The arrest of 59-year-old architect Rex Heuermann over the historic murders of three women in Gilgo Beach has led to widespread online sleuthing into the suspect's life, with police and prosecutors describing him as a "predator" who allegedly killed the women while his wife and children were out of state.
Heuermann is charged with killing Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Costello, 27. He is also considered the prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Among the claims and speculation that have followed his arrest, some have suggested that Heuermann had worked for former President Donald Trump several years ago.
A Reddit post, published on July 17, 2023, included a link to a news story claiming that Heuermann worked for Trump "in the past".
