Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann is linked to the death and disappearance of many victims and now police are holding a LIVE presser to share new information about more victims. Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect, is the alleged Long Island Serial Killer who could be facing several murder charges once he goes to trial. The Gilgo Beach serial killings refer to a series of murders that occurred on Long Island, New York, primarily along Ocean Parkway, between 1993 and 2011. The investigation was prompted by the search of Shannan Gilbert who went missing in 2010, and later led to the discovery of the remains of seven women, including the "Gilgo Four" who we now know as Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Police later identified victims Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, and Valerie Mack.All Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcast Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTubeVenmo Donations: @STSPodcast

Was Rex Heuermann Framed? Asa Ellerup Thinks It's Possible After Watching Gone Girls So the ex-wife of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer just watched a Netflix docuseries and now she's wondering if her former husband is the fall guy in one of the most disturbing serial killer cases in recent history. Asa Ellerup, who was married to Rex Heuermann for nearly three decades, isn't exactly screaming conspiracy theory from the rooftops—but after finishing Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, she's raising an eyebrow, maybe two. And honestly, when you dig into the history of corruption inside Suffolk County law enforcement, she might not be completely out of line to ask, “Wait… what if?” Let's start with the dirty laundry, because Suffolk County has more than a few skeletons in its own closet. James Burke, the former police chief, is now best remembered not for solving cases, but for going full WWE on a suspect who had the audacity to steal a duffel bag filled with porn and sex toys from his police-issued vehicle. Burke beat the guy, tried to cover it up, and got slapped with a 46-month prison sentence. Meanwhile, then–District Attorney Thomas Spota, instead of investigating Burke, allegedly helped sweep it all under the rug. He was eventually indicted for obstruction, corruption, and witness tampering. All of this—the beatdown, the porn bag, the cover-up—would be hilarious if it weren't so grotesquely real. Ellerup's legal team is now asking a very real question: if this is how Suffolk County handled its own mess, how can we trust anything in the case against Heuermann? Ellerup, who divorced Heuermann not long after his arrest, is reportedly keeping a close eye on his court proceedings, including the ongoing Frye hearing, which could determine whether the DNA evidence against him even makes it to trial. At the heart of the debate is a forensic method called “whole genome sequencing,” which sounds like something out of CSI: Space Edition. The defense calls it “magic,” prosecutors call it science. Dr. Kelley Harris, a highly respected geneticist from the University of Washington, spent an entire day testifying about how the process works and why it's legit. In layman's terms, it's a super-detailed way of matching DNA, and in this case, hairs found on the victims reportedly tie back to Heuermann or people close to him—like Ellerup and her children. Prosecutors claim these hairs were recovered from the remains or crime scenes of six of the seven victims. That's not small stuff. It could be the linchpin of the entire case. But again, the defense is arguing that this method has never been tested in a New York courtroom and shouldn't be trusted until it's vetted through the proper legal channels. Now, a brief rewind on the horror show that is the Gilgo Beach murders. From 1993 to 2011, a string of women—most of them sex workers—vanished after meeting clients. Their bodies were eventually found dumped in remote spots along Ocean Parkway. Some were bound. Some were dismembered. Many were discovered in pieces, scattered between different sites. It was like Long Island's own version of a true crime nightmare. Heuermann, a 61-year-old architect who looked more like a guy you'd call to fix your kitchen backsplash than a suspected serial killer, was arrested in July 2023. He's been charged with the murders of seven women so far: Amber Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. He's pleaded not guilty to every single one. And in a move that feels more like legal strategy than desperation, his defense is now asking the court to split the case into five separate trials. The Suffolk County DA's office insists there's no evidence the Heuermann family was involved. They were reportedly out of town during the alleged murders. But proximity and DNA are still in the spotlight. And then there's Netflix, adding fuel to the fire with Gone Girls. Directed by Liz Garbus, who also made Lost Girls based on the 2013 book by Robert Kolker, the series shifts focus from the killer to the victims—their families, their stories, and how the system repeatedly failed them. It doesn't exactly paint Suffolk County in a golden glow. Quite the opposite. And for Ellerup, it was enough to make her question whether her ex-husband was being thrown under the bus by a system with a very shaky track record. She's not denying the tragedy of the crimes. Her attorneys made it clear she extends her sympathies to the victims' families. But she also wants justice to be rooted in truth—not corruption, not cover-ups, and not convenience. For someone who shared a home, children, and a life with the accused, it's personal. Whether Heuermann is a monster hiding behind a suburban life or just a man caught in a very dark chapter of county corruption remains to be seen. But the courtroom drama is far from over. The judge still has to decide on the DNA evidence. And if you ask Asa Ellerup, that decision might just decide everything. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #TrueCrimeNetflix #AsaEllerup Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

​The "Gilgo Four" refers to four women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello—whose remains were discovered in December 2010 near Gilgo Beach on Long Island, New York. These women, who were sex workers advertising services online, went missing between 2007 and 2010. Their bodies were found within a quarter-mile of each other, wrapped in burlap, suggesting the work of a serial killer.Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island, was arrested in July 2023 in connection with these murders. He has been charged with multiple counts of first- and second-degree murder related to the deaths of Barthelemy, Waterman, and Costello, and is the prime suspect in Brainard-Barnes' death. Investigations linked Heuermann to the crimes through cellphone records, online searches, and DNA evidence obtained from a discarded pizza crust matching DNA found on one victim.

