Omg it's not even her art???!!!
It was just her likes or interests?
But most people won't know that
The damage is done
Idk how he sleeps at night

So you are saying NONE of those paintings are her art? But she merely shared them or liked them?
You don't notice a strange similarity between dismembered women's torsos with what her father is accused of?

He's also pointing out that RH's family is making money off of this case and he isn't.

Ray has raised his profile significantly by being involved with this case. How many clients has he picked up over the years due to his countless appearances in the media?

A few of the dismembered paintings would have raised eyebrows even at an art college.
35 years or so ago, I worked for a NY artist who as a vegetarian delighted in drawing human parts hopping about in a skillet. He considered that art. Maybe I was somewhat traumatized by what I saw as the couple's weirdness.

She's fine.

Look, I am so glad John Ray brought this into the discussion. But I also get why it is disturbing. Sheree is empathetic to VH and there is nothing wrong with empathy.

However, there is something wrong with ignoring relevant facts. VH's interests are relevant. Warwick has a point that it is worth exploring if she has fantasies of doing violence. But if she does not, and her art is simply processing what she has grown up with, but not what she is in danger of doing, it is still relevant to us. Because clearly the family was not unaware of Rex's alleged activities.

That is not a crime. But it tells us there are important potential witnesses. It is being repeated on this thread that Tierney makes an exaggerated point that the family was out of town. Well, by his own recent bail document, the victims were kept alive longer than we hoped. The AC hotel time share charge doesn't time the hotel stay. Purchases in AC do, and they indicate a shorter stay. (And weird purchases traveling as the only parent with young children.) It is also plausible that Rex wanted his family to have a good alibi that they would not bungle, more than he was sneaking around him.

Even if the family were out of town and entirely unaware of the crimes, they'd have to have SOME information. For example, the cover stories given which could lead LE to more clues. What if Rex told them he hit a curb with his truck and needed yo replace the tires. Yet for some reason, he cheated out and bought them used at a junk yard. Wouldn't that (entirely hypothetical) situation be useful to LE?

So why does Tierney insist on over-ehasizing that the family was out of town? Why mention it more than in passing...why not say that the murders charged seem to correspond to the family traveling, so we are interested in any witness who has information about what the suspect did or claimed he did during family vacations?

Tierney is showing hostility to getting all the information.

But back to VH and Sheree. Whatever happened, while it obviously did not leave VH ignorant, it also probably did not leave her unscathed. I am sure the press conference compounded the pain, and Sheree, like all of us, don't want to see VH hurt. But we do want facts.

MOO

V's reblogged memes on Tumblr are not indicative of her awareness or knowledge of RH's crimes. That is a fact.

The antler painting is based on a scene from the TV series Hannibal.

I wonder, though, if they were used by Rex and don't even fully realize it. Can they be jolted into realizing they might have been used, or might have witnessed situations, or unwittingly covered for him?

I'm not as concerned about their actual involvement (at this point) as I am that they might have info that leads to other victims being discovered.

jmo
( Just using your post as a jumping off point. )

One thing I try to remind myself of is the fact that simply because someone has hired legal representation that does not necessarily mean that they aren't cooperating with LE. We have no clue what AE and her adult children might have shared with investigators. For all we know, they may be actively working with LE, despite what statements they have issue publicly.

It depends.
If they were later accused of dismembering a woman AFTER you saw their art would you view it differently? If not involved in grisly crimes, wouldn't be an issue.
A guy I know in school drew a picture of him raping an infant and was put in prison later for raping an infant.

I agree....
There is a high probability she was never complicit in her father's activities.

That said, as a member said earlier, her drawings, her art, her images, her sketches are gory and depict sexualized murderous torturous violence.

Some have details that are reminiscent of the charged murders. A missing shoe. Violence to genitalia post-mortem. An arm cut at the elbow. Marsh grass in the background.

She presumably produced these as a young adult, but the murders happened much earlier, as a member reminded us.

Is it possible to me she looked through her fathers things or was told about her fathers crimes- and she is processing as an artist would?

But obviously, the murders would not be a complete surprise to her

MOO and thank you to a previous member who brought these thoughts to my mind.

You know that art isn't necessarily literal right? You know that it can be metaphoric right? You know that most of what she shared or viewed was not even hers right?

I'd be interested to know just how much she reblogged was fanart from Hannibal or media like it.

Like I said earlier, Hannibal was massive on Tumblr, and had a huge fan artist base on there. Lots of vore, which, if you think about the franchise, it would be strange if there wasn't. It's a whole well acted, well scripted, beautifully shot series about a serial killer who eats people. Or so I've been told. I've never watched, but as I said, it was impossible to avoid the fanart and gifs on there at the time. Too many people were obsessed with it.

It does not mean she was INVOLVED in his crimes, but why the interest in the same topics? That doesn't pique your curiosity at all. It would interest a teacher, art instructor, psychologist, art therapist, and a detective.

That wasn't a bombshell, we've known since the bail document that the hair found on Amber was VH's.

It's evidence. The other poster said there was no evidence of VH. They obviously didn't know also which is why I pointed it out.

To me the VH hair was new and a bombshell. Sudden and unexpected.

I know zilch about Tumbler.

Two images from her Tumbler account have these dates on them which is after RH's arrest on 7-13-23.

Do these dates mean that she posted the images after her father's arrest?

The date on one image is 12-8-23
The other one is 11.28.23

It was the first time I read about her hair also, and that fact alone would trigger an investigation.

We don't know any of that for a fact.

But it is not new information to law enforcement.

And she was a child, and provably out of state, which means they HAVE investigated it.

Possibly or when NYPD found it, and filed it as evidence. Her account is disabled so I cannot confirm it.
I thought Tumblr was defunct, it's not very popular anymore compared to TikTok, but a few visual artists still post there.
I wonder if NYPD asked John to put out this info?

She was not of state during her entire childhood. She lived at that house with her Mother and Father, unless they state she NEVER lived with Father nor visited her ever she was most likely exposed to something she should not have been exposed to, and as a child could not comphrend.
She could have accidentally looked at some of her father's photos.
It stuck in her subconscious.

Some people are generally freaked out about clowns... paintings, drawings, whatever... but for the rest of the population they are simply clowns and have no negative impressions UNLESS they are aware and affected by the John Wayne Gacy murders. It's all in the eye AND MIND.



ETA: If Gacy had a child who viewed/drew/painted mutilations and clowns most of US would be interested, horrified or have some emotional reaction. And, if these artworks were viewed and done during the time Gacy was active, most of us would be concerned. Does that mean those of us disturbed by this are implying the child was also a killer? NO.

I'm not saying she never was exposed to anything ever in her whole childhood - we were discussing the hair and its connection to Amber's murder!

Yes, absolutely! But most people do NOT like to view paintings of dismembered bodies. Clowns are either creepy or cringey.
Dismembered bodies are either a forensic study, anatnomy, of a crime, or from a horrible nightmare. Even surreal art. Not many grandmas would collect dismembered nudes of a woman but might collect dolls or ugly clowns.
