The 59-year-old architect, from New York, was taken into custody outside his Manhattan office last night and has been arrested in connection with the "Gilgo Beach four", who were all sex workers in their 20s. The bodies were discovered in burlap sacks along the beach in December 2010 after each victim had been strangled. In addition, another six women and a toddler were found in the following months - with police set to investigate whether the suspect has any connection to the murders. Heuerman's modest home, which sits directly north of Gilgo Beach, where the ten bodies of women and a toddler were found in 2010 and 2011, is being searched by cops. The suspect, who is married and has two children, has lived in the house since the 1980s and, according to investigators, has been on police's radar since last year. Cops matched him to the crimes by tracking the phone calls he made from burner phones to the victim's families phones over ten years ago. A source told the Daily Mail that "good, old fashioned police work" cracked the case rather than any DNA developments. Furthermore, the location of the phone calls also matched Heuerman's home address and his office address - but it remains unclear what type of evidence led to his arrest last night. John Ray, a lawyer representing the family of two of the victims, revealed they were given a warning a week ago that an arrest was likely. He told the Daily Mail that Heuerman's name was one of those they were looking into. He said: "We had a tip about a week ago that they were about to do this. We have two names but we obviously don't want to say unless we're 100% sure." The lawyer believes the discovery of a man's remains){kind=link}
