Accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann’s sick online searches — including looking up deviant sex acts and autopsy photos — were exposed in new court documents Tuesday.

Heuermann — who is now charged with murder in all of the “Gilgo Beach Four” cases — used the Gmail account “sandbagger303” and another email address to scour the web for pornography, according to the newly unsealed indictment.

The disgusting searches included “Tied up fat girl porn,” “Skinny white teen crying porn,” “medieval torture of women” and “skinny black slave girl,” the court papers state.

Heuermann also looked up “autopsy photos of female,” “how I was raped audio,” “stories of rape audio,” “crying blow job porn” and “fat teen cum on face porn,” according to the filing from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

The “sandbagger303” Gmail account was created by the hulking New York City architect in 2017 under the name Andrew Robert, but many of the stomach-turning Google searches came after April 2021, when he started using a T/Hawk email account, prosecutors said.

Heuermann, 60, was hit with a new murder charge Tuesday in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, who went missing on July 9, 2007, and was found on Dec. 13, 2010, along Gilgo Beach on Long Island — one of the “Gilgo Beach Four.”

All four women — Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman and Melissa Barthelemy — worked as escorts on Long Island and were found among at least six other sets of remains.

In addition to emailing and texting escorts, prosecutors said Heuermann conducted dozens of searches looking for information on the Gilgo Beach murders, which went unsolved for 13 years.

“Gilgo news,” he allegedly searched, reading up on news reports on the mass killings.

Heuermann also searched for law enforcement techniques for tracking cellphones, on the use of DNA in solving crimes — and looked for contact info for his victims’ relatives, court documents said.

According to the documents, Heuermann allegedly waited until his wife and children were out of town to carry out the murders, with the family in Atlantic City when Brainard-Barnes was killed.

Heuermann was arrested last year and charged in the slayings of Costello, Waterman and Barthelemy, and was a prime suspect Brainard-Barnes’ death until he was officially charged Tuesday.
