Black ex-Marine allegedly threatened to gun down white people like a 'serial killer': 'NEVER understand my struggles'



A black former Marine remains in a New Jersey jail on a federal charge after he repeatedly threatened to kill white people en masse, the Department of Justice says.

'This is why people like me shoot people.'

From December 2022 until at least May 2023, 23-year-old Joshua Cobb of Trenton, New Jersey, repeatedly sent text messages and posted social media messages that threatened to harm white people, a DOJ press release indicated. The press release shared several messages reportedly written by Cobb that reveal a strong hatred for humanity in general and white people in particular.

The following are just some of the messages attributed to Cobb:

  • "I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason I specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles. Same way I will never understand their struggles, but I don’t care to. I want to erase them. All of them really, but in this case as many as I possibly can. As of today I have officially began planning my attack. ... I have not chosen a exact date but I am going to be sure it is close to an important holiday to their race."
  • "Tbh I hope I do progress into a serial killer because I f***ing hate life man. ... But one day everyone will suffer. I promise I will make everyone feel my f***ing pain. My deep, sincere, raw, & sharp pain."
  • "It’s all a f***ing game and you all are going to die. I currently lack the means necessary to kill as many as I intend to but one day I will have the available resources (finance) to purchase the appropriate weaponry for my killing(s)."
  • "I’m just leaving evidence for whoever investigates my case."

Some of those messages were allegedly sent via text. Others were allegedly shared on social media under the username 1dayUsuffer. No such account currently exists on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or X.

In speaking with law enforcement, Cobb allegedly admitted to writing at least some of the threatening messages and to planning a mass attack. He reportedly identified a Jersey Strong gym and an Aldi grocery store in Robbinsville, New Jersey, as two possible locations.

Cobb also reportedly expressed admiration for some white serial killers and indicated he felt a connection with them. He allegedly told investigators he respected the racist white shooter who gunned down black people in a Buffalo grocery store for his "element of surprise and style." He likewise claimed to have felt the white Parkland shooter's "pain."

When investigators told Cobb they would seize his digital devices, Cobb allegedly responded, "These are the things that make someone want to do the things we talked about." Cobb also allegedly told another Marine, "This is why people like me shoot people."

Cobb joined the Marines sometime in 2023 and completed basic training last June. He was stationed in California until he was discharged last week. He is believed to have made most, if not all, of the threatening messages from his home in New Jersey.

Cobb was arrested last Friday and charged with one count of transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce, a federal offense that carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and $250,000. He remains in custody at the Monmouth County jail without bond. He has another hearing scheduled for Friday.

Los Angeles authorities believe there is a serial killer on the loose



Los Angeles authorities believe there is a serial killer on the loose – who is responsible for the murders of three homeless people.

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an extensive search for a suspected serial killer who shot three homeless people in three separate attacks across the city. Police said all of the murders happened in the early morning hours over the course of a few days in November.

The first murder occurred at around 3:00 a.m. on Nov. 26 in an alley located in the southeast area of Los Angeles. Police identified the victim as Jose Vamos, a 37-year-old male.

The second murder occurred in Central Division around 5:00 a.m. on Nov. 27. The victim was identified as 62-year-old Mark Digs.

The third occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 29. The victim was said to be a 52-year-old male.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore said, "Each one was shot and killed as they slept" or were getting ready to go to sleep.

The LAPD will dispatch more patrols in areas where homeless people congregate.

The LAPD has created a task force to track down the serial killer.

Moore said, "We're bringing Homicide investigators from throughout the city. We're bringing additional investigators from specialized posts and we have placed our forensic science division on ready so that any forensic evidence that is gathered is also quickly processed and analyzed in an effort to identify the person we believe responsible for these three homicides."

Moore noted that the LAPD had contacted law enforcement officials in nearby cities to see if there were similar murders.

"We have no unsolved homicides outside the city of Los Angeles," Moore said. "Yet our work continues in identifying whether there are any other shooting victims of persons who are experiencing homelessness, which are unsolved and may have any similarities to these homicides."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, said, "This is a killer preying on the unhoused."

"Our message to the unhoused community is clear — do not sleep alone tonight," Bass advised. "Seek shelter, seek services, stay together, seek support and we need your help to get the word out."

The LAPD released two photos – one of the suspect and another of a dark-colored sedan car believed to be involved in the murders.

Police urge anyone with information on these cases to contact the tipline at (213) 486-6890.

