I guess he's happy collecting his pension (which I assume he's still receiving).

The article below is from 2018

Burke was released from prison last month and has been paid more than $600,000 by the county. He still earns a yearly pension of almost $150,000.


Is that a bottle of Crown Royal in the blue bag he's carrying?

If Suffolk County is able to recoup any of this money, it should be put towards a fund to do advanced forensic testing on unsolved cases & identify Suffolk County Does!

From the article:

"Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta has proposed legislation to recoup $1.5 million of taxpayer money from former Chief of Police James Burke.

Burke went to prison after he was found guilty of beating a man while in police custody. Suffolk County paid Loeb a $1.5 million settlement – and the county is still paying for the former police chief’s job benefits."

He looks like a different person now.
I'm not sure how old he is, but he aged considerably.
I would never guess he is the same man.

I cannot believe this man still gets a pension, that is sickening

I don't think it's weird he paid taxes on the empty lots, but IMO the fact that he paid $5,500 in taxes on those lots in March 2022 while still having $641 in outstanding taxes on the Massapequa Park house in the 2022 tax year (his tax assessment on that house was $6,020 in 2022, so not significantly more than the 4 lots in SC) is interesting.
Does anyone get the feeling that he wanted to debase that house, let it go to shambles, fill the house with from floor to ceiling, turn it into an arsenal and do his sleazy acts and searches in Mommy’s house? As time goes on, will the SC property, from which the older green Avalanche was seized, and the current residents be fully investigated? Will anyone else be implicated?

That's an interesting question. It seems he planned to retire in SC, and retirement years are approaching. What were his plans for that house? Tear it down and sell the lot? Surely he couldn't sell "as is" with potential evidence in the house (and potentially quite literally IN the house).

I think that's the point. I would venture a guess that before it's all over everything will be removed. Especially since they feel that one or more of the of the women were killed inside that house. Anything could have been touched etc.
Once the place is cleared out we wiil most likely see all the floors walls ceiling etc opened/removed etc. Just a horrific thing to digest for a stranger let alone for his immediate family JMO
When the house is emptied, any luminal tests will be very interesting.

I hope they don't close this case with RH's arrest. There are definetely some people that need to be looked into, and James Burke is one of them.

I feel that there may be a third killer at work here, next to Bittrolff and Heuermann, with the latter not dismembering his victims. The GB4 and the Asian male were not dismembered.

And there are quite a few dead bodies on LI that haven't been given as much attention as the GB4.

Does anyone know the exact dates his wife left and returned from her trips that coincided with the girls missing/murders or approximately how long she would be gone for? I wonder if he went trolling for victims as soon as she left and had ample time to clean up/repair/replace things around the house if necessary.

I guess his wife will tell us if his time alone was planned long in advance or not, as that may change the way he operated. I reckon he didn't have much time to stalk his victims out on the streets, if so, with a busy job and an unsuspecting family.

Heuermann not watching the news while in jail is interesting to me. If all reports are true, he was extremely interested in the case and especially interested in talking to people about it. Getting their ideas but also sharing his. If he watches the news he can't respond. The narrative is out of his control. Maybe he doesn't want others to see him mad. It seems like he has some sort of self control. We know he is able to have dates with sex workers and not kill. Maybe he waits until the second or third date. He's a hunter. Since LE has some of the phone records, they'll know. IMO, theres already enough evidence to put this guy away forever but it's always nice to have more.
If I understand you correctly, I concur. Viewing videos within the confines of LE would be intimidating. A criminal with an ounce of sense would put on a poker face.

Yes, it looks like he is able to control his urges, killing only when his family is reliably away. That makes his "kill window" rather small.

Not necessarily.
It only takes a few seconds to kill a person.
It might however make his torture window very small had he only used his home place for victims.
I do wonder whether he had access to another location as well, a place he could leave them tied up and alive that did not require his constant presence.
I'm thinking this way because I believe, without evidence he was involved in other murders. JMO

Ahhhh thank you so much! I’ve read the bail application several times too, I think my brain is on overload since the news broke on Friday! Wow….42 days gone in 2009….that’s concerning for a few reasons. He also went during that time period though, too, IIRC, maybe met his family over there before traveling back home with them?
... explains why he was able to "keep" MB for a while, as he admitted when calling MB's sister.

Sick.

“It seems like he’s very comfortable in his cell and his surroundings,” Mr Toulon said. “He’s indicated to my staff that he would not be any issue to us and would be extremely compliant, so we’ll see how that plays out in the days and weeks ahead.”
