The Long Island architect charged with murdering three women in what have become known as the Gilgo Beach serial killings kept approximately 279 guns at the “cluttered” home where he lived with his family, officials said Tuesday.
Rex A. Heuermann’s cache of weapons included long guns, in addition to the 92 handguns for which he had permits, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney told reporters gathered outside the suspect’s low-slung house in Massapequa Park, N.Y.
. The search for traces of blood, DNA or victims’ hair fibers, as well as more tangible evidence, yielded what Tierney categorized as “a massive amount of material.”“We won’t know exactly what we have for quite some time, just given the sheer volume of evidence that was taken,” he said at the news conference.
Heuermann’s July 13 arrest marked the first major break in the case — which sparked a seven-part podcast and a Netflix series — since authorities found the remains of Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy and Megan Waterman along Long Island’s south shore in 2010. All the women were in their 20s and performed sex work.also were discovered in the same string of remote seaside towns, bringing the total number of dead to 11.
