MASSAPEQUA PARK, NY — Investigators returned Monday to the home of a New York architect accused of a series of murders known as the Gilgo Beach murders.
State and county police vehicles were seen outside Rex Heuermann’s single-family home in Massapequa Park on Long Island before 9 a.m.
Spokespeople for the New York State Police and the Suffolk County Police Department deferred questions to the office of Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, which declined to comment.
“As District Attorney Tierney has previously stated, the work of the Gilgo Beach Homicide Taskforce continues,” his spokesperson Tania Lopez said in an emailed statement. “We do not comment on ongoing investigations.”
Attorneys for Heuermann and his family did not respond to emails seeking comment.
Heuermann, 60, is expected to be back in court on June 18 for a status hearing in Suffolk County Criminal Court in Riverhead. No trial date has been set.
In January, he was charged in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, who disappeared in 2007 and whose remains were found more than three years later along a coastal road on Long Island.
The formal charges came months after authorities identified him as the prime suspect in the Connecticut mother’s death when he was arrested in July for the deaths of three other women.