​In July 2023, Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island, was arrested in connection with the Gilgo Beach serial killings. Heuermann was charged with three counts of first-degree and three counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, whose remains were discovered in 2010 near Gilgo Beach. He was also named the prime suspect in the disappearance and death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.The arrest followed an extensive investigation that linked Heuermann to the victims through several key pieces of evidence. Cellphone records indicated communications between Heuermann and three of the victims. Additionally, an email account associated with him had been used to monitor the investigation's progress. DNA analysis played a crucial role; mitochondrial DNA from a pizza crust discarded by Heuermann matched DNA found on one victim. Further, hairs discovered on or near three victims were consistent with samples taken from items in the trash outside Heuermann's residence. Notably, during the times the murders occurred, Heuermann's wife and children were reportedly out of the state, aligning with the timeline of the killings. ​to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Challenges DNA Evidence, Seeks Separate Trials Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann appeared in a Long Island courtroom as his defense team formally filed motions challenging the case against him. Heuermann, an architect and father of two from Massapequa Park, is charged with seven of at least ten murders tied to the infamous Gilgo Beach killings. His legal team is pushing to separate the charges into multiple trials and is contesting key forensic evidence that prosecutors plan to use. His attorney, Michael Brown, filed a motion requesting that the seven murder charges be split into five separate trials.   The motion proposes that the first three victims be tried together, while the remaining four be handled individually. Brown argued that keeping all charges in one trial could unfairly influence a jury. "When you have count after count, charge after charge, it leads a jury despite a judge's instruction, it leads a jury to say you know what there's so much there," Brown stated. "He may not be guilty of this but maybe he's guilty of that and it's what we call accumulative effect." The defense is also challenging DNA evidence obtained from rootless hairs found at six of the crime scenes. Attorney Danielle Coysh argued that the forensic method used to analyze the hairs has not been widely accepted in the scientific community, making it inadmissible under state law. "It's never been the subject of any judicial testing or any standard so this is the first time in the United States that it will be done," Coysh said. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney pushed back on the defense's claims, stating that the DNA method—performed by Astrea Forensics, a California-based lab—is scientifically valid. "I would submit that this is the next generation of the evolution of the technology," Tierney said. "It's exciting to be at the forefront of that and we look forward to proving the scientific acceptance and effectiveness of this technology." Tierney has led the charge against Heuermann, working with the Gilgo Beach Task Force to bring charges against him. The latest development in the case comes after Heuermann was recently charged in the murder of Valerie Mack. Her remains were first discovered by a hunter's dog in 2000 in a wooded area of Manorville, Long Island. Mack's decapitated body was found inside a black plastic bag bound with rope and wrapped in duct tape. Both her hands and one of her legs were severed, according to court documents. The rest of her remains surfaced more than a decade later, in April 2011, near Gilgo Beach. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to Mack's murder, as well as the killings of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Costello, Jessica Taylor, and Sandra Costilla. Authorities have linked the murders to a string of victims found along Ocean Parkway between 1993 and 2010. His next court appearance is set for February 18. Judge Timothy Mazzei indicated that a hearing on the DNA evidence, known as a Frye hearing, will likely take place in late February or early March. Heuermann has denied all charges. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #TrueCrime #ColdCase #DNAEvidence #JusticeForVictims #LongIsland Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Tierney has led the charge against Heuermann, working with the Gilgo Beach Task Force to bring charges against him. The latest development in the case comes after Heuermann was recently charged in the murder of Valerie Mack. Her remains were first discovered by a hunter's dog in 2000 in a wooded area of Manorville, Long Island. Mack's decapitated body was found inside a black plastic bag bound with rope and wrapped in duct tape. Both her hands and one of her legs were severed, according to court documents. The rest of her remains surfaced more than a decade later, in April 2011, near Gilgo Beach. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to Mack's murder, as well as the killings of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Costello, Jessica Taylor, and Sandra Costilla. Authorities have linked the murders to a string of victims found along Ocean Parkway between 1993 and 2010. His next court appearance is set for February 18. Judge Timothy Mazzei indicated that a hearing on the DNA evidence, known as a Frye hearing, will likely take place in late February or early March. Heuermann has denied all charges. