Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann is expected to be charged with the murder of a fourth woman.
According to multiple sources, the alleged serial killer is expected to face charges next week for the death of another woman whose remains were found near Gilgo Beach.
Prosecutors claim that Brainard-Barnes was discovered wearing a belt with a unique buckle that bore the initials WH, which may have belonged to Heuermann’s father.
The alleged killer has been charged with three counts of murder in connection with the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Lynn Costello, 27.
Heuermann pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The former architect has been in custody since July 13th, 2023.
Court records state that when investigators started examining the case’s evidence in 2022, they were led to Heuermann as a potential suspect.
The suspect allegedly used several prepaid, anonymous burner phones to communicate with each victim, and the prosecutors said that FBI analysts were able to compare the cell site data of the victims’ cellphones with each other.
In addition, according to court records, a hair found on burlap wrapped around one of the victims was a DNA match to Heuermann, based on a sample taken from crusts in a pizza box he had discarded.
According to sources, prosecutors plan to reveal that a grand jury has indicted him for the fourth murder when he returns to court in Riverhead on Tuesday.

How does the discovery of another woman’s remains and the belt buckle with his father’s initials further implicate Heuermann in the crimes?
Ince his arrest, Heuermann has maintained his innocence and has insisted that he had no involvement in the murders. However, the evidence against him seems to be piling up, and prosecutors are confident that they have a strong case.
The discovery of another woman’s remains near Gilgo Beach has provided investigators with a breakthrough in the case. It is believed that the victim was wearing a belt with a unique buckle bearing the initials “WH.” This buckle may have belonged to Heuermann’s father, further linking him to the crime.
Heuermann has already been charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello. All three women were found dead in the same area, and their deaths showed similar patterns and characteristics. The fact that Heuermann had allegedly used prepaid, anonymous burner phones to communicate with each victim further supports the prosecution’s case.
Additionally, a hair found on burlap wrapped around one of the victims was a DNA match to Heuermann. This evidence, along with the cellphone data and the discovery of the belt buckle, provides prosecutors with a solid foundation for their case.
It is expected that the grand jury will officially indict Heuermann for the fourth murder during his next court appearance on Tuesday. While Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges, the mounting evidence against him may prove to be challenging for his defense.
The Gilgo Beach murder case has garnered significant attention and has become one of the most high-profile criminal investigations in recent years. The arrest of Heuermann brought hope to the victims’ families and the community that justice would finally be served.
As the trial progresses, it will be interesting to see how the defense attempts to refute the evidence against Heuermann. The prosecution seems to have a strong case, but it is crucial that a fair trial is conducted, and due process is followed.
Ultimately, the outcome of this case will hopefully provide closure for the victims’ families and bring justice to the lives lost. The alleged actions of Heuermann have had a devastating impact on the community, and a conviction will ensure that he is held accountable for his alleged crimes.
