I wonder RH will appear in court ?? Could a regular citizen get into the court room ? hhhmmmmm
Yes.
Mary Murphy told Josh Zeman ( just posted video) that 2-3 extra courtrooms are being opened for reporters and public and a live feed.

Dear God, reading here still gives me nightmares, though I do check in once in a while. Ever since Shannan, this case has haunted me. Such an utterly ghastly monster this ghoulish brute is.
 
  • #403
wow........RH may be linked to alot more crimes as has been discussed here by the wise Sleuthies !!!! I believe like many its why RH is pleading guilty, at least one reason
Tierney had said when RH was charged with a total of 7 torture/murders that there would be no more charges added to this indictment.
He then went on to say that investigations into other victims found is continuing.
If eventually they do connect RH to other victims, be it from evidence from the current investigations and/or from CODIS hopefully even though he'll be incarcerated w/o parole for his life that he is prosecuted .
The new victims and their loved ones more than deserve this to happen.

I got involved with Websleuths when Shannan Gilbert disappeared. The search for her, led to the discovery of the other bodies, which eventually resulted in the arrest of RH.

I do not think RH had anything with Shannan's death.

If he pleads guilty for the murders he is charged with, I wonder if he might have some information or insight into what he knows about happened to Shannan.

It could provide some closure for many people.
Tierney said that the public has only a small percentage of the evidence they have against RH yet even if they have some evidence that connects RH to SG I don't see him ever having divulged it during this case.
I don't feel he is connected to SG because I don't see him ever having had other men involved in his evil obsessions and evil actions.

Listening to Zeman & Murphy talk about the hair evidence found on victims it struck me of just how ironic it is that it was hair from RH's ex-wife, current wife and daughter.
So it was the three women from his life that played such a powerful role in catching him/charging him for the torture/murder of 7 other women.
imo

Great point! Chances are he was involved if he had clippings about her! I wonder if they found articles about others in his home or office of women he has never been charged with!
If he had clippings from when she first went missing and before the Dec 2011 search for her it could be because of the location SG was last seen knowing that his dumping ground could be discovered?

Do you know which victim had the hair of his ex-wife? Was that victim killed when he was still with that wife? I understand his first known victim was in 1993 IIRC.

Josh and Mary Murphy
Supposedly nothing is being offered to RH for a guilty plea deal.
He may want to prevent evidence the prosecutor has against/about him coming out.
2-3 more courtrooms opened for live feed to accommodate reporters/public.

What a terrific reporter she is! Following this case since the beginning and ready to retire by the sound of it. And now she can see it through. She certainly knows this case inside and out.
MOO

She didn't seem to question anything, ever. Even when faced with evidence she said she fell in love with RH all over again seeing him behind bars for the first time...that made me so angry!
Id' like to know if she has visited him since the news broke about the alleged guilty plea.
She had said in the documentary something like she would have to hear it from him face to face that he was guilty to believe it.

Is she living in South Carolina now? Will she travel up here for his hearings?

The last I read she was still living in SC.
I don't know if Sept 4 was her last sighting in court, it was the biggy, the DNA and her hair/etc. hearing.
RH didn't appear at his last hearing, crutches and whatever and I'll look to see if she attended.

All eyes will be looking for her come Wednesday.

"The families of some victims were in the courtroom, along with Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's ex-wife. "

After reading this it's no wonder RH is said to be entering a guilty plea.
Here's highlights of the March 17,2026 hearing that RH didn't appear for.
imo

WOW!

"The legal issues are now fully briefed and the court’s decision is expected on April 8, the defense said."

The week is upon us:
This article says a plea deal.
Mary Murphy on Josh Zeman said no deal was offered for his guilty plea.
stay tuned.

"The hulking Massapequa Park architect’s defense attorney Michael J. Brown and Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney are hashing out a plea deal that could see Heuermann, 62, cop to the savage killings at his April 8 appearance in Suffolk County Court, sources told The Post.

It’s unclear what charges Heuermann would plead to or any specifics of the deal being hammered out."

He still could have hidden others there. We don’t know.
And also not to be totally disgusting - sand has a lot to offer a sexual totem-collecting sadist in that the body parts are easy to dig down and dig up. Or if he wanted to move them or simply sit there handling his victim’s remains.

I’m hoping they looked carefully for DNA even at the hand-head sets (Karen, Jessica…) because he could have moved them around.

Hairs and touch DNA might not be expected on skeletal remains but if he has been handling them LATELY (2009 instead of 2000) that might be another story.

IMHOO

oooooooo.........I may gate crash !!!

I think so......RH may have thought its his private dumping ground and could have scoped out other locations like hunting grounds on long island

I'm full of anticipation and some fear.....I am praying there's justice for the victims and their loved ones........reading the court docs brought me to tears......Maureen BB and the belt buckle........
Agreed….I hope there is also justice for Asian Doe and Karen. If it wasn’t for the missing torso I’m assuming there would be more evidence in her case. It’s really sad.
