I'm really not sure that their directional posing was anything more than someone carrying them over his shoulder and dropping them, possibly head first.
There may have been other evidence of ritualistic or otherwise significant trussing or tie marks but I can't buy into the direction as significant..
it's speculation, is it not?
It was reported that way at the time the victim's were discovered so I don't think it was just speculation.

If you Google: Eastbound Strangler, you can find information about the case, especially related to the faces, facing East.

I believe it fine.
I am doubting the placements had any deeper meaning than convenience for the killer based upon no more than the method he used to carry and drop their bodies.
 
Live press link up to outside courthouse. No cameras are allowed in the courtroom in NY.


Didn't get a whole lot of this but at least he shut the reporters and their repetitive questions down fairly well. That always bothered me when they did that. I mean I understand why but it's so rude. Like just take the answer, please.
 
I thought he could have made them kneel in the ditch and kill there. However, much as it was behind a decrepit hotel on the side of the city, I think it would be too unsafe to kill them on the spot. You are probably right in that it could have been some form of bondage that resulted in them being in the similar position. Absence of footwear and socks might indicate it too. I have read about AC victims today and noticed a couple of interesting things about them.

It would be important to know if these victims advertised similar type of services, and if yes, where. They might have caught his attention for that reason. They don’t even look similar, so I wonder if the choice was specifically based on the services rendered.
It is easy to find a SW very easily in AC without having to search for them online. No doubt there were listings available online, but you'd only have to drive a couple of blocks from the boardwalk to find them. Or go to bar in the area, or just walking along the boardwalk, but that's unlikely with regular patrols there.
 
MOD NOTE:

General fundraising discussion is not allowed. The ONLY part of a fundraiser account that is allowed for discussion is if there are previously unknown specifics/facts contained in the introduction (NOT COMMENTS) that relate directly to the case.

Speculation about why family members set up the account, the funds raised or what those funds may or may not be used for are off limits. Discuss the case, not the peripheral issues of fundraising. (And remember the wife is a victim per TOS and can't be sleuthed)
 
Welcome to Websleuths @Podstan, thank you for your question!

I don't have the answer but wanted to respond that you make a very good point that I hadn't thought about. Hopefully someone with a better understanding of community property / equitable distribution in marriage / divorce in NY State & U.S. can clarify.
Maybe that's why the 🤬🤬🤬 is being paid to the attorney and not her, so Rex can't get ahold of it?
 
But there was a problem: The homicide detectives chasing the lead were bordering on mutiny.

Prosecutors believed the detectives refused to follow orders and clashed with federal partners, multiple high-level law enforcement officials familiar with the case said. Detectives, meanwhile, felt that the district attorney at the time, Tim Sini, was forcing them to investigate leads they had already ruled out while ratcheting up pressure to solve the case before his 2021 reelection bid. The tension grew so high that, at Sini’s urging, the case’s longtime lead detective was removed.

I am gifting this article, it's important enough.

 
This Washington Post article is so frustrating! They could have solved this case years ago!

 

Rex Heuermann, the architect accused of murdering at least three women and leaving their bodies along a remote stretch of coastline near Long Island´s Gilgo Beach, appeared in court today for the first time since his arraignment.


Heuermann was disheveled and appeared as though he had lost weight as he stood before the judge in Riverhead, Long Island.

The courtroom was packed with media and the families of some of the women he is accused of killing.

He was dressed smartly in a black blazer, blue shirt and cream khakis, and looked down at his hands for most of the hearing.

The judge banned the release of four, two terabyte hard-drives of evidence which have been handed to attorneys and investigators, but which will not become public.

Heuermann will return to court in September.
 
So they have gathered 8GB of evidence (I read 8TB elsewhere, presumably those are two very different figures?).

Is that a lot of evidence by usual SK standards, or equivalent high profile/serious crime cases? I realise no two cases are the same....

I just don't understand how even with the little evidence we have seen that is so compelling what possible case his lawyer would have to prove his innocence at this stage?

Is it possible there as an accomplice who was with him during all those calls / tower pings that tallied between the burner/victim phones and RH's mobile?

UK Independent: Rex Heuermann appears in court as prosecutors turn over ‘8 gigabytes’ of evidence

"Mr Heuermann joined his attorneys and the Suffolk County district attorney for a conference at the Suffolk County Court regarding the schedule for handling the massive amounts of discovery.

“This is a 13-year case, so as you saw we have a great deal of information, evidence photographs, reports to provide to the defence counsel,” district attorney Ray Tierney told reporters.

Authorities revealed that a “massive amount” of evidence had been recovered from Mr Heuermann’s home in Massapequa"
