“Former FBI Profiler Believes More Victims Exist After Arrest of Gilgo Beach Serial Suspect Rex Heuermann”

Investigators are operating under the belief that there may be more victims after the recent arrest of Rex Heuermann, the suspect in the Gilgo Beach serial killings. Heuermann has been charged with six counts of murder, including first and second-degree murder for each of the three identified victims: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. He pleaded not guilty to all charges during a court hearing on Friday.

Mary Ellen O’Toole, a former FBI profiler, has stated that investigators are likely working on the theory that there are additional victims. O’Toole believes that serial killers typically start to act out in their early to mid-twenties, so investigators may be looking into cases that were previously unsolved and expanding their search beyond New York State.

Heuermann, who is married with two children, worked as an architect in Manhattan while living on Long Island. Investigators may go back in time and examine his college years and earlier to establish a timeline of his activities and potential connections to other unsolved cases.

The arrest of Heuermann has brought renewed attention to the Gilgo Beach murders, a series of killings that occurred between 2010 and 2011. The investigation into these murders has been ongoing for years, and Heuermann’s arrest may provide new leads and insights into the case.

The arrest and charges against Heuermann highlight the dedicated work of law enforcement and the perseverance of investigators in solving cold cases. As the investigation continues, it is hoped that justice will be served for all the victims and their families.
