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

[IzzyBlanche]

“Since Rex Heuermann is a serial sexual sadist, he was not satisfied by killing, and likely torturing, his victims,” Dr. Carole Lieberman told Newsweek of the architect, 59, who pleaded not guilty last week to multiple murder charges in connection with the deaths of three women over a decade ago.

“He needed to taunt their families with calls to gloat about having killed their loved ones, in order to inflict pain on
them, as well.”

“Is this Melissa’s little sister?” an anonymous male voice asked the victim’s then-16-year-old sister, Amanda, during one phone call.

“Do you know what your sister is doing? She’s a *advertiser censored*.”

“[He said that] he killed her; he raped her,” Amanda recalled of the eerie exchange in an interview with PIX11 News in 2020.

Wow, I posted more or less the same ideas in an earlier JMO post here somewhere.

Without benefit of doctorate.

Not dissing Dr. Lieberman at all, just pleased that I'm getting wiser as I get older (and feed my addiction to true crime daily, that might have something to do with it).

One thing might be to protect assets so that everything doesn't get used on his defense costs.

The thing that I was concerned about is the back taxes. If he owes so much in back taxes (even if she is not aware) and they filed jointly each year, isn't she responsible for paying those taxes, too?

Plus, if he is found guilty and she has any assets, the families of the victims will surely file a lawsuit for damages. I wouldn't think that a divorce would protect the assets, but I don't know.

All I know is that it has to be a nightmare for his family. They are victims, too.

JMO.

She filed for divorce? Interesting. You guys I'm not even working and I can't keep up on this case. What else have I missed ... going back to read.

Can someone post a link to his 8 or so addresses? I think one is in Massachusetts

I certainly hope the new task force did or will revisit Johnny Terry and we will finally know whether the killer called him over 30 times or not. The details of the calls from Melissa's phone and those burner phones would certainly show if these calls occurred and the phone's location at the time of the calls, if they really happened.

The way this case was originally handled is disgusting. Did SCPD ever follow up on the client's description and the Avalanche lead from DS and did they really go to the home, in LI, where Johnny Terry said he would drop Melissa? Why did they never inform the public about the pattern on the burlap being Camo, or give a general description of the Avalanche and the man driving the Avalanche. Is it possible that Burke didn't want the public's help? Perhaps, he knew the suspect because they ran in the same circles?

"The strategy was to catch him by his workplace and take that long ride from 35th and 5th out to 30 Yaphank which could be a 1.5-hour ride and see if he could talk and give up anything about his role in this investigation," Harrison continued."

"As soon as we informed him he’d be placed under arrest, we put him inside the vehicle, read him his Miranda rights. He asked for a lawyer and that was the end of the conversation," Harrison said."

Gilgo Beach suspect's wife allegedly told cops: 'Ok, it is what it is'

Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison recalled the moments after Rex Heuermann's arrest, including what he did -- and didn't -- say to police.

"The case was in the grand jury and could there be a possible leak. That, with a combination of him being a violent human being, and the sooner, the better we could get him off the streets, the safer we could make Suffolk County," Harrison said.

I hope the cops are going to run dogs through the Massapequa preserve which us heavily wooded and .5 miles from the monsters dwelling.

that level of hatred and malice must have been difficult to conceal from his family or anybody.
he seemed to be reliving the thrill and doubling down..
I'm not sure it was sexual, he had after all researched the relatives of the victims..
I think it was sheer evil, whatever that means.

The Indo Daily: Has the Long Island serial killer been caught at last?

An architect has been accused of killing three women whose bodies were found close together in 2010 on Gilgo Beach, Long Island. Investigators have said they expect to charge him with the murder of a fourth woman: Maureen Brainard-Barnes. The women, were among 11 sets of human remains found on...

''Attorneys for alleged Gilgo Beach murders suspect Rex Heuermann have insisted on their client’s innocence.

Criminal defence attorney Michael J Brown described 59-year-old Mr Heuermann as a loving husband and devoted father and suggested that investigators are ignoring stronger leads in the probe into the deaths of slain sex workers Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello and Megan Waterman.


“There is nothing about Mr Heuermann that would suggest that he is involved in these incidents,” Mr Brown said in a statement to New 12.

“And while the government has decided to focus on him despite more significant and stronger leads, we are looking forward to defending him in a court of law before a fair and impartial jury of his peers.”

Horror details of alleged serial killer's life and incriminating Google searches

The evidence documents submitted to the Suffolk County court today regarding the arrest and subsequent murder charge of suspect Rex Heuermann contain some horrifying, strange, and sickening statements put together by a task force investigating this 11-year-long saga

www.mirror.co.uk

The Tinder Profile was set up in the name “Andy” (Heuermann’s middle name is Andrew), with links to a burner cellphone which was subscribed in the fictitious name of “Andrew Roberts,” using an email account, [email protected]. The [email protected] account was established with AOL on January 15, 2011, in the fictitious name “John Springfield” with an Astoria, Queens, New York zip code, using another burner cellphone.
-.-.-
What if in 2011, when RH set up the AOL account, he had already 9 victims, therefore the number 9 added to the username "Springfieldman"? Because he seems to be proud of his crimes, it would make sense to me, if he added the number of victims. Nobody would have known, but him. What a thrill.

The name Springfield is eye-catching. It is one of common toponyms in US. See map in Wikipedia. Nonetheless, knowing how the names are often created, it would be interesting to know if he ever lived next to/traveled to/went to school to next to one of Springfields.

I think it's pretty normal to believe that, but attractive people use sex workers as well, for as many reasons as there are people. Busy life, unsatisfying relationship, socially awkward, or even just an unfulfilled fantasy.

All of the above, plus concerns about sexual performance, IMHO.

May have been known to him for reasons .....

A Springfield in NY, SC, and in three of the states bordering NV.

Site of abduction for any victims nearest the time he established that name?
Known or unknown missing people?
he used the number 9 and some media speculated it was a victim count when he used it..
his mind is dark..
he thinks like maybe scores? Speculating
worth a search?

 

[Inthedetails]

I think he'll stay quiet for a while but ultimately I think he'll crack. His ego will get the best of him & he'll talk.

I don't think so. He prides himself on patience and tenacity.

I'd guess hubris, egos, and politics played a roll in this.

Same as how many other cases we've seen, Delphi, IN, murders come to mind.
