Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 3 murders, July 2023 #5

[Friday13]

Suffolk DA: Law enforcement had to be cautious with info about case prior to Heuermann's arrest

The district attorney says authorities were getting closer and closer over the past 18 months to making a break in the Gilgo investigation, but they could not let the suspect know that.

They did a fantastic job, IMO, especially after how mishandled this was in the beginning. I really respect the time and dedication they put into it. Truthfully, every year that past without an arrest, I was losing hope. I’m so grateful that these victims and their families finally have an answer. I hope he talks, there’s a lot of loose ends that have yet to be tied.

Yes, it is in his deposition for a lawsuit he filed for being hit by a car and has many good bits of info!! The file is too large to upload, but can be viewed at Document List

It is Item #20 under the case.
He had shoulder surgery February 2018, and also mentioned a "mesh" hernia surgery he had 2014 or 2015.

As per my previous post, he mentions several trips as well that are telling of some of his movements in more recent years up to 2018 when the desposition was done.

Do you think he was 100% truthful, even under oath? Just for arguments sake; if he had traveled somewhere in 2015 and committed a crime, is it possible he conveniently omitted that information? He seems to travel via car a lot, I would start looking at his EZ Pass because I’m sure with all his road trips he’s got one.

I snipped your comment a little, I hope that is okay.

Quite the contrary - The goal of being a successful prepper would be to be prepared to take care of you and your own, being able to defend your home and stash from others and without having to participate in a society (or whatever is left) or rely on others.

I think it's both.

Disaster preparedness was once an American pastime. Is it back?

Prepping was seen as a fringe hobby for survivalists and reality TV. Then came the pandemic.

and I find he's too selfish to take care of his family, they were clearly neglected, impoverished and generally joyless from all accounts.
i could see him sending them off on survivalists or doomsday preparedness educational courses so he could be taken care of... by them.

I wonder if his plan was to retire down to S.C. by himself and leave them in the Massapequa house.

IMO, I'd be sure he left out a lot. But considering his answers to some things, it does help fill in some of his timeline and whereabouts so there is at least an indication of places that should certainly be looked into by LE.

I doubt he would ever have left that house.. his roots, his connection to his mama is that building... his entire raison d'etre is probably enmeshed in that building.
he would have been like a fish out of water anywhere else.
His lair. His dungeon. His fifedom..

Didn’t his family go on annual vacations to Iceland? I’m not sure that qualifies as impoverished or generally joyless. I can see him being remote and unfeeling, especially given he might be a psychopath but he was apparently also good at hiding his most twisted appetites. By all accounts, his wife and family had no idea.

I read the articles, they just do not align with them going to Iceland. Trips like that are expensive. I think they just scrimped to afford certain things. Keep in mind he was also paying for the SW habit he had. That means they had some money.

If a vault is really think, as someone said 2 feet walls of concrete wouldn’t it be soundproof? With an huge vault door? Scarey to me 12x15 size? Any gun collectors? My friend (deceased) was a gun smith and had a shop. He had nothing like a room like that. It was by his home and just all security bells and whistles.

I would think vault and soundproof would be about the same technically imo

Maybe he relished the time they spent in Iceland so he could be alone. A expense he thought worth paying.

Exactly. Still far from the whole family being impoverished.

I think Backpage became popular with the SW after Craigslist stopped allowing it. (Not sure Backpage is still even a thing...there are probably apps and other things they use these days.)

I just looked on Reddit and I'm sorry I did. The Long Island posts made me blush!

 

[crhedBngr]

As much as I respect the privacy of his family and those who knew him, I am morbidly curious as to what she has to say. I’m more curious about her insight over anyone else’s, even his current wife for some reason.

I suspect we'll find out eventually.

Someone will talk.

JMVHO.

"RH says that either he or his wife drove to Virginia to deal with RH's mother "at least a half a dozen" times between February 2017 and April 2018. RH says that he has "been down there [Virginia] without [his] wife" at least two or three times during that time period. He also visited Florida."

Why did he go to Florida? He says that right after talking about his mother, so maybe mom had a second home in Florida?

I saw somewhere they had traveled to cocoa beach

I have never heard the term Bluebeards but thanks for giving me something to research

Bluebeard, a French story Bluebeard - Wikipedia
My favourite is the British version, Mr Fox, which could be the life story of many members of WS, I think! “Be bold, be bold, but not too bold; lest your heart’s blood run cold.” English Fairy and Other Folk Tales: Nursery Tales: Mr Fox
In both, the protagonist’s curiosity saves her.

If RH could afford an office in Manhattan, he could afford a trip to Iceland for his wife and kids. It gave him the opportunity to act out his demon fantasies.

Or, maybe her family actually paid the cost for her and the kids to return because they missed them.
