A suspected serial killer has been arrested over the notorious Gilgo Beach murders on Long Island, The Post can confirm.

Rex Heuermann, 59, a married architect at a New York City firm, was caught after DNA from the hair of victim Megan Waterman matched that of his, taken by investigators from a discarded pizza crust in January.

The father-of-two — a former classmate of Hollywood actor Billy Baldwin — was arrested Thursday after cops had staked out his home on 1st Avenue in Massapequa Park, Long Island, and office in midtown Manhattan.

His arrest is tied to the so-called “Gilgo Four,” women found wrapped in burlap within days of each other in late 2010, and not the other six who were later eyed as possibly being connected, the source said.

Heuermann appeared in court Friday afternoon and pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and other charges related to the deaths of three women over 10 years ago. The life-long suburbanite, who was emotionless in court, was also named the prime suspect in a fourth killing.

<snip>

  • Cellphone bills linked to Heuermann revealed that he used a burner phone to meet up with three of the four victims. He was also linked to one of the cell phones on a surveillance video that showed him purchasing the device at a store in Midtown Manhattan
  • A burner phone allegedly used by Heuermann placed a menacing call to victim Melissa Barthelemy’s relative after her death
  • Heuermann’s wife was traveling out of state during the murders of Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello
  • Records obtained from Tinder revealed the burner phone was linked to a fictitious account for “Andrew Roberts” using an email that Heuermann also accessed from his personal cellphone. Selfies that appeared to have been taken by Heuermann were sent to solicit sex on the email account associated with his dating profile
  • Two of the burner cellphones were used “extensively” between 2021 and 2023 to contact sex workers and massage parlors
  • An email address linked to one of the burner phones was used to conduct thousands of searches related to sex workers, child pornography and sadistic, torture-related sex acts such as “girl begging for rape porn,” “pretty girl with bruised face porn” and “tied up and raped porn”
  • Numerous searches about the Gilgo Beach murders were also linked to the email address associated with the burner phone, including “why hasn’t the long island serial killer been caught,” “why could law enforcement not trace the calls made by the long island serial killer” and for the task force investigating him. There were also queries relating to specific victims and their relatives, as well as podcasts and documentaries relating to the case
  • An IP address used to book flights for Heuermann and his wife on JetBlue also accessed Gilgonews.com, a website maintained by authorities to share updates on the murder case
  • Heuermann’s wife’s DNA was believed to be found on three of the victims’ bodies. DNA testing on a water bottle from outside Heuermann’s home was determined to be a match to a sample of a woman’s hair found on tape used to tie up Costello and Waterman, as well as the belt used to bind victim Maureen Brainard-Barnes’ feet.
  • Authorities believe that heavy-set Heuermann matches the description of the “ogre”-like john seen with Costello before she vanished
  • Heuermann drives a first-generation Chevrolet Avalanche, the same vehicle that a witness in Costello’s case said was driven by the suspect.

Camouflage burlap used for huning used to conceal the bodies! Got a new burner phone each murder!

That's the first I've heard "camouflage". Well, I figured that the burlap worked to conceal the bodies but how he came by it is what I've always wanted to know. I've always thought of it's potential as a good lead, you know, that to trace it's origin might be revealing.

She was out of town on the murder dates. It seems like an awful lot of his wife's hair has been found. Did he plant it?

I have to wonder too. I don't want to start on her or anything but there seems to be more hair of hers than his....

She was gone supposedly when a few murders occurred but we don't know how quickly he dumped them or if he didn't even keep them for some days. Oh Lord, first time that popped into my head.

A few hairs doesn't seem like a lot to me but no way would/did he plant it!
I remember studying the dates, that the dates surely were somehow revealing, and it was speculated that either he was alone and on vacation or he was alone because his family was.