The Los Angeles Times reported, "The killings raised new alarms in Los Angeles’ homeless community, which a count completed earlier this year pegged at more than 46,000 people. The city has been struggling to provide housing to this population, which the count found increased 10% over the last year."

The outlet noted that approximately 70% of the city's homeless population is unsheltered.

'Hard to comprehend': Pennsylvania nurse who confessed to killing off men in care facilities now linked to 17 deaths



A Pennsylvania nurse who admitted in May to killing patients with fatal doses of insulin has now been linked to 17 care facility deaths. Heather Pressdee, 41, of Natrona Heights was slapped Thursday with dozens of new charges pertaining to a series of slayings going back to at least 2020. Her alleged victims ranged in age from 43 to 104.

Pressdee has worked at over 11 rehabilitation facilities since 2018. It appears she changed locations at least once in response to disciplinary measures over her alleged abuse of staff and patients.

Pressdee told investigators on May 24 that she gave victims lethal doses of insulin, hoping that "they would slip into a coma and just pass away," reported CBS News.

She was initially charged in connection with the murder of two men, ages 55 and 83, at Quality Life Services in Chicora, and the attempted murder of a third man, age 73.

Pressdee is now suspected to have abused 22 victims and has admitted to trying to kill 19 patients.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry announced Thursday that she filed charges against Pressdee regarding the mistreatment of an additional 19 patients across five care facilities.

The victims had been at Concordia at Rebecca Residence; Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation; Quality Life Services Chicora; Premier Armstrong Rehabilitation and Nursing Center; and Sunnyview Rehabilitation and Nursing Center — all locations where Pressdee served as a registered nurse.

Investigators indicated Pressdee would administer fatal doses of insulin during overnight shifts when there were few staff on hand and "often took steps to ensure her victims would expire prior to shift change so that they wouldn't be sent to the hospital where her scheme could be discovered through medical testing." If it looked as though her victims might pull through, Pressdee would allegedly take additional measures to ensure they died.

For instance, the criminal complaint noted that when insulin failed to kill one victim whom Pressdee later told investigators "needed to die," she administered a syringe full of air into the victim's catheter to create a lethal air embolism.

The complaint also details various messages the suspect sent to her mother, complaining about patients and her desire to kill various people.

Pressdee reportedly wrote regarding one patient on June 26, 2022, "If you get like this you will get pillow therapy."

Concerning another male patient, she allegedly wrote on Sept. 6, 2022, "I drugged him already and I don't know how he is awake."

On Dec. 7, 2022, Pressdee messaged her mother regarding a female resident who was sleeping, stating, "She could be dead, she hasn't made a noise since 9 and I'm not checking on her," adding later, "Well she's alive and she may die now," according to the complaint.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that while a 104-year-old victim had reportedly been mobile and doing well, Pressdee allegedly expressed disgust, telling co-workers, "When is she going to die already?"

Extra to her previous charges, Pressdee now faces two counts of first-degree murder, 17 counts of attempted murder, and 19 counts of neglect of a care-dependent person. Despite her various admissions, prosecutors appear to have stuck with attempted murder charges in various cases where the victims died, as causes of death could not be determined.

Still, Pressdee could face the death penalty, which one of her defense attorneys, James DePasquale, told the Associated Press that he is working to avoid. Capital punishment is legal in the state, although Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) has so far maintained former Gov. Tom Wolf's moratorium on executions.

"We have been in communication with our client and the substantial amount of charges that were brought were not a surprise to anyone involved," said Pressdee's other attorney, Phil DiLucente.

Pressdee is being held at the Butler County Prison without bail.

"The allegations against Ms. Pressdee are disturbing. It is hard to comprehend how a nurse, trusted to care for her patients, could choose to deliberately and systematically harm them," said Henry. "The damage done to the victims and their loved ones cannot be overstated. Every person in a medical or care facility should feel safe and cared for, and my office will work tirelessly to hold the defendant accountable for her crimes and protect care-dependent Pennsylvanians from future harm."

The New York Times reported that the family of 68-year-old Marianne Bower, one of the victims, initially believed that she died of respiratory failure in September 2021. However, they recently learned from investigators that Pressdee admitted to killing Bower with insulin. Bower, like many of Pressdee's victims, was not a diabetic and had no need for insulin.

