Accused Gilgo Killer Rex Heuermann kept stomach-churning notes surrounding the murders.
Suffolk District Attorney Ray Tierney spoke with News 12 ahead of the one-year anniversary of Heuermann’s arrest in the Gilgo serial killer case.
Tierney told the outlet that investigators are still combing through evidence which includes physical and digital evidence. The D.A. says Heuermann had hundreds of encrypted smart devices. Detectives are working to access the information on those devices.
The suspect was initially charged with the murders of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello.
The Suffolk County prosecutors unveiled that Heuermann, a New York City architect and family man, meticulously recorded the details of his vicious murders spanning back to 1993.
This included the decapitation and mutilation of victims, with additional charges recently added in connection to the slaying and dismemberment of more individuals.
The remains were found on Long Island.
One of the most chilling aspects of the planning document was Heuermann's indication to keep killing, with references to "next time," revealing his prior experience and the changes he envisaged for upcoming crimes.
The file meticulously detailed preparatory measures and disturbing notes on "body prep" and the selection of victims.
According to a bail application filed by prosecutors Thursday, Heuermann maintained a secret digital record titled “HK2002-2004” on his computer since at least 2000, keeping precise notes on the murders.
The digital document was broken up into specific sections such as “Problems,” “Supplies,” “TGR,” which prosecutors said are believed to be potential targets, and “DS,” allegedly for “dump sites.”
