Disturbing evidence found at Heuermann’s Jones Beach job, report says

Detectives probing the Gilgo Beach murders visited Jones Beach after workers there uncovered bloody gloves and other evidence near Rex Heuermann’s former job as a teenager, the New York Post reported Saturday.

The evidence was found less than two months after the summer 2023 arrest of Heuermann, a Massapequa Park dad who was an architect in Manhattan, in connection with the deaths of four women whose remains were found three miles away at Gilgo Beach, the report states.

A cleanup crew at Jones Beach reportedly found weathered purses and women’s and girls’ clothing — including rayon miniskirts, pants, and torn shirts — buried about two feet deep near the East Bathhouse, which has been closed since 2009.

Additionally, a bloodied work glove and a hidden leather strap inside a nearby shack were recovered, according to the report.

Heuermann, 61, has been charged with the murders of seven women, whose remains were found near Gilgo Beach between 1993 and 2010. He worked at Jones beach during the summers of 1981 through 1984, when he was in his late teens, the state parks department confirmed in February.

News of the Jones Beach discovery coincides with key recent legal developments in the case.

A Suffolk judge ruled that advanced DNA evidence, including whole genome sequencing, will be admissible in Heuermann’s upcoming trial. It’s a decision that allows prosecutors to use cutting-edge forensic technology to link Heuermann to the murders.

Authorities continue to investigate the possibility that Heuermann may be connected to additional unsolved cases.
