Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Suspect Charged with Two More Murders, May Have More Victims

Rex Heuermann, charged in the Gilgo Beach serial killings, may have started preying on women over 30 years ago, with his earliest known victim found in 1993. Heuermann, an architect living a seemingly quiet life, is now linked to multiple murders, including the 2000 death of Valeria Mack. Experts believe he could be connected to as many as 50 unsolved cases. The investigation into Heuermann's activities was revived in 2022, leading to his recent charges.

"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.

"Twists and Turns: The Gilgo Beach Murders and the Intriguing Role of Rex Heuermann's Wife"

The defense attorney for alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex A. Heuermann claims that another suspect in the 13-year-old case was nearly arrested under the previous district attorney, and prosecutors have not yet turned over detectives' notes that could help the defendant. Defense attorney Michael J. Brown stated that these notes would contain the names of other suspects in the multiple homicide investigation. Brown also revealed that former Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini wanted someone arrested for the crime, but did not identify the potential suspect. Heuermann's attorney is requesting all investigation notes to properly defend his client, and the prosecution has so far turned over grand jury minutes and crime lab notes. The grand jury investigation is expected to end soon, and Heuermann has been held without bail since his arrest in the killings of three women. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Illegal Possession of Over 40 Firearms: Suspect in Gilgo Beach Killings Faces Prosecution

Prosecutors in Suffolk County, New York, have stated that more than 40 firearms and 10 high-capacity magazines belonging to Rex Heuermann, the suspect in the Gilgo Beach killings, appear to be illegally possessed. The weapons were discovered after Heuermann's lawyers petitioned the court to have them returned for sale. Prosecutors argue that the firearms, including assault rifles and handguns, should be further analyzed by Nassau County investigators due to potential violations of state gun laws. Heuermann, who is facing murder charges, no longer has a firearms license. He is due back in court in November.

Unveiling the Chilling Connections: Gilgo Beach Killings and JonBenet Ramsey's Murder Suspect

Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, New York, has been arrested and charged with the murder of three women in the Gilgo Beach killings, while also being named the prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman. Experts noted that Heuermann matches many of the characteristics predicted in a 2011 profile of the suspect, including being a white man in his mid-20s to mid-40s, married or having a girlfriend, well-educated, financially secure, and living near where the bodies were found. However, it is important to note that this does not prove Heuermann is the serial killer, and profiling is not a precise science.

Arrested Suspect Unveils Chaos and Control in Gilgo Beach Killings

Rex Heuermann, a veteran architectural consultant in Manhattan, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Gilgo Beach Killings on Long Island. Heuermann, who led a double life, was meticulous in his professional pursuits but left his neighbors in Massapequa Park feeling uneasy. He was known for glowering at neighbors while swinging an ax in his front yard and was even kicked out of a Whole Foods for stealing fruit. Prosecutors allege that Heuermann carefully covered his tracks, making it difficult for them to arrest him for nearly 15 years. Friends and clients in the real estate business expressed shock at the accusations.
