Gilgo Beach Serial Killer: Task Force Investigators Return to Suspect Rex Heuermann’s Massapequa Park Home
MASSAPEQUA PARK, Long Island (WABC) — Gilgo Beach Homicide Task Force investigators returned to murder suspect Rex Heuermann’s home in Massapequa Park on Monday.
He has pleaded not guilty to the murder of four women whose bodies were found close to each other in a swampy area near Gilgo Beach.
The bodies of the Gilgo Beach Four (Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello) were found wrapped in burlap.
Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney would only say that as “new information comes in, additional action is necessary” and that the search is “part of the ongoing investigation regarding crimes with and no fees”.
When Tierney was asked if anything new had emerged to prompt the search, he said investigations are evolving.
“New information is coming in, and as that new information comes in, additional steps need to be taken, and that’s what we’re doing,” Tierney said. “But as prosecutors, we speak through indictments, so until that happens, we will speak. For now, we are not going to say anything except that it is part of an ongoing investigation.”
Prosecutors previously revealed they seized hundreds of electronic devices from Heuermann’s Massapequa Park home and his Manhattan office following his arrest.
His attorney had no comment Monday in response to the new search. Heuermann is due in court on June 18.
