"Rex Heuermann Charged with Fourth Gilgo Beach Murder"

Rex Heuermann, a suspect in the Gilgo Beach killings, has been charged with the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a Connecticut mother of two who disappeared in 2007. Heuermann's DNA was linked to the crime scene through hair found with Brainard-Barnes' remains, which was genetically similar to his ex-wife's DNA. He also sought to destroy evidence and showed signs of fear of getting caught before his arrest. Prosecutors believe the indictment brings closure to the "Gilgo four" victims, and they now focus on prosecuting these cases and investigating other bodies found nearby.
