‘Flood’ of tips, evidence coming in about Rex Heuermann: DA

A “flood” of tips has poured in about accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann, authorities said Monday — as possible evidence, including more apparent weapons, a video camera and stash of tapes, continued to be hauled from the suspect’s home.

“The one thing about an arrest, obviously, [is] it brings a lot of attention,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told “CNN This Morning.”

“The other thing is, we have executed a number of search warrants,” he said, as officers also scoured a local self-storage unit looking for possible body parts or other “trophies” kept by the suspect.

“So right now we have a flood of information and a flood of evidence coming in,” Tierney said.

“And it’s going to take us a while to … go through all of that.”

Investigators continued to cart items out of the Massapequa Park home where Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect, lived with his wife and two kids, on Monday, a little over four days after he was nabbed near his Fifth Avenue office.

The confiscated items included a box for a Sharp video camera, as well as what appeared to be bags full of videotapes to go with it.

Officers also appeared to carry off secure cases for high-capacity rifles.

Authorities revealed Monday that Heuermann — charged in three women’s murders and considered the prime suspect in a fourth — had an “arsenal” of more than 200 guns in a vault at the home, or more than twice originally thought.

Elsewhere, investigators also worked behind a screen while searching an Omega Self Storage unit in Amityville — where Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said they were looking for body parts or “trophies.”

It all adds to the “unbelievable amount of material” that was already collected in the case before Heuermann even emerged as a suspect last year, Tierney said.

“You’re talking about something that is 13 years in the making,” he told CNN.

“And then you also have over 300, search warrants and judicial requests. So there is a tremendous amount of information,” he said, saying it made it impossible to estimate a likely timetable for the case to go to trial.

Heuermann has been charged with murdering Amber Costello, 27, Melissa Barthelemy, 24, and Megan Waterman, 22, whose bodies were found in a marshy area of Gilgo Beach in 2010 — among 11 bodies eventually discovered in the area about 15 minutes from the suspect’s home. Heuermann pleaded not guilty Friday.

Tierney stressed Monday that “the investigation is continuing” into Heuermann over the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, whose body was among those recovered at the beach.

“We feel confident that we’re going to be able to eventually charge that fourth murder,” said Tierney, repeating his earlier statement that an early arrest was needed out of “concern for both the integrity of our investigation as well as the safety of the community.”

As well as physical evidence, numerous women have since come forward about alarming run-ins with the suspected serial killer.

Heuermann’s neighbors on 1st Avenue have been also reacting in horror that his oddball behavior was a sign of something sinister.

Former neighbor Carol Bergen told Fox News Digital that Heuermann once asked her brother if he cried at their father’s funeral.

Michael Musto, a neighbor who regularly took the train into Manhattan with Heuermann, called it “disgusting” and “unconscionable” that the suspect could be “involved in something heinous like this.

“You never know who’s your next-door neighbor,” Musto told Fox. “It’s like Jeffrey Dahmer.”
