The FBI has taken an interest in interviewing Heuermann, who plans on cooperating with the agency’s behavioral analysis unit as part of his plea agreement, according to his attorney Michael Brown.

According to the FBI’s website, the unit was created in 1972 and uses “in-house, cutting-edge psychological research and operational experience to better understand criminal behavior and assist in solving cases.”

It’s unclear what agents want from Heuermann, who admitted to killing multiple women and dumping their remains in Gilgo Beach.

Brown declined to say if Heuermann is a suspect in any federal investigations.
