He drives to Maryland, Virginia, Florida and Las Vegas. This is very interesting

Excellent. Thanks.

He flew to Vegas, but yes, said he drove to the others. Sometimes solo trips, sometimes with the wife and/or the family.

In regards to @citizen_sleuth post, this part sticks out to me:

Not related to a specific incident, but when asked what activities he had to stop doing as a result of the accident, RH responds "I really don't do much. All I do is work and deal with family." (pgs. 120 of the EBT in Heuermann v O'Sullivan

It’s the “deal with family” that irks me. He doesn’t say he takes care of them, or spends time with them, but rather deals with them. He is so emotionally detached, even from his own family, IMO

anyone know what part of VA?

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'm 99% positive there are subreddits that are used for this nowadays.

Finally, something! I have followed this case since the Websleuths Documentary on Netflix, checking back from time to time to see if anyone is captured.

My hope is they can connect this guy to all of them in the near future!

Fluvanna County, I think.

"A former coworker told The Post that suspected serial murderer Rex Heuermann, 59, once took time off from his job as a Manhattan architect to install a concrete-lined vault at his family’s Long Island house.

It’s not clear if that basement compartment is the one cops suspect could have been a killing chamber or whether it is possibly the space previously reported to hold Heuermann’s up to 300 guns.

But 'it’s not just a hidden room — it’s a serious vault,' the ex-colleague said.

'It had a huge heavy-duty safe door. He went and poured new concrete walls, massive amount of concrete to encase this room.'

'It was maybe 2 or 3 feet thick,'
the former coworker said."

Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann may have killed victim in soundproof room; cops using cadaver dogs to search yard

Cops have reportedly found a soundproof room in the basement of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann’s home where they believe at least one woman may have been killed.

nypost.com

Did this former co-worker see the room, or is he just repeating what RH said about it? I wouldn't put it past RH to brag about this to a co-worker, and the interior designer who said she'd been in his house called it a locked room, not a room with a huge heavy-duty safe door.

Rex Heuermann refused to let interior designer measure locked room

Interior designer Katherine Shepherd told DailyMail.com how Rex Heuermann did not allow her to enter a room in his basement at his Massapequa Park in 2005.

Likely Palmyra, which is in Fluvanna County. Very small and rural.

This is the first article that popped up when I googled it. The article quotes the county police commissioner.

‘Blindsided’ wife of Long Island serial killer suspect files for divorce

Asa Ellerup, 59, has been married to Rex Heuermann for 27 years, but police say she was out of state at time killings occurred

www.theguardian.com

thank you I must be a crappy googler lol

The police chief himself said she reacted with shock and embarrassment.

yes but saying that indicates more acceptance
it's obvious she would be shocked and embarrassed
I was looking for confirmation that she said the other which I have now thanks to INTHEDETAILS

I wonder if the vault is nothing more than a gun vault. It's confirmed that he had 200 fire arms. I would assume that some had value and would be locked away.

MOO MOO

I've been puzzled as to why he had SO MANY GUNS, especially long-barreled ones. Based on the size of the gun vault (12' x 15") wondering if the guns were a cover. Having so many guns gave him an excuse to build the vault in the first place. The guns were a means to an ends, allowing him his "sound-proof room" that no one else in the family had reason to go into.

 

[Cali_mom]

Folks....if you were bringing a potential murder victim into your home, would you put her into the room where your guns and ammo were??

She might know how to load and shoot!

If a victim was in that room, then she would have been, I suspect, already deceased, and put there for temporary storage. Just a guess....

MOO MOO

If his family was out of town for several weeks he could have emptied out the vault temporarily.

Thank you, @Oakie for the interesting historic info about sex workers in London in the 19th century.

As for RH, I am still thinking if he was some degree of a prepper or a hoarder. The guns, the vault and the reporterd overflow of, well, stuff around the house, coupled with the poor state of the house. Just makes me wonder. Not that I think there is any insanity plea or anything like that, but just trying to understand what he was like in his life.

nope, can't see Rex exerting himself like that. Too much work.
Now, the ammo MIGHT have been kept somewhere else.

"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?

Are the dates coinciding with missing women?

I want to know everywhere he went and who went missing while he was there.

Pretty sure LE have this because there will be receipts/records etc

My brother-in-law’s brother is a cop who is patrolling the perimeter of the house (I’m guessing to make sure the crowd that forms there is a respectable distance away since it is a crime scene). My sister told me that he said the guy is definitely a hoarder. The house was packed with stuff.

I have a theory here. Heuermann has some of the tell tale signs of being a prepper. I was not shocked when a neighbor in SC used the word in interviews.

Signs of a prepper: stock piling guns, ammo, armor, hoarding food, distrust in govt in regards to guns, collecting military vehicles, acquiring multiple plots of land to be used as a compound, building safe rooms/vaults. Though not at all indicative of anything on it's own (and please for the sake of open discussion, this is not a political attack, it is fact) preppers hold conservative views as core values. Some states have public voting records.

That said, besides hoarding food, armor, and ammo, RH checks the boxes. He may or may not have those things in Massapequa. No confirmed word on that so there is no use in assuming he does. We also know nothing about what he has stored on his other properties.

Prepper is not a derogatory word. Preppers use it to describe themselves and their "preparedness".

"He also testified that he traveled to Cocoa Beach Florida in January 2017."

Okay, I'm going to look there...