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #TrueCrime #ColdCase #DNAEvidence #JusticeForVictims #LongIsland Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann appeared in a Long Island courtroom as his defense team formally filed motions challenging the case against him. Heuermann, an architect and father of two from Massapequa Park, is charged with seven of at least ten murders tied to the infamous Gilgo Beach killings. His legal team is pushing to separate the charges into multiple trials and is contesting key forensic evidence that prosecutors plan to use. His attorney, Michael Brown, filed a motion requesting that the seven murder charges be split into five separate trials.  The motion proposes that the first three victims be tried together, while the remaining four be handled individually. Brown argued that keeping all charges in one trial could unfairly influence a jury. "When you have count after count, charge after charge, it leads a jury despite a judge's instruction, it leads a jury to say you know what there's so much there," Brown stated. "He may not be guilty of this but maybe he's guilty of that and it's what we call accumulative effect." The defense is also challenging DNA evidence obtained from rootless hairs found at six of the crime scenes. Attorney Danielle Coysh argued that the forensic method used to analyze the hairs has not been widely accepted in the scientific community, making it inadmissible under state law. "It's never been the subject of any judicial testing or any standard so this is the first time in the United States that it will be done," Coysh said. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney pushed back on the defense's claims, stating that the DNA method—performed by Astrea Forensics, a California-based lab—is scientifically valid.

Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has been charged with a seventh murder, as prosecutors revealed shocking new details tying him to the death of Valerie Mack, whose remains were discovered in 2000 and 2011. Heuermann, a 61-year-old New York architect, pleaded not guilty in court as investigators described evidence linking him to Mack's killing. Valerie Mack, who was 24 years old and working as an escort in Philadelphia, was last seen in New Jersey in 2000. Later that year, a hunter's dog found her decapitated body in a wooded area of Manorville, Long Island. Mack's remains were bound with rope, wrapped in a plastic bag sealed with duct tape, according to prosecutors. Her hands and part of one leg had been severed from her body. More than a decade later, in 2011, authorities found additional remains belonging to Mack along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach. These discoveries were part of a larger investigation into the notorious Gilgo Beach serial killings. Suffolk County prosecutors stated that mitochondrial DNA analysis played a critical role in identifying a link between Heuermann and Mack. A strand of hair found with Mack's remains matched the genetic profile of Heuermann's daughter, who would have been only 3 or 4 years old at the time of Mack's death. Prosecutors emphasized that his daughter is not suspected of any wrongdoing. Investigators also pointed to disturbing evidence seized during their investigation. Among Heuermann's possessions were 350 electronic devices containing violent pornography featuring bondage, torture, and mutilation. Prosecutors described these materials as eerily consistent with the condition in which Mack's body was found. A chilling discovery came in the form of a document, allegedly created in 2000, that prosecutors believe served as a "kill plan." Under a section labeled “supplies,” Heuermann had listed items such as “rope/cord,” “saw/cutting tools,” and “foam drain cleaner.” The document also contained a “body prep” section with a note to “remove head and hands.” Investigators said it included the name of one of the locations where Mack's remains were found. In addition, prosecutors said Heuermann kept newspaper clippings about the Gilgo Beach killings at his Massapequa Park home. Among the items were a 2003 New York Post article titled “Serial Killer Eyed in LI Slay” and a 1993 Newsday article headlined “Body Discovered in Woods.” Prosecutors argued these items were kept as “souvenirs or mementos” of his crimes. During the court appearance, Heuermann, shackled and wearing a suit, declared, “Your honor, I am not guilty of any of these charges.” Judge Timothy Mazzei ordered that Heuermann remain held without bail. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney underscored the importance of seeking justice for the victims. “The lives of these women matter. We, as investigators, understand that. No one understands that more than the families,” Tierney said during a news conference. Mack's parents, who attended the court proceedings, did not speak publicly. However, other victims' family members showed their support by presenting roses to Mack's parents and expressing solidarity. “They were, and they are, loved. And they are missed every day by those who knew them and who had a strong bond with them,” said Gloria Allred, who represents the families of Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, and Megan Waterman. Outside court, Heuermann's attorney, Michael Brown, challenged the prosecution's evidence, specifically questioning the reliability of the DNA analysis. Brown stated that hair samples were recovered more than a year ago and argued that the DNA methods used have not been validated in any New York case. Heuermann, who was initially arrested in July 2023, has also pleaded not guilty to the murders of six other women: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Costello, Jessica Taylor, and Sandra Costilla. The Gilgo Beach killings span decades, with the earliest victim discovered in 1993 and additional remains uncovered as recently as 2011. The case remains one of the most infamous serial murder investigations in New York history. