''Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann was bizarrely close to his “controlling” mother while he was an adolescent, according to sources.
Heuermann, 59, was a “momma’s boy” and would tell friends “things like, ‘I have to get home to my mother,’ ” said a
former classmate who attended Berner High School in Massapequa with the suspect.
“I always got the impression he was close . . . to his mother. The mother seemed to be his all,” the former classmate said of Dolores Heuermann, now 93.
The extremely close ties between the pair may have influenced Heuermann’s decision to
buy his childhood home in Massapequa Park from his mom for $170,000 in 1994 — shortly after his first marriage, to Elizabeth Ryan in 1990, failed.

''His father, Theodore Heuermann, who served in World War II and in the Air Force as a second lieutenant, died in 1975 at the age of 50.
The younger Heuermann, who founded his own architecture firm, RH Consultants & Associates in 1994, curiously never spoke about his late father around his friends, the classmate recalled.''
''Later in life,
however, he boasted that his dad had worked as an “aerospace engineer who built satellites” — but also built cabinets and taught his son how to construct furniture.''
