Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann in court as his family seen outside home

Long Island architect Rex Heuermann has appeared in court for the first time since July 14, when he pleaded not guilty to the murders of Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman and Melissa Barthelemy

The suspect charged in one of America’s most mysterious cold cases has appeared in court today for the first time since he pleaded not guilty to the murders of three women as prosecutors handed over eight terabytes of evidence.

Long Island architect Rex Heuermann, 59, has been charged with the murders of three of the women who became known as the ‘Gilgo Four’ after their bodies were discovered along a stretch of Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in Long Island in 2010.

He appeared in court today, August 1, for a brief hearing, in which Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said investigators met with the defence counsel to go over the schedule of handing over discovery in the case. Mr Tierney said this is a “thirteen-year case so as you saw we have a great deal of information, evidence photographs, reports, to provide to the defence counsel. We have begun that process.”

Prosecutors said they’ve given Heuermann’s lawyer at least 8 terabytes of material – equivalent to around 2,500 pages of records, along with about 100 hours of surveillance video recorded outside Heuermann’s home and office prior to his arrest on July 13. Mr Tierney said it’s just a fraction of the evidence amassed since the bodies were found in 2010.
