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

[Vpq]

So LE/FBI tracked him to meet sex workers, what exactly would they have done if he killed another woman on their watch?
yikes...

They would have intervened like with Bruce MacArthur.

It's both a complicated and simple explanation. The simple answer: Suffolk County PD is a corrupt bunch. Thomas Spota who was the DA out in Suffolk from 2002 - 2017 is currently in prison for obstruction of justice. His best buddy, James Burke, the former Police Chief in Suffolk, was also convicted and has already served his sentence. Personally, I think they both got off lightly and most of their crimes were swept under the rug. If you're ever bored, search up their names for an infuriating read about coercion of witnesses, assualt, and coverups aplenty oh my!

One of the worst examples of Suffolk County corruption, which involved both Spota and Burke, along with their detectives, was the Martin Tankleff Case, where a teenager was arrested for killing his parents in 1988. Tankleff's arrest and prosecution had numerous violations of his civil liberties, and there was no evidence that Martin was responsible for his parent's deaths. His father's business partner remains the most likely suspect, with both motive and malice. Martin Tankleff spent 17 years in prison until the charges were dropped by a New York state special investigation. Tankleff was able to successfully sue the state of New York for wrongful conviction, and later successfully sued Suffolk County. He was represented by the Innocence Project in the Suffolk County suit. It is difficult to find current and detailed MSM links, but here are some: Man wrongfully convicted of murder is becoming a lawyer
Martin Tankleff gets more than $3.3 million settlement from New York state

Wondering where Hawk is! He posted 2 months ago.

CAN WE TRUST DA SINI TO INVESTIGATE LISK?

WE now know Tom Spota and James Burke may have hindered the investigation. Like it or not the task falls to Sini. There are some people in Sini's office that are holdovers from Spota's time. During the Spota time there was one particular SCPD detective supervisor that followed Burke into that...

I hope he's okay.

Is anyone else creeped out by how close Rex Heuermann (born 1964), Joel Rifkin (born 1959) and Joseph Shulman (born 1954) lived to each other and were pretty close in age? All killed SWs. What's in the water in that part of LI?

Joseph Shulman address 11 Glow Lane Hicksville
Joel Rifkin address 1492 Garden Street East Meadow
Rex Heuermann address 501 1st avenue Massapequa Park

i’ve been thinking about this since you posted yesterday and then thought about John Bittrolff so i added him as well. what are the chances?! you’re so right, what IS in the water?

At some point between October 2007 and November 2011, RH replaced the garage door with a windowless one.

I wonder what he kept in the garage.

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 - not an approved source>

This is great news!

"Additionally, the 59-year-old Heuermann's DNA has been entered into a statewide database, available to all law enforcement agencies in New York."

"His DNA will also be submitted for a national search."

It will be interesting if anyone remembers his youth as in torturing animals,bed wetting etc. Mother is in 90swould LE ask her this . Ex wife have info? About his actions.

 

[airportwoman]

I saw in a CNN article that he had at least 200 firearms stored in a secret compartment in his basement. That must be one reason why they were emptying out the cellar. (They knew of 92 guns that were licensed or registered.)

Someone had asked if RH or family had any ties to law enforcement.

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.

The forensic psychologist in this show says that more serial killers did not harm animals in their youth than did.

Did LE actually think he may strike again, or was it that they thought he might flee? And why would he flee if he presumably didn’t know they were on to him? Was the arrest in part because of the incident with the woman recently—and has LE confirmed that WAS him?

It’s confusing to think that he kept visiting sex workers but hadn’t killed again, at least that we know of in the last year or so he was under surveillance. Definitely open to the possibility he killed between the discovery of the first set of victims and when surveillance started.

But still, to me it’s like an addict sitting at the table with their drug of choice right in from of them. It’s hard to imagine he could resist. I suppose if he needed to take them home (ugh) he couldn’t if these visits happened while wife was home, but I don’t know. Does what I’m trying to say make sense? I am 100% they’ve got their guy as far as the GB4 go, and think he’s likely responsible for some of the other victims. I just don’t understand how he could consistently meet these women and keep from harming them.

Thoughts are all over this place but I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

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).

 

[Chimera]

Thankful RH has been caught.
Sad that it couldn't have happened sooner, but investigations take time and LE need to be as certain as possible they have the right perp.

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.
