Police conduct another search on Gilgo suspect Rex Heuermann’s home
NY Post
Cops on Monday launched a massive new search at the Long Island home of suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann — as they try to determine if he killed inside his family’s house.
Police choppers began circling over the married Manhattan architect’s middle-class home in Massapequa Park shortly after 8 a.m., neighbors said, with the entire block soon jammed with state troopers and Suffolk County cops.
A mobile command center and Crime Scene investigation trucks lined the street, while white tents were erected in the front and back yards with large white boxes hauled inside for inspection.
Despite a trove of circumstantial evidence, investigators have yet to pin down where Heuermann’s alleged victims were killed before their bodes were dumped on desolate local beaches — prompting Monday’s second search of the home, law-enforcement sources said.
“Two hours ago I came back from a job, and there are five helicopters circling over my daughter’s school, and you can guess the first thing that came into my mind. Oh my God!” said Ricky Tavella, 54, a longtime neighbor and electrician, to The Post.
“I saw all the cop cars. I just ran into the school and asked the lady at the counter what was going on, and she explained. She said, ‘No, everything’s OK. They’re just doing another search of Rex Heuermann’s house. I almost fell down,” Tavella said.
