District attorney says there is a significant development in the investigation of Rex Heuermann in the murders of ‘Gilgo Four’

Accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann will be back in court on Tuesday to face what prosecutors have plugged as a “major development” in the investigation of the Gilgo Beach killings of four young women, all sex workers, that lay unresolved for more than a decade.

The Suffolk county district attorney, Ray Tierney, said that representatives of the Gilgo Beach homicide investigation taskforce would hold a press conference on Tuesday “to update and announce a significant development in the investigation of the murders”.
