On Friday, details began emerging about Rex Heuermann, who was arrested and charged with murder in the killings of three of the women.
Mr. Heuermann, 59, is a married white man who works as an architect in Manhattan and lives in Massapequa Park, about 15 miles from Gilgo Beach.
He owned a Chevrolet Avalanche truck at the time of the killings, prosecutors said.
None of this proves that Mr. Heuermann is the serial killer, and experts noted that profiles are typically used to evaluate individuals who have already come to the attention of investigators.
But the similarities did not go unnoticed by some of the experts who put together the 2011 profile.
