A suspected serial killer has been arrested over the notorious Gilgo Beach murders in Long Island, The Post can confirm.

Rex Heuermann, 59, an architect at a New York City firm, was arrested at his home on 1st Ave. in Massapequa Park, multiple sources told The Post.

The suspect is due in court in hours, according to another source who did not confirm the identity.

The arrest is tied to the so-called “Gilgo Four,” women found wrapped in burlap within days of each other in late 2010, and not the other six who were later eyed as possibly being connected, the source said.

Multiple sources first confirmed the arrest to News 12 Long Island, which said that 1st Ave. was “just flooded with police.”

State and Suffolk County police — both at the scene since the early hours — did not officially confirm the arrest Friday but teased upcoming press conferences.

Heuermann is the owner and founder of Midtown architecture firm, RH Consultants and Associates, which counts Catholic Charities, NYC-DEP Sewerage Treatment, and American Airlines as its clients, according to its website.

In an interview posted to YouTube channel Bonjour Realty, Heuermann said he was “born and raised on Long Island.”

“I’ve been working in Manhattan since 1987, very long time,” he said.

I’ve seen a lot of names floating around over the years about this serial killer, but not his.

Yeah I don't know why I think that, maybe just also that he did turn out to be someone rich and powerful and of note which I always felt and many did.

Seeing his face brought intense disgust thinking this pig is the last face these women saw.

I am really curious on how this broke open.

Me too!

An architect? I never ever would’ve thought that someone into architecture would be a serial killer. Chills me to the bone.

I am so very curious. Did they crack this or was there some confession or something? Imo this was not a case being hard worked on these days or at least it sure didn't seem so and in fact sometimes never seemed to be. It is as out of the blue as the Delphi arrest was.

They are always working behind the scenes. Detectives are not good detectives if they aren’t keeping everything under the vest!

I’m going to assume that he left some evidence behind, and they finally had the technology to put it all together. If he was an architect and never been arrested, they didn’t have anything to run a DNA match. Then ancestry came up with a great idea…..

I guess our family doesn’t have any killers in it, at least not so far. My mom had her DNA ran through Ancestry a few years ago. We haven’t heard anything.

Exactly! By keeping it quiet, they do a better job of following the actual evidence. WE don't need all the info and sometimes it takes time to get enough evidence to be comfortable they can get a conviction.

Suspect taken into custody in Long Island serial killings, AP source says

A suspect has been taken into custody on New York’s Long Island in connection with a long-unsolved string of killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders. That's according to a

Law enforcement personnel converged on the small red house that had been raided early Friday in the suburb about 40 miles (64 km) east of midtown Manhattan. Dozens of residents mingled alongside police and media, watching as a half-dozen investigators in protective suits conferred outside the front porch, which was in disrepair, its roof propped up by 2-by-4s.

The home belonged to a family that had long kept to themselves, neighbors said, noting that the dilapidated property seemed out of place among rows of single family homes and well kept lawns in the small community.

“This house sticks out like a sore thumb. There were overgrown shrubs, there was always wood in front of the house,” said Gabriella Libardi, a 24-year-old teacher. “It was very creepy. I wouldn’t send my child there.”

Barry Auslander, another neighbor, said the man who lived in the house commuted by train to New York City each morning, wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase.


“It was weird. He looked like a businessman,” said Auslander. “But his house is a dump.”

Serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann left wife's DNA on bodies

Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park was flooded with cops this morning. It sits directly north of Gilgo Beach, with only the South Oyster Bay separating them.

<snip>

Heuermann was taken into custody outside his Manhattan office last night after he had left for the day. He has been arrested in connection with the first four murders; those of the 'Gilgo Beach four', who were all young prostitutes in their 20s.

Their bodies were all found in burlap sacks along the beach in December 2010. They had each been strangled. Another six women and a toddler were found in the following months. Police will continue to investigate whether or not Heuermann has any connection to those killings.

Today, Heurmann's home in Massapequa Park is flooded with cops. The modest property sits directly north of Gilgo Beach, where the bodies of 10 women and a toddler were found in 2010 and 2011, with only the South Oyster Bay separating them.

Among items seized from the property was a freezer.

Heuermann, who is married and has two kids, has lived in the house since the 1980s.

Law enforcement sources tell DailyMail.com he has been on their radar since last year. Investigators matched him to the crimes by tracking the phone calls made from burner phones to the victims' cell phones over 10 years ago.

The source added that 'good, old fashioned police work' cracked the case, rather than any DNA developments.

<snip>

The location of the phone calls matched Heuermann's home address and his office address.

It remains unclear what specific piece of evidence led to his arrest last night. He is due to go before a judge in Long Island at noon.

John Ray, an attorney representing the family of two of the victims, told DailyMail.com they were given warning a week ago that an arrest was imminent.

'We had a tip about a week ago that they were about to do this.

'We have two names but we obviously don't want to say unless we're 100% sure.'

He confirmed to DailyMail.com that Heuermann's name was among those they were looking into.

Maybe Lindbergh baby kidnapping (Hauptmann)?

Yeah but there were a lot of hints and such of corruption around this case and its investigation.

I agree in general though with cases and that they are hard at work and keeping an investigation quiet. Not sure I though on this one.

My mom did the DNA thing too. No killers I'm aware of either.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Maybe Lindbergh baby kidnapping (Hauptmann)?

Very well could be. Not sure. I keep thinking of the doctor or something, I don't know. Mixing up details and cases maybe.

 

[Whatsnext]

Wow. I somehow thought there would never be progress with this one . So glad for the victim's loved ones !
