Tierney says Heuermann was looking to make money
Tierney again mentioned how Heuermann has sought to use his family to make money off his crimes. He said he is not capable of caring about his family.
Tierney mentioned the calls to Amanda Funderburg, victim Melissa Barthelemy's sister,, that were discussed earlier.
He wanted to torture [her]," Tierney said of Heuermann's calls to Funderburg, who was 15 years old at the time.
Tierney said torturing Barthelemy wasn't enough.
He said Heuermann went from the hunter to the hunted as a result of those phone calls, which created leads for where the suspect might live and work.
