Appreciate this...I'm in NZ so it's great to be able to access most interesting media clips via WSers
I'll echo that, I'm from the UK the thread is so fast moving I guess I was lucky to just drop in on the last video.Interesting insight from the professor into evidence collecting and executing specifics of search warrants.

They probably have discounted property tax due to his son's disability. Plus the house was run down so the assessment is lower than it should be.

Yes, the assessment and taxes should be higher, but the property has been neglected. Not unusual among some NYers throughout the state, keeping in mind high property taxes are federal tax deductible.

BBM. I've wondered the same thing. RH liked to play sick games and so did BTK.

I watched an interview with BTK's daughter Kerri about RH's arrest. She talked about how incredibly traumatizing his arrest was for her family and is glad RH's wife filed for divorce.


Thanks for this, she puts into plain words what it's like being the family member of a monster.

I've seen a few interviews now with this young woman, she seems like a good advocate for family victims of serial killers. I really wish the press would leave RH family alone

I would be willing to bet RH's wife and the kids lived in hell with this man. Wife didn't work (nothing wrong with that), stepson was disabled which might explain why he was home all the time, and the daughter worked with dad. It seems he kept them on a short lease and kept them isolated from others. I bet they were terrified of him. They may even suspected he messed around but would have been too terrified to tell or even reach out for help.

Interesting tell that RH is sleeping a lot in his cell.
I read a great true crime book 30 years ago, called “What Cops Know” that was the first place I recall seeing it written down.

Weird isn't it?!
But the pattern is a perfect give away...thank God!
The pattern (murder, if family away) is a give-away. But how often could it have been, that 3 adults, 2 of them with a job probably, were absent for days and on vacation all together?
I read: Wife away - murder; wife away - murder; wife away - murder. What about the other two, who also lived there? RH's schedule must have been pretty elaborate. Maybe, as a planner he loved such task?

I'm doing some light middle of the night reading, about how Dennis Rader managed to cause calamity after calamity for so many all while going relatively unnoticed. Came across the biggest (and dumbest) coincidence of them all. When Rader asked police if he could be traced if he sent a floppy disk, he told them to respond, in code, in the newspaper, addressing him by the name he gave his penis. They did. It said, "Rex, it will be okay."

This link ^^:

The retired firefighter said that most of the people living on their street were police officers.

'For something like this to happen under our nose is very shocking.'
-.-
'It's extremely sad. I can't stand that this guy's home is in my neighborhood.'

Tavella said that Massapequa Park is mostly comprised of cops and firefighters, and 'it's all blue-collar workers around here.'

:eek:

20+ years ago I dated a gal from that town, her dad was a Suffolk Cty deputy. It's a working-class 'burb of NYC, like others close to there. This doesn't surprise me.

Back in the day, NYC LE were not well-paid, same for nearby communities where in the 90's you had to have a household income of $100K+ per year just to get by. I can't imagine what it's like, now. RH and family were in the poor seats on that street, never mind the town.

In the last thread I made a snide reference to I'm surprised RH wasn't renting out the basement. Anyone who understands what it's like to live on LI knows what I'm talking about, legit or not-so-legit.

And it's even worse post-covid. I'm from that little town Hugh Jackman was recently in a movie about. Oh boy do I have stories. Good times. People don't buy for the houses on LI. They buy for the plot and then build bigger $$$$$.

“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.”
Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann has reportedly told officials at his jail that he intends to stay out of trouble.

IMO, he wants support by staff against the "gangsters", who are surrounding him now.

I kind of hope he is feeling some fear but then again, he ambushed an ex-cop in Penn station a few weeks ago after having a verbal altercation with him and according to multiple reports he has threatened neighbors in the past. I don't think this guy fears much. Unfortunately. I bet he wants to be BMOC in time.

We lived in an illegal basement apartment for 23 years, nice working class street of houses, and 90% of them had either a room or apartment in the basement rented out. The suburbs in Toronto, same issues with wages etc. I get you, and I’m a bit surprised he didn’t either except for the obvious, he needed the basement. Also my landlord appointed himself the spokesman for a murder suspect after his kids’ music tutor was murdered. I wish I was joking. It’s also off topic, but came to mind typing this out.

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

SC, at his brother perhaps? Or one of the storages?

In jail, verbal fighting back wouldn't be enough, I think.

The guy is kinda huge and ruthless. Anyway, no way to know.

I just hope the guy feels fear at some point. Karma, baby.
