Days after police nabbed the man suspected of killing multiple women and dumping their bodies in the Gilgo Beach area of Long Island, police are now searching for more possible clues and evidence related to the serial slayings
The search came nearly four days after Heuermann was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello, according to court documents. He is also a suspect in a fourth killing, of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
Law enforcement officials felt strongly that the alleged killer was from Long Island because that cell phone tower ping – which came from a phone belonging to one of the victims after her death – originated from the Massapequa area, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the case.
Heuermann has worked as an architect in Manhattan, sources said, and police were seen Friday searching his midtown office at Fifth Avenue and East 36th Street. Some of the calls investigators identified had come from or near the architecture firm where he worked. For years, police had been looking into whether the suspect lived on Long Island and worked in Manhattan, commuting through New York-Penn Station.
Investigators said DNA evidence from a hair found on tape used to tie up one victim is believed to be a hair from Heuermann's wife — a hair strand likely initially stuck on the tape from him or his residence, court documents state., swabbing a leftover pizza crust inside. Prosecutors said they can match the DNA from the pizza crust to a strand of male hair also found on the tape used to tie up Waterman, according to the documents.
