Search of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer’s home ends
Police in Long Island have announced an “update” in the investigation into the Gilgo Beach serial killings.
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney and other New York officials have scheduled a press conference for 10.30am ET on Friday morning to announce new details over the murders.
A senior law enforcement source told NBC New York that investigators have been able to identity another victim – previously referred to as the seventh Jane Doe.
This comes as prosecutors have asked the court to obtain a swab of DNA from serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann and as his wife broke her silence in her first interview since his shock arrest to reveal she is filled with “anxiety” and their two children “cry themselves to sleep” every night over the horror case.
Mr Heuermann, 59, was arrested on 13 July and charged with the murders of Amber Castello, Megan Waterman and Melissa Barthelemy. He is also the main suspect in Maureen Brainard-Barnes’ killing.
The women all went missing in 2009 and 2010 before their remains were found along Gilgo Beach.
