The three women that Rex Heuermann is accused of killing — Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Lynn Costello — were discovered wrapped in burlap near Gilgo Beach on Long Island’s South Shore in December 2010.
A fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, was found in the same spot, alongside the other victims, and Mr. Heuermann is also the prime suspect her death, according to the bail application from the Suffolk County District attorney’s office on Friday.
The investigation into her death “is continuing and is expected to be resolved soon,” the prosecutors wrote.
Mr. Heuermann, an architect who has lived most of his life in Nassau County and worked in Manhattan, on Friday pleaded not guilty to murder in the case of the first three victims and was ordered held without bail.
