Written in capital letters, the manual is structured as a series of reminder lists under topics like PRE-PREP, which offers banal tips about the importance of checking weather reports and looking for surveillance cameras.
The PREP section is more grim, with directives to set up a holding area and “stage” with equipment for apparent sexual torture.
The BODY PREP list includes reminders on how to avoid leaving evidence.
The manual is the most informative piece of narrative evidence disclosed since prosecutors filed legal papers after Mr. Heuermann’s arrest detailing investigators’ 18-month pursuit.
In prosecutors’ hands, a document they say the defendant created to avoid detection may instead become damning evidence against him, even given the already disclosed DNA matches, phone records and internet activity that prosecutors say tie Mr. Heuermann to the killings.
