Long Island NY, Criminologist Scott Bonn pinpointed a dozen years ago that the Gilgo Beach serial killer was probably an educated, professional white male with a family living on the South Shore of Long Island.
Bulls-eye, the suspected “Long Island Serial Killer” or “Gilgo Beach Serial killer” Rex Heuermann was arrested in Manhattan in New York City on Thursday night in connection to the Gilgo Beach murders, police say.
Hours after his arrest, law enforcement arrived to start searching a home in Massapequa Park, New York — 25 minutes from where 11 sets of human remains were found along a suburban beach highway in 2010 and 2011
Heuermann is a married father of two and an architect living on Long Island and working in Manhattan.
For more than a decade, a string of unsolved killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders terrorized residents and confounded authorities on Long Island’s South Shore after a woman’s 2010 disappearance led investigators to find at least 10 sets of human remains and launched.
Long Island enforcement did not distinguish themselves here…..took 12 years to come up with a suspect.
