00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Crime Alert hourly update, breaking crime news Now.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: I'm Jackie. Howard rex Huerman was originally arrested and charged

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: in the depths of what the press dubbed the GILG

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: I Melissa Bartholemy Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Marine Brainerd Barnes.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: A year later, Heureman is now charged with second degree

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: murders in the killings of two more women found in

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: the same area as the GILG four, Jessica Taylor and

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: Sandra Castilla. Investigators seized several electronic devices from Huerman's home

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: after his arrest, including a laptop with a secret word

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: document entitled h K two thousand and two four that

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: investigators say is a blueprint for the architect's murders. But

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: what is more disturbing is that the investigators think the

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: alleged serial killer rex Huerman, may have kept his victims

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: alive to inflict pain and torture on them for days.

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: Investigators using calendars for Heroman's family to determine when rex

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: Heurelman had the house all to himself while his wife

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: and children are not home, and comparing those dates to dates,

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: if some of it to dates some of his alleged

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: victims went missing. Here's Ray Tierney, Suffolk County District Attorney.

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: That was discovered on a laptop in unallocated space, meaning

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: there was an attempt to erase that document. But as

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: most forensic experts know that, even when a document is

23
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: erased on a device, it is the user cannot access

24
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: could no longer access to that document, but forensic experts

25
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: using particular software can retrieve it, and this document was

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: retrieved in this case.

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: The task force calls the document recovered from Heureman's laptop

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: a planning document.

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: It is a stomach churning document mapping out them and

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: even includes a things to remember section as well as

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 4: a section titled lessons learned. This document that Huerman tries

32
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: to delete lays out a roadmap of the murders of

33
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: six women dating back to nineteen ninety three, including the

34
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: decapitation and mutilation of the last two victims linked to Huerman.

35
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: That's crime on lines Drew Nelson. A forensic investigation showed

36
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: Heuerman updated the document by deleting and overwriting previous notes

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: and probably assumed previous notes and plans were deleted. Also

38
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: recovered was Heureman's porn collection once again, Ray Tierney.

39
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: Jerman had a significant collection of violent bondage and torture

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: pornography which was dating back to nineteen ninety four, and

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: that material was very similar to the condition that the

42
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: two latest victims were left in. In addition to that,

43
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 3: it is alleged that the pornographic images that were accessed

44
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: by Yerman are consistent with the crime scenes of both

45
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: Sandra Cristia and Jessica tem heret He.

46
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: Says the remains of Jessica Taylor and Sandra Cristilla showed

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: evidence of torture. Christilla's buddy showed evidence of mutilation, and

48
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Taylor was dismembered.

49
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: You want to know who the painter is, look at

50
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: the painting, and that is something that Douglas used to

51
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: tell his investigators, and that pertains specifically to, if you

52
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: want to know who committed the crime, look at the

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: crime scene and the condition of the victim. And again,

54
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: if you do that in this case, we would allege

55
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: that the crime scene and the victims match very much

56
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: with a lot of the first off, the document that

57
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: we found, and also a lot of the defendant's Internet

58
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: activities and the bondage and torture type of pornography that

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: he was interested in.

60
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,040
