NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- The shocking revelation that New York City architect Rex Heuermann had been charged with three murders in connection to women found dead along Long Island's Gilgo Beach provided some answers about the decade-old case. But it also generated just as many new questions.
Heuermann has been charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello, and has been called the"prime suspect" in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. All four women were found in the same area of the beach, bound in the same fashion and with three covered in burlap.
On March 29, 2011, police found the remains of Jessica Taylor, a 20-year-old sex worker who had gone missing in 2003. Other parts of Taylor’s body had been found nearly eight years before in Manorville, New York, in eastern Long Island. The final set of remains often tied to the case were those of an unidentified woman found near Tobay Beach in Nassau County on April 11, 2010. She has also never been identified, and, like the mother of the infant, was not found on Gilgo Beach like the other eight victims.While police aren't naming any other victims in connection with Heuermann, they are leaving the door open to the possibility that he was involved in more killings.
Investigators have long believed it was possible there was more than one killer because of the different conditions of the victims. Additionally, the wooded stretches along Ocean Parkway were long known as dumping grounds for bodies.Police discovered the first four women while searching for Shannan Gilbert, a missing sex worker who had called police after fleeing from a home in the area, saying,"They are trying to kill me," according to the family's lawyer, John Ray.