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #ValerieMack #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #JusticeForVictims #LongIslandMurders Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Heuermann, a 61-year-old New York architect, pleaded not guilty in court as investigators described evidence linking him to Mack's killing. Valerie Mack, who was 24 years old and working as an escort in Philadelphia, was last seen in New Jersey in 2000. Later that year, a hunter's dog found her decapitated body in a wooded area of Manorville, Long Island. Mack's remains were bound with rope, wrapped in a plastic bag sealed with duct tape, according to prosecutors. Her hands and part of one leg had been severed from her body. More than a decade later, in 2011, authorities found additional remains belonging to Mack along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach. These discoveries were part of a larger investigation into the notorious Gilgo Beach serial killings. Suffolk County prosecutors stated that mitochondrial DNA analysis played a critical role in identifying a link between Heuermann and Mack. A strand of hair found with Mack's remains matched the genetic profile of Heuermann's daughter, who would have been only 3 or 4 years old at the time of Mack's death. Prosecutors emphasized that his daughter is not suspected of any wrongdoing. Investigators also pointed to disturbing evidence seized during their investigation. Among Heuermann's possessions were 350 electronic devices containing violent pornography featuring bondage, torture, and mutilation. Prosecutors described these materials as eerily consistent with the condition in which Mack's body was found. A chilling discovery came in the form of a document, allegedly created in 2000, that prosecutors believe served as a "kill plan." Under a section labeled “supplies,” Heuermann had listed items such as “rope/cord,” “saw/cutting tools,” and “foam drain cleaner.” The document also contained a “body prep” section with a note to “remove head and hands.” Investigators said it included the name of one of the locations where Mack's remains were found. In addition, prosecutors said Heuermann kept newspaper clippings about the Gilgo Beach killings at his Massapequa Park home. Among the items were a 2003 New York Post article titled “Serial Killer Eyed in LI Slay” and a 1993 Newsday article headlined “Body Discovered in Woods.” Prosecutors argued these items were kept as “souvenirs or mementos” of his crimes. During the court appearance, Heuermann, shackled and wearing a suit, declared, “Your honor, I am not guilty of any of these charges.” Judge Timothy Mazzei ordered that Heuermann remain held without bail. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney underscored the importance of seeking justice for the victims. “The lives of these women matter. We, as investigators, understand that. No one understands that more than the families,” Tierney said during a news conference. Mack's parents, who attended the court proceedings, did not speak publicly. However, other victims' family members showed their support by presenting roses to Mack's parents and expressing solidarity. “They were, and they are, loved. And they are missed every day by those who knew them and who had a strong bond with them,” said Gloria Allred, who represents the families of Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Jessica Taylor, and Megan Waterman. Outside court, Heuermann's attorney, Michael Brown, challenged the prosecution's evidence, specifically questioning the reliability of the DNA analysis. Brown stated that hair samples were recovered more than a year ago and argued that the DNA methods used have not been validated in any New York case. Heuermann, who was initially arrested in July 2023, has also pleaded not guilty to the murders of six other women: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Costello, Jessica Taylor, and Sandra Costilla. The Gilgo Beach killings span decades, with the earliest victim discovered in 1993 and additional remains uncovered as recently as 2011. The case remains one of the most infamous serial murder investigations in New York history. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #ValerieMack #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #JusticeForVictims #LongIslandMurders Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Authorities in New York State have released new information about a suspected victim of the alleged Long Island Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, known as "Asian Doe." The remains of this unidentified individual, believed to have been a biological male of southern Chinese descent, were discovered in April 2011 in Nassau County. The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office announced that "Asian Doe" likely died from blunt force trauma and may have been involved in sex work prior to their death, which is estimated to have occurred during or before 2006. