Recent developments in the “Gilgo Beach Murders” case have caused authorities to reevaluate some of their previously held assumptions.

Last July, police arrested 60-year-old Rex Heuermann at his Massapequa Park, Long Island home and charged him with the murder of four women who had come to be known as “The Gilgo Four.”

They were 22-year-old Megan Waterman, 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 24-year-old Melissa Barthelemy, and 27-year-old Amber Lynn Costello. All four women worked as escorts, and all four disappeared after attending an appointment with a client.
