Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 3 murders, July 2023 #7

[Ann99]

If todays presser identifies Peaches ( and her baby) as a victim of RH, that is huge.
Peaches was killed so long ago, 1997. Approx June 27, 1997.

Is The FBI Close to IDing Peaches, Baby Doe in Gilgo Case?

Investigators appear to be one step closer to identifying a woman and her young child whose murders have been unsolved for 25 years and were linked to the gruesome Gilgo Beach murders.

Gives a genealogy that explains the relationships but is hard to follow.

Gilgo Beach: Police identify another victim in serial killing investigation, sources say

Authorities have identified another victim in the Gilgo Beach, New York, murders investigation, sources familiar with the case told ABC News, though it is not clear if this new victim is linked to suspect Rex Heuermann. Suffolk County officials are expected to identify Jane Doe No. 7, whose...

Meanwhile, Suffolk County prosecutors are asking a judge to order Heuermann to submit a DNA sample as they work to determine whether he is connected to other Gilgo Beach killings or other murders across the country. The mitochondrial DNA and the discarded pizza box sample used to tie him to the three murders he's charged with are ineligible to be submitted to databases circulated to law enforcement agencies nationally and statewide.

Gilgo Beach investigators have identified the victim known as “Jane Doe No. 7,” whose partial remains were first found on Fire Island in 1996, another critical step forward in the investigation following the arrest last month of suspected serial killer Rex A. Heuermann, a source told Newsday.


Investigators have not linked Heuermann to the newly identified victim’s killing, the source said.

Vergata, who lived on West 45th Street in Manhattan and was last seen Feb. 14, 1996, worked as an escort, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said.

Another victims name returned to them. Absolutely fantastic news and long over due. I think IDs for Peaches and Baby Doe are right around the corner as well.

RH seems like a hoarder. IIRC, Peaches was wrapped in a bath towel and floral print pillow case. Perhaps he still has some of these linens. Or maybe they're visible in some old family photos.

If RH is responsible for Fire Island Jane Doe, we know he's been active since at least 1996. There are large gaps of time inbetween some of the victims. I'm fearful there are more we don't know about.

In your link RH's attorney says:

"The press has convicted my client without seeing a shred of evidence,” Michael Brown told reporters after the hearing, suggesting that prosecutors "very well could have the wrong guy."

Guess Brown doesn't know was a Bail Document is....

Just another defense attorney twisting things to make his client appear to be wrongly accused, even though he claims he doesn't want his client tried in the media. Kohberger's attorney is doing the exact same thing.

“I think we’re getting closer with regard to all of those profiles,” said Tierney, who confirmed that the identifications would be made by the FBI using genetic genealogy, “among other things." The FBI used genetic genealogy to positively identify another of the 10 victims tied to Gilgo Beach: Valerie Mack, in 2020.

The killing was not part of the indictment of alleged serial killer Rex A. Heuermann, though prosecutors have named him as the "prime suspect" in her slaying.

The identifications being made possible by genetic genealogy "among other things" makes me believe that perhaps evidence was found with the bodies that, when put together with other information, led them to IDs.

Probably setting up a defense related to RH’s mental health...it was a different personality in his head that killed all those women.

I'm feeling the most complicated, heightened anxiety but also excitement. I almost feel sick with it. Peaches and her daughter, Fire Island Doe, Asian Doe... they've been waiting so long. Is it one of them, or is it someone else? Is it someone we don't know about? Whose name are we going to hear for the first time?

MOO

They all deserve justice! I'm here for the truth to be revealed!

In less than an hour, Fire Island Jane Doe will have her name back after 27 years. She is believed to have died in 1996.

RH is not what I had expected the accused GB4 killer to look like, that's for sure. I definitely pictured someone shorter, in better shape, and sleazier looking. In fact I had a POI who was looking very good for it and even admitted to hanging out with and possibly having sex with one of the 4 girls. Long story but of course it was not him.

The GreenRiver Killer (Gary Ridgeway) ended up being this mousey nerdy weak little man. He took advantage of vulnerable SWs. RH looks angry, intimidating, and HUGE. I would not want to be alone with him.
RH looks more the type to me.
The other suspect you had in mind might be up to his own crimes that'll end up in the news later. Isn't there the possibility of TWO SK's?

Is it confirmed that the presser is to announce who Jane Doe is? And others? Sorry, I'm reading different reports and trying to figure out what's a given or most likely.

Is there any other reason why there would be an update to the public so soon already? Is this about public interest/safety or about management of information that is in the public domain, ie PR/damage control? I'm not very well versed in this stuff from a LE point of view.

I sit here this morning with high hopes for today's presser. I hope that it brings us:

- Charges for th murder of Maureen; and
- The identifications of our young Asian Doe, "Peaches", and Peaches' Daughter.

This would be great for the case, the victims and their families and for the LI community. Fingers crossed!

This is not available to read in the UK sadly. Would you mind sharing a brief synopsis? If you have a minute. Thanks!

I'm okay with defense attorneys doing their job.

Whoa. I have never heard of this girl, and she went missing YEARS before Peaches or Fire Island Doe. They are really digging back down. She's taller than a few of the girls, but still shorter than Megan and Asian Doe, and only 110lbs.

MOO

Could someone copy any key parts of the article? Restricted in Europe! Do we think this is our Doe?

Investigators with the Gilgo Beach Homicide Investigation Task Force added the profile of Judith Ramona Veloz, a Bronx teen who vanished from Manhattan in 1993, to a national missing persons databaselast October.

The move is noteworthy because it came seven months after the task force had identified architect Rex Heuermann as a prime person of interest in the Gilgo Beach serial killer case.