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney provided details during a press conference, stating, "Unfortunately, this victim suffered a violent death." He elaborated that the victim was found wearing women's clothing, including a bra and a pair of women's pants, indicating that "Asian Doe" may have identified as a woman or was known as one by others. The victim is believed to have been between the ages of 17 and 23 at the time of death. The remains were uncovered on April 4, 2011, along Ocean Parkway, where they had reportedly been for at least five years before discovery. To aid in identifying "Asian Doe," the DA's office released several facial reconstructions depicting what the victim may have looked like prior to their death, showcasing both male and female representations. "We are hopeful that with this new information and the community's assistance, we will be able to identify 'Asian Doe' and bring a resolution to the case," Tierney said, emphasizing the importance of community engagement. In an effort to reach a wider audience, information regarding the victim has been made available in multiple languages, including Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, and Bahasa Indonesian. The investigation into "Asian Doe" comes as Heuermann faces serious allegations. Arrested on July 13, 2023, he has been charged with murdering six women, with the most recent charges announced in June of this year. The victims, including Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, and Jessica Taylor, have been linked to the Gilgo Beach murders, a series of killings that have haunted Long Island for over a decade. While authorities have not definitively linked "Asian Doe" to Heuermann, the ongoing investigation has drawn attention to the possibility. When questioned about any connection, Tierney noted, "Each one of these victims is a separate crime scene. ... We don't talk about it until we're able to charge someone." He urged anyone with information regarding "Asian Doe" to come forward, stating, "The task force does not forget victims and we will not stop in our pursuit of justice." A $2,500 reward has been offered for information leading to the identification of "Asian Doe." Those with relevant information are encouraged to contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. The case of "Asian Doe" serves as a grim reminder of the unresolved mysteries surrounding the Long Island Serial Killer, with investigators continuing to search for answers. Tierney emphasized the need for community cooperation, urging that someone must have known the victim before their tragic end. "Prior to 2006, this person had friends, possible classmates or coworkers, and a family – someone must know who they are," he stated. As the investigation progresses, the DA's office remains committed to uncovering the truth and bringing closure to the families affected by these tragic events.

Investigators have made a significant connection in the Gilgo Beach murder case, linking one of the phone numbers listed in an alleged planning document belonging to Rex A. Heuermann, the prime suspect, to a former Bronx sex worker. This discovery sheds new light on the case, which has captivated the public for years. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney made the phone number public in June 2023, seeking help from the public in identifying a woman who may have been targeted by Heuermann around 2002. The number has now been traced to Danielle Goodling, a former Bronx sex worker who died in 2021 from an apparent drug overdose, according to her family. Goodling's involvement in the case highlights the brutal reality of the crimes Heuermann is accused of committing. Goodling worked as a sex worker in New York during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period when Heuermann is alleged to have been planning his heinous acts. She had multiple arrests, two of which occurred in 2002 near Heuermann's former office, raising questions about whether their paths might have crossed. The second phone number found in the document, a pager number, remains unverified. Investigators are continuing their efforts to determine its relevance to the case. According to authorities, Heuermann used the planning document between 2000 and 2002, outlining his methods for carrying out his crimes and evading law enforcement. The document included phone numbers associated with individuals identified as "Megan?" and "Target 1," which may refer to Goodling, though her mother, Cindy Fitt, has stated she does not recall her daughter using the name Megan. The connection between Goodling and Heuermann adds another layer to the complex and disturbing investigation. On July 13, 2023, Heuermann, now 60, was arrested outside his Manhattan office in connection with the 2010 murders of Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; and Amber Costello, 27, according to reports from Front Page Detectives. These women, along with Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, whose remains were found near the others, became known as the "Gilgo Four." The scope of the case widened as authorities continued their investigation. In June 2024, Heuermann was charged with the alleged murders of Jessica Taylor in 2003 and Sandra Costilla in 1993. These charges brought the total number of alleged victims to six, all of whom were involved in sex work, according to prosecutors. The timeline of the crimes spans three decades, from Costilla's 1993 death to Heuermann's arrest in 2023. Despite the mounting evidence and the gravity of the charges against him, Heuermann has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to all charges. The ongoing investigation continues to uncover more details about Heuermann's activities and potential victims, as law enforcement works to bring justice to the families of the victims. The revelation of Goodling's connection to one of the phone numbers in Heuermann's planning document is a critical piece of evidence in the broader case.

