Newsday is reporting that Gilgo Beach Task Force investigators say Rex Heuermann had a “persistent interest” in the case before his arrest, visiting a police website at key points in the investigation and saving decades-old news articles as souvenirs or mementos of his alleged crimes.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said the findings are the result of a pair of search warrants executed at Heuermann’s Massapequa Park home and Manhattan office.
