Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann is “not as intelligent as he perceives himself to be,” the top prosecutor said in the wake of the shocking reveal of an alleged killing spree “blueprint” found in his home.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney noted that the so-called “blueprint,” which was uncovered on a computer in Heuermann’s home, was riddled with spelling errors.
“I think, probably, [Heuermann] is not as intelligent as he perceives himself to be,” Tierney said in an interview on “Top Story with Tom Llamas” on Thursday evening, hours after prosecutors charged Heuermann with two more slayings.
“I think that, you know, he perceives himself a certain way. And, you know, his obsession, first and foremost, is this preoccupation with luring and hunting women and murdering them,” he suggested.
Heuermann, 60, appeared in court Thursday morning and pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder – this time for the 1993 killing of Sandra Costilla and the 2003 death of Jessica Taylor.
During the proceedings, prosecutors unveiled the “blueprint” for his alleged killing spree – which included notes on sexual torture and how to clean up after the gruesome crime.
