A police dog located the remains of Melissa Barthelemy while searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert in December 2010. Officials then found the remains of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Megan Waterman and Amber Lynn Costello. The victims have been called the “Gilgo Four.”

Heuermann was charged with the murders of Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla in June of last year. Remains belonging to Taylor, 20, were found near Gilgo Beach and in Manorville.

Costilla, 28, is Heuermann’s earliest known victim. Her body was found in 1993 in North Sea.

Additional remains were found by officials near Gilgo Beach, some of which remain unidentified. Heuermann has not been charged in relation to those victims.

Rex Heuermann Belt

Brainard-Barnes was bound by a belt stamped with the initials “HM” or “WH.”

The belt was first announced as a potential clue in 2020. It was one of three used to tie Brainard-Barnes’ feet, ankles and legs together.

What People Are Saying

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told Newsday in 2023: “Yes, there was ‘WH’ or ‘HM’ on the belt. The last name is Heuermann. There are ancestors with WH, so assign to that what you will.”