Rob Peirce, a lawyer representing Bower's estate in a wrongful death suit against the Belair Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, said, "This is one of the worst cases we have seen with someone in the health care system going from facility to facility and, unfortunately, admitting to killing multiple people."

The Times indicated the facility did not return its requests for comment.

Ohio woman allegedly lured men with sex, then fatally drugged, robbed them. Police searching for more 'serial killing' victims.



An Ohio woman is accused of carrying out the "serial killings" of at least four men in Columbus. The woman allegedly lured the men to hotels with the promise of sex. However, the woman instead would fatally drug the men before stealing their belongings, according to the attorney general.

Rebecca Auborn was charged on Sept. 11 with aggravated robbery, felonious assault, murder, corruption of another with drugs, trafficking in drugs, and the illegal manufacture of drugs.

On Wednesday, authorities announced new charges for Auborn. The 33-year-old from Columbus is now facing four counts of murder, four counts of involuntary manslaughter, five counts of aggravated robbery, five counts of felonious assault, five counts of corrupting another with drugs, one count of tampering with evidence, and four counts of trafficking in drugs — all felonies.

Investigators suspect Auborn to be involved with the overdose of four men and one who survived the encounter with the woman. The Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force received information that a woman was meeting men in northeast Columbus and then dosing the "johns" with drugs in order to steal their belongings.

Police believe Auborn lured a man to a hotel room with the promise of sex on Dec. 13, 2022. The man overdosed but survived.

Between January 2023 and June 2023, police said there were four men who suffered a fatal overdose of drugs while suspected of being with Auborn for sexual relations.

The Columbus Dispatch reported, "Court records from another case said Auborn admitted to detectives that she had mixed fentanyl in a man's crack pipe after meeting him for sex. In that case, Auborn told detectives she knew the man was overdosing, but took his vehicle and debit card, according to court records."

Investigators stressed that they believe there are more victims. Police are reinvestigating overdose deaths that happened near the other crime scenes from around the same timeline as the other deaths.

A statement from state Attorney General Dave Yost described the death as "serial killings."

"Don’t buy sex in Ohio – it ruins lives and could cost you yours," Yost said.

Auborn has been detained in the Franklin County jail. She is expected to appear in Franklin County Common Pleas Court for an arraignment on Friday.

Police are urging anyone with information related to the deadly overdose cases to contact the Columbus Division of Police homicide tip line at 614-645-2228.

Serial killer victim's daughter has SHOCKING WARNING for families



If you have older family members, you’d think a serial killer would be the least of your worries.

At least that’s what Mary Jo Jennings believed before one morning in 2016.

Jennings called her mother, Leah Corken, at a senior living facility for a routine chat. Corken told her daughter she was about to go get her hair done. That was the last time Jennings heard from her mother.

Jennings was then called into Tradition Prestonwood in North Dallas where she saw her mother, who had seemed healthy, lying in an unusual position with her jewelry missing.

“It was as you can imagine, just beyond sadness, grief, shocked, screaming ‘Mom,’ you know, it was just horrible,” Jennings tells Glenn Beck.

Two years later, on December 12, 2018, Jennings received a phone call from someone warning her that there was reason to believe her mother was a victim of a murderer named Billy Chemirmir.

This was after multiple healthy older women were found dead in similar odd positions with missing jewelry. At Tradition Prestonwood specifically, there were eight potential victims in three and a half months.

However, no one there tied the deaths together — and the assistant executive director of Tradition Prestonwood lied to Jennings, saying that Chemirmir had never been in the facilities.

“He, in fact, was someone who had personally escorted him out of the building. So, I have a lot of anger with that owner, Jonathan Perman.”

The killer himself was accused of killing 22 older women over two years and was convicted for only two murders. He was found dead in his prison cell in rural East Texas.

Jennings says it was explained to her that she would never see that man die in her lifetime, as Chemirmir was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.

When she found out about his death, she tells Glenn, “I’m not going to lie — I was thrilled.”

Jennings also has a dire warning for families with members in senior living facilities: “check the security,” because the truth is not always what’s advertised.

Why have people NOT HEARD of this suspected 22x SERIAL KILLER who will AVOID death penalty?

Why have people NOT HEARD of this suspected 22x SERIAL KILLER who will AVOID death penalty?

THIS is why 22x serial killer was COVERED UP. Prepare to be horrified.



Ted Bundy. Jeffrey Dahmer. Harold Shipman.

You’ve heard of them.

