is he going to tell the FBI all the evil despicable things he did to these young women? is he going to admit how he caused them to suffer and how they suffered?

I think the FBI's underlying focus will be additional victims...otherwise I would say the greatest thing ever would be if they told Rex they don't need to interview him anymore because they just aren't that interested in him. lol.

He's not going to be interrogated, he's going to be a subject of serial killer research. Maybe they will get lucky and he enjoys the interviews enough to keep blabbing and gives up unknown personal or victim information, like Bundy and Ridgway did.

"Those are clinical interviews," Tierney added. "Those aren’t investigative interviews."

"They’re going to interview the defendant, gain insight into his motivations and background as sort of an academic and scientific exercise," Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told reporters after Heuermann entered his guilty plea Wednesday.

"Interviewing" while one is in custody, for the purpose of gathering incriminating (focusing on additional victims) information is an interrogation.

Common legal definition:
"Custodial interrogation" means express questioning or other actions or words by a law enforcement officer which are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from an individual and occurs when reasonable individuals in the same circumstances would consider themselves in custody.

Agreed on all, but he may end up giving more and better information in this current arrangement. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns into the next Richard Cottingham, who never agreed formally to provide any information beyond what was given at trial. He maintained his innocence until well after 2000. We'll see how "clinical" RH's interviews remain over time.

I think they're going to get more out of him. If he provides good information, it's well worth it in the end. Because there's more there. They know it, you know it, I know it. And he can smirk all he wants, but he's in prison and now at the mercy of the society that he has grievously injured time and time again. He took lives, little tiny girls and women. He viciously snuffed them out like they were of no consequence.

And so he'll talk, no telling how long it will take for him to "open up." But it's to his clear advantage to do so now.

He's a heartless animal who felt like his life was worth so much more than theirs.

See how much his life's worth now. His confessions will be worth as much as Hershey bar from a vending machine-- to him. To the people he injured, they will be like bars of gold. Those little women-- they never came home, and never will. And they didn't ask for that, RH was deranged enough to visit it upon them. Now, RH, you will not be going home, either. Your home is a prison cell, and unlike your victims, you did ask for it. And the only reason you'll be alive is because you're lucky enough to live in a society far more civilized than you are. The Hershey bar's worth far more than you are. Thank New York and the US generally you're still alive because if you were in a death penalty state-- I doubt it, honestly. I doubt you'd be getting what you're getting now.

You're welcome, Rex!

Maybe, but the local LE probably could have had access to any database they wanted, including the one that the woman used. The interview I heard said that the searches Suffolk County did were cursory - look one time in one database and don't find it, so file it away. Also discussed were numerous data reports given them by the FBI on cell phone data, etc. They didn't know how to read those reports and interpret them, so they filed them away.
They did not have an appetite for investigation- per the fantastically researched Jimmy The King.

Suffolk County, New York, is a niche interest. But if you are interested, that book by Gus Garcia-Roberts is a must-read.

The book exposes Suffolk County's propensity for solving all murders with confessions. The book said the investigation consisted in identifying the perpetrator, then making them confess by almost any means.

Their tactics remind me so much of the county and city LE and prosecutors in my area. Also common in rural Ohio. Very selective about the crimes and cases they pursue, some they ignore completely. Anyone that relies on confessions to solve murders is doing it wrong. Pressuring innocent people to confess to crimes they didn't commit is a great way to have a terrible crime rate in your jurisdiction. Most interesting are the ones they don't prosecute, instead claiming the death was a suicide or an accident. Like Shannan Gilbert.....

At a higher level, look how long our criminl justice system avoided prosecuting Epstein.

Rex Heuermann’s ex-wife, Asa, escorted from court by attorney, Bob Macedonio, after Heuermann admitted 8 murders in #GilgoBeach serial killer case. Asa briefly said she felt for the victims and their families but left the podium when asked why she didn’t know

DA Tierney to Rex Heuermann: “Did you dismember the remains of Jessica Taylor?” Yes, said Heuermann. The serial killer has allocuted in court that he strangled all his victims. Not all were dismembered. Jessica Taylor’s torso discovered in Manorville in 2003

I tend to agree - likely a short game & hopes for a much longer game which may involve strategies that anyone involved would be quite foolish to fully reveal to the public at this point in time. Rapport needs to be built first.
