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

[Ruminations]

I doubt he will start disclosing his involvement with other victims UNLESS and UNTIL he believes he has something to gain by it.

More likely, even though unpleasantly surprised by what LE has been able to uncover through their investigation so far (of electronics, the home, the vehicle, the scenes were bodies were left), RH is enjoying the fact that there remains much that is undetected - other victims, the particulars of his crimes against his victims.

He can no longer enjoy the hunt of women, so he is enjoying his own resistance to being hunted - i.e. what he believes he has adequately hidden or destroyed to hinder LE's ability to investigate.

Frankly, I terrified the DA will just keep adding to this indictment and pushing out the trial date.

If there is no trial, there is no conviction.

If there is no conviction, there is no CODIS.

MOO

One would assume that the DA would want the conviction as a feather in his cap.

I guess the three other states (esp south carolina) need to get cracking?

Edit: I guess that’s where CODIS comes in, hmm. Don’t like that at all, how are you then to catch multi-state serial killers? Seems bizarre.

It seems to me Suffolk County is making up for past sins and fast, too.

One would hope. I imagine it's not easy being DA in Suffolk County.

I find it a strange response, but what a normal response be besides crying?

and perhaps putting her hand up like 'ok, ok, that's enough, it is what it is'
I could easily see myself saying that

 

[NoSpoonFeeding]

Maybe photo's was to remind him to switch out Sims cards as they could have been hidden more easily

Photos aren't stored on sim cards but there are other options of the cards/digital devices for photo storage.
I think there are several cases of murderers that were careless with images/photos/devices and RH did have at least one burner phone with a photo of an (unidentified?) SW, who was alive and well in the photo. But RH had "film" on his list. We perhaps will never know if he had a collection of horrific images or not.MOO


48-year-old Brian Steven Smith, Alaska, arrested after a woman turned in a digital memory card on which he recorded a murder.

The card was labeled "homicide at midtown Marriott," and it contained 39 images and 12 videos depicting a strangulation. Police say it helped them make an arrest linked to a violent death.

Wow, so he still had the green Avalanche in 2011. He wasn’t so concerned about getting rid of evidence, anymore.

and then he sold it (if it's the same one) to his brother in SC - still easy to track
he also at one point had a jeep - could there have been evidence in it? where did it end up?

Well there is no note to take Derek back to the airport !!

the entry actually says 'pick up Derek at 6 a.m. for airport'
which makes me think he was giving Derek a ride to the airport JMO

ETA: just saw others already made this point

Typically, a post or beam that large is cut on the ground with a circular saw with the cut end raised and supported, unless it's put into the ground or already secured to a structure. It would be difficult to handle and install the porch posts without help, especially if you haven't done it before.

A 6X6 is 5.5". Too expensive to buy to rip to a 4X4 which is readily available. I don't think he has a radial arm saw in that little packed garage. MOO I'm no expert but I grew up with a structural engineer and I inherited his radial arm saw.

there were structures in the backyard too
maybe one of them needed 6x6 posts

edit: did a google search. Apparently office in Manhattan remains open. Most recent client: Target, Grammercy Park
A few crack reviews on there...

I don't know about that. When he was arrested, he owed over 20K to his employees. And they sued. Would they still be working for him unpaid almost a year later?

The photos of Rex's garage. There is a green Rubbermaid tote, that the shape and color look to be an exact match to what Peaches was found in. And what looks like maybe a red towel, similar in red color to the towel found with her. This I am not sure, but there is no doubt that's the same brand of tote and color. The shape/molding lines are exact, the handle and handle area. Just Rex's tote isnt showing the Rubbermaid label , at least on the end pictured in the garage. He could of had more than one of these green totes apparently (Since the garage photo should be an evidence photo) I bet they took the tote as evidence and maybe the towel, if this is a towel

one of his blueprints was to "burn photos or destroy photos" I would have to look back for the exact wording. but definitely seems like actual printed photos. just seems a risky waste to take photos just to destroy them. wonder how long he kept the photos?

My interest was because of him not having hire, paid counsel. It is a google biz search. I trusted google...it has crack reviews and a oldie talks re overcharges pre arrest. I also cross ref'd with a web magazine post for the target info...i do not post w/o cross cking.

Apologies I meant memory cards I used to have a camera with SD memory cards.

the green thing in the top pic with the towel looks like a suitcase to me. The one on the bottom looks like the Green Rubbermaid.

It’s possible that he is repurposing lumber from railroad ties, old decking material, or old heavy-duty pallets.

he probably didnt want a paper trail of the purchase, witnesses at the lumber store and possibly video cameras at the store recording him buying the post or having them cut. my guess is it was something he had on hand left over from a project at home or maybe a client either a work client or a furniture client (if he built furniture) or maybe Derek gave them to him. I really dont think the cost of a couple of 6x6 posts would break his finances, he spared not much cost to fulfill his fantasy life. he had 350 electronic devices and all those burner phones and lord knows how much he spent on prostitutes, 200 guns, and sound proofing a basement, 6x6 post is chump change. But there is a green tote in his garage, exactly color and shape to the one Peaches was found in. Its actually less evidence to use stuff you have on hand , instead of being caught at stores purchasing murder supplies. So many killers get caught because they either shop for these items right before or after the murder, where there are cameras or save the receipts. the vehicle is seen either coming or going, or they are actually on camera with these items at the cash register.

yes, the one with the towel is definitely a suitcase. I made another post, I couldn't figure out how to edit or delete the comment about the suitcase. but the item that looks like a similar towel is in that photo

I find it a strange response, but what a normal response be besides crying?

I think shocked and embarrassed would be many people's response to this news. That could certainly include crying.

The words were reportedly a response to her being shown some photos and "coming to terms with the fact he was being accused..."
Harrison did not give a lot of details and quoted the expression said by AE, after they showed her some photos. I am guessing they showed her something that proved her husband had relations with SW's, not the victims or actual crime scene photos. You don't take evidence with you to a search warrant and show it to a possible witness/victim/family members to convince them of his guilt. Maybe they just showed her that RH had been arrested. MOO


“When we told the wife, she was shocked, she was embarrassed,” Harrison said.
“But there was a point where we showed her certain pictures and she said, ‘OK, it is what it is.'”

Rex Heuermann’s wife replied to news he was suspected serial killer: ‘OK, it is what it is’

Rex Heuermann’s now-estranged wife quickly came to terms with the fact he was being accused of being a perverted serial killer.

I’ve been hoping they’d find a matching green Rubbermaid. Especially since green was not the most popular color. Where did you find these pictures inside the garage?
