In the New York magazine story headlined, "My Boss the Monster," Mary Shell, who reported to Heuermann at his architecture agency located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, also noted how he frequently boasted about his passion for hunting, but never mentioned his wife and two children who lived with him on Long Island, in Massapequa Park.
"My former colleagues described how he gushed about his bear-hunting trips in particular: baiting an area and lying in wait," Shell said. "More than once, he gleefully described the process of dressing the game, seeming to delight in grossing his employees out."
A total of 10 bodies, nine of which were women, found on the south shore of Long Island have been linked to the series of killings between 1996 and 2011. Shell said she worked directly for Heuermann in 2010.
Heuermann was apprehended by police in midtown Manhattan on Thursday, July 13.
Police say a description and discovery of Heuermann's motor vehicle -- a Chevy Avalanche with distinct features -- as well as DNA evidence from pizza crust in a box Heuermann discarded were keys to cracking the case.
