"Rex Heuermann Charged with 4th Murder in Gilgo Beach Killings"

Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, has been charged with a fourth murder, that of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose remains were found near three other victims. Heuermann, who had previously been linked to the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, showed no emotion as the new charges were announced. Prosecutors allege that Heuermann's DNA was found on the buckle of a belt used to bind Brainard-Barnes, and that he checked her voicemail after she disappeared. Heuermann's attorney maintains his innocence, while the grand jury continues to investigate the remaining murders at Gilgo Beach.
