FBI searches SC property owned by Gilgo Beach serial killer's relative

Investigators searched a property owned by the family member of a man accused of murdering three people in New York tied to a series of unsolved killings that span roughly 15 years.

The FBI told NBC News on Monday that the agency conducted a search of property owned by a relative of Rex Heuermann, a 59-year-old man charged in three deaths linked to the "Gilgo Beach" murders.

Chester County deputies assisted with seizing Heuermann's truck in the area, the sheriff's office confirmed on Monday.

Property records show that Heuermann's brother owns a home on Rippling Brooke Drive north of Chester. Heuermann owns a plot of land on the same street, according to property records.

Heuermann was linked to the murders after investigators used DNA on pizza he ate to genetic material found on the human remains of one of the victims. He is accused of killing Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello.

There’s more, there’s always more. Whether you find them or not 😮

[Circumvenscion]

Pretty sure you forgot the word "suspect" in your headline there, folks. Can't go calling someone a killer before a trial and conviction. Basic journalistic ethics.

[SteimieStinker]

I am sure there will be more than just 4 bodies.

If this guy is found guilty, then give him the death sentence, until then don't put him in the media. If it turns out that he is not guilty, his life will be a living hell due to media defamation.

Did you guys forget to call him “accused serial killer”?

[Bunnybella]

Well I got that the actual truck was seized in Chester South Carolina and maybe we should be doing some work on deaths here in SC also. Living in SC, those are my thoughts. Even if it’s just making sure any unsolved murders in the area that DNA was able to be collected, that DNA is uploaded in the criminal database. Now that his DNA is available for comparison.

Serial killers just aren’t how they used to be back then. Did this Guy have a motive?

[renewhipple]

They only had a search warrant for the truck

"Innocent until proven guilty.." Of course.

This case makes me vomit..

Really, straight-barfing.

What, another object-lesson for "concealed-carry.."


God bless the women and their families.

Didn’t that one girl call from a gated community and was in a Doctors/John’s house right by the shore?

I'm going to laugh if this guy if found to be not guilty. Because the news has already condemned him. To the world this guy is already guilty and should be put to death. so even if he is found to be the wrong guy, it does not matter his life is ruined and he will never be able to live as himself again. He may be the guy, I don't know, but that's the point I'm making "WE DONT KNOW" but the media wants us to believe he is even before we find out.. sad

Did y'all know he had, a really good childhood.

Fbi found rex heuermann vehicle at this brother craig heuermann home

[goochpanooch]

If he's 59. Just think for 1. Serial Killers start on Animals. How many animals were killed ? And at 59 what's his human body count ? I feel like its close to 20. Also I can't help but wonder, why did he dump the bodies so close to the water but not IN the water. Good thing he didn't though or he may not have been caught

[skwalka]

There is something terrifyingly Trump-like about that face, isn't there?

[DngrDan]

Why report news when there is now news to report? Wow they're searching the home of a known serial killer, crazy. Let us know when they find something interesting..

Deuteronomy 25:1-2

“If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges decide their case, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked,  then it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall then make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of stripes according to his guilt.
