@Friday13 (reply didnt Work) This is true. We have ridiculous building codes. And can get costly and time consuming. And if you don’t get a CO, when you go to sell, it will be revealed (usually prior to closing) and will be an even more difficult process and delay closing.

Yes, potted plants, not marijuana.

Is 'pot plants' an Australianism? I mean, we call marijuana, pot, too, but if I said pot plants when having a conversation about gardening, then unless I'd already talked about drugs, most people would assume geraniums, not Mary Jane.

They are looking for “trace evidence, blood, DNA” as well as possible “trophies,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said last week.

“Normally, people keep mementos of significant times in their life, so that’s what we’re looking for,” the DA told Newsday on Thursday.

The heavy machinery brought in over the weekend marked a major intensification of the search that started 12 days ago when the architect was busted outside his Midtown Manhattan office.

Officials have yet to reveal if the ongoing dig and intense search of Heuermann’s home — as well as his office, vehicles and other properties, in South Carolina and Las Vegas — has unearthed new alleged evidence likely to be key in the case.

Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison refused to discuss it with NBC News in an interview that aired Monday, only noting the “disturbing” discovery of more than 200 guns.

However, he revealed how dismissive Heuermann, 59, had been when he was busted murdering three of the “Gilgo Four,” and named the prime suspect in the fourth.

“He very much said, ‘What am I here for? I don’t know nothing of what you’re talking about,'” the top cop said.

Yes pot plants is a very common term here in Australia for plants in pots.
No one would think it's to do with drugs if you said pot plants.

I really feel awful for RH's wife and children, hell his whole family, at this point.

Who knows, there may be a scrapbook of hair mementos

No, unless you specified that you were growing some 'special' tomatoes along side your regular ones...

I'd think that, if he did keep on murdering petite SW's, it only would have been when his wife and step son and d' were out of town.

I read they took the Iceland trip yearly.

Who knows, there may be a scrapbook of hair mementos

*Y’all think ‘hair’ is his tell?

…The trouble for detectives, or anyone else seeking to figure out whom a strand of hair belonged to, is that unless it contains a root, which only a tiny percentage do, it’s about as helpful as a nearby rock.

These limitations emerge at trials, where forensic scientists have to explain to juries why, contrary to what’s seen on TV, they can’t get sufficient DNA out of a hair plucked from a sweater, and when amateur family historians stumble upon a deceased relative’s hairbrush. Without a root, labs will tell them, there’s no hopeof generating a DNA profile for a genealogy site.

Until now. Ed Green, a paleogeneticist at the University of California, Santa Cruz known in the scientific community for his work on the Neanderthal genome, has developed a technique that makes it possible to recover and sequence DNA from hair without the root.

And over the past 18 months, he has been quietly cooperating with several law enforcement agencies, using this method to extract genetic profiles from the hairs of killers and victims in long unsolved crimes.

“It was kind of written in stone that you can’t do it, and now he’s doing it,” said Deputy Pete Headley of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department in California, who was involved in a case in New Hampshire that Dr. Green’s technique helped crack.

Justin Loe, the chief executive of Full Genomes, a genetics services company, called the technique “a game-changer.”

“Criminals think of wearing gloves or wiping down blood,” he said, “but fewer think to shave their head.”

I also think so.
After all it was INSIDE the house.
Do ppl need permit to do changes inside?
IDK.

RH would have to have cared about ventilation of the space. I can't imagine, that was done without permit.

I read they took the Iceland trip yearly.

Just a theory but, I think they are going to find that he had multiple killing sites. Some he did at home while his family was away, and some at other locations. I'm not sure his family was away often enough to keep up with is appetite. That may have been when he went on business trips out of town. =(

No, unless you specified that you were growing some 'special' tomatoes along side your regular ones...

I love different kinds of plants, and fruit and veg varieties.
If someone said they had special tomatoes, I wouldn't think of drug plants, I'd think of something like black tomatoes or some other rare kind.

I think hair is pretty durable, can be concealed places without odours or other unpleasant problems, and, as of the wonderful new world we live in as of the last few years - they can get DNA from unrooted/cut hair. If he didn't keep body parts, I hope he kept hair, preferably in nice little moisture and bug-proof baggies, labelled with names, or at least dates. He was obliging with his series of burner phones; let's hope he's just as methodical with trophies.

Maybe O/T but one interesting thing about BTK is that there was no evidence that he physically (uhmm... himself) penetrated any of his victims, however, semen was found near some victims. I wonder how many other sexual sadist killers have this "performance" problem. *Sorry, I'm not trying to be humorous but I'm having trouble with vocabulary. I mean, I know the words but I'm not sure if I can use them here.

I tend to assume it's a matter of not wanting to leave evidence- I addition to the part some would think is the fun part not being all that to these murderers. I am hardly an authority on "satisfaction," however.

No one is questioning your vocabulary; I enjoyed reading your post.

When I wrote my comment I mentally visualised the person doing the airquotes with their fingers and emphasising 'special'.

[TootsieFootsie]

That's what I was thinking re if he did keep hairs and they were in good enough condition, it could lead to who knows how many more victims being discovered.
