Rex Heuermann in tears, 'I didn't do this,' says in Long Island serial murders
Hindustan TimesRex Heuermann, the alleged serial killer behind the Gilgo Beach murders, was crying and denying his involvement in the killings after his arrest on Thursday, his lawyer said Friday. This booking image provided by Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, shows Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was charged Friday, July 14, 2023, with murder in the deaths of three of the 11 victims in a long-unsolved string of killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders. The evidence included cell phone records, burner phones, Google searches, and Heuermann’s DNA from a half-eaten pizza that matched a hair found on a piece of burlap that wrapped Waterman’s body. The bodies of each of the three women Heuermann is charged with killing were found along the same stretch of Long Island’s Gilgo Beach between June and September 2010. One search allegedly asked: “Why hasn’t Long Island serial killer been caught” Investigators also found cell phone records connecting him to “the disposable cellphones used to set up meetings with three of the four victims,” as well as to make “harassing calls to a relative of Ms. Barthelemy,” and a “call made by a detective to Ms. Barthelemy’s cellphone while investigating her disappearance” as well as “calls checking voicemail on Ms. Brainard-Barnes” cellphone after her disappearance.
