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

[Chimera]

Does anyone know what these pipes (?) are for? I noticed them in one of the photos of LE searching RH's house and when I went to Google street view, it doesn't appear they were there in 2011 (there appears to be a spout/vent of some kind, but it doesn't look like what is there now).

For a security cam ?
Those are usually higher up the wall or under the roof, though .

I can’t stop thinking about Shannan Gilbert and her family. So much a victim blaming by the police…. think of a recent victim Gabby P. Of course we don’t know if this monster is involved with her death but there are many questions.
The police perpetuate an unsafe environment for escorts by dismissing their families when they try to report women missing. This is heartbreaking.

After listening to Shannan’s distressing 911 call, I had many questions. During the call you can hear him/them teasing and taunting her. So much doesn’t make sense. My impression was that the driver was inside the house with her, wouldn’t a driver wait outside? Why didn’t he act like a driver? If she felt uncomfortable, he should have a let her get in the car and remove her from the situation. She was not able to tell the police anything about her location, so who made the arrangements for her?….the driver? If she had made the arrangements, she would have been able to give the police an address.

As far as I know, her phone wasn't recovered, correct ?

I took the time to compile a list of all building permits (available here) obtained by Rex Heuremann during his career (spanning from 1992 to present day) to see if there are any discernible patterns between his work and the murders and noticed a few things.

From 1992 to 2023, RH obtained 238 building permits -- all within the 5 boroughs of NYC -- for various projects ranging from demolitions and porch construction to entire gut renovations of large-scale apartment buildings and commercial spaces. Most of the permits he obtained were in Manhattan, with a large proportion of them in Midtown.

Throughout the 31 years he has been a practicing architect, there was only one year in which he didn't obtain a single permit -- 1996. RH did not obtain a single new permit between December 1995 and August 1997, despite not having any large ongoing projects which could conceivably account for the lack of new permit applications. Interestingly, the bodies of the Fire Island Jane Doe and the dismembered torso of an unidentified woman known as "Peaches" were found during this professional hiatus on April 20, 1996 and June 28, 1997, respectively.<modsnip - not an approved source>

Additionally, on March 5, 2007, RH obtained a permit for a $200,000 contract at 115 1290 1st Avenue in Manhattan. While I was unable to obtain any information about when construction at the site actually commenced, it is worth noting that 1290 1st Avenue is less than a mile from the 59th Street Bridge, where Maureen Brainard-Barnes' cellphone pinged at around 11:56 p.m. on July 9, 2007 <modsnip>

The 1996 discrepancy may have an explanation linked to his registration. In the licensing verification website for NYC, posted in an earlier thread, the site shows Heuermann as licensed in November 1996. Most state boards list the initial date of registration. Yet, Heuermann was in business before 1996 - in 1992 as you found. There are a couple of possibilities:

1. Heuermann was in business without an architect's registration/license until 1996. It appears that obtaining a permit would have required registration as an architect. He may have been forced to discontinue conducting business to obtain the proper credentials.
2. Heuermann's licensed lapsed - either by negligence or suspension - and was reinstated in November 1996. But the site notes that he was registered in November 1996.

I had a similar setup in the house I grew up in. South Massapequa. Oil tank for heating was in the garage.

EDIT- Some neighbors had the fill spouts in the garage but moved them outside to not have to let the oil delivery company in the garage.

That would be my guess too, living in bldg with oil. A truck comes by and fills the tank via a hose.

Good work! Interesting info and dates to consider.

Also, for any locals... is there something significant located at the 59th St bridge... other than the bridge, of course? I was reading back through Michael Pak's depo with John Ray and IIRC Shannan Gilbert and MP met-up (at some point) at the 59th St bridge.

ETA: Page 33 is the first mention of the 59th St bridge, maybe it's a common location to meet someone??

It's a common midtown bridge that has no toll to get in and out of Manhattan. The no toll thing is why most people use it.

For a guy who has stayed put in Massapequa Park for 25+ years, as well as a long time user of public transportation (LIRR) is anyone else a little surprised more people aren’t coming out the the woodwork with stories, anecdotes, etc about RH. Theirs been very little out of his neighbors (seems to have kept to himself), nothing from the wife or brother or other family yet, only one or two co-workers/colleagues have commented, and perhaps most intriguing their has been no other sex worker come forward having recognized him as a client (perhaps for legal reasons). SCPD has said he has still been actively seeking out sex workers - so nothing? Has this man been living in the shadows and keeping a low profile, the incident in Brady park a few weeks ago suggest he’s still a more brazen man. Is the fear that this case and Suffolk county might get this wrong ..again, keeping everyone tight lipped? Where are the childhood friends? Ex girlfriends? Other call girls? It seems divided between ‘nice guy kept to himself’, and ‘yeah he was weird something was up’ - who is the real Rex Heuerman? Who hurt him? Where does this pain and hatred come from? Is he psychotic, a psychopath, angry issue, family abuse - what do we really now about him aside from being a towering man, an architect with sloppy hair, a cat, a wife and two kids?

I don't think that everyone responds to it the same way, but if people are genetically predisposed to violence and live all their lives in the same area, I think it is important to check what is, or is not, present in that water and soil.

or is there high levels of LEAD in the paint when they were young?

Is anyone else following the possible Serial Killer in Portland?
I don't know how to start a new topic.
Sorry to drop this here but he is a suspect in 6 women's homicides.

"Four of six women suspiciously found dead in and around Portland, Oregon over the last several months appeared to be connected to a possible serial killer, authorities admitted on Monday after city investigators previously insisted there was no link among the half-dozen cases."
Portland police reverse course, believe deaths of 4 women may be work of possible serial killer

Rex Heuermann’s sister-in-law speaks out after arrest in Gilgo Beach mruders

Follow the latest news on the Long Island serial killer case as police continue to search for evidence implicating the Manhattan architect over string of escort deaths

www.independent.co.uk

''Attorneys for alleged Gilgo Beach murders suspect Rex Heuermann have insisted on their client’s innocence.

Criminal defence attorney Michael J Brown described 59-year-old Mr Heuermann as a loving husband and devoted father and suggested that investigators are ignoring stronger leads in the probe into the deaths of slain sex workers Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello and Megan Waterman.


“There is nothing about Mr Heuermann that would suggest that he is involved in these incidents,” Mr Brown said in a statement to New 12.

“And while the government has decided to focus on him despite more significant and stronger leads, we are looking forward to defending him in a court of law before a fair and impartial jury of his peers.”

We have heard from a few neighbors and colleagues who have given interviews, and a classmate or two, and over time we are beginning to hear from more people who knew RH. I am guessing that a lot of people who knew him in some way are reluctant to come forward and be associated with an accused serial killer, which is understandable.

I wouldn't expect to hear from his family members, other than through his attorney or their own representative.

I do think you have raised some good questions about RH, but they are very personal and likely stayed private to him. Colleagues who worked with him and knew him have said that he had a clear separation between his professional and private lives.
