Overview
- A new prosecution filing says Rex Heuermann used burner phones to reach dozens of sex workers more than 500 times in the two years before his 2023 arrest.
- Call logs show one burner phone contacted 56 sex workers or massage parlors over 300 times and dialed 61 prostitution-related numbers more than 220 times.
- Investigators point to a Tinder profile under aliases including Andrew Roberts, Thomas Hawk and “Andy,” which they say was used to communicate with sex workers.
- Prosecutors attribute thousands of Gmail searches to Heuermann, including more than 100 queries about the Gilgo investigation and serial killers as well as violent pornography.
- The filing argues these records establish identity and a consistent modus operandi; the defense seeks suppression, the judge rules March 17, and trial is expected to start after Labor Day.
