when did he eat the pizza?
Weeks ago, surely?
And they had the bottles too..

I'm not sure his DNA could legally be entered into CODIS before his arrest.

…

“His DNA was never in the system until they arrested him,” the source said. “Now we can compare it to other crimes.”

My ex-husband was an instructor at the police academy during this time. He literally just said this to me the other day. To think of all the times I’d meet him there for lunch or bring the kids up to see him, now knowing that monster was right there. Makes me feel sick.

Massapequa in general is known to be the police and firefighter Mecca. Brazen!

I'm a bit confused, did you say your ex-husband knew RH?

 

[fred&edna]

No, I believe it was Robert Macedonio, the attorney for RH's wife, who stated that he was an avid duck hunter and shared a duck boat with a friend.

Suspected Long Island serial killer’s duck hunting could have been perfect cover for hiding bodies - WFIN Local News

New York architect Rex Heuermann, now a suspected serial killer, is described as an avid duck hunter, and he could have reached the Gilgo crime scene by water.

wfin.com

That seems like a solid source. imo

ETA: And, we can couple this with the statements made by morf's friend, too.

I think a lot about what that house dynamic must have been like during RH and CH childhood. It’s curious to me that no one who knew him as a child has come forward. His father died at a pivotal age (RH was 11). It seems that RH idolized his father, took after his wood working hobbies etc. His hatred for women could have simply arose after his fathers death, having to take orders from his mother. Curious if any animal torture/bed wetting/arson came into play in his youth which are tremendous red flags

I tend to lean this way as well. Mom raising 2 boys and ruling the roost after dad died. Would be curious as to her personality. I read the article where a classmate had received a note from Rex that he liked her and she never answered him. She said he was bullied quite a bit. I'd love to know the personality of his first wife and his soon to be ex second wife. Were they strong women who were perhaps a bit bossy and condescending?

Can I assume that the region lost a lot of people on 9/11? Anyway, a lot can happen in a neighborhood in the space of two blocks, especially in a big city.

Did Gilgo Beach Killer Use a Boat to Dump Bodies in the Marsh?

Inside Edition’s Les Trent boarded a boat with former FBI investigator Bill Daly to retrace the water route to Gilgo Beach.

www.insideedition.com

…
Police say Rex Heuermann was an avid duck hunter who knew these waters well, and a duck hunter out in a boat here would attract little attention, even late at night.

me: did LE say he was an avid hunter?

Something just seems off about the entire duck hunter thing. The most obvious being you can't duck hunt year round. At the right time of year, it might be the case that a duck hunter would attract little attention. It would also depend on if a certain area was permitted for hunting. I just feel like this is being pushed too hard by the media.

Agree with "did LE say he was an avid hunter?" I'm not sure they did.

 

[SkylarSid]

Agreed. I doubt it was anything sinister

Agreed. Especially with the adult special needs son. I have seen special needs adult collect many things.

a few weeks after his “accident”

That on February 23, 2022, plaintiff, REX HEUERMANN, was the operator of a 2012
Chevrolet…

Case Search Results

The 2018 pre-trial deposition from the 2017 accident has telling information regarding his whereabouts in more recent years, 2017-2018 time frame, also notes surgeries he's had (hernia, hip). He traveled to Vegas a few times, including once, "solo, for pleasure"; to Virginia multiple times, Florida with the family, New Jersey, Maryland and other parts of New York. He certainly got around.... He seems very litigious, IMO. The accident from 2017 that he was suing for, he was heading home at 10:15pm from work. Is that "normal" for an Architect to keep such hours? I can't imagine for the scope of things he claimed to do for work that anything with the city code dept, etc would be operating at that time. The file found online is long, but a pretty good read.

