Just finished the new book Trailed today, about the Williams/Winans murder in Shenandoah. However, the book also spends a great deal of time talking about the Route 29 Stalker. I'd recommend it to anyone here, the author goes into a good bit of detail about this case particularly. On the topic...

I think she’s convinced he’s innocent. Her family has 4 attorneys (including Rex’s team) telling them that Rex will be acquitted, so she’s probably confident. It’s either that or bluster.

JMO, she’s going to back him all the way, regardless of all the evidence.

It's interesting to me that Macedonia is already claiming that AE will be attending his trial when the trial won't be taking place for how long? She visits him in jail, has a streaming crew visit her home (for a documentary???), and then her lawyer claims she plans to attend his trial "just to see for herself" - all in the span of a few days.

<modsnip: not victim friendly> The only way it would make sense to me is if all proceeds of any documentaries or books get to go to the families of the people who were murdered.

MOO.

Question for the legal scholars here, if the wife of the alleged killer was to be a called witness (for either side), doesn’t that tend to preclude their being in the courtroom during testimony or the trial? (As that presence and hearing evidence could color or affect or influence their testimony, etc?)

If so, the hope is that she will be called - and appear on either the prosecution or defense lists (or both).
MOO.

Omg seriously looks identical. Was there a height on the Route 29 Stalker?

MOO As far as the sketches go, only one sketch, shown in the article , is being used by LE as the killer of vicitm Reynolds.
I think that LE is pretty sure she was the victim of a different SK, not RH.
Here is the suspect description:

" talking to a man with a dark pickup truck parked behind her on the side of the road, possibly a blue or green Nissan. They said he was between 5’10”-6’0”, between 35-45 years old, with a medium build and light to medium brown hair."

I'd like to know if it's considered normal behaviour for family members of men charged w/serial killing to want to be in the courtroom hearing/seeing all the evidence and gory details?

Most SK's plead guilty so there isn't anyone hearing/seeing all the evidence. Sentencing hearings could cause a lot of evidence to be discussed, but not seen or described in gory detail, just what is needed to determine factors for sentencing.

I don't think there is any way to ever say whether or not a family member's court attendance is "normal behavior". The same goes for the familys', also considered victims, reactions, or coping behavior after the arrest and during any court proceeding.

Thank you. All people are different and handle events differently, yes, I know. Instead of normal behaviour, I mean more "the norm", as in have other SK's family members attended the trials. I didn't realize most SK's plead guilty? One would need a very thick skin to sit through something like that, imo.

FWIW, I think I probably would want to know the gory details. I have no idea if that would be psychologically wise for me, but I'd probably dive in.

I think it is a little soon for Asa to be planning that out anyway. The trial isn't even being scheduled.

I have never heard that SK usually plead guilty. They often have a lot of hubris; Id reserve taking that as a fact until I saw a citation.

MOO

Depends on the person, like in most things. Bundy didn't, Ridgway did. Little did, Dahmer did. Kemper pled NGRI, as did Gacy, Nilsen, and Sutcliffe. (Nilsen and Sutcliffe it was guilty but with 'diminished responsibillity', but in the essentials, it's not very different to NGRI.) Berkowitz did. Deangelo did. Rader did. Ramirez didn't, though he played the crazy/satanist angle to the hilt, terrifying the jury, especially when one of them died in an unrelated partner-violence homicide. Wuornos claimed self defense at times, and put in pleas of no contest for some of her victims. Bianchi tried the NGRI route, but got caught faking and changed his plea to guilty and testified against Buono, who didn't. I could keep digging, but so far, pleas admitting some form of responsibility, whether sane or claiming insanity, seem to be in excess of those who go the not guilty route.

MOO

I honestly cannot speculate what I would do if in that position. Part of me firmly believes that I would rid myself of my partner immediately and move/change my name. Separate myself completely from the monster (yes, I have no doubt RH is guilty IMO) and try and rebuild a new life.

The other side of me thinks that I would have to know how it happened right under my very nose, (at my home) and I had no clue, how I could have missed any signs. etc?

What I do know for sure is that I would NOT be giving interviews or speaking with the press, TV shows, or book writers. I'm not saying or judging A for doing this, if she is, I just know I personally couldn't. The crimes RH is accused of are so ugly and depraved against women, I wouldn't want to give voice to them.

All MOO

Maybe, but that sketch surely looks similar to RH to me, eerily so. The height could be an easy underestimation. People keep claiming RA from Delphi is 5 4", when in fact he is 5 6-7" according to his booking photo.

MOO

 

[FansBlowing]

Palymyra, Virginia (where RH's mother lived) is 22 miles or about half an hour to Charlottesville, Virginia (Route 29 stalker victim area).

 

[snarast]

I don’t find RH simular to the sketch really, not the eyes. And for a heavier person he has cheekbones that are very pronounced. And wasn’t the MO of the route 29 stalker flagging ppl down? I don’t think RH would have much success with that strategy. He is scary even at a distance. IMO.

 

[minazoe]

I think RH looks a dead ringer as a younger version in the sketch, the hairline the forehead..mOO

There is a 7+ foot guy in my town. I’ve noticed, and others as well, from a distance your brain perceives him seem closer to average height, and the other person much shorter. We all know he’s a giant, but still it’s the average size person gets shorter.

I find the cheeks , the haircut, and the chin look similar in the front-facing pic. The shape of the eyes and mouth seem different. Is there a photo of RH from the 90s to compare?

 

[Forest_Wood]

I think she’s convinced he’s innocent. Her family has 4 attorneys (including Rex’s team) telling them that Rex will be acquitted, so she’s probably confident. It’s either that or bluster.

Yes, it sure seems like she's backing him.

 

[Ruminations]

Yes, it sure seems like she's backing him.

I feel like she might be kinda forced to. I keep thinking about how she said her attorney (who does NOT seem to be advising her well, IMO) said she has to not say anything or it will be held against her. To me, it sounds like he's letting her think she's in more trouble than she is in. For one thing, she isn't arrested, so maybe he's implying she could be for things that would not get her in trouble. It's not like the attorney has had a crime free past, although he did manage to restore his ability to practice law.

JMO, but I feel like Macedonio is using her.

Oh, that's an interesting thought. What would he be using her for though? And then there's the streaming crew arriving to film something. She must be saying something -- with the implication being for money. The attorney is well aware of that taking place, so it seems he's not against her saying something under the right condition$. MOO.

Edited to add: I think it would have went a long way to hear her condemn the actions of the LISK and offer sympathy toward the murdered women, regardless of whether she thinks her man is involved. MOO.

 

[snarast]

She may want to address the swingers thing. *If* it isnt true its rather upsetting and unfair.

It could also be about the DNA. I’m assuming, perhaps incorrectly, they have mitochondrial DNA from her. Which is roughly 1000x more abundant than nuclear DNA and therefore easier to detect.
