🚨 Rex Heuermann, whom prosecutors charged in July as the Gilgo Beach serial killer, was charged Tuesday morning in connection with a fourth murder.
Per nytimes reporting, Mr. Heuermann, 60, was previously charged in the killings of three of the four women whose remains were found on the Long Island oceanfront in 2010 bound in similar fashion with burlap, belts and tape.
After the four bodies were discovered along a stretch of oceanfront parkway, six more sets of remains were found. The circumstances around those deaths are still being investigated.
Mr. Heuermann was first identified as a suspect in the killings in early 2022, shortly after a new multiagency task force was formed to investigate the case.
Investigators say he made numerous calls and texts to Ms. Brainard-Barnes just before her disappearance.
This is a developing story with updates to come.
