Summary
A deleted file recovered from Rex Heuermann's basement allegedly contains the Long Island Serial Killer's step-by-step methodology. According to prosecutors, eighty-seven details match how the Gilgo Beach victims were killed.
The document—titled HK2002-04—was found on one of fifty-eight hard drives seized from the Massapequa Park home. Created in 2000 and modified through 2002, it allegedly contained sections for supplies, body preparation, and "lessons learned."
According to court documents: A "Supplies" section allegedly listed cutting tools, acid, tarps, and cat litter. A "Body Prep" section allegedly stated: "remove head and hands, remove ID marks like tattoos." A "Things to Remember" section allegedly contained: "Hit harder... light rope broke under stress." The document allegedly referenced specific pages in FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter.
Jessica Taylor's remains were found along Ocean Parkway with her head removed and tattoos mutilated. DA Ray Tierney stated: "The exact method by which these murders were committed in excruciating detail in that document is in some cases identical to the methodology used to murder the victims."
Twenty-seven years under the same roof produced two completely opposite conclusions. Rex Heuermann's wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero" and described jail visits as feeling like "a first date." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer" after speaking with BTK's daughter about having an alleged killer for a father.
According to prosecutors, female hairs found on multiple victims were allegedly consistent with DNA from both women. Neither is accused of involvement—the transfer allegedly came from Rex's clothing or their home.
The daughter saw what the wife cannot. Both are victims of different truths.
Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Trial is September 2026.

| 0:16.2 | Among 58 hard drives seized from the basement of Rex Yermans, Massapequa Park Home, |
| 0:26.1 | forensic analysis found something that would become the centerpiece of the prosecution's case. |
| 0:35.2 | A file hidden in what's called unalloticated space. What is unalloticated space? Basically, |
| 0:41.1 | when you're on your computer and you delete something and you take it to the recycling bin or the |
| 0:46.4 | trash bin and then you empty it, all right. It's gone, right? It's no longer visible to you through that interface if you wanted to try and pull it up. |
| 0:58.6 | But is it truly off your computer? |
| 1:03.4 | No. |
| 1:04.4 | It is still there until the drive overwrites it. |
| 1:09.2 | You basically are telling that computer that you can use this space again |
| 1:14.6 | when you need it. So when you need to save something else, we're done with this, you can shovel this out |
| 1:21.1 | and take it and you can use it. It's going to be a lot of kidded back to you when you want to use it. |
| 1:27.9 | Well, this was not overwritten yet. |
| 1:29.8 | It was still on the drive, and investigators found it. |
| 1:34.3 | Meaning someone had tried to delete it. |
| 1:40.6 | And didn't really think that you could get it any other way. |
