Notorious “BTK Killer’’ Dennis Rader says Gilgo Beach serial slay suspect Rex Heuermann is “a clone of me’’ — with a nearly identical personal profile and technology-fueled “downfall.

“I was arrested at age 59. Married, two kids. Husband, dad longtime a serial killer, stalker, used electronic devices, lives in a neighborhood undetected,’’ Rader wrote in a letter to Fox News, ticking off the litany of similarities between himself and Heuermann, who is from Massapequa Park, Long Island.

Rader — who is serving a life sentence for killing 10 people in Kansas — said that, as with Heuermann, advancements in science and technology ultimately led to his arrest.

“Heuermann was taken down [by] DNA and electronics, his downfall much like me,” wrote Rader, whose self-proclaimed nickname stems from his preference to “Bind, Torture and Kill” his victims.

The sadistic murderer claims he predicted the similarities between himself and the accused Gilgo Beach killer when the string of Long Island murders was a cold case years ago, declaring, “I was correct.”

Rader — a former Cub Scout leader and Christ Lutheran Church higher-up — was arrested Feb. 25, 2005, decades after slaughtering victims in the Wichita and Park City areas between 1974 and 1991.

Law enforcement matched DNA from one of Rader’s relatives to semen left at the scene of a quadruple homicide in 1974.

Who were the Gilgo Beach victims?

Suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann — a New York City architect and married dad of two — was arrested in connection with the long-unsolved Gilgo Beach murders. The arrest is tied to the so-called “Gilgo Four,” women found wrapped in burlap within days of each other in late 2010.

The years-long investigation that led to the arrest revolved around the discovery of more than 10 sets of human remains along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in Suffolk County between December 2010 and April 2011.

Most victims were petite female sex workers with green or hazel eyes. But there were also two exceptions: a 2-year-old girl and a young Asian man.

Melissa Barthelemy, 24

• Barthelemy was a sex worker who lived in the Unionport section of the Bronx and dreamed of one day opening her own beauty salon. She was last seen alive in her basement apartment on Underhill Avenue on July 12, 2009. Heuermann was charged for Barthelemy’s murder in July 2023.

Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25

• Brainard-Barnes was living in Norwich, Connecticut. She went missing after taking an Amtrak train from New London, Connecticut, to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan on July 6, 2007. Her remains were found in December 2010. Heuermann was charged for Brainard-Barnes’ murder in January 2024.

Amber Lynn Costello, 27

• Costello, 27, was a sex worker and heroin addict who lived in West Babylon, New York, at a home with a woman and two men. She advertised on Craigslist and Backpage to support her and her roommates’ drug habits. Costello was found on December 13, 2010, after having been last seen leaving her home September 2, 2010. Heuermann was charged for Costello’s murder in July 2023.

Megan Waterman, 22

• Waterman, a 22-year-old mom of one, was last seen on June 6, 2010. She lived in Scarborough, Maine, and earned a living as an escort. She was last seen by her family boarding a New York-bound Concord Trailways bus in Maine. Her body was found on December 13, 2010, on the north side of Ocean Parkway, near Gilgo Beach. Heuermann was charged for Waterman’s murder in July 2023.

Jessica Taylor, 20

• Remains belonging to Jessica Taylor, a 20-year-old woman working as an escort in New York City, were found in a wooded area in Manorville on July 26, 2003. Her additional remains — initially labeled “Jane Doe No. 5” — were discovered on March 29, 2011, along Ocean Parkway.

Valerie Mack, 24

• Valerie Mack was 24 years old and living in Philadelphia when she went missing. She worked as an escort, using the alias “Melissa Taylor.” Relatives last saw Mack in the spring or summer of 2000 in Port Republic, New Jersey, but she was never reported as missing to the police. Her partial skeletal remains were found in Manorville in September 2000 but were initially known as “Jane Doe No. 6.” More bones were found on April 4, 2011, along Ocean Parkway.

Unidentified Asian man

• The skeletal remains of a yet-to-be-identified Asian man were found along Ocean Parkway on April 4, 2011. It is estimated that the man was between 17 and 23 years old at the time of his death. He was approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall with bad teeth.

‘Peaches’ and her daughter

• An African American woman’s partial remains were discovered in Hempstead Lake State Park back in 1997, and she had become known as “Peaches” because of a bitten tattoo of a peach on her left breast. On April 4, 2011, police uncovered the remains of a toddler, who was about 2 years old at the time of her death. DNA testing confirmed that one of the skeletons was that of the 2-year-old girl’s mother, “Peaches.”

Karen Vergata

• A victim previously referred to as Jane Doe No. 7 has been identified as 34-year-old Manhattan woman Karen Vergata. Vergata is believed to have disappeared around Feb. 14, 1996; two months later, her legs were found in a plastic bag at a park near Fire Island’s Blue Point Beach. At the time of her disappearance, Vergata was believed to have been working as an escort. Two sets of Vergata’s remains were identified in August 2023.

Shannan Gilbert, 23

• Gilbert was a Craigslist escort who lived in Jersey City, traveled with her driver Michael Pak from Manhattan to meet a client, Joseph Brewer, at his home in the Oak Beach Association on the morning of May 1, 2010. She spoke with two neighbors before disappearing. Her body was discovered in a marsh near Oak Beach — about half a mile from where she was last seen alive — on December 13, 2011.

Jessica Taylor, 20

• Taylor, a 20-year-old woman working as an escort in New York City, were found in a wooded area in Manorville on July 26, 2003. Her additional remains — initially labeled “Jane Doe No. 5” — were discovered on March 29, 2011, along Ocean Parkway.

Sandra Costilla

• Costilla was murdered in 1993 but had not been included among the so-called Gilgo Beach victims — until now. Investigators suspected convicted serial killer John Bittrolff in Costilla’s death, but he was never charged in her slaying — which remains one of several unsolved Long Island murders.

Rader’s bust came after he sent taunting letters to media outlets describing the gruesome details of the murders decades after committing them.

Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect and married father of two, was charged last week with three of the “Gilgo Four” murders of women on Long Island: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Lynn Costello. He is the main suspect in the fourth victim, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, who disappeared in 2007, authorities have said.

He was busted last week after law enforcement linked data from his phone to victims’ phones and matched DNA from a discarded pizza crust to genetic material found on the body of a victim.

The arrest reportedly gobsmacked Heuermann’s wife, Asa Ellerup —  much like Rader’s family, FOX reported.

“My first question when a long sought suspect in multiple murders is caught is, ‘Does he have a family?’ ” said Rader’s daughter, Kerri Rawson, to Fox.

 “My family’s life was upended 18 years ago, February 2005, when we got the noon day knock and simple notification from the FBI, ‘Your father is BTK.’ “
