Long Island serial killer: Suspect indicted with multiple counts of murder over a dozen years later

A suspect has been indicted with three counts of murder, in connection with the Gilgo Beach murders that took place over a dozen years ago. The Suffolk District County Attorney confirmed suspect Rex Heuermann, 59, an architect in Manhattan, had been arrested by local police on Friday.

The killings, often referred to as the “Long Island Serial Killer” case, were first revealed in December 2010, when the bodies of Amber Costella, Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes and Megan Waterman were found in a marsh along Gilgo Beach in Babylon, Long Island.

The women had all worked as online escorts and went missing between 2007 and 2010. Their bodies were discovered accidentally as police searched for Shannan Gilbert, a 24-year-old escort who went missing after meeting up with a client and fleeing the man’s home.

Though Heuermann has been charged with three counts of murder, the Suffolk District County Attorney said the investigation into the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes is “still underway.”
