Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 3 murders, July 2023 #4

[fred&edna]

A very close buddy of mine is related to someone that is VERY close to Burke. Said person was in the works with Burke to get my buddy and I onto Suffolk PD (A LOT of NEPOTISM is involved with all public jobs around here) , but that was derailed when burke was arrested. I am kicking myself in the *advertiser censored* for being a long time lurker but never actually creating a profile and commenting on Burke. Because some of the theories I have heard about him over the years on these threads are just way way off in my opinion.

From everything my buddy has told me about burke in my opinion he's not involved with this.
Again this is all my opinion. Burke is a typical Long Island "public servant" on steroids. Overpaid, underworked and thought he was untouchable. He carelessly gave car that had his gun in it to a prostitute for Christ sake, not something a careful killer would do. Beating up a suspect in NY has strong entrenched unions that help cops (and teachers) get away with just about anything (I had a teacher in my HS that was having sex with student. proof and pics up the gazoo and union helped him continue to get paid for almost 3 years from the school) . So, it gets to many's heads that they are untouchable. Burke was a playboy/cowboy. He did drugs, was caught up in all types of corruption and schemes but I highly doubt he was involved with Rex. He fought off FBI help not because he was involved with the murder but because he didn't want them looking into him. With the FBI around he would have to straighten up.

Just a little James Burke background. No wonder he thought he was "untouchable"... apparently, he was for many years.

Specifically, an internal affairs report from 18 years ago shows that then-Sergeant Burke was attached romantically to a convicted prostitute and drug dealer named Lowrita Rickenbacker. All of her multiple arrests had happened in the precinct in which Burke was a supervisor, but he still claimed to internal affairs investigators that he’d had no knowledge of her criminal history.

Suffolk police investigators concluded that, in 1993, then-Sergeant Burke had a months-long relationship with the prostitution and drug dealing convict, and had on one occasion even left her alone in his car with his gun belt and service weapon in the back seat. The internal affairs report, obtained by Newsday, also substantiated that Burke had, at least once, engaged in a sexual act with Rickenbacker in his patrol car.

After internal affairs probed Burke’s relationship with Lowrita Rickenbacker and substantiated it through testimony and lie detector tests of her and then-Sergeant Burke, it is not at all clear that Burke was disciplined.

Instead, in 2000, five years after the probe was completed, Burke was promoted to lieutenant. Then, in 2002, he was named chief of detectives by District Attorney Spota. In 2012, Burke was named Suffolk County police chief.

Gilgo Beach suspect could have ties to Atlantic City

Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann could have ties to Atlantic City, police have said.

Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann could have ties to Atlantic City, police have said.

Cops are probing whether the 59-year-old Long Island resident operated in the New Jersey area, and have been interviewing jailed sex workers who interacted with him.

'He had reached out to them for sex,' Sheriff Errol Toulon from the Suffolk County police department told Good Morning America about the prostitutes officials have talked to. 'They took the calls but did not meet with him.'

The investigation now covers four states - Heuermann owns a time-share in Las Vegas and a property in South Carolina - and police are investigating if he could be connected to any unsolved killings there.

where the women in AC shot? I don't see RH driving through NYC and NJ with a firearm and taking that risk, besides he probably derived pleasure from being hands-on.

Maybe those are the "certain photos" shown to his wife

Typically the photos shown are not too graphic or gruesome. If I had to guess, the photos were likely just surveillance photos of him with other SW and/or his tinder profile showing proof of his unknown second life to his wife and explaining to her theirs alot you don’t know about your husband, etc. They rarely tip their hand (just in case she passes along info to the defense atty or her husband)

Atlantic City is so close to New York that I've wondered if RH perhaps did not do business there, or at least pitch some business there -- or at least pretend to his wife that he did. He could tell his family he was entertaining a potential client, he could attend the conventions -- there are so many story possibilities an architect with his own business could tell his wife to justify him spending an occasional long weekend or a few days a month in AC.

I don't agree. Driving wise Foxwood/Mohegan & AC are about 3 hours. Even if you take the ferry to CT you don't save that much time. I have done it multiple times still takes about 3 hours. Just no traffic. its a 1:45 car ride just from Massapequa to the orient point ferry. AC has much more entertainment. not to long ago from 21 to about 25 My friends and I started going to casinos more for birthdays and just to have fun.
AC is much more entertainment. Especially for guys. AC strip clubs are full nude and open until 6AM as well and BYOB. AC is the first time in my life I saw sex workers actually walking the streets. There's way more people and casinos in AC. there's also the boardwalk and other attractions. Foxwoods/mohegan are pretty boring. the clubs close at 1am. there's nothing to do once you leave the casino's. None of us ever liked going there. It

the main point of that post was the fact Maureen worker at those casinos not a battle of which casino is more fun. He was obviously after a different kind of “entertainment” . Casinos in general attract the worst of people

yup, he's just a loose cannon cop who cant keep his pecker or nose clean. He's more of a hunter biden type than a calculated controlling serial killer. I know another NYPD cop just like him but on a smaller scale.

