Authorities in New York have made a breakthrough in the Gilgo Beach murders, a case that has baffled investigators for years. Rex Heuermann, an architect who lives near where the bodies were found, has been charged with the murder of three women and is the prime suspect in another killing. The case involves the deaths of 11 people whose remains were discovered between 2010 and 2011 along a New York Beach Highway. The murders have been the subject of a Netflix film and have received significant media attention. The investigation into the Gilgo Beach murders is the largest murder investigation ever on Long Island. The area has had its fair share of high-profile homicides, including the “Amityville Horror” murders in 1974 and the Colin Ferguson commuter train shooting in 1993. The Gilgo Beach murders have garnered the most publicity of any case in the area, according to Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer. The investigation began in 2010 when a police officer and cadaver dog stumbled upon the remains of a missing prostitute. This discovery led to a wider investigation and the subsequent discovery of more remains. Police believe that one person is responsible for all the killings, although there are some who disagree. No suspects have been identified despite a $25,000 reward and more than 1,200 tips. The victims of the Gilgo Beach murders were mostly women who were involved in the sex trade. Their families are determined to seek justice for their loved ones and ensure that they are remembered as more than just anonymous prostitutes..
