Police Off The Cuff

Two suspects arrested in the murder of Houston 12 year old. The two illegal immigrant suspects charged with strangling 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray to death this week had "lured" her under a bridge in Houston before tying her up and killing her, prosecutors allege in new court documents obtained by Fox News. Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, each face capital murder charges, and prosecutors are requesting that their bail be set at $1 million. "In this case the defendant lured a 12-year-old under a bridge, where he and his co-defendant remained with her for over 2 hours, took her pants off, tied her up, and killed her, then threw her body into the bayou," Harris County Assistant District Attorney Michael Abner wrote. On Thursday, Fox News reported that the two suspects from Venezuela had entered the U.S. illegally before being released from custody. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson confirmed the news on Friday, saying in a statement t

Kansas moms case, 5 of God's misfits in a crowded hearing. #TifanyAdams #paulgrice #tadcullum Defendants accused of killing two Kansas mothers appeared in court Wednesday as attorneys noted a key piece of evidence is still missing from discovery. The five suspects are accused of killing Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley, two mothers who were driving from Kansas to Oklahoma for a supervised visit with Butler’s children. At one point, nine deputies, seven defense attorneys and three prosecutors were present in the courtroom. All five defendants were also present in what the judge called a “physical arrangement [that] is unprecedented in this courtroom’s history and this courthouse.” The courtroom had been outfitted to accommodate all the defendants, using space in the jury box to sit all those who needed to be present. Delays in discovery Tifany Adams, 54; her boyfriend Tad Cullum, 43; Cora Twombly, 44; her husband Cole Twombly, 50; and Paul Grice, 31, are accused of conspiring to commit murder. Investigators s

The attorney's of Gilgo Beach, who do they represent in this case? #rexheuermann #raytierney #JohnRay #RobertMacedonio #VessMitev #GloriaAllred #michaelbrown An attorney suggested during today’s press conference that cannibalism may have been involved in the Gilgo Beach killings. John Ray, who represents the family of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of 10 sets of remains, said the “new and important evidence” regarding Heuermann’s family was recently uncovered. Heuermann’s estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, filed for divorce in July 2023 after he was charged, but has still shown up at several of his hearings. News of the evidence comes exactly a week after Heuermann, 60, was arraigned on murder charges in the 2003 dismemberment death of Jessica Taylor, 20, and the 1993 death of Sandra Costilla, 28. Ellerup and the couple’s two children were out of state at the time of the hearing, according to their attorney, Robert Macedonio, but were expected to be back this week. The Manhattan architect

Arrest made in Murder of Maryland mother of five Rachel Morin. #RachelMorin #HarfordCountySheriff #VictorAntonioMartinezHernandez An arrest has been made in the murder of Rachel Morin, according to Maryland authorities. The Harford County Sheriff's Office announced Saturday that Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, a citizen of El Salvador, was apprehended in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the crime late Friday night. The 37-year-old mother of five was last seen on Aug. 5 when she left for a walk on the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail in Bel Air, Maryland, at 6 p.m. Her boyfriend reported her missing later that night when she never returned home, and her body was found near the trail less than 24 hours later. Her death was later determined to be a homicide. Eleven days later, the sheriff's office said that a DNA sample found at the crime scene was a match to a man wanted for a home invasion and an assault of a 9-year-old girl in Los Angeles. Authorities released surveillance video of the unknown male, but they weren't able to

Analyzing the case against Victoria Heuerman, connected to LISK? #rexheuermann #gilgobeach #serialkiller Visit the Police off the Cuff website policeoffthecuff676.com An attorney for possible victims of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer revealed "demonic" details about Rex Heuermann's daughter and her penchant for "sadistic" artwork that depict scenes similar to how the women on Long Island died. Attorney John Ray held a press conference on Thursday to share the chilling information about Victoria Heuermann, the daughter of Rex Heuermann, and the eerie similarities her art has to the murders her father has been charged with. Ray showed a series of sadistic images that Victoria Heuermann created herself and artwork by others that she re-posted to her Tumblr. He compared these images to the alleged Gilgo Beach murders, making specific references to how body parts are dismembered, the family's house and other cannibalistic fantasies.

