What the mother does even though seeming to be denial and simply an oh all is fine (denial) who wants pie kind of persona, is seemingly innocent and passive. However, in its way it is so dangerous and contributed I would think to an atmosphere of no matter what he did, it would all be ignored and a surface picture would be maintained without question. This didn't happen, that didn't happen, or if faced to see it did happen, one minute later we will forget it, sweep it under our Bundy rug, and it's gone, never to be brought out again and now let's go get some dinner shall we? The perfect son and no matter what he did, he wash still perfect. In some way it almost would make one think did he keep pushing the boundaries to see if no matter what, he wash still perfect. He was a surface acting person too, all polished, friendly, etc. right, while underneath that Bundy rug, he is evil personified. I don't know what I am saying except there is something there. due to the mother, etc. Not an EXCUSE but a knowing he coudln't go too far as to where she was concerned or a testing of if anything would shake her belief in her perfect son?
So was this brother we see now also considered perfect? Were the sisters?
Clearly this was a cover up family, concerned about what society would think which is ironic. Concealing an out of wedlock birth, a rape of a sister, torture of cats, etc., that isn't denial even I don't think, it is a way of doing things probably well instilled from at least the grandparents on down, probably expected and even demanded. We aren't any psych experts but she probably felt a lot of guilt over Ted and the fact she got pregnant with him and couldn't be his "known" mother? I assume the adoption was by his grandparents you mean? I seem to recall that...
None of it excuses or even explains of course what Ted was. I sense in Crybaby Shrek's case there is something in that family too. It just nags at me, just the surface facts. There is such little info which I find interesting like on his father dying, and how, and how his mother raised them after. Apparent his father (and mother or just father?) lived with his parents (grandparents) as adults in the Long Island home and more.... His father died young and there is no hint his mother ever remarried. How did she support and raise her children? If I recall correctly, an obit could be found on the grandfather but not on the father. An aerospace engineer and a carpenter. I'm very tired and very befuddled lol, went to bed at 9 and up at midnght, I can't even recover when I finally get a day off after working six long ones but do we even know if his parents were married?? I think we do because there are siblings so they must have been, etc. but I am just saying there's such a lack of info. This is a HUGE case and with all the sleuths out there, nothing much has come out or been found out about his father's death, more info on his brother in SC who had the vehicle, etc. It is all so ODD. One thing I do know is that house has never changed hands or been sold and not been in the hands of a Heurman for decades on end if EVER since it was built.. Until now at least. He may still own it but it is now occupied by his wife, not a blood Heurman male...
I'm sidetracking but not really since this is an SK thread. We started with Rader and came to Bundy and now I am talking Shrek. LOL.
And much more evidence to be revealed. This has quieted down. Just wait. Calm before the storm. IMO There is alot more to this guy, And the extent I believe he could be responsible for. There's too much blank space. Uh uh. Serial killers normally take extremely extended cooling off periods. He's going to make LE find all the evidence. He's not going to volunteer a thing..
