A suspect has been taken into custody on Long Island in connection with long-unsolved killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders.
A suspect has been arrested in connection with a series of killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders on New York’s Long Island, a case that has puzzled authorities since the remains of the victims were first discovered a decade ago.Heuermann faces three counts of murder in the first degree and three counts of murder in the second degree in the killings of three women in 2009 and 2010, according to a bail application filed in Suffolk County Court on Friday.
In talking about the bodies near Gilgo Beach, investigators have said several times over the years that it was unlikely one person killed all the victims. All four women were in their 20s and believed to be sex workers whose cause of death was homicide, according to the bail filing.He is also the prime suspect in the ongoing investigation into the death of Brainard-Barnes, which is “expected to be resolved soon,” the filing said.
The investigation also found numerous online accounts linked to Heuermann but operating under fake names and used for illicit activity, the court filings said. One such email,, contained “thousands of searches related to sex workers, sadistic, torture-related pornography and child pornography,” the papers said.
Law enforcement personnel raided a small red house early Friday in Massapequa. Dozens of residents mingled alongside police and media, watching as a half-dozen investigators in protective suits conferred outside the front porch, which was in disrepair, its roof propped up by two-by-fours.
