A young woman from Long Island, aged 25, recently shared a disturbing experience involving Rex Heuermann, the primary suspect in the Gilgo Beach serial killings case.
Identified only as Ally by the New York Post, the woman revealed that she was approached by Mr. Heuermann at Brady Park earlier this month.
Ally described feeling shaken by the 59-year-old architect’s strange behavior, prompting her to report the encounters to the police.
According to her account, Heuermann approached her multiple times, asking personal questions and displaying an unsettling ability to appear unexpectedly from the surrounding woods.
Feeling unsettled by the encounters, Ally contacted her sister for a ride home and subsequently filed a report with the local authorities.
Approximately two weeks later, she was shocked to learn of Heuermann’s arrest in connection with the infamous Gilgo Beach murders.
Ally was not the only individual who experienced fear due to the actions of this New York City architect.
“We would cross the street,” Nicholas Ferchaw, a 24-year-old neighbor of Heuermann’s told The New York Times. “He was somebody you don’t want to approach.”
Members of the Massapequa, New York community, where Heuermann resided, were filled with astonishment when the police arrested him for multiple murders, over a decade after the discovery of a series of deceased women along Gilgo Beach.
“I wasn’t surprised at all,” Mr. Ferchaw claimed, “because of all the creepiness.”
The community has been deeply shaken by the case, which revolves around the unresolved murders of multiple women. Heuermann, identified as a New York City architect and father of two, entered a plea of not guilty to charges, including first-degree homicide, according to the report from the Post.
Law enforcement authorities connected Heuermann’s arrest to the victims referred to as the “Gilgo Four.” The crucial evidence leading to his apprehension was the discovery of DNA on a discarded pizza crust.
