The LISK Files: The Arrest Of Rex Heuermann

In July 2023, Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old Manhattan architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island, was arrested near his Midtown office in connection with the Gilgo Beach murders. Investigators linked him to the killings through DNA evidence obtained from a discarded pizza crust and subsequent cheek swab, as well as hair recovered from the crime scenes that matched his wife. Authorities also traced burner phone usage, witness accounts of a distinctive vehicle, and a disturbing pattern of internet searches. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello—three of the “Gilgo Four,” whose remains were found wrapped in burlap near Gilgo Beach in 2010.Following his arrest, prosecutors widened the case, bringing additional charges in 2024. Heuermann was indicted for the murders of Sandra Costilla, dating back to 1993, and Jessica Taylor, killed in 2003. In December 2024, he was further charged with the murder of Valerie Mack, identified through genetic genealogy after her remains were discovered in 2000. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains held at the Riverhead Correctional Facility while awaiting trial.to contact me:[email protected]:Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect arrested for murders of 10 women on Long Island | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
