What in the heck am I seeing here. Looks like the belt has been altered using the clone tool in photoshop. Why.

From the search warrant executed at Craig Heuermann's property in South Carolina:

"Potential instruments used in the homicides that investigators sought included cell phones, condoms, cut distal ends of black leather belts, devices that stamp letters on leather, knives, scissors, cutting instruments, and Bounty paper towels."



Edited to add: We've been wondering about RH's travels. <modsnip>

In watching a recent CBS news report I noticed the Indictment being partially shown on RH

It read "belts" and "tape" were found on victims. Noting the belts being plural. I am not sure if that was mentioned before so I thought I would post.

And finally in the below heading I watched and listened and unless I am too tired to notice I could not hear this being discussed. But I may listen again.

Investigators believe at least one Gilgo Beach murder victim was killed at home suspect shared with his family​

@iamshadow21 (I still can't successfully bring over posts from another thread, sorry) you wrote: The Atlantic City victims were all killed in a very tight window of time - October to November, with the final one being killed likely only a day before they were found. Unless RH could explain away a trip to AC every two weeks or so, I think it's more likely the AC victims were killed by someone living local, for those two months, at least.

FWIW, Atlantic City would only be a 3 hour drive from his home in Massapequa, and 1 1/2 hours tops from NYC. I am not totally convinced he is connected to the AC victims, but IMO, it is still a good possibility.

It’s interesting to me that they were all positioned facing East, and his home on LI is East (Northeast) of AC.

Police in Las Vegas, where Heuermann owned a timeshare, said this week they are also looking at possible connections to unsolved cases.

"We are working with partner law enforcement agencies, obviously the FBI continues to be engaged, to see if there are any other connections that need to be made," Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said Thursday. "I can tell you this: the investigation continues. We will remain and our police department will remain focused on bringing justice for our other victims."

Two of Heuermann's Chevy Avalanches are also being examined for evidence.

The first, a newer black Avalanche, was towed from his Massapequa Park property Friday. The second, an older green Avalanche, was recovered on his property in South Carolina and towed by a New York State Police flatbed to New York, where it arrived at the Suffolk County Crime Lab at 4 a.m. Wednesday.

Harrison says Heuermann gave the green Avalanche to his brother, who lives in South Carolina, around 2015. Harrison says Heuermann owned the vehicle at the time of the murders of three women whose bodies were dumped along Gilgo Beach.

He says they are looking for anything that will help authorities connect the victims to that vehicle.

"Anything from hair, to trophies, to souvenirs, to jewelry," Harrison said.

The 12-day hunt for evidence involved ripping up the yard and the discovery of a basement vault containing hundreds of weapons kept by the man accused of killing at least three women more than a decade ago.

MBB the first victim was bound by three belts, including on with the initials WH. Also. I burlap was used in disposal of her body. Quite possible his first victim given the fact he seemingly used whatever he had around at the time and no camouflage on hand.

The rest all were found bound by duct tape and in camo burlap.

Easy to compare his belts to evidence... his belts are extra-extra-long.

Apparently RH talked about bear hunting? From the article:

An architecture client of Heuermann's didn't want to speak on camera, but described him as soft spoken and good at navigating New York City permits, adding he was disheveled, sloppy, and missing teeth, but never threatening and spoke of enjoying bear hunting.

BBM. That does appear it may be inexperience, doesn't it? If so, what in the world might have started killing so late in life?

In answer to your Qs:
1. Some sort of convention: Absolutely. I've seen it frequently in the business demographic here.
2. NY & NJ & CT, known as the Northeast Tri-State area commonly networks for business, as these three locations are easily drivable for any appointment.
3. Currently there is one Casino on Long Island. Jake's 58, located on the service road of the Long Island Expressway. But honestly, I don't see NYC business men, and not even Long Island business men spending much time there. I wouldn't call it a real casino. EVERYTHING in it is video, even card games, roulette, and craps (where's the fun in that? LOL).

RH has a timeshare in Vegas. Was he a big gambler?

Rex Heuermann’s family hasn’t visited him in jail, says Gilgo murders’ arrest has taken ‘emotional toll’

Rex Heuermann has so far been charged in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, Amber Lynn Costello, 27.

Based on a past program, it seems like it is much more focused on decoys and duck calling (the Barnegat Bay convention is home to the New Jersey Duck Calling Championship) than guns. It seems to be more of a hub for people looking to buy/sell decoys and other duck hunting related gear than a gun show.

Maybe they sell camo burlap.

In her more than 27 years of marriage to Rex Heuermann, Asa Ellerup likely did not know about the gruesome double life her husband is accused of living, Suffolk County’s top cop says.

“If you ask me, I don’t believe, that they knew about this double life that Mr. Heuermann was living,” Suffolk County police commissioner Rodney Harrison said of the suspect’s family.

But authorities are not ruling anything out yet and are continuing to collect information “to see if the family might have known exactly what Mr. Heuermann was up to,” Harrison told CNN’s Erica Hill Monday.

On Wednesday, less than a week since her husband’s arrest, Ellerup filed for divorce, her attorney Robert Macedonio told CNN.

She was shocked to hear what her husband is accused of, Harrison said.

But she unknowingly played a key role in her husband’s arrest: it was her DNA, among other evidence, that authorities say helped tie Heuermann to the crimes.

Heuermann and Ellerup were married in April 1996, the suspect said in a 2018 deposition. Since then, they lived in Heuermann’s red and green childhood home in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa Park with their daughter and Heuermann’s stepson.

Neighbors described the home as creepy and the family as distant, according to the Long Island Press, a monthly magazine serving Long Island.

“The family is very to themselves, quiet,” neighbor Frankie Musto told the publication. “We never saw anything suspicious.”

In his 2018 deposition, Heuermann said he had been married once before. That marriage, he said, lasted three years and they had no children

*what are those red tanks for? kinda behind the tree.

 

[investigatefred]

Very possible but in my opinion and living in the area. I don't think hes A duck hunter or at least not in the past 2 or 3 decades. No one really hunts in the area, very little and hard to get permits and any gun shots usually means cops show up because the soccer moms don't like guns. . Hunting is hard you need to be in some type of shape.
I explained my opinion in posts from yesterday.

I am so glad there has been an arrest made in this case. I have spent years looking at evidence. Speculating with friends, some of whom are cops. A buddy and I have even taken late night rides in the area years ago hoping to find this monster "dumping bodies". As if he was going to go back to...

Despite having years of outstanding taxes on the Massapequa Park house, RH is up-to-date on his property taxes on the 4 lots he owns in Chester County, SC.

 

[CuriousCricket]

RH has a timeshare in Vegas. Was he a big gambler?

I don't know that that's ever been addressed. In the Bail Application, where there is a lot of info, the travel was limited to the wife and children being out of town when the GB4 were killed and one of RH's trip's to Iceland during which the phone of Melissa Barthelemy went silent, but started up the day after RH returned to the States, and there may have been a trip of his to Virginia that was pertinent. Much of the document was detailing cell phone activity of RH, a burner phone that traveled with his and connected with the phones of the victims' as well as locations for the victims' phones. Presumably, there could have been much travel that it was not necessary to detail for this document.
