Happy Face Killer Reveals Note Accused Gilgo Beach Killer Rex Heuermann Wrote to Him – Crime Online

“Happy Face” killer Keith Jesperson says accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann is now his pen pal.

According to DailyMail, Jesperson, who’s currently serving a life sentence at Oregon State Prison for killing at least eight women, said he wrote Heureman, who’s also behind bars, and told him to “confess to avoid giving prosecutors the chance to ‘gloat’ about finding evidence.”

Police arrested Heuermann in July for the deaths of three of the four women known collectively as the “Gilgo Four.” The bodies were found within days of each other on Gilgo Beach in December 2010. All four women were buried in burlap sacks.

Heuermann is now charged with six counts of murder in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; and Amber Lynn Costello, 27; and is the prime suspect in the death of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

Jesperson previously spoke out about the letter he wrote to Heuermann, as CrimeOnline reported. Now, he’s sharing the reply he received from Heuremann with podcaster, Keith Rovere, who specializes in interviewing serial killers.

‘Happy Face Killer’ Says He Told Long Island Serial Killer Suspect Rex Heuermann to Admit His Guilt

In his response letter, Heuremann thanked Jesperson for his words of encouragement and acknowledged that he had been receiving an influx of letters from others. Heuremann added that he has only written Jesperson back.

“You were right about letter – I have gotten a number of them, asking for interviews, to be friends, pen pals, and one guy who sent me three letters asking me to write back to add to his collection of letters,” Heueremann wrote.

Jesperson told Rovere that Heuermann complained about the harsh conditions in jail, including bad food and a subpar exercise area.

“So it sounds like OSP is not such a bad place to be,” Heuermann wrote. “Do you have butter for your bread? How is the day-to-day food – I will admit that food on SCCF is not much to look forward to each day.

“Also yard is just walking in circles outside.”

Jesperson told Rovere that Heuremann would likely write to him again.

“The message I’m sending him is to own it,” Jesperson said. “They want the letter to get to him. They want him to listen to this guy who is telling him how the system is. So when you finally get to it, the police can go out and solve all the other cases with him.”

“So that’s what I’m telling him to do: don’t hold anything back. Details, or a few more laying out there….You now get into a routine: you already know what your convictions are, you’re set up.

“And you’re not moving out going to court. You’re not doing any of this moving back and forth on court. And you don’t have the jail. ‘Shuffling you around going everywhere you go on for hearings.

‘”he food is different. The food is better in prison. You know what? He’s what he’s worried about butter on his gray. Well, he’ll get larger….There’s no real defense here. This is what we need to do. Let’s just go ahead and make a deal. And then the lawyers come off like they made a deal.”

Meanwhile, Heuermann remains behind bars without bail, told Jesperson he understands what he said had has “taken it to heart.”

Heuremann previously pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
