UID Victim: "Cherries", Mamaroneck, Blk/Hisp, 605UFNY, found Mar 2007

Agreed, I think he couldn't control himself with Amber, he's got inferiority complex (jmo) and they triggered him, and he literally couldn't restrain himself. Everyone had better respect Rex-- or else. I'm sure it wasn't the first time he couldn't restrain himself, and I bet he's made mistakes before and got lucky, but his luck has run out and I'm thinking they'll find more victims where he made similar mistakes because he was unable to control himself. & they'll now be able to link him, although perhaps not formally charge him.

Why these victims? What exactly makes him choose the victims? Very attractive, petite, "small is good," but was it logistics or preference? The fact that he needs to remind himself makes me think logistics. But why these victims particularly? I'm sure he had other sex workers who were very attractive and petite. Who did RH decide to un-alive and why?? I find it a maddening question, honestly. He's something of a kill machine, I mean he clearly enjoys killing people ("playtime"). It probably doesn't take much for him to show interest in the possibility. I'm guessing (big guess) he finds out as much as he can about any SW he goes to. Some give him more info than others. Those unfortunate enough to give him info where he feels there's a low likelihood of "traceability" are at risk. Those noting financial concerns vocally/pointedly with him are especially at risk imo. He may view this as a "diss" in his role as client, emphasizing in his mind his need to pay for these services. Those that challenge him in any way-- they are imo going to be victims. I remember in one of the documents I'd viewed, he had gotten a very familiar and friendly message from a SW and this SW was not targeted, I believe this was the SW where he said he'd contact her with "bed info." I really do think insulting RH could be fatal for anyone he's in contact with that gives off vibes where "traceability" would be low for him. Meaning if he gets an insult from someone where the risk level for him is low, that person might end up dead.

He was in a gun club that had matches out in Manorville, so that's probably the Manorville connection. Based on sources, he's got connections in New Jersey, Nevada, I've seen Minnesota at a couple sources. Maryland, Florida, Virginia. Massachusets, possibly Rhode Island. Vermont. Probably Pennsylvania. Hunting license in Alaska. If he drove to AK, he's been through parts of Canada. If he's driven to Vegas, he's done cross-country road trips and passed through multiple states, including I would think Colorado and New Mexico. He was in Iceland. Property in South Carolina. Since he's so into bear hunting, there's no doubt in my mind he was in the Montana/Dakotas region at some point. I don't even think this is an exhaustive list. Clearly he likes to travel and had the money to do it, my guess is in the course of his lifetime he may have been through every state in the continental US, but it's guess only. What's especially concerning is the youthful appearance of some of the victims. Colletti thought SG was a young kid. To me, pics of Melissa and Megan also look like young kids. Valerie Mack has an almost childlike vulnerability to her. But at the same time, the "small is good" is a sign this was more of a logistical choice imo. If it were pure preference, he wouldn't have to remind himself of it in his "notes."
LE specified that he had magazine clippings from 1993…. It’s kinda starting to look like Sandra was his first… or at least the first he followed attentively after her death, it appears.
I’m thinking if he killed while he traveled, those murders weren’t the same. They were quicker, different methods, careful dump sites. On top of that, he may not have too many news clippings for anything “on the road” because he may not have had access to it. Maybe website searches. I feel like none of that will come out though, unless there is a conviction. My opinion here.
I’m willing to bet the offer of a lot of money for one date was the factor that took the girls out of their safety zone. It certainly seems that way from what we do know. I’ve always believed he had met them before so maybe he remembered them talking about situations in their lives and he exploited it. I really think he played super innocent to get close. To get trust. Then he offers a big payday and, since they knew him from before, they took it. That’s just my opinion, but I think it fits.

Cherries is estimated to be a little bit larger than known LISK victims. I still think that she's potentially LISK/RH. It's difficult to know what his true preferences were, based on his "small is good," jmo. And agreed, I wouldn't necessarily expect clippings for Cherries. Whereas "everyone" in the region was aware of the Gilgo victims, how likely "everyone" would similarly be aware of Cherries?

Clippings would be too strong a "tell," jmo, for Cherries. But I'd still strongly suspect him of her murder.

He was bold enough to mention the Gilgo cases to Nikkie Brass, in my opinion showing he was more than willing to take that very measured risk in light of the widespread interest in these cases. Would he have been bold enough to mention Cherries, even if he murdered her? I doubt it.

What exactly makes him choose the victims?
RH is a large and imposing guy, and many of his victims were much shorter and ≤1/2 or maybe even 1/3 of his weight. There's also the fact that all identified victims were prostitutes, whose safety is callously disregarded by society. That's possibly just about as vulnerable as a victim could get.

Cherries seems to have been taller than most victims, but I've considered the speculation that she was a FoTB immigrant who'd only recently arrived in the States, and have thought about the possibility that the perp took advantage of her unfamiliarity and possible nonfluency in English.

I’m not linking because I don’t think Reddit is an approved source, but a woman claiming that she was linked to Cherries through DNA and was interviewed by LE did an AMA recently. Take it with a grain of salt but it’s encouraging!
