Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park was flooded with cops this morning. It sits directly north of Gilgo Beach, with only the South Oyster Bay separating them.

Long Island serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann left his wife's hair on three of the prostitutes he is accused of murdering and his own DNA on another's body, prosecutors have revealed, as he makes his first court appearance.
Heuermann, 59, was dramatically arrested last night in midtown Manhattan outside his architectural office on Fifth Avenue.
He is suspected in the murders of the 'Gilgo Beach four' - four prostitutes whose remains were found on the Long Island beach in December 2010.
Today, Heuermann was charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello and Megan Waterman.
He has been named as the prime suspect in the murder of Maureen Brainar-Barnes, and is also being investigated for the murders of another six women found dead near the beach in 2011.
Heuermann has not yet responded to the bombshell charges.
He was led out of a Long Island police station this afternoon in handcuffs, towering over the police officers escorting him.
- His wife's DNA was found on three of the victims' bodies
- One of his own hairs was found on one of the victims' bodies
- Cell phone calls made from a burner phone to the victims were traced to his office
- A call made to one of the victims' sisters after she died was traced to his office
- His Tinder profile with photos of him was linked to the burner phone
- His Chevrolet pick-up truck was seen by witness to one victim's disappearance
- He matches description of 'ogre' like man seen with one victim before she vanished
- Heuermann conducted graphic searches for child porn and images of women being sexually abused
- He also searched Google for updates on the case, searching 'why could law enforcement not trace the calls made by the long island serial killer'
In January this year, after watching Heuermann and his family since last March, the detectives in the case seized a pizza box he'd thrown in the trash outside his Manhattan office
