Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Suspect Facing Fifth Murder Charge, Investigation Continues

Murder In The Morning | Daily True Crime News

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.
