New York Architect Arrested In Three Murders

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A Long Island architect has been arrested in connection with three of the long-unsolved killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders. Fifty-nine-year-old Rex Heuermann pleaded not guilty to three murder charges on Friday. He’s lived since childhood across a bay from where the remains of 11 people were found a decade ago. As crime lab investigators searched his home in Massapequa, Heuermann was denied bail in state court in Riverhead. His lawyer entered a not guilty plea, saying Heuermann told him, “I didn’t do this.” Authorities say they matched his DNA from a discarded pizza crust to genetic material found on the women’s remains.