Investigators have made a significant connection in the Gilgo Beach murder case, linking one of the phone numbers listed in an alleged planning document belonging to Rex A. Heuermann, the prime suspect, to a former Bronx sex worker. This discovery sheds new light on the case, which has captivated the public for years. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney made the phone number public in June 2023, seeking help from the public in identifying a woman who may have been targeted by Heuermann around 2002. The number has now been traced to Danielle Goodling, a former Bronx sex worker who died in 2021 from an apparent drug overdose, according to her family. Goodling's involvement in the case highlights the brutal reality of the crimes Heuermann is accused of committing. Goodling worked as a sex worker in New York during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period when Heuermann is alleged to have been planning his heinous acts. She had multiple arrests, two of which occurred in 2002 near Heuermann's former office, raising questions about whether their paths might have crossed. The second phone number found in the document, a pager number, remains unverified. Investigators are continuing their efforts to determine its relevance to the case. According to authorities, Heuermann used the planning document between 2000 and 2002, outlining his methods for carrying out his crimes and evading law enforcement. The document included phone numbers associated with individuals identified as "Megan?" and "Target 1," which may refer to Goodling, though her mother, Cindy Fitt, has stated she does not recall her daughter using the name Megan. The connection between Goodling and Heuermann adds another layer to the complex and disturbing investigation. On July 13, 2023, Heuermann, now 60, was arrested outside his Manhattan office in connection with the 2010 murders of Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; and Amber Costello, 27, according to reports from Front Page Detectives. These women, along with Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, whose remains were found near the others, became known as the "Gilgo Four." The scope of the case widened as authorities continued their investigation. In June 2024, Heuermann was charged with the alleged murders of Jessica Taylor in 2003 and Sandra Costilla in 1993. These charges brought the total number of alleged victims to six, all of whom were involved in sex work, according to prosecutors. The timeline of the crimes spans three decades, from Costilla's 1993 death to Heuermann's arrest in 2023. Despite the mounting evidence and the gravity of the charges against him, Heuermann has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to all charges. The ongoing investigation continues to uncover more details about Heuermann's activities and potential victims, as law enforcement works to bring justice to the families of the victims. The revelation of Goodling's connection to one of the phone numbers in Heuermann's planning document is a critical piece of evidence in the broader case.

The one year anniversary of arrest of Rex Heuermann, new evidence. #rexheuermann #gilgobeach #sandracostilla Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer charged in six killings is now being eyed by investigators for even more, nearly one year to the day that the Manhattan architect, husband, and father of two was arrested. Heuermann was arrested on July 13 and charged the next day on July 14. His dilapidated Massapequa Park home was turned into the epicenter of a massive search for evidence by state and Suffolk County police, Sherriff's deputies, and the FBI. Investigators believe many murders happened inside. "Rex is just a strange guy," said his next-door neighbor, Etienne. That search led to another of thousands of wooded acres in Manorville this year, bringing the previous charges in the deaths of four women up to six last month. "This year has been 21 years since she was taken from us - longer than the chance that she got to be alive," said Jessica Taylor's cousin, Jasmine Robinson. Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, Sandra Costilla, and Jessica Taylor were all murdered. Mostly prostitutes, most of their bodies were found at Gilgo Beach along Long Island's South Shore. (WABC)

In a significant development in the Gilgo Beach serial killings case, suspect Rex Heuermann was charged Thursday with the murders of two additional women, Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla. This brings the total number of his alleged killings to six. The charges, announced by Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney, extend the timeline of Heuermann's alleged criminal activities, with the first murder now dated back to 1993. According to court documents, Heuermann was charged with the 2003 murder of Jessica Taylor, whose remains were discovered in Gilgo Beach and Manorville, and accused of the 1993 murder of Sandra Costilla, whose remains were found in North Sea, Long Island. "The architect and father meticulously planned and executed six separate murders," said Tierney during a news conference on Thursday. A significant breakthrough in the case came from a digital "planning document" found on one of 350 electronic devices seized from Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park, New York. This document contained a checklist detailing how to package a body for transport, avoid leaving DNA traces, and other steps to ensure the success of his gruesome acts. There were notes indicating steps to take "next time," such as considering a hit to the face or neck and using heavier rope for the neck. "Heuermann wrote about the importance of sleep to avoid 'PROBLEMS' and to increase what he referred to as 'PLAY TIME,' believed to reference sexual and mutilation acts on victims," court documents reveal. The planning document also included a "post-event" checklist with tasks to avoid apprehension, such as "BURN GLOVES," "DISPOSE OF PICS," and "HAVE STORY SET." Jessica Taylor, a sex worker in midtown Manhattan, was last seen in the same area where Heuermann worked. Taylor was decapitated and dismembered, with her remains discovered in stages over several years. DNA from hair found on a surgical drape underneath her body helped link Heuermann to her death. Sandra Costilla, 28, was found in a wooded area in North Sea, Long Island, in 1993. DNA evidence also connected Heuermann to her murder. "Pornographic images accessed by Heuermann notably and largely coincide with how the remains of Taylor and Costilla were found," prosecutors noted. Heuermann