As recent as last month, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer searched for updates in the investigation. According to court documents, he impulsively searched for pictures of the victims and their relatives, as well as answers to questions like "why hasn't the long island serial killer been caught."
On Friday, that man, Rex Heuermann, was charged with the murders of three women — Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman and Melissa Barthelemy — whose remains were found near Gilgo Beach on Long Island over a decade ago. He is also the prime suspect in the killing of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, according to court records.
