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

They knocked.

Hmm, I can't find anything to back this up. It seems a detective was fired (due to multiple incidents) and Raleigh settled the lawsuit(s), and changed their no-knock policy (while refusing to answer questions about it).

Families Traumatized In RPD Raid Settle With City for $350K - INDY Week

"Justice was finally served," says Yolanda Irving, one of the two Black women whose homes were raided by the Raleigh Police Department — on bad information and with the use of a no-knock warrant.

"Three months after the lawsuit was filed, the RPD adopted an official policy banning the use of no-knock warrants."

Sorry for the off-topicness, it just caught my attention.

What you really need is street view on lower level approach on Queen Boulevard … so ugly there is probably no photos!!

Let me rephrase because my original response was important in order to gain proper perspective of how that area differs between then and now. Apparently it was considered political, although it wasn't meant to be. If you look at the street view now, then yes--you wouldn't want to be down there at night. There are now homeless people living in the bridge area, drugs and crime, etc. Whereas, at the time all this was taking place between the 90's and 2010 when Shannon went missing, it was not like that. It was a beautiful area where people met and congregated. Somewhere you would want to be. NOT like it is now

Oh, my. A false arrest would seem plausible.

But the bridge could be worth the trip as it is expensive to take toll routes. When there is little traffic, that and bridges like Willis Ave are worth the trip. It's not a significant detour.

MOO

I am leaning toward a "good Samaritan" which turns into false arrest as how it went down. Whether by Rex, or someone else...

Outright kidnapping would probably cause too much attention.

All MOO

Discussing the GFME - 100% of the funds go to the family. Wife has cancer and she is undergoing treatment. The insurance she was under her husbands name and that is going to expire due to his incarceration. Attorney is releasing photos of the home and is explaining more about the "vault" and the doll.

It’s utterly fascinating to me how native New Yorkers have totally different experiences with the same places.

 

[bestill]

Oh my gosh, so much more to the interview. I got interrupted with a phone call and they were talking too fast for me to keep up!

 

[Ursamajr]

Watching the press conference with the attorneys for Heuermann’s family.

I have many thoughts. Many. None of which I think I can voice.

Interesting how (who I think is) Vess Mitev caught himself and changed his wording regarding victims.

This type of Presser would never happen in Australia.

It would happen behind the scenes between lawyer and client.

I found it distasteful.

Did I read that right, AE has cancer? How awful. Especially awful for the adult children. I feel so bad for this family.

I'm not watching the press conference but daily mail is reporting that, yes. Poor poor woman.

Her health insurance is through RH and will end when she divorces him

Macedonia said hair found at the crime scene was of Asa's likeness, but DNA has not been proven to be hers.

I'd be interested to see "before" photos of the interior of the home, taken the 1st day LE entered for the search warrant. With their attorney stating it was left "deplorable", things stacked floor to ceiling with just a small pathway to move, I mean, LE didn't bring things in, so they could have only moved around what was already there, no?

The contrary... They took truck after truck of stuff AWAY. And did not return most of it, as it is undergoing processing by evidence technicians. Yes, they moved everything about, but they didn't add anything, all that stuff was already there.

I mean, it's going to be difficult to find anything, like having movers who just put all the boxes wherever, and two weeks later, you still can't find the box with the cutlery in it, but it's not like they put a whole other household's worth of stuff in on top of what was already there and churned it. (I've dealt with that, and it is not fun.)

It's a mess to sort out, but it is what it is.

MOO

 

[JennyJukes]

Knowing that his wife has been going through cancer treatment for years, yet he was still using burner phones and allegedly "engaging in disturbing online behaviour" just recently.... wow. MOO.

 

[Just K]

So far, the before pictures from inside the house have not been published.

That is just awful. Perhaps part of her divorce settlement, assuming he has any money, could be to cover her medical insurance for a certain amount of time.

 

[Gardenista]

If the house was not a mess before the search, I gotta say it is BS that LE is allowed to leave a house that way.