was initially arrested in July and charged with the murders of Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Melissa Barthelemy, all escorts whose remains were found in desolate spots near Gilgo Beach in 2010. He was later charged with the murder of a fourth escort, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Six additional sets of remains were also found in the area. In court on Thursday, Heuermann pleaded not guilty to the new charges. His defense attorney reiterated his innocence. Heuermann remains in custody without bail and is scheduled to return to court on July 30. District Attorney Tierney stated that Heuermann is now the leading suspect in the death of Valerie Mack, whose remains were found in Manorville near Jessica Taylor's. Investigators will continue to review over 30 years of crimes in Suffolk County and beyond to see what else might be connected to Heuermann. This case continues to unfold as authorities piece together the extent of Heuermann's alleged crimes, bringing some measure of closure to the families of the victims. The investigation remains ongoing, with the hope that further evidence will emerge to solidify the case against Heuermann. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a significant development in the Gilgo Beach serial killings case, suspect Rex Heuermann was charged Thursday with the murders of two additional women, Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla. This brings the total number of his alleged killings to six. The charges, announced by Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney, extend the timeline of Heuermann's alleged criminal activities, with the first murder now dated back to 1993. According to court documents, Heuermann was charged with the 2003 murder of Jessica Taylor, whose remains were discovered in Gilgo Beach and Manorville, and accused of the 1993 murder of Sandra Costilla, whose remains were found in North Sea, Long Island. "The architect and father meticulously planned and executed six separate murders," said Tierney during a news conference on Thursday. A significant breakthrough in the case came from a digital "planning document" found on one of 350 electronic devices seized from Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park, New York. This document contained a checklist detailing how to package a body for transport, avoid leaving DNA traces, and other steps to ensure the success of his gruesome acts. There were notes indicating steps to take "next time," such as considering a hit to the face or neck and using heavier rope for the neck. "Heuermann wrote about the importance of sleep to avoid 'PROBLEMS' and to increase what he referred to as 'PLAY TIME,' believed to reference sexual and mutilation acts on victims," court documents reveal. The planning document also included a "post-event" checklist with tasks to avoid apprehension, such as "BURN GLOVES," "DISPOSE OF PICS," and "HAVE STORY SET." Jessica Taylor, a sex worker in midtown Manhattan, was last seen in the same area where Heuermann worked. Taylor was decapitated and dismembered, with her remains discovered in stages over several years. DNA from hair found on a surgical drape underneath her body helped link Heuermann to her death. Sandra Costilla, 28, was found in a wooded area in North Sea, Long Island, in 1993. DNA evidence also connected Heuermann to her murder. "Pornographic images accessed by Heuermann notably and largely coincide with how the remains of Taylor and Costilla were found," prosecutors noted. Heuermann was initially arrested in July and charged with the murders of Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Melissa Barthelemy, all escorts whose remains were found in desolate spots near Gilgo Beach in 2010. He was later charged with the murder of a fourth escort, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Six additional sets of remains were also found in the area. In court on Thursday, Heuermann pleaded not guilty to the new charges. His defense attorney reiterated his innocence. Heuermann remains in custody without bail and is scheduled to return to court on July 30. District Attorney Tierney stated that Heuermann is now the leading suspect in the death of Valerie Mack, whose remains were found in Manorville near Jessica Taylor's. Investigators will continue to review over 30 years of crimes in Suffolk County and beyond to see what else might be connected to Heuermann. This case continues to unfold as authorities piece together the extent of Heuermann's alleged crimes, bringing some measure of closure to the families of the victims. The investigation remains ongoing, with the hope that further evidence will emerge to solidify the case against Heuermann. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The 6'6" ogre is being indicted for a 5th murder in the Gilgo Beach case. #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostilla #ValerieMack Live press conference at 11:00 AM. Long Island, New York, investigators have linked a fifth alleged victim to Rex Heuermann, the suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer who was accused last year of murdering four women and dumping their bodies along a remote highway more than a decade ago, sources tell Fox News Digital. The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office declined to comment but acknowledged that Heuermann is due back in court Thursday morning for a previously unscheduled hearing. Unnamed sources told Newsday, the local newspaper, that the suspected serial killer has already been indicted on unspecified charges in connection with new developments in the case. A task force including police K-9s from Suffolk County, the NYPD and New York State uncovered evidence in Manorville in April, a month before investigators returned to Heuermann's house in May for a second search warrant. In July 2023, they arrested Heuermann outside his Manhattan architecture firm and spent nearly two weeks scouring through his home in Massapequa Park, about 20 minutes from where police found the bodies of Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; and Amber Costello, 27, in 2010. Prosecutors later tacked on charges for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, whose remains they found near the others. Collectively, those women are known as the Gilgo Four because they were found close together and under similar circumstances. (Fox News)  

Rex Heuermann is a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, Long Island. He operated a Manhattan-based architectural firm, RH Consultants & Associates, and had over 30 years of experience in the field.

