据萨福克郡治安官埃罗尔·土伦说，纽约吉尔戈海滩承认，连环杀手雷克斯·赫曼尼在监狱里喜欢阅读连环杀手的故事来打发时间，他还收到过一个连环杀手同伴的来信。
休曼承认在17年的杀人狂潮中勒死了8名妇女，他正在河源惩教所等待本月晚些时候的判决，自2023年被捕以来，他一直被关押在那里。
霍伊曼是书籍和期刊的狂热爱好者，土伦告诉ABC新闻。最近，霍伊曼读了丽莎·杰克逊的《选择死亡》，这是一本关于侦探在蒙大拿州追捕连环杀手的小说;诺拉·罗伯茨的《死亡肖像》，讲述一名中尉追捕一名连环杀手的故事;还有《死去的女孩》(The Dead Girl)，这是梅勒妮·瑟恩斯特罗姆(Melanie Thernstrom)写的一本关于谋杀的回忆录，警长说。
Heuermann曾与伊斯基斯·亨特·杰森联系过，后者是上世纪90年代的连环杀手，被称为“快乐脸黑仔”。警长说，杰斯珀森“联系了几次”，而赫曼至少回了一次信。他们通信的内容不得而知。
土伦说，休曼很大程度上被限制在一个6英尺乘9英尺的牢房里。
这位警长说，在他入狱的三年里，霍伊曼的举止没有改变。他说，这位前建筑师仍然坚忍不拔，从未表现出任何绝望。
在执法部门工作了40多年后，土伦说他“从未见过像这样的囚犯。”
“情绪没有变化，面部表情也没有变化。我真的认为他是一个反社会者，”土伦说。
警长说，休曼的女儿、前妻、律师和治疗师是他唯一的常客。
今年4月，Heuermannappeared出现在法庭上，并承认谋杀了8名妇女。休曼承认杀害了梅丽莎·巴泰勒米、梅根·沃特曼、莫林·布雷纳德·巴恩斯、安柏·琳恩·科斯特洛、杰西卡·泰勒、瓦莱丽·麦克和桑德拉·科斯蒂拉，他还承认杀害了凯伦·维格塔，尽管他没有因她的死亡而被正式指控。
检察官称，他瞄准性工作者，并在长岛吉尔戈海滩附近抛尸。
他的认罪协议的一部分要求霍伊曼接受美国联邦调查局行为分析小组的采访，尽管土伦说这还没有发生。
Heuermann预计将在6月17日的听证会上被判终身监禁。
Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann likes to read about serial killers in jail: Sheriff
AdmittedGilgo Beach, New York, serial killer Rex Heuermannlikes to read about serial killers to pass the time in jail and has received correspondence from a fellow serial killer, according to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon.
Heuermann, who pleaded guilty to strangling eight women to deathduring a 17-year killing spree, is awaiting sentencing later this month at the Riverhead Correctional Facility, where he has been in custody since his 2023 arrest.
Heuermann is an avid ready of books and periodicals, Toulon told ABC News.Recently, Heuermann has read "Chosen to Die" by Lisa Jackson, a novel about detectives hunting a serial killer in Montana; "Portrait in Death" by Nora Roberts, about a lieutenant pursuing a serial killer; and "The Dead Girl," a memoir by Melanie Thernstrom about murder, the sheriff said.
One person Heuermann has communicated with isKeith Hunter Jesperson, a serial killer from the 1990s known as the Happy Face Killer. The sheriff said Jesperson "reached out a few times" and Heuermann wrote back at least once. The contents of their correspondence are unknown.
Heuermann is largely confined to a 6 feet-by-9 feet cell, Toulon said.
The sheriff said Heuermann's demeanor has not changed in the three years he has been in jail. He said the former architect remains stoic and never shows any despair.
After more than 40 years in law enforcement, Toulon said he has "never seen an inmate like this."
"No change of emotion, no change in facial expressions.I really think he's a sociopath," Toulon said.
Heuermann's daughter, ex-wife, attorney and therapist have been his only regular visitors, the sheriff said.
In April, Heuermannappeared in court and admitted to the murders of eight women. Heuermann pleaded guilty to killingMelissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack and Sandra Costilla, and he also admitted to killing Karen Vergata, though he was not formally charged in her death.
Prosecutors said he targeted sex workers and dumped their bodies near Long Island's Gilgo Beach.
Part of his plea agreement required Heuermann to be interviewed by the FBI's behavioral analysis unit, though Toulon said that has not happened yet.
Heuermann is expected to be sentenced to life in prison at a hearing on June 17.
