Long Island Serial Killer ‘cherry-picked’ Gilgo Beach victims for personal goal

THE Long Island serial killer carefully chose his victims for personal gratification, targeting a vulnerable population of women, two forensic psychologists have said. It’s been 13 years sinc…

''Forensic psychologist Dr. John Delatorre agreed when asked if the serial killer cherry-picked his victims.
"They're picked for a specific purpose," he exclusively told The U.S. Sun.''
Delatorre said that while the killer may have frequented places where prostitutes advertise or may have even purchased sex before, it wasn't someone who was just trying to get rid of them because they were escorts.

"I think this individual has a specific target in mind," the expert said.

Delatorre explained that the killer may have been trying to find someone that closely matched another person that they weren't able to harm.

"They are an easy target, but I highly doubt that that's the only reason why [the killer] is choosing sex workers," the expert said.

"Now it's possible that whoever's doing this has a specific victim in mind but for whatever reason, they can't get to that victim, so they use a proxy.''

Interesting to me that the toddler who was found very close to Valerie Mack is not included on these maps, nor is the Toddler's now-confirmed mother, "Peaches" who was found at the opposite end of the map, west from Amber Lynn.

EXCLUSIVE: Drone footage shows cops combing 'serial killer' backyard

A fleet of forensic investigators descended on the backyard of suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann on Friday, hoping to find further evidence linking him to the grisly slayings.

Unfortunately killers are ordinary people which is an advantage to them, This is an interesting article about Hannah Arendt, Eichmann’s trial and her famous quote regarding the banality of evil

I think this reference is so telling.

As Arendt observed about Eichmann, evil can be ordinary. Eichmann was not prone to yell Nazi slogans, he was not inherently violent, he never personally harmed anybody. Yet, he coordinated the deaths of millions via train scheduling.

Rex Heurmann reminds me of Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas rampage shooter:

- Both were self important- but not grandiose. Both liked to be waited on and give to receive attention- but were not exploitive. Both were condescending towards others- but were not cruel. Both were shallow- but still capable of having family relationships.

In short, and in conjunction with your quote, outwardly both men were / are banal low to mid level jerks in their every day lives. We have all known such people though family, work, or school. The vast majority never kill anybody.

Yet, some of these banal types become rampagers, serial killers, or, in the case of Eichmann, the holocaust logistics coordinator.

Video shows Long Island serial killer suspect taken into custody

The moment that plain clothes NYPD officers apprehended serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann on a crowded Midtown Manhattan street was caught on camera.

That video of him getting arrested is wild. They completely surround him

SBM. Not to mention his vast collection of firearms.

I hope they find those soon, that’s a lot of guns to hide from all those cops
Gilgo Beach murders: Rex Heuermann charged with 3 counts of first-degree murder
Heuermann has permits for 92 firearms, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney said.
The weapons were yet to be accounted for, he said, but they might be found under a number of search warrants to be filed or executed in the case.
Tierney suggested at Friday's news conference that the guns are in a safe at Heuermann's Long Island home.
"He has a very large safe in which guns are kept," he said. "We’re continuing to execute search warrants, so I’m sure we’ll have that answer shortly."

All of them?!?

IMO he was both dumb and he got lazy. He's gotten away with these killings for so many years he most likely thought he'd never be caught.

I really thought the killer was meticulous and cunning to the extent that these cases would never be solved. It's apparent that he's in the same category of BTK and Zodiac, he wasn't brilliant he was just lucky. It blows me away how sloppy he was. Zodiac probably could've been solved but the lack of cooperation between the police departments pretty much put a monkey wrench in the possibility of him being caught. SFPD could possibly have a DNA match but they apparently don't want to spend the money and it's it now on the permanent back burner. Yeah, I agree it's obvious that he thought he'd gotten away with it, considering he was still trolling for victims. He didn't figure in that DNA and phone forensic technology was steadily improving. Just like BTK. Damn glad they finally caught this arrogant monster.

Couldn't do anything else. They're walking on a busy street. With a dozen or so surrounding him, he doesn't get the opportunity to break away and run or grab one of the many citizens walking past to use as a hostage. This guy had a lot of guns. They chose to arrest him then and there so that there was the least chance of a firearm coming into play. So, not at his home, in his office, or in his car. I know it looks nuts to swarm him like that with literally a stream of members of the public walking around them, sometimes even bumping right into them, but it makes perfect sense to me.

