Alleged serial killer meets with prison ‘clergyman’ once a week behind bars

Alleged Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann is in a special unit at the Suffolk County Jail in Riverhead, Long Island, under careful watch where has not shown “any emotion” according to the sheriff

The man accused of carrying out the infamous Gilgo Beach murders has reportedly been seeing a clergyman once a week in jail as he continues to seem “emotionless” after being taken off suicide watch.

59-year-old Rex Heuermann has been charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, from New York, Megan Waterman, 22, from Maine, and Amber Lynn Costello, 27, from North Carolina – he has entered a not guilty plea to all charges. He is also the prime suspect in the murder of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes, from Connecticut.

The four women became known as the Gilgo Four after their remains were uncovered in December 2010 along a stretch of Ocean Highway, near Gilgo Beach in Long Island, during the search for 23-year-old Shannan Gilbert. All four women were sex workers from out of the area who were found within a tenth of a mile apart in the brush alongside the highway wrapped in burlap. Medical examiners found all four had been strangled.
