You must have read my mind. lol
I had just posted asking for help finding something so I could post what a relative said.

Huh?
When asked if she's heard of the Gilgo Beach murders why would AE immediately say to the FBI.
"but I don't know anything"

This is up there with "it is what it is"
IMO

“I was waiting for my husband, but he didn’t come home. And then suddenly I see them come on the front porch,” she said. “They push their way in and they asked me, do you know why we’re here. And I said, my husband’s guns?

“And the woman investigator says to me, ‘Have you heard about the murders on Gilgo Beach?’ And I said, ‘I heard of them, but I don’t know anything."

Does anyone remember the name of the documentary /special where RH's cousin's wife was speaking about Rex and also mentioned that her husband, Rex's cousin. traveled to Long Island for something and stayed at his house?
I think she said he booted out of there early too.

I found a snip from the documentary.
Wife of Rex's cousin


"A woman who went by Margaret for the doc offered insight as the wife of Huermann's cousin.

"The cousins were just in shock and disbelief. It is hard to reconcile that he was able to disguise himself so well," she explained. "He wasn't an outsider in the family. He was an organizer of the family reunions. He was called our Dear Rex."

Margaret heard stories from Huermann's childhood about his "rage and anger issues." She heard that Huermann's now-late father was allegedly abusive.

"It was like walking on thin ice being around his father. You didn't want to set him off," she claimed, adding that "everybody was traumatized by" Huermann's dad. "Rex actually lived in the house he grew up in as a child.

Margaret's husband was "really creeped out" when he visited Huermann's home which seemed to serve as "a capsule of time from his childhood."

Prior to reading the article about his mother, I didn’t know that they are living in the house that he grew up in. Strange that he wouldn’t want to make home improvements to his childhood home.

IIRC it was VH who said in the documentary when talking about her fathers "gun room" that is where her father's bedroom was growing up.
Makes one wonder what went on in there.

The faucet gives you an idea of the clutter just around the sink. The wood shelves look like raw wood. Maybe a work in “progress.” I’ve seen college apartments that look nothing like this mess.

I found Asa incredibly cold and disinterested in the victims and their families. Not a single word of compassion or empathy for their loss and the pain they've suffered for so many years. It could have been the editing, or I don't know, but she was cold as ice, stubborn, and immovable as a rock. And in my opinion, she knows

JMO, she’s always been that way since she first began talking to the news media. In those first days and weeks after the arrest, she filled the news media with talk of how badly she and her family were being victimized, demanding that Suffolk County and others provide them with compensation for their inconvenience. Never a word about the victims and families.

It’s the same with her attorneys. It’s as if they resent the victims and families. I suppose they all do because the families are accusing Rex of being the killer. It almost seems as though her attorneys are also on Rex’s defense team. Maybe that’s why the public is put off by Asa and her attorneys. They’re all “Team Rex” demanding sympathy for both Rex and Asa, as well as their kids. No sympathy whatsoever for the victims.

in the end of the final episode Asa says she did what she had to do to protect her kids.

I'll take her word for that and any scenarios I can attach to that statement, because that is very open to interpretation. Asa seems shut down. sometimes people like her see life in terms of
dollars and cents... in terms of survival. She seems like a shut in with her food stamps and dependent adult children. she certainly didn't give a *(&$# what anyone thought of her home.

she seems like someone who does feed everyone and nurtures with food and clean laundry.
but not much else. I feel like she has made a career out of her disabled son and lives a kind of welfare queen lifestyle, advocating for him and taking advantage of every freebee available.

I bet she cuts coupons and has never known any other kind of lifestyle.

lots of old hippies were horaders back in the day..I have known women like Asa that have money and
security and just don't care how they live.

There are full size cabinets above the wood shelves. The kitchen is small. There is a large window where the shelf ends so no room for expansion. I thought it was an odd place for such a large window as there is a door next to it then another large window.

I wonder when they’ll be able to set a trial date?

I wonder if this this tv series will be used by Rex’s defense to make claims of unfair pre trial publicity? That will probably come up eventually.

Will be the same with the Idaho college murder case. I am nervous that this trend of producing documentaries prior to cases going to trial will muddle the waters and make it harder to secure a conviction/more likely of a mistrial if the jurors are aware of the media circus. JMO

Was he a successful architect? He looked so sloppy and his home life was so...cluttery that I can't image him at a slick job in a high rise building. I CAN imagine him designing some sketchy looking place named Hillbilly Heaven or Billy Bob's Garage. Have his old coworkers said anything about him?

I think he focuses his attention to detail to certain - rather unfortunate - areas of which his work is the highlight and elevation torture is the the vrry dak down side.

Some people cube, others do not. Compartmentalisation is a coping mechanism that seems to work for a lot of people in different ways.

But yes - he is fat and sloppy but had a company named after himself with several employees in an office located on Manhattan.

Wouldn’t happen in Bel Air, but elsewhere there are plenty of awful looking successful people.

As far as sks go RH does stand out. Compared to even BTK or Gacy he was very successful in society.

I also think his bumbling appearance may have been an asset sometimes, for instance with Amber Costello. Making him seem more harmless, even pathetic, compared to what he would look like if he was wearing all Prada.

Have followed this case for many years from Aus. What is the max penalty in NY (is it NY state?)

Yes it is NY state. No death penalty so max penalty would be life without parole.

In some cases, serial killers and sexual predators like RH, do not live out their natural lives. The prison inmates can become an alternative justice system.

Okay so in episode three I was DELIGHTED that they mentioned 2 of the women who went missing
near his home in SC. I am convinced he is involved and it's a matter of time. mOO

Why would Asa be on Food Stamps/Snap? She should be claiming payments from Peacock as income.

 

[minazoe]

most likely her son's benefit card or stamps or whatever she was seen shopping with. mOO
