Breaking: Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann appears in court, pleads not guilty. Watch live now.
Court documents released Friday show Heuermann has been charged related to the"Gilgo Beach Four," after the bodies of Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello were found in close proximity to one another in 2010.
"For example, on July 10, 2009, the last day Melissa Barthelemy was seen alive, both the burner phone and Defendant Heuermann's phone were in the area of Massapequa and traveled together toward New York City. Thereafter, both Ms. Barthelemy's phone and Heuermann's phone traveled eastbound toward Massapequa," prosecutors wrote in court documents.
Court documents also reveal investigators recovered a pizza box thrown away by Heuermann and swabbed it for DNA, which they linked to DNA found on Waterman's body. An announcement more than a decade in the making
