John Ray, a flamboyant lawyer representing the families of victims in the Gilgo Beach serial-killing case, has become a magnet for information and a central figure in the investigation. During a recent news conference, Ray announced claims from witnesses connecting more bodies to the prime suspect, Rex Heuermann. The announcement blindsided the Gilgo Beach Task Force, who criticized Ray for not providing advance notice. Despite the criticism, the Suffolk County police chief, Rodney Harrison, has added two detectives to field Ray's leads and other tips. Ray's claims include allegations of sex parties and shocking violence involving Heuermann. The district attorney's office will speak with Ray's witnesses, but emphasized that attorneys representing victims or their families should not be part of the investigation due to conflicts of interest.

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.

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.
