Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 3 murders, July 2023 #2

[Ann99]

I'm still puzzled about his hair. Maybe others are correct and that is his real hair. If it is... what kind of glue was he using to slick it down in his selfies, promo pics, video, etc... E6000? And, what happened to his sideburns in those pics?? (Sorry, his hair bugs me, lol)

I do think the hair issue is important. If he is wearing a toupee, a hair piece, a wig, that could carry thru to wearing those on his nights of stalking and killing. Different look, different disguises etc. could cause confusion and delay in any potential witnesses seeing a suspicious person. That is my only concern for understanding what’s going on with his hair.

Then why not display them vs hiding them away? My friends who collect have beautiful display cases.

Maybe they're not all legally acquired, or he doesn't have permits for all of them.

It is also on Discovery+ and MAYBE Amazon Prime? If you have a "broken firestick" that's how I stream all the tings I can't get.

The discovery+ website won't load for me - I tried three different browsers. And the Amazon Prime listing seems to be a series about Australian politics with the same title. Hulu is US only, so I'd need a VPN. Oh well, I guess it's not meant to be.

If any Aussies on the thread do find a way to watch, let me know.

On Long Island, we generally don't ever confront the neighbors about these things.

We don't either down south. But if it gets REALLY BAD, we turn them anomalously into the city code violation department. They handle it nicely and properly. We don't need any neighborhood fights. Most of the time we ignore the problem and turn the other cheek.

 

[NicMed329]

I’m American and to my knowledge it’s normally a code enforcement issue, which is typically left up to local (i.e. city or county) governments. There are also Homeowners’ associations, but that isn’t a legal thing and just depends on the neighborhood and whether or not it has one.

I live in the Atlanta area and have lived in both Fulton and Cobb county. In my experience, Cobb county was far more stringent with code enforcement. I was once given a warning because my car was apparently parked facing the wrong direction. My landlord was given a warning for having a lawnmower visible from the street, lol. So even in neighboring counties it’s different.

Where I’m living now, it’s not as strict on private property, but there are still lots of regulations. I could see a house like this being flagged where I live if someone reported it.

JMO.

I'm from Long Island and I honestly didn't think that the property looked that bad. Yes it is an old outdated house that needs a lot of repairs, but this is absolutely not remotely that bad compared to some people's properties. This is not a gated community or where there is city/town police in the area. As long as trees aren't going into someone else's property or if there is some other fire hazard/fire code, then the fire chief will come. Otherwise, the backyard looks pretty well kempt and the front yard isn't that terrible. JMO

Sorry I have no idea how to.

Plus I don't have pay tv.

They found 200 guns in his house!

Redirect Notice

The guns were in the 12x5 room that RH did not allow the designerKatherine Shepard to measure when she was at his house in 2005. Last I knew he was permitted for 92 guns. Wow 200? Per the CNN clip they include semi automatic and assault weapons. Yikes. Luckily LE nabbed him in a public place on a sidewalk outside the office. Imagine if he had been tipped off that LE was coming to arrest him and he was at home - imo

A cheap hair straightener for his bangs and ready. The sideburns he shaved perhaps.

No problem, I assume I'll get it eventually. Just yesterday, the special about the Idaho killings turned up on my Foxtel homepage, months after the US got it! So I'll look out for The Killing Season to turn up in maybe November or something.

Yep, the folks I know also have theirs displayed in protective, locked gun cases.

So, why lock them away in a room?
Because he's a murderdous, serial killing, hoarding, evil monster?
Who knows. I have a feeling though we're going to find out more than we ever wanted to know about this guy (more than we already know, I mean).

jmo

I totally agree@NicMed329 - I travel alot for business and end up going through many different neighborhoods around the country - I would give this a C grade. The place just has some deferred maintenance and the family obvi does not believe in raking leaves or care much about that or about curb appeal. It could be so much worse. jmo

Hopefully the detectives know also, why RH was so alarmingly dirty, when he approached the young woman. He must have done something mysterious there in the woods/in the park. I assume, he didn't just get himself free plants.

I think it is not only dirty. Dirty and agitated, perhaps. Do you remember BM when a wannabe YouTuber first caught him to talk after SM disappearance? BM was wet, dirty, but also definitely wanted to lead the young man away from that spot, and looked anxiously frazzled, for the lack of a better term. It gave me a strange vibe. I wonder if it was similar to what the young woman felt about RH, and if, in a way, he was also chasing her away from the place where he "got so dirty".

Because they're so carefully restricted and permit-based down here, you just don't advertise that you have them. In Texas, they'd be proudly displayed.

 

[Yellow Rose]

All his neighbors descriptions of him are so very unflattering. "crazy as a bedbug."

IMO, I personally thought hoarding because hoarders tend to hide their belongings and be ashamed of the mess. Part of me wonders how much junk was in that room and if he was genuinely ashamed of how messy it was.

That, and the fact that he has an absurd amount of firearms & is a serial killer…

IMO

As a non-american... you have a function to report that a house in your neighbourhood is not as pretty as the neighbours would want to? Wow.

This is just so to the other extreme from the "This is PRIVATE land, no-one may exist on MY land" that is usually portrayed about the US, that I have a hard time understanding how these two extremes can co-exist in the same cultural sphere.

Which one of these attitudes is more common? Could this house have been reported? What happens if a house is reported and would a NYC architect know of ways to get around such reports?

Where I live in western and mountain states of the US with relatively new and so many brand new housing developments of condominium/townhomes the Homeowners Association rules are sometimes very strict and will levy fines for scofflaws, non approved paint color, trash bin left out, camper parked & many more.

 

[Justice101]

They are going to run out of money investigating this one. It's got a million potential tentacles.

Hoarding is the perfect word.

Hoarding is sometimes linked to overeating and alcoholism. In some people, it is the same gene that blocks "enough, I am full" signal. (And the same drug, Topiramate, helps all three).

I think that his method of burying the bodies was hoarding-linked, too.

No one needs so many guns, and I doubt he did it for a purpose. For a purpose, as one case I read about has shown, one can purchase a tiny pistol from a private collection, and kill himself and someone else, almost on the spot.

This is collective, obsessive hoarding, and i wonder why he couldn't pay the taxes. Maybe he hoarded different things, and spent money on them? From his interview, and all accounts, I fully believe that he had superior IQ. He probably couldn't use it fully, but superior enough to deal with all codes and ordinances of the most expensive city to live in.

There should be some other hoards, of bodies and something else.

 

[vls12345]

All his neighbors descriptions of him are so very unflattering. "crazy as a bedbug."

I think that was from the previously linked Fox article. If so, the neighbor was referring to Craig, Rex's brother who lives in SC.

“That neighbor described seeing police driving out of the neighborhood on Friday and said he wondered what was happening. He also said he saw Craig's truck being towed from his private property.”

Are they eyeing the brother as a potential accomplice?

From earlier news reports, it seems that RH's brother has RH's previous Chevy Avalanche. That would have been a known vehicle of RH's at the time of the Gilgo Beach murders.

 

[Justice101]

IIRC from the news, I think the brother was in possession of the original Chevy Avalanche that Rex previously had.

Wow, that would be really interesting if he sold/transferred the original car from 10 years ago to his brother in SC.. .and then bought himself another used one.

That would be super-suspicious.
