Police search Gilgo Beach serial killing suspect’s home on Long Island for 5th straight day
Associated PressMASSAPEQUA PARK, N.Y. — Investigators in the New York City suburbs continue to scour the home of a Manhattan architect charged in a string of slayings known as the Gilgo Beach killings. Friday marked the fifth straight day of the renewed search by state and local police of Rex Heuermann’s dilapidated, single-family home in Massapequa Park on Long Island. Other officers emerging from the mobile command units that Suffolk County police set up on the closed-off street also carried cardboard evidence boxes back into the home, but it wasn’t clear their contents. “We have no knowledge of a set end time or date of when the house will be vacated by law enforcement,” Vess Mitev, a lawyer representing Heuermann’s two adult children, wrote in an email. “Their personal property has been taken, obviously for legal purposes, but they don’t understand that.” Macedonio, who didn’t respond to an email seeking comment Friday, also said the family’s lawyers will be reviewing the search warrant to “see what probable cause was obtained to get back into the residence.” Investigators spent nearly two weeks last July at the home, located in a suburban town about 40 miles east of Manhattan.