MOO

That's all these guys are. They aren't brilliant masterminds, they're regular people with an aberrant taste for violence who just get lucky for far longer than they should.

MY boyfriend's dad was a regular architect in NYC and often told my bf about how arcane and confusing NYC building codes and zoning laws are; someone like this guy would have to be consulted as an expert at each step of the designing process.

True! I live in Manhattan in a place built in the 1920s. We had some discrepancies about work to be done many years ago and had to go back to arcane records and documents to resolve it. The neighbors got together and had a consultant assist us - he probably did similar work at RW I suppose.

STILL, even if not a creative, snazzy architect, the serial killer was an educated professional and even if mid-level salary, he still let his house go unmaintained. Not sure why that is offensive for people to see. It's no reflection on anyone but him.

Oh my god I'm trying to catch up, he was stalking people recently?!
I'd personally say there are certainly more victims MOO. I doubt he just stopped circa 2011/2012. SKs cannot control themselves that long. Especially killing like what, 16, 17 people we know of in his frame of time potentially, he ain't stopping unless police or death stops him

I'm wondering if it's his killing season - he seems to strike in summer months when family members are away.

Thank you for your informative post, I think your assessments are probably correct. In between the murders he worked hard for the money.

Suspect in Gilgo Beach Killings Led a Life of Chaos and Control
According to the timeline released by prosecutors and to Buildings Department and court records, Mr. Heuermann kept up his busy work schedule even as victims were vanishing.

In 2009, prosecutors said, after killing Melissa Barthelemy, a 24-year-old who worked as an escort, Mr. Heuermann made a series of taunting calls to her family, during lunchtime and after work hours, from locations near his office.

In June 2010, about two weeks after Megan Waterman, a 22-year-old from Maine, was last seen alive, Mr. Heuermann filed an application to install a new fire escape at a building in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. In August of that year, he filed an application to repair the terra cotta and repoint the bricks in a building on the Upper West Side, nine days before Amber Lynn Costello, 27, disappeared near her home a few miles from Mr. Heuermann’s.

On March 9, 2022, as the investigative dragnet was tightening, Mr. Heuermann was writing a typically detailed letter to a lawyer concerning a project on West 71st Street:

“It appears that from my walk though, the drain line is above the interior floor slab and if the trench drain is placed below this level, it would not be able to drain by gravity,” he wrote. “I would strongly recommend an investigation into the use of negative side waterproofing at this site.”

This is great. I've been wondering how the murders coincide with what he was doing for work at the time. Do the murders relieve stress on the job, are they a celebration of a job accomplished? Seem like they might simply be something to do when alone at home? idk

All of them?!?

I had trouble posting for awhile and somehow you got a partial post haha.
Hopefully they’ve gotten into his gun safe by now and will make a report on it soon!

 

[LadyL]

Someone posted some info about Heuermann's grandfather's initials being WH and I'm inclined to believe it was his. The initials viewed upside down. Why he would use it in the commission of one of the murders is beyond me.

well because he was wearing it and it was convenient IMO although I wonder if it was big enough for him

 

[Sundog]

I assumed that too based on photos at his house released by the press this morning but now I can’t find those photos. Maybe he bought another black car?
I’m guessing he gave or sold the murder car to his brother in SC. Jmo

Here is a photo from the Daily Mail of the truck that was removed from RH's house by LE.

Again, Shannan Gilbert was not running from Rex’s house the night I BELIVE she was captured while running away and murdered. She said “they” were trying to kill her. Brewer was in real estate and grew up on Long Island as well right? I would be looking into any connection between he and Rex. Any. This goes deeper.

Someone mentioned the interview with Rex seeming off. As if the interviewer knew something. Particularly when the interviewer asked something along the lines of whether Rex was known for anything other than architecture/buildings. That smirk. I’m convinced these two met on the dark web. The interviewer knows something. I’ve even questioned if videos of the victims exist somewhere on the dark web. Who knows. This guy didn’t seem particularly tech savvy. Then again to contradict my last statement Architecture does take a bit of technical prowess.

FWIW, the French man who interviewed RW has a youtube channel with 70 other videos. I think he was wearing a scarf during the RW interview because the weather was not nice - and he's French! I'm not seeing the interview as a set up by LE.

I don't see any uniformed police - just plain clothes men that are way smaller and shorter than him - I hope they had backup closeby

was there a dozen or so? I only saw like 3 or 4

I think many of the people on the sidewalk are also cops. It's a beautifully executed arrest, imo.
