Suspect accused in Gilgo Beach murders arrested at family’s home | USA TODAY

Authorities in Long Island, New York, arrested a suspect in the Gilgo Beach killings years after the discovery of 11 sets of human remains. RELATED: The bodies of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello were found wrapped in burlap days apart from each other. The body of another woman Maureen Brainard-Barnes was also found wrapped in burlap at the time. He has not been charged with her murder, but he is the "prime suspect in her death," authorities said. New York architect Rex Heuermann, 59, pleaded not guilty Friday to three counts each of first- and- second degree murder in connection with the case on Long Island, where the remains of at least 10 bodies were discovered more than a decade ago, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Friday. » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: https://bit.ly/3GqYgdk » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #GilgoBeach #LongIsland #Coldcase
