Video exclusively obtained by NBC New York shows the moments before the man accused in the murders of three Gilgo Beach victims was taken into custody by law enforcement in New York City
For years, Heuermann ran his architectural firm from Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, the area where detectives alleged he used a cellphone to arrange meetings with women he would later kill.“I’m just in shock to find out he worked in my building. I could’ve been in an elevator with him,” said Jordan Resnick. “It’s insane. I can’t believe it. I’m in shock right now.”
Michelle Gargano knows the facts and lore of the Gilgo Beach murders, but she had no idea the man suspected of being the serial killer worked in her same building. "It’s a little scary that he was two floor above me. We are on the ninth floor and no one had any idea obviously. That’s really scary and it went on for so long which is also horrifying," Gargano said."That’s really scary. I mean, day-to-day, I’m here every single day. I come here five days a week. Work late nights and stuff too, so that’s also scary that at night I could have been walking out of the building and just passing someone who was a murderer, and I had no idea.
Manhattan was the place investigators say Heuermann made several calls to set up meetings with potential victims. One specific call was made near the 59th Street Bridge. In midtown, investigators alleged Heuermann used a burner cell phone to taunt the family of one of his victims, saying he sexually assaulted and killed their loved one.
Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder. News 4's Jonathan Dienst, Pei-Sze Cheng, and Greg Cergol report.
