Everybody knows each other, all of our neighbors, we're all friendly.
"We were kind of shocked, to tell you the truth. "We've been here for about 30 years, and the guy's been quiet, never really bothers anybody," Heuermann's neighbor, Etienne DeVilliers, told CBS New York. There are at least eight more suspected victims. Another suspected victim was discovered in December 2011, although police determined the remains are not related to the other killings. A further six victims, including a toddler and an unidentified Asian male, were identified in March and April 2011.
The remains of four other individuals were found in the area along the Ocean Parkway in December 20. The arrest marks the biggest development in the case since one of the victims was identified through genetic genealogy in May 2020. "Members assigned to the Gilgo Beach Task Force, which consisted of numerous detectives and investigators from the Suffolk County Police Department, as well as our partners in the FBI, did place one individual under arrest," said Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison in a press conference held on Friday. He's expected to appear in court on Friday afternoon. Heurmann will face three counts of murder in the first degree and three in the second degree in connection to the deaths of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy and Amber Costello. Photos also show that police have been searching his home in Massapequa, Long Island.
Heuermann, who works as an architect at his company RH Consultants and Associates, was taken into custody by authorities near his place of work in Midtown Manhattan. The killer, who targeted sex workers, had managed to elude authorities for over a decade. 59-year-old architect Rex Heuermann has been arrested in connection with the serial killings of at least ten women found dead along Gilgo Beach, Long Island, CBS News reports.
