Rex Heuermann faces new charges in connection with the Gilgo Beach murders, bringing his total alleged victims to seven.
A remote stretch of Gilgo Beach 's Ocean Parkway has yielded a grim discovery as Rex Heuermann , an architect from NYC, has been charged with another murder, bringing the body count against him thus far to seven. Heuermann is accused of murdering Valerie Mack, an escort who vanished in 2000 and in whose death he had been considered a suspect. Prosecutors say DNA evidence secured the forensic link.
Mack, 24, had been working as an escort in Philadelphia and was last seen by her family that year in New Jersey. The bodies of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, and Megan Waterman were discovered during a search for a missing escort, Shannan Gilbert, who later was found dead in a marsh. Her case was ruled an accidental drowning, though attorneys for her family maintained the autopsy was inconclusive. Investigators say Gilbert's case is not tied to the others. Additional sets of remains turned up in that search for Gilbert, too. Authorities are still trying to identify some of them, including, those of Jessica Taylor, whose hands and forearm were found along Ocean Parkway years after her torso turned up in the Manorville woods; and Sandra Costilla, who allegedly died a violent death by his hands in November 1993. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to the charges. His attorney, Michael Brown, had no immediate comment on the new allegations Tuesday
