The Polygon and the Avalanche: How the Gilgo Beach Suspect Was Found

Yes, and that needs to be fully investigated. Why was such an easy lead ignored? Who neglected to follow up my on it?

What is the source of his google searches, please? I read the bail application warrant and I don't recall anything about mature escorts.

Thank you.

Bail application page 18
Oops sorry didn't see all the other responses

For anyone ruling out other potential victims because they aren't his type. Note his Google searches... "mature escorts manhattan". Other descriptors used in searches - CP, black, chubby, fat, short and skinny.

I'd like to see all of the search history but guess we'll have to wait.

I can only imagine the search history that they did release is only the tip of the iceberg

I agree.

Reading over his horrific google searches, another thing came to mind. He only searched the names of the Gilgo 4. He didn’t search up Valerie Mack or Jessica Taylor or peaches, etc. only the GB4. This, to me, is another reason I am certain that he is not responsible for the other victims and that JB is.

Edited: Unless he did but they didn’t release that info

 

[Friday13]

Sounds like he was actively expanding his search base.

What if his search base was always expanded?

Is it too far fetched that he took the time to wrap Megan, Maureen, Melissa & Amber and place them somewhat close together because these four he “coveted” more over any of his other potential victims? Maybe they were younger and more attractive and he wanted to keep them together, like a twisted prized collection.

I’d bet that they were in his search history as well whether they are in fact his victims or not.

I think LE is being super tight-lipped and not releasing the majority of his search history for good reason. Exactly what that reason is, I don’t know, but they are playing their hand close and so far, they seem to really know what they’re doing. As much as I’m absolutely chomping at the bit for more info, I know it’ll come out when the time is right.

The PCA is directly related to Megan, Melissa, Amber, and to a degree Maureen, because charges are expected to be laid for her soon. If they have found evidence pointing to other victims, they haven't reached a point where they're ready to disclose it yet. I do hope we see that happening in the future, whether those unknowns are victims we know about already, or are victims we don't.

MOO

Yeah, that hit me after I posted. I should just give up playing Columbo

To use a single killing as an example - With Gannon, we knew there had been searches at one point that were suspicious, and as the trial developed and progressed, we heard of more and more things she'd searched for, from before the killing right up to arrest, like how to clean up blood, about poisoning, and how often bridges are checked... and the weight of it grew more and more damning for the perpetrator. There may be a whole lot more he searched for that we only find out at trial.

MOO

Lol do not give up, isn’t that what a lot of us are here doing?!? I love reading everyone’s thoughts, ideas and theories on WS!

Don't be silly! There was nothing wrong with what you posted, and likely more than one other member was wondering the same thing.

I tend to lean this way as well. Mom raising 2 boys and ruling the roost after dad died. Would be curious as to her personality. I read the article where a classmate had received a note from Rex that he liked her and she never answered him. She said he was bullied quite a bit. I'd love to know the personality of his first wife and his soon to be ex second wife. Were they strong women who were perhaps a bit bossy and condescending?

And...what if they were?

One of the photos in the NY Post shows a smiley face painted on the back of the house, which is especially creepy given what is believed to have occurred in that house.

 

[Crumble]

Probably didn't care as much about the victims and therefore the investigation because they were SWers. Aside from the social stigma, in the eyes of law enforcement SW is a crime (or at least in most of USA it is).

Like when a drug dealer gets murdered a lot of people are like oh well they were just a drug dealer.

I believe that tip also came from someone involved in crime? So maybe they didn't think he was credible. I agree though it's really bad and needs to be looked into... but my guess is it probably won't be.

Holy smokes, great eye! That is really creepy indeed!

I just go based off of facts we have gotten from law enforcement. No other suspects have been announced. The only person claiming they believe another party (a female in fact) was involved is I believe the attorney for Shannon Gilbert and Jessica Taylor's families, which I am aware it is probably an unpopular opinion, however those murders have not been tied to RH at this point in time. Only 3 and possibly a 4th murder are tied to RH at this point.

So my unpopular (probably very unpopular) opinion is that I do not understand why people keep trying to tie other suspects into this when the facts we have received so far point to a lone serial killer. Is it just because some people have felt they had a "suspect" early on and don't want to let go of their suspicions of that person?

When Gary Ridgeway, Green River Killer, was arrested, only four victims were named in the original indictment. Very soon, three more victims were added to that list. Today, GRK has been found guilty in 49 murders. Unofficially, the current list includes at least 72. He killed so many, he doesn't even remember.

If RH is a serial killer, it is possible that his final list will be longer. One hopes so, because the relatives of his victims need closure.

JMO - LE is proceeding from logical assumptions, starting with other victims found on the same beach, and then, looking through the lists of other murder victims found in NY.

Currently the investigation already includes three states, and it will be probably be long and tedious. God knows where it will end. JMO - Gilgo Beach was a dumping place for several killers.

RH, as I suspect, is obstinate and will not open up willingly. I hope LE will have some bargaining chips.

 

[Charlot123]

Do serial killers study or read about other serial killers?

JMO - they admire some. You’d think there is no glamour in absolutely sick necrophiliacs and cannibals, yet some manage to find favorite role models.

And I worked with a guy named "Rex".

Rex (given name) - Wikipedia.



JMVHO.

In Germany, a police dog (shepherd dog) in a crime series was called "Rex". Since then I'm connecting "Rex" with dognames only. Except with Rex Harrison also, the handsome actor.

Anyone have any thoughts on The Killing Season documentary/Episode 3/timestamp 12:24?
If this was already discussed, please ignore me.
I don't hear the lisp at all. I wonder when RH lost those teeth.
