Shortly after he was identified as the murder suspect, William “Billy” Baldwin took to Twitter to reveal that he had met Rex Heuermann in the past. “Woke up this morning to learn that the Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect was my high school classmate Rex Heuermann,” he wrote in the tweet. Billy, who graduated from Berner High School in Massapequa, New York in 1981, expressed his shock over the discovery, which he described as “mind-boggling.” However, Billy isn’t the only Baldwin to have connections to Heuermann. According to The New York Post, all of the other Baldwin brothers, including “The Pandora Project” actor Daniel Baldwin and “Bio-Dome” star Stephen Baldwin, attended Alfred G. Berner High School. In fact, Alec Baldwin, who graduated from the school in 1976, was reportedly elected class president in his senior year, per Newsday.

Heuermann’s recent identification comes more than 10 years after the bodies of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes — the four women he is suspected of killing — were found around Gilgo Beach, Long Island. According to NBC News, Heuermann, a licensed architect married with two kids, has been arraigned in court. Though he pled not guilty, he is reportedly being held without bail.
