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

[Ursamajr]

He straight up assassinated a person's character today...if I was licensed to practice in New York I would take the case pro-bono. This is disgusting behavior. She never asked to be the daughter of an accused serial murderer.

I'm watching a few spaces on the internet regarding this case. Almost instantly, there are now groups of people elsewhere who fully believe Victoria was involved. I can't imagine how life has been for her the past year and now what...? What did this presser do for anyone? I hope Victoria is in a safe space with a support system in place because all John Ray did was (further) victimize her. What a mess.

Chilling Details Revealed About Rex Heuermann's daughter

New details were revealed in the Gilgo Beach serial killings. Newsweek's live blog has ended.

www.newsweek.com

it was easier to look at in detail.
Lots of people have interest in horror art but it does stand out and possibly she was exposed to some of her Father's interests at a very young age and thought it was normal.
Maybe the entire family likes to watch Horror films together?
Or worse her Father show her awful photos as a young child or she saw something and is trying to process it?
She would be still a victim though.

"Attorney John Ray said that the hairs connected to Victoria Heuermann are not necessarily transferred by Rex Heuermann during the murders as the District Attorney has claimed."

This is the first I heard of VH hairs being present or on victims' bodies. How the heck did I miss that? But, none of the stepson correct?
Is this correct?
I assumed AH's hair was transferred by accident, otherwise, NYPD would be investigating her also. Since their house is messy I would assume random hairs would be everywhere including the pet cat.

A reminder that RH's family was not even in the state when Amber was killed, and that VH would have been roughly twelve years of age.

The only hair of VH in this case was found on Amber.

Source - the bail documents, both the first and the latest.

If I were to analyze her art I might think she accidentally saw her Father's books as a very young child or he showed them to her, and that makes her a victim.

And my question following that would be - did she accidently run across it and it influenced her at an impressionable age, or did he want her to see it and lure her into participating (even if she didn't realize she was participating).

idk

Well, it's my opinion (noted by the jmo in my post). I'm not psychic yet. lol

well the jmo seemed to only apply to the latter part of your comment that's all

 

[snarast]

Frankly, it is none of our business what VH wonders at this point. And it remains so unless and until an ACTUAL connection is made via evidence (and NOT merely insinuation, or drawing inferences based on mere family relation) when we are talking about illustrations and fan fiction that MANY young people participate in.

This is witch hunting, plain and simple.

Do you think RH might hear about this?

Maybe that is another motivation.

Repost of my post from thread 12, rbbm.

Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann’s interview was ‘difficult’: Realtor

Amira exclusively told NewsNation’s Ashleigh Banfield that interviewing Heuermann was “very difficult” and that he “loved talking about himself.”

www.newsnationnow.com

''Amira also picked up on a “strange relationship” between Heuermann and his daughter, who was there during the interview. He said “it felt like she was intimated (by Heuermann). I didn’t feel comfortable when he was talking to her.”

I assume they meant "intimidated" ?? not intimated?

 

[Ruminations]

[bbm]

how would anyone know if she's engaging in therapy?

I hope she is.

It is clear she is not hiring an attorney to say the most decent thing, "My client is horrified by the murders her father is accused of. While she (Chose one: believes he is innocent/is shocked at the allegations/is unsure if she has witnessed anything useful), she is cooperating fully with the investigation. She asks for privacy at this time."

She signed a sleazy deal.

MOO

OIC. Would he have to say the literal words "she was involved or she knew" or simply imply an association?

That's my last legal Q for the day

defamation

www.law.cornell.edu

To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.

Different states vary in their anti-defamation statutes. As such, courts in different states will interpret defamation laws differently, and defamation statutes will vary somewhat from state to state. In Davis v. Boeheim, 110 A.D.3d 1431 (N.Y. 2014), which is a New York state court case, the court held that in determining whether a defamation claim is sufficient, a court must look at whether the "contested statements are reasonably susceptible of a defamatory connotation."

Like seeing your dad's nudie magazines as a young child so you became a female adult performer which makes you a "victim"?

Hes turning this into a circus. Its time for him to step back. This is absolutely pointless

I had to stop watching.
As disturbing as the images were, the whole thing sounded like the gossip mill of a FB comment thread.

Got it! Many thanks!

It's possible in my mind that if he kept photos, whether online or hard copy, that VH came across them unintentionally. Believe me I found some nasty stuff (not illegal, just nasty) on a parent's computer while I was using it. I also came across illegal drugs in their clothes when I was playing dress up as a child.

BBM:
The problem I see with your possible explanation for local young girls reading/drawing like VH did is that I will assume that none are the daughters of an accused serial killer who tortured his victims to death and caught with evidence that's a mine field.

Does VH not wonder where her interests came from considering she has an affinity for what her father was arrested for along with his blueprint that describes what's needed to carry out the images and reading material VH posted about?

1. Have you ever heard the expression "correlation does not imply causation"? Maybe there is a grant available to study whether children of serial killers are more likely to create/view disturbing artwork if they've been witness to a parent's crime or not. Until such study I see no reason why or how this information is helpful.

2. We don't know what VH wonders regarding her choice of artwork and images, and frankly it's none of our business. She may well be trying to work through these questions as part of her trauma recovery (which now includes this extra layer of trauma and public humiliation).

I hope LE makes a public statement that shuts all this down ASAP.

I hope they use it to their advantage in the case.

It's possible that people in the "outsider art" community will be clamoring to commission original art from her. It's possible she could benefit and have an income source after today. Just saying.

If you grow up in a situation where you're emotionally neglected and your father figure objectifies women then yeah, maybe a person thinks their self worth is dependent on whether men find them sexually attractive or not so maybe they go into that business. On the other hand, some women find being an adult performer empowering and beautiful and that's amazing. Like most things, I don't believe it's black or while and each and every person is different and handles life and their experiences differently. MOO.

 

[Just K]

VH was not even born when Sandra Costilla was killed.

But what if dear old dad kept pictures lying about throughout the years?

 

[Izzylizzy]

And, I wonder how much Icelandic words/terms were used in these tumblr, etc accounts? Wasn't the account name Icelandic or similar?

Yep, something about enjoying ?
like food?