But Billy Chemirmir? The man who murdered at least 22 elderly women between 2016 and 2018?

Why doesn’t that ring a bell?

This is the subject of Glenn Beck and Daniel Horowitz’s conversation.

A deeper dive into the case reveals travesty after travesty. The truth is, there are multiple reasons why this case has been hushed up.

For starters, “we don't know this story because it is an old person dying, and old people die all the time,” says Glenn, “and there is something in our society that is happening that is devaluing the lives of the elderly.”

Second, “nobody did basic police work” despite an overwhelming amount of evidence.

Third, Chemirmir should have been deported on multiple occasions before a single murder took place. He was an illegal alien in the U.S. for an extended period of time before obtaining a green card via a loophole.

Regardless, “he had two DWIs, he had an assault, and then he was even sentenced to 70 days for trespassing,” says Horowitz.

But, of course, Billy was never deported as he should have been, which is what allowed his murderous rampage to ensue.

In multiple senior centers in Dallas and Collin Counties, Chemirmir would “follow the victims into their room as they were slowly walking in, or knock on the door and pose as a maintenance worker, ... and then he would proceed to smother these elderly women with a pillow until they were deceased and then steal the jewelry off their fingers,” Horowitz tells Glenn.

Even though the family of Chemirmir’s first victim reported a missing safe and jewelry, it “went nowhere with police.”

Then, Chemirmir murdered two more victims and stole their jewelry within the same facility, but “it elicited no investigation from police [or] from the facility management.”

But it gets even worse.

Between the first and second murder, Chemirmir was caught trespassing twice at the facility; only after the third time was he sentenced to 70 days in jail, although he served only 12. And yet, this “raised no concerns” regarding the string of identical murders.

Right after being released, Chemirmir found a second facility where he would “troll the hallways for hours on end,” apparently undetected by staff.

He wasn’t even very good at hiding the evidence either. There were “glasses crushed halfway around the room” and “blood on the pillow” in some of the victims’ rooms, but apparently police ignored the glaring evidence, allowing Chemirmir to continue murdering for another two years.

The only reason he was even caught was because one of the final victims had a pacemaker that allowed her to survive the brutal attack and identify Chemirmir.

And while we’re certainly glad he’s been caught, the injustice somehow still continues.

“They're not asking for the death penalty in Texas,” says Glenn, horrified. “If you've got a guy who we know killed 22,” and it was “cold-blooded murder, and he was doing it just for the money — if you can't get a capital case on that guy, well, then the death penalty doesn't exist really in Texas.”

“I think they're getting away with it because no one knows this story,” he says.

Why is the 'greatest serial murder ever in American history' being COVERED UP?!



Not sure if you’ve noticed, but our culture has become rather apathetic when it comes to death. It seems we can’t even begin to process a tragedy before the next one strikes … and then the next one.

“We have this culture of death,” says Daniel Horowitz. “We become mind-numb robots at a time of the internet where we should know more than ever,” and yet “we know less than ever; we care about less than ever.”

“We’re gonna talk about a story that should be the greatest crime story of our lifetime, and I’m not exaggerating,” he says – a story that is “probably the greatest serial murder ever in American history.”

What’s perhaps most disturbing, however, is the fact that so few people know about this story.

Between the years of 2016 and 2018, Kenyan national Billy Chemirmir was accused of smothering 22 elderly women to death and stealing their jewelry in several different senior centers across the Dallas metroplex.

But there are likely dozens more who died at Chemirir’s hand – victims who will never receive the justice they are owed.

Despite loads of evidence – DNA, blood, stolen jewelry, break-ins, and suspiciously proximate deaths – Chemirmir’s killing spree went on for two years, but “nothing was done security-wise … [or] in terms of police investigators,” Horowitz explains.

It wasn’t until an alleged victim miraculously survived Chemirmir’s attacks that he was finally identified.

However, Chemirmir has only been convicted of two murders and has now escaped the death penalty. Collin County, a notoriously conservative division, “will not seek the death penalty” despite the fact that “they caught the guy a million times over with every form of evidence you can imagine,” says Horowitz.

“This implicates jailbreak; it implicates the lack of death penalty; it implicates our criminal alien problem we have; it implicates the lack of regard for the lives of our seniors – ageism against older people; and frankly also implicates racism, because particularly the older generation is viewed as mainly white and they’re expendable,” says Horowitz.

What’s even more upsetting is that these tragic deaths could have been avoided.

