's important before an arrest (as we all know) to have all the ducks in a row.

I hate these stories of such cold people. I think if you need to step out on your spouse, divorce them esp. if children are involved.

the 48-year-old engineer visited a shooting range 16 days before he allegedly gunned down a co-worker's husband, 36-year-old Rusty Sneiderman, last Nov. 18. His signature on a sign-in sheet at a Woodstock range was among 3,233 pieces of evidence collected by the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office.

That appears to be quite a bit of evidence. The timing of the visit to the shooting range is interesting, however, I'm curious if it was the only time he went or not. MOO

Good Lord!

I have to say that there seems to have been some good police work in this case.

I think it sure shows he was preparing himself for this premeditated plan for at least 2 weeks prior.

It reminds me of Army Major Nidal Hasan who began practicing at the firing range before he went on his murder spree at Ft. Hood.

Simply renting the car and having the disguise shows premeditation, so the trip to the shooting range is a bonus. At least it appears LE has a very solid case against him. MOO

 

[angelmom]

1) I wonder if they ever found the gun.

2) I wonder if Hemy ever owned a gun.

If 1 and 2, then 3) I wonder if he has been able to show that gun to LE for a ballistics comparison.

If 2 but not 3, then 4) I wonder if the gun he used to own is the same type used at the gun range (do they keep track of stuff like that?) or the same type used at the crime scene.

OR I wonder if the gun used at the range is the same as the one used in the crime, regardless of 1, 2, or 3.

I need a press conference. Amen?

I hear you - lost in those questions I want to know the answers to too!

But my BIG I wonder is - was Rusty's wife involved?

Plus, once she saw they arrested and charged him, she must have known all sorts of crazy was going to come out based on her affair. But - until we hear what was in those communications - I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I think despite the fact they were engineers or whatever they were incredibly stupid. The murder itself was not well thought out.

Plus regarding her fear of admitting an affair, your husband is gunned down, the father to your children etc...is dead right outside the daycare center. When it turns out the prime suspect just happens to be your lover you keep quiet so as not to make yourself look bad???

An innocent person that may have had an affair but never imagined it would lead to their husband being gunned down would come clean right then. An innocent person would be so darn shocked at the brutality of the situation they would at the very least be in fear this unstable lover nutcase might come after them or their kids should he be released. Covering up the affair would be the least of their concerns.

True but number of divorces and affairs and such does impact the murder risk quite a bit.

Years ago I took a fun quiz called "Rate Your Risk of Being Murdered". Back then the quiz response offered good tips on the risk factors and such. Divorce/Cheating/Workplace (ie convenience store, firings, etc...)/Size of city and also the number of loaded firearms you keep nearby were mentioned as big factors.

I posted a version of the test on websleuths if anyone wants to try it (though the response answers are very PC on this version, they don't tell you what reduces your risks or inflates it anymore, they just offer very tame advice instead).

That is the one question I'd like answered also. Even if she wasn't directly involved in Rusty's murder, i.e. setting the stage for Neuman to kill him at the daycare, did she lead Neuman to believe there was a future between them if her husband was out of the way? Or did Neuman believe that on his own and was she totally oblivious to his plan? MOO

 

[*LD*]

The judge has denied Mrs. Neumans's request for information the DA has about the affair citing "paperwork error". This only means that her lawyers will have to refile their request. Clearly the DA is just stalling but the DA did admit to the AJC that they do have proof that there was an affair going on between Andrea and Hemy

 

[robinparten]

It will be so interesting to see the evidence, particularly evidence that points to the "constant communication" between Hemy and Andrea right before and after the murder. I wonder if they were in constant communication all the time, or if that only happened right around the murder.

The more I think about this case, the less likely I believe it is that Hemy murdered Rusty without Andrea's knowledge. I don't know why, but the "constant communication" they allegedly had around the time of the murder seems to cast a load of suspicion on Andrea, for me at least.