If Rex Heuermann wasn't arrested would he have continued to kill? #rexheuermann #gilgobeach #serialkiller — Since the spring of this year, investigators looking into the Gilgo Beach serial killings case have been operating on the theory that the suspect, Rex Heuermann, committed the killings in his Massapequa Park, New York, home. A source involved in the investigation told CNN the fact that the disappearances occurred during times his family was out of town suggests he may have lured victims to the Long Island home. Investigators believe committing the killings at home would have given Heuermann control of the environment and access to materials that were found at the crime scene, including tape and burlap bags, the source said. One of the reasons the search of the suspect’s home has taken so long is because investigators are also combing for trace evidence that may be linked to the victims, multiple sources said. (CNN)

Ray Tierney presents the planning document regarding Rex Heuermann. A Microsoft Word document with 87 disturbing details has come to light, shedding more insight into the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer's organized plans for how to murder including supplies such as cat litter and tarps, dump site locations, recon reports, and body prep. This new evidence emerged as the district attorney's office charged Heuermann with two additional murders on Thursday. New digital evidence revealed Heuermann had a "significant collection of violent, bondage, and torture pornography" dating back to 1994, according to court records obtained by Newsweek. The images include breast mutilation, vaginal torture, the sexualization of decapitated women and bondage. These "notably and largely coincide with how the remains" of two of the victims were discovered in the decades-long search. A hard drive recovered from Heuermann's basement hosted a Microsoft Word document called "HK2002-04," which appears t

Gilgo Serial killer Rex Heuermann charged with murders 5, and 6. Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann kept meticulous notes on his kills — including reminders for future murders like “hit harder” and to get more sleep to have more “play time,” prosecutors revealed Thursday — as he was charged with two more slayings. Heuermann, 60, who is accused of killing multiple women and leaving their remains scattered along Long Island’s Ocean Parkway, appeared in court Thursday morning and pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges for the 1993 death of Sandra Costilla and the 2003 killing of Jessica Taylor. He nodded along as Suffolk County prosecutors read aloud from an alleged “planning document” recovered from a computer in his Massapequa Park home that they say served as a “blueprint” for his twisted crimes and showed his “obvious” intention to kill the women.

Two More victim's in Gilgo Beach serial killer case #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostilla #ValerieMack #rexheuermann Suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has been charged with the brutal murders of two more women. Heuermann, 60, was back in court on Thursday morning where he was arraigned on murder charges in the 2003 dismemberment death of Jessica Taylor, 20, and the 1993 death of Sandra Costilla, 28. “We know that criminals in general...their modus operandi can change through the course of their life,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said on Thursday. “There was no dismemberment with regard to the original four, but there is with regard to Ms Taylor.” The Manhattan architect has already been charged with the 2009 and 2010 murders of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Lynn Costello and Maureen Brainard-Barnes — known as the “Gilgo Four.” He pleaded not guilty. The charges come days after Gilgo Beach Task Force investigators completed a second search of Heuermann’s home in Massapequa

Chad Daybell receives the death penalty, in the Doomsday murders. An Idaho judge on Saturday sentenced a man to death, two days after he was found guilty of first-degree murder and other charges in the 2019 killings of his first wife and two of his current wife’s children, capping a case that drew scrutiny because of the couple’s “doomsday” religious beliefs. The decision came after jurors took more than a day to deliberate during the special sentencing proceeding in the case against the man, Chad Daybell, 55, in Ada County District Court in Boise, Idaho. Earlier on Saturday, the jury had recommended the death penalty before the judge ordered a short recess to make a final sentencing decision. As the judge, Steven W. Boyce of the Seventh Judicial District, read his decision, Mr. Daybell sat with his hands in his lap, expressionless at the defense table. Defense lawyers did not have any questions when asked by the judge. (NY Times)
