"Serial Killer Investigation: New Leads Uncovered in Gilgo Beach Murders Case"

Detectives are searching a second storage facility belonging to Gilgo Beach murders suspect Rex Heuermann, who had over 200 guns in his home, more than double the number for which he had permits. Investigators are looking for physical evidence, including victim "trophies," at Heuermann's house. Heuermann was tied to the murders through DNA evidence and his activity on burner phones used to arrange meetings with the victims. He is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of three women and is considered the prime suspect in another woman's death. The victims were mostly young women who were sex workers, and authorities believe more than one person may have been involved.

Experts question YNW Melly's alibi in double murder trial.

Prosecutors in the YNW Melly murder trial presented physical evidence that discredits his alibi of a drive-by shooting. The bullets that killed the victims came from the same type of .40 caliber weapon, which has never been recovered. Prosecutors say Melly and co-defendant Cortland Henry tried to cover up the murder by making it look like Henry’s Jeep had been shot at from the outside. The missing windows of the Jeep made it difficult to analyze the bullet trajectories, but prosecutors have said later evidence will show the bullets came from inside the car.
