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

[K.jill]

I'm thinking about creating a story map version of the timeline of events in RH's life -- Would anyone here find this helpful? I'm a visual learner myself so sometimes having things laid out chronologically on a map helps me make sense of things.

I think it would be an amazing tool. I am grateful for the last list you made and have referred to it several times already.

I agree with @K.jill, you have been above and beyond helpful. Thank you so much for the time and dedication you have and continue to put into making timelines and informative posts, they are fantastic!!! <3

Funny you should say that because my gut feeling from the start was that he killed his victims in his car. I'm not sure why I had that gut feeling, and it sure wasn't based on anything solid, it was always just how I saw it in my mind. You know what I mean, I'm sure. But anyway, I still have nothing to base that gut feeling and I have no clue where he killed these poor women, but if you think about it, killing them in the car does make sense given the isolated area of where the victims were found. Pull off Ocean Parkway or around the Jones Beach area ( didn't RH work at Jones Beach Park at one point ?) , and who would be the wiser. No nosy neighbors to see, no one to hear, not far to drive to a dumpsite, etc. etc.

Just random thoughts prompted by insomnia, I guess.

ETA: Wanted to briefly mention how much I have valued your input on this case over the many LONG LONG years, Fredna. I could say the same of so many members who have tirelessly research this case for years, but tonight I'm singling you out. So thar !

If the passenger was leaning over towards his lap, then it would have been easy for him to strangle her.

Man's view Prison officer (PO) -
if a prisoner clobbers a PO - a PO once told me they'll take out 3 crims.
Retribution.

Maybe (if insulted) RH did the same with sex workers

I'm sorry. I'm not understanding this. Are some of the words abbreviated? Perhaps I'm just unfamiliar with verbiage? Could someone help me out, please?

I have always said, a car can easily become a cage...anyone who has been trapped with someone in a car, a person who becomes dangerous will attest to this. mOO

As I understand it, the OP is saying: (his, a man's opinion)- if a criminal attacks a prison officer, they fight back 3x as hard and "punish" 3 inmates- possibly the LISK was cheated by one SW so took out 3 or 4 SWs in retribution. (as I understand it)

He's a sexual sadist who enjoys harming others. He does not care what you say to him or what you think of him, if
he can get you to answer his calls, go on dates, get you alone without your phone or a way to get away. You are dead..it's all a game and once he has you in the ideal position he's going to torture you and kill you and laugh at your dead body. mOO

In unusual move, Long Island district attorney to lead Gilgo Beach prosecution

The case against accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann will be prosecuted by Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, his office confirmed. The announcement that Tierney would be the lead prosecutor in the Long Island murder case came as a surprise — it’s reportedly the first time...

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found it helpful! I am working on the story map right now

I think they have to go through a lot of hoops..they have all her calls..but if they can see all the phones pinging in that area at thatI time .....but again I think it's not done without higher approval like a special warrant and probable cause??? just guessing but I think I heard this somewhere before as I have had this question many times, it's at an odd hour..it would be easier to catch an errant phone out there.....mOO

They may have checked for pings back when Shannon disappeared. They weren't looking for a serial killer when she went missing. Shannon's mother Mari Gilbert did have access to Shannon's phone records but not a map of locations. JMO

ETA: I wanted to add that I'm talking about SCPD pinging her phone while she was missing.

I’m fairly certain that Khalil mis-remembered this. Every other article, statement, regarding the non-gb4 victims has indicated plastic not burlap. That and his statement that is referenced was made after they released the gb4 information. While I hope all of the victims are related to RH, I still don’t think they are. We are, however, much closer to finding out.

There was never a release of information prior to the July 13th arrest. I remember that a news reporter from CourtTV mentioned the burlap, but then never heard about it again until I was reading here on WS. The Killing Season was aired in 2016 when Khalil was interviewed by Josh.

At the time the gb4 were found, burlap was mentioned. They knew about the burlap when filming the killing season. Plastic was mentioned for the dismembered victims. It was theorized the Khalil when asked for the killing season misremembered what the cops said of the way Jessica was found , mixing it with how the gb4 were found.

He looks like a rock em sock em robot..he is massive and what we would call a pail head. mOO

Lol! I’ll never look at ‘em the same
The visual I needed!

 

[Cora]

I thought about his profession and how it probably was an advantage to him because he new so much about the city and yes about where cameras where placed. So scary!

He also had access to abandoned buildings, vehicles, cement, etc..

You're right in that it is not out of the realm of possibility that they crossed paths, but that's not what I said. He is not the Robert Meyer that is discussed in the video. The missing husband and father is Robert Mayer. Mayer is pronounced MAY-uhr. The interviewer is clearly saying MY-er.

I get that but he could have been pronouncing it wrong. That he even remembered this person’s name 25-30 years later is astonishing in itself, but understandable if it was actually Mayer and he got that part wrong.

I found this to be interesting as well. If I am interpreting it correctly, does this potentially mean that his DNA could already be in the database if the below (BBM) is applicable?

The Databank also contains forensic DNA profiles that are developed from the analysis of crime scene evidence. The Office of Forensic Services oversees a comprehensive confirmation process that reviews DNA matches linking offenders’ profiles in the Databank to forensic profiles. After match confirmation and offender verification, the office notifies the appropriate agency of the linked offender’s identity. That agency then determines the value of the match, also known as a hit or investigative lead.

I imagine we will see many more cases being solved sooner. They didn’t even put much effort into this murderer until what? 18 months ago? and case closed! This has been a huge team effort to make people pay attention forcing material actions to find this evidence To arrest the heurermann.

Yes the burlap was mentioned as I said in my original comment by Jane Velez Mitchell on CourtTV, then I never heard about it again. If it was mentioned on The Killing Season I didn't hear it, but I imagine that it could have happened, but never was it mentioned that it was camo burlap.

They didn't even have enough information to start on this process until 18 months ago. The prime suspect certainly was NOTHING like what they were expecting.
