Accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann has now been tied to the slayings of the women known as the “Gilgo Four,” including through a DNA sample from his daughter’s Monster energy drink — which investigators dug out of the trash after trailing her on the LIRR, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Heuermann, 60, was named in a new indictment unsealed in Suffolk County court charging him with the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, the last of the four former escorts whose remains were found along Gilgo Beach in 2010 and whose killings remained unsolved for 13 years.
Investigators linked Brainard-Banes’ murder to Heuermann via DNA from a female hair found on her body after samples were collected from the suspect’s wife, Asa Ellerup, and the couple’s 26-year-old daughter, Victoria, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.