ETA, he also discusses not being able to "shoot his guns" because of hurting his shoulder in this accident, and references also driving the Jeep that was covered in his driveway.

when Valerie Mack remains were found in November 2000, the initial reports said that she was found by “pheasant hunters”, after that I read it reported as just “hunters”

EXCLUSIVE Gilgo Beach suspect's wife 'not involved,' says friend

Gilgo Beach murders suspect Rex Heuermann had 'full reign' for two weeks every year when his wife traveled to Iceland, one of her friends told DailyMail.com on Friday.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Wow….lots of little nuggets of information in this article that confirm what I’ve thought. The wife never worked, had a run down car, “looked like she needed money”, didn’t have a lot of freedoms…..he was probably 100% in control of the finances, he had her under his thumb. This woman is probably a shell of the person she was before marrying him. I pray for her and the children.

It is very common for architects to work long hours. If his practice went beyond permits, and included tasks like preparing contract documents, estimates and analyzing codes, he could potentially work very late.

The litigation was probably a significant income source.

Maybe he does his dumping during duck season, not necessarily his hunting or killing. Jmo

I just read that Rudy Giuliani showed up at the search of Rex Heuermann home. Strange! Its reported by TMZ, The Independent and Daily Beast.

Why would the wife's attorney say he was a duck hunter? I think LE could likely prove if and when RH had a hunting license. Maybe he just used the duck hunting burlap, and the boat he co-owned, and the boat ramp nearby??

Hunting Seasons​

The length of the hunting season, as well as bag limits are set annually at the Federal Level and based on current waterfowl populations and expectations for the future. For this reason, the season dates and limits usually change year to year, and hunters need to check the current waterfowl seasons before hunting.

On Long Island, as with other parts of the state, the dates of the waterfowl season vary from year to year. Tentative season dates are usually available in April, and finalized in late early summer. Keeping this in mind, the following generalities will give you an idea of the season dates on Long Island.

• Regular duck, coots and mergansers: 60 days counting back from the last Sunday in January.
• Sea Ducks: (eider, scoter and long-tailed ducks): concurrent with regular duck season.
• Brant: similar to regular duck season, shortened in recent years due to decline in midwinter survey numbers.
• Snow Geese: end of November through early March.
• Canada Geese (early season for regular geese): the day after Labor Day through the end of September.
• Canada Geese (regular): three zones, some portion of which coincides with the regular duck season.

The Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation also has six areas that are open to waterfowl hunting.

There are a few things about the Theresa Fusco case that keep nagging me now that we know more about RH. TF went missing in 1984, this case is related to 1 other murder and 1 disappearance in the Lynbrook area but never formally connected to LISK. She was found dead naked (strangled by a ligature), raped, and near LIRR train tracks off an access road not far from where she was last seen. Three men were later convicted but then exonerated in 2003 after semen DNA proved they were not responsible.

Theresas mother received “prank phone calls'' after her disappearance. I could only find one article and it referenced her testimony when the 3 original suspects sued NY for wrongful conviction. Keep in mind this was 30+ years after TF was killed but here is what she said:

“The callers sounded like young people and gave useless tips about clothing that was found, or someone seeing something being thrown into Hempstead Lake”

“I got one sick call: ‘Help me mommy, I’m suffocating’”

Two things strike me. 1) Peaches torso was found only a few miles away from where TF was dumped at Hempstead State Park and 2) the disturbing prank call describing how she was killed. The article is unclear on when the calls were made, but it appears it was before the body was discovered a month later.

I know theres prob a lot of confirmation bias in this one but based on a strong DNA sample and RH’s propensity to call and antagonize his victims families I hope they will at least test his DNA for any connection to this case… if so that may open up a string of other Lynbrook based murders/disappearances from the 80s only 10-15 miles from RH’s home.

RH was only 20 years old in 1984, possibly still in school.

I dunno...after hearing where RH just popped out of the bushes/landscaping/wooded area in the park to harass a young female..I realized this guy is on the prowl..on foot, by car, by wherever and whatever means... I have no trouble visualizing him chasing down a young woman in the dark of night on Gilgo. Until I know for certain I am going to assume he did it. mOO

Why were his clothes filthy? The young woman said he had filthy clothes? I think this guy never stopped prowling. Every resource everything he did was for this goal. Imho…. Which concerns me about how prolific he may turn out to have been.
