Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann charged in two more murders after twisted ‘planning document’ uncovered
NY Post
Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann was charged Thursday morning with the murders of two additional women after it was revealed that a series of disturbing “planning documents” were discovered on a hard drive in his home — with the alleged killer nodding as prosecutors read in court the twisted instructions, which included to hit the victim “harder next time”
The 60-year-old father of two, who appeared in court Thursday morning, was tied to the 1993 murder of Sandra Costilla and the 2003 death of Jessica Taylor through DNA from male hair found on the remains of both victims, prosecutors wrote in his Suffolk County bail application.
Prosecutors revealed that they discovered a series of sickening “planning documents” that Heuermann allegedly used to map out his kills in a hard drive discovered in the basement of his Massapequa Park home, which was searched twice in the wake of his arrest last year for the murders of four young women, known as the “Gilgo Four.”
The disturbing lists included notes on potential or past dump sites and supplies he had on-hand to try and evade detection — and had titles such as “PROBLEMS” and “BODY PREP,” prosecutors said.
During his court appearance Thursday morning, Heuermann appeared to nod along when the prosecution read out an excerpt from his list that suggested he should “‘hit [the victim] harder next time.’”
One list marked “POST EVENT” included reminders to “change tires,” “burn gloves,” “dispose of pics [of victims],” and “have story set.”
