It is believed that ten deaths found near Gilgo Beach are connected to the case as a whole.
In connection with the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello, Heuermann is accused of first-degree murder.
Police had gone through a variety of leads before making an arrest, from the straightforward—such as a belt with a single initial wrapped around one of the victims—to the intricate—such as the electrical signals of disposable cell phones.
Their bodies were found on a section of the beach about a quarter mile apart, draped in burlap used as hunting camouflage.
Each of them worked as an escort and was in their twenties. Sometime between 2009 and 2010, they disappeared.
Similar to these two ladies, the remains of a fourth woman, 25-year-old Maureen Brainard Barnes, who was reported missing in July 2007, were found next to their bodies.
Heuermann was not prosecuted for the slaying of Brainard.
However, a bail application filed by Suffolk County’s top assistant district attorney, Allen Bode, states that “he is the leading suspect in her death.”