The crime began long before Chemirmir went on his murderous rampage. He was granted a tourist visa in July 2003 from Kenya but became an illegal alien when he overstayed his visa by several years. Somehow, Chemirmir was able to obtain a green card through a marriage that was likely fake, all while living illegally in the United States.

“Just from an immigration standpoint alone, this guy should have been out,” says Horowitz. According to the law, “anyone who remains [in the U.S.] illegally is not only deported but barred from re-entering the country for ten years, but they liberally created this loophole in law and allowed him to remain.”

Further, before the killings began, Chemirmir was indicted on three separate occasions for DWIs and charged with causing bodily injury to his girlfriend.

“This man should have been deported many times over,” Horowitz says.

But he wasn’t, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It gets so much worse.

Joining Horowitz on the show are Ellen French House and Cheryl Pangburn, the daughters of two of Chemirmir’s victims.

Together they discuss “the most unbelievable story of all time.”

UK's worst ever baby serial killer found guilty of killing 7 newborns and attempted murder of 6 others; neonatal nurse wrote dark notes



On Friday, a British neonatal nurse was found guilty of murdering seven newborns and the attempted murder of six other babies. The nurse is the most prolific child serial killer in modern British history.

Lucy Letby, 33, pleaded not guilty to all 22 charges against her. However, a jury of seven women and four men deliberated for 22 days before handing down the guilty verdict at Manchester Crown Court on Friday.

Letby was found guilty of the seven murders and six charges of attempted murder. The jury could not reach verdicts on six counts of attempted murder in connection to four babies.

Following her conviction, the victims' families released a joint statement: "To lose a baby is a heartbreaking experience that no parent should have to go through. But to lose a baby or have a baby harmed in these circumstances is unimaginable."

While working as a neonatal nurse at Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016, Letby killed seven infants — five boys and two girls. In that time, there was a significant increase in newborns who suffered from severe collapses or died suddenly.

GB News reported, "She used various ways to harm the babies, including injecting air into the bloodstream, injecting air into the stomach, overfeeding with milk, physical assaults, and poisoning with insulin."

Letby, who was in her 20s at the time of the murders, allegedly made multiple attempts to kill some of the babies.

Letby was reportedly the only member of the nursing staff who was on duty each time a child collapsed. Yet, she was not removed from the neonatal ward until the deaths of two triplet boys and another baby boy collapsed on three successive days in June 2016.

In September 2016, Letby filed a grievance against her employers after she was removed from the hospital’s neonatal unit.

According to CNN, "Later that year, she was notified of the allegations against her by the Royal College of Nursing union, but the complaint was later resolved in her favor. Doctors were asked to formally apologize to Letby in writing."

Letby was scheduled to return to the neonatal ward in March 2017, but that never occurred. Instead, hospital officials notified the police, who then opened an investigation into the suspicious and sudden deaths of children.

Letby was arrested in July 2018, then again in June 2019, and for a final time in November 2020. Letby was denied bail in the third arrest.

Police searched the nurse's home and discovered dark, handwritten notes. Letby allegedly wrote, "I don’t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them."

"I am a horrible evil person. I am evil I did this," she purportedly wrote.

Prosecutor Nick Johnson described Letby as a "calculated opportunist" who used the vulnerabilities of premature and sick babies to hide her wicked actions. Johnson told the courtroom that Letby is a "cold, cruel and relentless" nurse with disturbing "voyeuristic tendencies" which would cause her to search the social media postings by parents of the children whom she attacked.

Senior investigating officer Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes said of the six-year investigation: "This has been an investigation like no other – in scope, complexity, and magnitude. We had to deal with this as 17 separate investigations – we are normally used to dealing with one murder or attempted murder investigation at a time let alone something on this scale."

There were nearly 70 officers and civilians working together at the height of the investigation.

Letby will be sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on August 21.

Gilgo Beach murders: How a pizza crust, Tinder account, and 'sadistic' Google searches helped police locate Long Island serial killer suspect



After more than a decade, police have arrested a New York man believed to be responsible for the deaths of three sex workers and the prime suspect in the murder of a fourth woman. An avalanche of evidence – including a pizza crust, a Tinder account, and "sadistic" Google searches – led police to the Long Island serial killer suspect in the cold case murders.

Rex A. Heuermann, a 59-year-old Long Island architect and married father of two, was arrested at his Massapequa Park home on Thursday night.

