Gilgo Beach murders: Suspect appears in court facing charges in 4th murder

Global News published this video item, entitled “Gilgo Beach murders: Suspect appears in court facing charges in 4th murder” – below is their description.

Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann appeared in court Tuesday on Long Island to face charges in the murder of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

Heuermann was arrested last summer and charged with killing three women —Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello — whose bodies were found along Gilgo Beach in 2010.

Heuermann was arrested in July of 2023 after investigators said DNA collected from discarded pizza and burner phone evidence tied him to the murders.

Investigators had been searching for a missing woman, Shannen Gilbert, when they discovered the four other sets of remains in December 2021.

Known as the Gilgo Four, they were later identified as Barthelmy, Waterman, Costello and Brainard-Barnes — all women in their 20s who disappeared between 2007 and 2010.

The 60-year-old pleaded not guilty and has been held without bail since his arrest. He has not been charged in connection with Gilbert’s death.
