A suspect in the Gilgo Beach serial killings has been arrested and charged in the deaths of three women whose remains were found on a beach roadway in Long Island more than a decade ago.
Rex Heuermann, 59, was charged Friday with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Lynn Costello, 27.
According to law enforcement sources, investigators believe that Heuermann killed at least one of his victims at his home in Massapequa Park. They are currently coordinating with others in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Las Vegas, and South Carolina to determine whether Heuermann is connected to other unsolved murder cases throughout the country.
The remains of the women were all discovered in December 2010 in Gilgo Beach on Long Island’s South Shore, and they were all believed to have been sex workers who advertised on online sites, according to police.
Heuermann is currently being held without bail and is due back in court on June 9th. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Suffolk County Police Department.
