Gilgo Beach Long Island Serial Killer Suspect Is NYC Architect Rex Heuermann: Sources
Detectives had been building evidence against Rex Heuermann, which was recently presented to a grand jury, which moved to indictthemessenger.com
How did it take them over a decade to trace the phone calls? It's not like these crimes happened in the 70s or 80s -- this was 2010-2011. Hopefully they provide some more insight at the press conference today because as of now I'm confused why they didn't trace the calls earlier.Heuermann, who is married and has two kids, has lived in the house since the 1980s.
Law enforcement sources tell DailyMail.com he has been on their radar since last year. Investigators matched him to the crimes by tracking the phone calls made from burner phones to the victims' cell phones over 10 years ago.
The source added that 'good, old fashioned police work' cracked the case, rather than any DNA developments.
The location of the phone calls matched Heuermann's home address and his office address. It remains unclear what specific piece of evidence led to his arrest last night. He is due to go before a judge in Long Island at noon.
*Oooh gross! just thinking about him near those poor girls.Serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann left wife's DNA on bodies
Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park was flooded with cops this morning. It sits directly north of Gilgo Beach, with only the South Oyster Bay separating them.www.dailymail.co.uk
a really unassuming, harmless looking guy. just how we thought he would look.
Will that be enough evidence to convict?Investigators matched him to the crimes by tracking the phone calls made from burner phones to the victims' cell phones over 10 years ago.

When I looked up the property records, it seems in 1994 the house was transferred from his parents, TH and DH. His paternal grandfather, according to census records, is WH…that belt looks old to me so my guess would be it’s his grandfather’s belt. I don't post here too often so I’m not sure what links are allowed but I got this from the Nassau county tax records the property cards archive link.HM or WH
Did they take it out? I see no mention of DNA in the article. Just that they found a belt that "may have been handled".
NBC says the PC is at 4 pm, but there's a hearing around noon? As usual, Suffolk County is not helpful.

From various articles, I assume the Noon reference is a court appearance by suspect.NBC says the PC is at 4 pm, but there's a hearing around noon? As usual, Suffolk County is not helpful.

I’m local and have longtime ties to one of the attorneys but I’m not in contact with him anymore so this case has always been on my radar.
