Massapequa Park, NY – In a startling revelation, Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison announced that investigators have confiscated multiple items from the home of Rex Heuermann in connection to the infamous Gilgo murders. Heuermann now faces first- and second-degree murder charges linked to the deaths of three Gilgo victims: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. Additionally, he is considered a prime suspect in a fourth murder case.
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting the presence of a soundproof room, Commissioner Harrison denied these claims. However, he did confirm the existence of a vault in Heuermann’s residence where multiple firearms were stored. While it remains uncertain if any of the victims were ever inside Heuermann’s house, investigators are meticulously scouring every nook and cranny to ensure no evidence goes unnoticed.
To aid in the search, authorities have employed the use of a backhoe and ground penetrating radar, primarily focusing on detecting potential items in the backyard that might be crucial to the case. The decision to search the backyard was not spurred by any specific intelligence but rather a comprehensive and systematic approach to the investigation.
Once the search at Heuermann’s residence concludes, the task force will continue its efforts, potentially expanding its reach to other locations on Long Island. The ongoing investigation has left Heuermann’s neighbors bewildered and captivated by the magnitude of the crimes allegedly committed in their midst.
Though authorities have not officially confirmed it, investigators strongly believe that one of the murders may have taken place within Heuermann’s home. Furthermore, Suffolk police are exploring potential connections between Heuermann and unsolved cases in other parts of the country, suggesting a possible link to a more extensive criminal network.
At this time, the investigation at Heuermann’s home is expected to conclude by the end of the week, but Commissioner Harrison hinted that it could reach its conclusion as early as Tuesday. Following the investigation, Suffolk and Nassau police will collaborate to evaluate the need for additional police resources in the area.