For those who may have missed this (like me) bit of information:

• Some other points from sheriff about life in jail: -Rex is in an isolated cell, not solitary confinement -Two correctional officers monitor him at all times -He's eating normally, no extreme change in behavior -He's on suicide watch -He has had no visitors
• My report last night on @BanfieldonNN about the movement of police vehicles outside #RexHeuermann's home + the latest updates on Rex's behavior while in jail. The Sheriff tells me he sleeps a lot & seems to be reflecting. Rex has a TV but isn't watching the news.

Isn't watching the news?
I wonder.
Can't see Sheriff disclosing that kind of information to media.

#BREAKINGNEWS: Three law enforcement sources tell @CBSNews investigators believe one or more of the #GilgoBeach murders that #RexHeuermann is charged with took place in the #MassapequaPark house he shares with his wife & kids.

Investigators looking into whether any of the Gilgo Beach murder victims may have been killed at home suspect shared with his family

Rex Heuermann may have killed at least one young woman at the Long Island house he shares with his wife and two adult children, sources told CBS News.

www.cbsnews.com

Let hope this means more than just blood stains were found on a tile in the house and that the mattress, couch cushions, etc had traceable dna from one or all of the girls in or on it. Sounds like it IS traceable directly to one of the three girls he charged with killing.

It would be game over and an open and shut case if that’s true - but I hope they don’t stop digging just cause they have enough to put him away for life - I hope they canvas the whole country looking to connect the dots between RH and missing or deceased woman.

In 2014, then-18-year-old Aaliyah Bell went missing from a Rock Hill, S.C. home just two days before Thanksgiving.

Aaliyah Bell was 18 when she went missing Nov. 25, 2014, after leaving her uncle’s Rock Hill home.

Rock Hill police said so far there is no indication that leads investigators to identify Heuermann as a suspect in Bell’s disappearance. The investigation continues and authorities said they will follow up on all tips and leads.

Bell was leaving her uncle’s home on Chestnut Street around 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2014. She never made it back to the Confederate Avenue house where she was living with her godmother.

There were possible sightings of Bell at hotels or apartment complexes in Columbia, S.C., as well as Charlotte. All the women thought to be her were located.

The Gilgo Beach murders rattled the Long Island suburb for more than a decade as the bodies of four women were found. Detectives in New York located suspected killer Heuerman, as well as a reported 200 guns he had not only in his home but found during the search of storage facilities in New York.

In S.C., the Chester County Sheriff’s Office was asked by the Gilgo Beach task force to assist in gathering evidence in Chester County.

On Tuesday, a wrapped vehicle on the back of a tow truck was acknowledged by officials who addressed the media, but there was not a lot of information given about it.

Rex Heuermann ‘very comfortable,’ ‘compliant’ in jail: sheriff

Heuermann, 59, was arrested on multiple murder charges last week.

nypost.com

…

“He’s in the cell by himself, he’s receiving all the services that any other person who’s incarcerated will receive,” Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon told WCBS 880 on Wednesday.

“It seems like he’s very comfortable in his cell and his surroundings. He’s indicated to my staff that he would not be any issue to us and would be extremely compliant, so we’ll see how that plays out in the days and weeks ahead,” he added.

 

[CuriousCricket]

Prob if he actually did business, but he could attend or PRETEND to attend conventions and shows of all types, to entertain clients (even when he traveled alone). The point is that AC is so close to NY City and so well known for its entertainment that a lying, cheating, murdering husband could make up a thousand stories about why he was going to spend a few days there -- and NOT a single story has to be truthful. Same for traveling over to the Connecticut casinos. The cover story is most likely a lie to the wife for him to have an opportunity to indulge his hobby.

what if they find DNA from other victims not of the four or even 11? that house must be a forensics nightmare. mOO

I have a hard time believing they would show her anything like that

Fortunately it sounds like (aside from the women RH may have taken there) basically no outsiders were allowed to enter the house, which should make identifying unknown DNA sources slightly easier.

I'm guessing they will be able to charge him with MBB after the house. The belt with the initials seems to be associated with her and the jpg has "barnes" on it.

why would any of them be bound with belts unless the belt was grabbed in haste to restrain someone in a struggle? Tape, rope, lots of things would seem preferable to a monogrammed belt.

I shudder to think about the permutations of these crimes.

If his wife was traveling, where were the daughter and step-son? I know we can't sleuth the family, but I really wonder how he would pull this off and get everyone out of the house.

JMVHO.

I agree. Whatever pictures they showed the wife, they were shown at the same time as RH was being arrested in Manhattan.
