This article, for comparison, mentions 2 x 4TB drives (doesn't mean they are full, could be just the size), vs 8GB mentioned earlier by others.

Gilgo beach killer suspect Rex Heuermann makes second court appearance as lawyer insists he's innocent​

Speaking outside the court afterwards, his attorney, Michael Brown, sparred with the media and insisted on his innocence.

'He told me he didn't do this,' he said, before bemoaning the size of the evidence file and how long it will take to go through it.

'The DA has a whole office... I'm just one guy.

'Just to pore through the discovery is an enormous task but we're going to do it, we're prepared to do it.

'Whether it's one year or a year and a half, whenever that day comes we're looking forward to defending this case,' he said, adding that he would try to have the trial moved out of Suffolk County.

'This case is one we are going to try in the courtroom.

The press has convicted my client without a shred of evidence, he doesn't stand a chance,' he said.

Why would they have buccal swab under motions?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

It's like a large rubbish container, people use them when moving home or doing a mega clear out etc

I've never heard of anyone using them for moving home.

You just throw rubbish in them.
Yes the big clean out.
You hire them for a day or two, or a week and the company comes and takes them away.

Interesting. Did we ever get a definite answer about when they would be allowed to enter his dna into codis?

Has the DA presented a motion to the court to allow a buccal swab for a better, more controlled DNA test of Heuermann?

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.

Thank you. Very interesting, and so frustrating.

I believe it was discussed that his DNA will be entered only if he's convicted. However, a work around is that if other LE in various locations have DNA from some of their cases they want to check against Heuermann's they can contact Suffolk County LE for a comparison. As I understood the discussion.

Read that they couldn't enter it to link to other unsolved cases until/unless he's convicted of these ones.
But I can't remember where I read it to link so will say MOO

He actually looks like he’s lost some weight in the couple of weeks he’s been behind bars. Stress will do that to ya!

I agree he looks thinner. But sometimes, all it takes is a casual suit jacket and striped shirt.

Also, if he is a drinker........... the sudden drop in liquor, takes off pounds immediately.
Have no idea if this is the case, but I have seen sudden weight loss in some good friends who decided to go cold turkey on the cocktails!!!

Hoping his appearance in court today stimulates the memory of past interactions with SW's, other women he may have approached, or other potential witnesses who may have valuable information about him to share with LE.

It had earlier been reported that his attorney might ask if RH could skip the hearing today but that the judge would likely not allow it. I wonder if his attorney wanted him to skip the hearing to avoid recognition by others who might come forward with information. (BBM below.)

According to a court calendar, Heuermann is scheduled to appear before Judge Timothy Mazzei for an 8 a.m. status conference in Suffolk County Court in Riverhead, N.Y.

But the hearing likely won't take place until 2 p.m., court officials told The Messenger.

Defense attorney Michael J. Brown may ask that Heuermann, who's being held without bail, be allowed to skip the hearing, a court source said.

But that request isn't likely to be granted, the source added.

Brown could also seek to have bail set for Heuermann but officials haven't gotten any indication that will happen, the source said.

Suspected Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann gives off icy stare in court, as prosecutors hand over ‘massive amount’ of evidence

Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann made his second court appearance Tuesday, looking annoyed and stone-faced as prosecutors dumped a “massive amount” of evidence on his lap.

nypost.com

next court date 9/27

 

[hazel324]

I've been thinking about just how many SWs RH will have had interactions with over the years...from replying to an ad, talking with, meeting, engaging in business etc.

2 things - there will be those who have talked with LE about the encounters either voluntarily or those who've been found via surveillance, analysing phone records etc. They will have been told not to talk about it to media for obvious reasons if they have incriminating info

I'm wondering how many women have come forward and talked to media about encounters with him (I've seen report of just one woman)

Does anyone know about media interviews conducted ?

The illegality of the business and that it is often hidden from family will be huge factors as to why dozens of "I dated RH" stories haven't emerged imo

I imagine not everything that they took from the house, or maybe damaged and/or destroyed at the house while searching was his.

Apart from the damage to bath and floor etc.

There would most likely be things that belonged to his wife and son and daughter's that either been taken away or damaged.

I wonder if her devices were looked at too, and/or taken away.

Imagine going back there and finding the mattresses gone

. I bet you haven't even thought that they might have the wrong guy."

The thought has crossed my mind.

 

[Barbie619]

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"

ETA: source title

One terabyte is equal to 1,000 gigabytes. For example using the internet for 12 hours on your phone streaming music and then watching 2 hours of a standard definition movie uses 1 gigabyte of data.

Based on what Tierney said during his presser, 2,500 documents and hundreds of hours of video tells me it is probably 8 terabytes of data and not 8 gigabytes.
