BreakingNews: A NewJersey prosecutor says that the murders of several sex workers on LongIsland do not appear to be related to the unsolved killings of four sex workers near AtlanticCity.
Officers from both agencies compared “timelines, dates, methodologies, etc. of both cases,” the prosecutor said.
“There does not seem to be a connection between the suspect in the Gilgo Beach case and the Atlantic County homicides from 2006,” he said. Representatives of the Suffolk County Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect, was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday to face murder charges in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello, whose bodies were found in an overgrown area of Gilgo Beach on Long Island in 2010. He also is a suspect in the 2010 murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
No one has been charged in the New Jersey cases, which happened in Egg Harbor Township, near Atlantic City."Authorities will continue to follow all leads until the perpetrator of those crimes is brought to justice," he said. A joint investigation is being carried out by Atlantic City and Egg Harbor Township police, as well as state and federal law enforcement officers.