He was initially charged with the murders of three women: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. These women, along with Maureen Brainard-Barnes, who Heuermann was later charged with murdering, are known as the "Gilgo Four"The "Gilgo Four" were all sex workers who disappeared at different times and whose bodies were found bound and wrapped in burlap along a quarter-mile stretch of Gilgo Beach between 2007 and 2010. The remains of these women were discovered in December 2010 during the search for another missing woman, Shannan Gilbert.Evidence and InvestigationAuthorities linked Heuermann to the murders through several pieces of evidence:DNA Evidence: A male hair found on Megan Waterman's body was matched to Heuermann through DNA analysis.Burner Phones: Heuermann allegedly used burner phones to contact the victims and to search for information about the case.Internet Search History: His internet history showed an obsession with the Gilgo Beach case, including searches related to the victims and the investigation​ Defense and Legal ProceedingsHeuermann's defense attorney, Michael Brown, has raised questions about the involvement of former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke in the investigation, alleging potential suppression of the FBI's involvement.Brown is also exploring the possibility of another suspect, a former police officer with the initials "W.H.," which matched initials found on a belt related to one of the victims​.Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence. The case is complex, with a vast amount of evidence to be reviewed, and a trial is still a long way from taking place.   Now, however, as more details are revealed, Rex Heuermann is about to be charged with two more murders.    Jessica Taylor And Valerie Mack. Let's dive in and get caught up!(commercial at 7:09)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann to be indicted for murdering TWO more women | Daily Mail Online

In a recent development in the Long Island Gilgo Beach serial killer case, 59-year-old suspect Rex Heuermann is expected to be indicted on a fifth murder charge this Thursday, according to multiple news reports. Heuermann was previously charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, Megan Waterman, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose remains were found at Gilgo Beach in December 2010. Although the identity of the fifth alleged victim has not been released, the case highlights the ongoing investigation into the other six sets of remains discovered near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney previously stated that authorities are still looking into these cases. As part of their investigation, law enforcement personnel searched the house shared by Heuermann and his wife, Asa Ellerup. During the six-day search, authorities focused primarily on the basement, and various items were reportedly taken from the property. Ellerup's attorney, Bob Macedonio, mentioned that while items were removed from the house, he couldn't discuss the specifics at this time. Heuermann's family claims that investigators ``ransacked" their home, causing considerable damage to their property. The Gilgo Beach serial killer case has left Ellerup's family in turmoil, with the ongoing investigation and the shocking allegations against her husband. District Attorney Tierney's dedication to the case demonstrates the commitment to bringing closure to the families of the victims and addressing the complex questions surrounding the unidentified remains. As more evidence is uncovered and additional charges are brought against Heuermann, the community continues to grapple with the terrifying events that occurred more than a decade ago.

A significant search operation is underway in a wooded area off the Long Island Expressway in Manorville as part of the ongoing investigation into the notorious Gilgo Beach murders, according to law enforcement sources. The search began early last week and continued for several days, involving multiple police agencies. The Suffolk County Police, New York Police Department, and New York State Police are collaborating in this extensive search, with assistance from two NYPD Emergency Services Unit K-9s. These efforts focus on an area near exit 70, a region previously linked to parts of this complex case. "The Suffolk County Police Department, the New York Police Department, and the New York State Police are working with the District Attorney's Office on an ongoing investigation," stated the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. "We do not comment on investigative steps while they are underway. We will make further statements when appropriate." This renewed search comes after Rex Heuermann was charged with the murders of four women, whose bodies were discovered near Gilgo Beach more than a decade ago. These women, known as the "Gilgo Four," include Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, and Amber Costello. Despite Heuermann's not guilty plea, the investigation seeks to determine if he can be connected to additional victims found in the area. Manorville has surfaced in discussions about the Gilgo Beach murders before. Notably, it was the site where the remains of Jessica Taylor, a 20-year-old sex worker, were discovered in March 2011, several miles from where the "Gilgo Four" were found. Taylor's other remains had been found in the same area in July 2003. Similarly, the remains of Valerie Mack, a 24-year-old escort, were located about a mile and a half east of Taylor's remains in April 2011, with partial remains also discovered in Manorville back in September 2000. Authorities have hinted at a possible connection between the remains of Taylor and Mack, though no charges have been filed in relation to their deaths. The current search may be an effort to find further evidence that could link these cases or uncover new clues in the chilling series of unsolved crimes. As the community watches closely, law enforcement continues to piece together the fragments of a puzzle that has haunted Long Island for years. The outcome of this search could provide crucial evidence needed to bring further closure to the victims' families and clarity to a case that has gripped the public's imagination with its mysteries and horrors.
