After more than ten years of a series of killings on Long Island remaining unsolved, an architect has been arrested and charged in connection to the deaths of three women.
Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old resident of Massapequa Park, N.Y., was arrested Thursday night in Manhattan and formally charged on Friday with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello.
He is also considered the top suspect in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
Heuermann’s attorney entered a not guilty plea for his client in court on Friday. The judge in the case ordered Heuermann to be held without bail based on “the extreme depravity” of the allegations against him.
