According to sources, Rex Heuermann, the suspect in the Gilgo Beach murders, will be indicted on a new murder charge this week. The Suffolk County District Attorney, Raymond Tierney, announced that a court proceeding in the Gilgo Beach case is scheduled for Thursday.

The specific details of the new charge have not yet been released by the authorities. However, in May, investigators conducted a surprise visit to Heuermann's home on Long Island, searching for new evidence. Neighbors reported that the investigators focused their attention on the basement during their search.

Previous searches of Heuermann's property yielded a significant number of weapons and smart devices allegedly used to contact and research sex workers, as stated in court documents. In April, members of the Gilgo Beach Homicide Task Force were spotted combing through the Manorville Pine Barrens.

Heuermann, an architect working in Manhattan, has been held without bail since his arrest in July 2023 for the killings of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. Their bodies were discovered in shallow graves near Gilgo Beach in 2010. Heuermann entered a plea of not guilty to all charges.

The remains of a total of 11 people were found in the Gilgo Beach area between 1996 and 2011, leading to an ongoing investigation that has spanned several years.

District Attorney Tierney emphasized that this is an ongoing investigation, and numerous necessary steps have been taken to gather evidence. He added, "Thursday, you will see the fruits of that investigation."

Heuermann's attorney has declined to provide any comments regarding the upcoming court proceeding. As the case continues to unfold, authorities are committed to seeking justice for the victims and their families affected by the Gilgo Beach murders.
