Rex Heuermann - latest: Gilgo Beach murder suspect to appear in court as wife asks for privacy
Gilgo Beach suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann will appear in court on Tuesday for the first time since he pleaded not guilty in the bombshell case two weeks ago. Mr Heuermann will face a hearing at Suffolk County Court in Long Island, New York, according to court filings. It comes days after authorities revealed that a “massive amount” of evidence had been recovered from Mr Heuermann’s home in Massapequa – and after his estranged wife Asa Ellerup pleaded for privacy, saying the couple’s children “cry themselves to sleep” over the shock arrest and that she herself often wakes up “shivering” from the trauma. The 59-year-old suspect was arrested on 13 July and charged with six counts of murder in the deaths of Amber Castello, Megan Waterman and Melissa Barthelemy. He is also the main suspect in Maureen Brainard-Barnes’ killing. The women, all sex workers in their 20s, went missing in 2009 and 2010. Their remains were later found along a stretch of roadway in the Long Island shoreline community of Gilgo Beach. Mr Heuermann pleaded not guilty in his first court appearance on 14 July, where he cried: “I didn’t do this.” Read More Rex Heuermann’s wife pleads to be left alone after his arrest for Gilgo Beach murders Police rule out link between Gilgo beach killings suspect and unsolved murders in Atlantic City in 2006 How the Gilgo Beach serial killer turned the Long Island shore into a graveyard
