DeSantis on CNN: Too … normal?
Additional evidence linking Rex Heuermann to the Gilgo Beach murders were patterns and similarities in how the remains of all four women were recovered. According to New York District Attorney, Ray Tierney (via BBC News), “[E]ach of the four victims were found similarly positioned, bound in a similar fashion by either belts or tape, with three of the victims found wrapped in a burlap-type material.” The New York Times reported a belt recovered from one body was monogrammed in a manner linked with Heuermann.
A married father, Heuermann is a reputable New York architect and several burner cell phone calls were made either near his Manhattan office or near his Massapequa Park, Long Island home. As well as phone calls, Huermann used fictitious email accounts to solicit and search for “sex workers,” and “sadistic, torture-related pornography and child pornography,” as well as “images depicting the murdered victims and members of their immediate families,” according to his bail application (via CNN). He also reportedly searched the internet for media coverage of the crimes.

Referring to the Maureen Brainard-Barnes murder, for which Heuermann was a “prime suspect” when he was arrested, Tierney said he was confident that official charges related to Brainard-Barnes’ death were forthcoming (via CNN).