Heuermann was charged with murder in connection to the killings of three women who are part of the “Gilgo Four.” He is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder in connection with the killings of 24-year-old Melissa Barthelemy in 2009, and 22-year-old Megan Waterman and 27-year-old Amber Costello in 2010.

Heuermann was held on no bail. His attorney entered a plea of not guilty on Friday.

Authorities named Heuermann as the "prime suspect" in the death of another victim found on Gilgo Beach. Maureen Brainard-Barnes went missing in 2007.

The New York Post reported, "Suffolk County investigators spent 18 months painstakingly building a case against suspect Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann – the married dad of two who allegedly left a trail of damning evidence behind linking him to the so-called 'Gilgo Four' slayings."

Witnesses say the last client seen with Costello drove "a dark-colored, first-generation Chevrolet Avalanche," according to Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney.

Coincidentally, a first-generation Chevrolet Avalanche was registered to Heuermann. His pickup truck has since been impounded for evidence.

The suspect reportedly used a different burner phone to book appointments with the sex workers. Tierney said that cell phone tower data showed all of the calls were made from Massapequa Park – where Heuermann lived.

Tierney told Fox News, "So we were able to use that technology, but we still had to develop a suspect. And that's where the phone evidence and the evidence with regard to the car and some of [Heuermann's] other activities came in."

"The FBI and other phone analysts are really skilled in what they can do," Tierney continued. "So they could really analyze phone records and really isolate location areas where suspicious activity occurs. And that really allows you to capture or identify suspects."

Investigators were motivated to arrested Heuermann because continued to use burner phones to make appointments with sex workers, according to officials.

Court documents say Heuermann signed up for Tinder accounts with fictitious names to search for "dates" or "hookups." He purportedly used an American Express credit card via Google Pay to purchase a subscription to Tinder.

"Records obtained from Tinder revealed a burner phone was linked to a fictitious Tinder account for 'Andrew Roberts' using an email that Heuermann also accessed from his personal cell phone," according to the New York Post.

A burner phone was reportedly found on Heuermann at the time of his arrest.

The suspect reportedly used a phone to call Barthelemy’s then-16-year-old sister to say her sibling is a "whore."

CNN reported, "The suspect made taunting phone calls to Barthelemy’s sister, 'some of which resulted in a conversation between the caller, who was a male, and a relative of Melissa Barthelemy, in which the male caller admitted killing and sexually assaulting Ms. Barthelemy,' according to the bail application."

Prosecutors said in the court documents, "Investigators could find no instance where Heuermann was in a separate location from these other cellphones when such a communication event occurred."

Investigators claimed that Heuermann's wife and children were traveling out of New York state on vacation during the time of the victims' disappearances.

Heuermann conducted "thousands" of explicit Google searches for child pornography, nearby sex workers, and other disturbing inquiries, according to court documents.

ABC News reported, "Internet search records from the burner phones showed that between March 2022 and June 2023 indicated the suspect searched for sites 'related to active and known serial killers, the specific disappearances and murders of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, and the investigation into their murders,' as well as 'sex workers, sadistic, torture-related pornography and child pornography,' prosecutors alleged."

Tierney said, "And there was a lot of torture porn. And what you would consider depictions of women being abused, being raped, and being killed."

The district attorney said, "In a 14-month period, he had over 200 searches pertaining to the Gilgo investigation. Not only was he looking at investigative insight. He was looking, trying to figure out, how is the task force using cell phones to figure out what's happening."

The Google searches reportedly included: "Why could law enforcement not trace the calls made by the long island serial killer," "Why hasn’t the long island serial killer been caught," "In Long Island serial killer investigation, new phone technology may be key to break in case."

Investigators reportedly linked Heuermann to the death of Waterman via a pizza crust.

On Jan. 26, investigators witnessed Heuermann throw a pizza box into a trash can in Midtown Manhattan, authorities say. The leftover pizza crust in the box was sent to a crime lab. The DNA from the pizza crust matched a hair found in the burlap used to wrap Waterman's body, according to court docs.

The bodies of Barthelemy, Costello, and Waterman were all found wrapped in camouflaged burlap.

Tierney explained, "All the women were bound at the head, the midsection or chest, and the legs using camouflage burlap used in duck blinds, for hunting. So obviously, it was used to purposely hide the body."

By spring 2011, there were 10 bodies found in the Gilgo Beach area.

The investigation is still ongoing.
