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

I think at minimum he might have hired off-the-books dayworkers, if not some rental equipment too.

So many details to keep track of. I hope the investigative team has expert database people (I'm sure they do) to organize all this.

Very likely off-the-books dayworkers, IMO. Very easy to find here on Long Island. Just drive up to any Home Depot or Lowe's any given morning, and you can pick them up in the parking lot.

If he "don't know nothing", then he must know something...

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.

MOO

yeah no it means marijuana plants here in Canada (and I think U.S. too) lol
and we say potted plants

who?

 

[citizen_sleuth]

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

If indeed it is a concrete-encased room with a vault door rather than a freestanding safe, yes, a permit is requires per AJ301.5 of the New York State Residential Building Code (pg 854):

Level 2 alterations include the reconfiguration of space, the addition or elimination of any door or window, the reconfiguration or extension of any system, or the installation of any additional equipment. Level 2 alterations shall comply with the provisions of Section AJ501 for Level 1 alterations as well as the provisions of Section AJ601 [NOTE: Section AJ601 requires obtaining a permit].

I found no record of RH obtaining permits for any work done in the basement, so I'm pretty sure it was done off-the-books. I did find a sketch of the property on the Nassau County Land Records Viewer which shows the dimensions of the house:

I am also attaching a copy of the Property Card from 1/12/2006 which includes detailed information about the house such as materials and structural elements

pot plants? what? how did I miss that I've been reading every post

Potted I believe is the term

If his wife and family did travel every year to Iceland, I would think he continued his hunting. I searched Namus and there were 2 on there that caught my eye. Corinna Slusser being one of them. She's 19 and blonde last seen with her pimp. She's less petite than the known victims however and reported missing late September. There was one other, Shelly Ann Hart. 24 and only 5 foot 125 lbs. Last seen 8/5/05 in Brooklyn. Very little is known about her.

If he did have other victims, could it be that they weren't necessarily sex workers? The reason I ask that is the story from the young lady that was walking/jogging in the park when he popped out of the bushes. Pure speculation of course. Just makes you think

 

[TootsieFootsie]

who?

I tried to quote the post but failed. It was when he was arrested he said he "don't know nothing"

 

[Justice101]

Hope the police/FBI find the evidence they are looking for

 

[303gmf]

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.

Example of why the botanical name cannabis is preferred to lessen confusion

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

Full disclosure: I am not a homeowner, but most townships have a myriad of rules and regulations and from what I hear from friends and relatives, technically you need a permit to practically breathe, especially in Long Island communities (a friend recently told me that she was told by a realtor that within a certain town here you “technically” need a permit for a tile backsplash which is ridiculous) BUT I think a vast majority of people bypass these rules, especially on inside/indoor projects. I believe it could become an issue down the road if you ever put the house up for sale.

If anyone, especially from LI can chime in on this, I’d greatly appreciate it, because like I said, this is what I’ve heard from other people, not my personal experience.

We had to get a permit when we had a new hot water heater/tank installed in our house.

 

[Kikalina]

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.

Ugh now I keep thinking about the doll and wondering if the dolls hair was actually a victims

I’ve missed several pages but did screenshot this image from this Bronx news video. Is it a tree truck, log? Dismiss this if it has already been discussed. I’ll catch up eventually.

That looks to me like the fuel storage tank for fuel oil for an oil-fed heater (I used to have one of those in Maryland). They may have excavated it from his yard.

However, it could be an old well or cistern casing, in which case....it might contain anything.

Now, I’ve got concrete on my mind:
she was found encased in concrete in Manhattan

Identified! - NY - Manhattan, 'Midtown Jane Doe', WhtFem 16-21, 337UFNY, under concrete, ring w/ 'P McG', Feb'03 Patricia McGlone

Here is a link. They suggest Joel Rifkin, serial killer is being considered but not his MO. Wonder who was this poor lady... http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/14038.htm

*I guess I missed it, the thread moves so quickly, but the Bounty paper towels surprised me.

The warrant shows a long list of items under “property sought,” many of which are listed as “trophies,” the newspaper reported.

That list includes phones, articles of clothing, jewelry, identification, notebooks, ledgers, Bibles, personal effects and/or photographs or recordings depicting the victims, according to the paper.

Other “trophy” items were separately listed, according to the paper, including condoms, black leather belts, knives, scissors, devices used to stamp letters on leather goods, and “Bounty paper towels specifically from the Bounty Modern Print Collection.”

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/23/us/gilgo-beach-serial-killings-investigation/index.html

In addition to the line of a brand of paper towels, I found the leather-stamping equipment oddly specific. Were bodies stamped or something?

MOO

Excellent find. I note one bathroom, at least originally. Wonder if anything was later installed in the basement? Was the laundry room down there, with a sink?

The belt had a monogram, was that stamped or was it painted on?

The belt found with one of the victims had initials stamped onto it. That's my guess for the leather-stamping. I hope that's all there is to it.

Considering the age of the house and my limited knowledge of my grandfather building houses in Nassau, a lot of original houses had the laundry room and a “slop sink” in the basement
