A law enforcement task force will continue to work “full time” to gather evidence after a suspect has been charged in some of the Gilgo Beach killings

“I don’t think any of us know what exactly is going to turn up, but we’re going to continue the investigation,” Suffolk County Deputy Police Commissioner Anthony Carter told CNN on Sunday. Rex Heuermann, 59, was arrested Thursday and charged with the murder of three of the “Gilgo Four,” a group of four women whose remains were unearthed near the island’s Gilgo Beach in 2010. He has pleaded not guilty to the killings of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello.

Heuermann matched the witness’s description, lived close to the Long Island cell site and worked near the New York City cell sites where other calls were captured, authorities said. A key break in the case came when investigators were able to match DNA from a piece of male hair found on the burlap used to wrap Waterman’s body to a DNA sample taken from a pizza crust Heuermann had discarded in a Manhattan trash can in January.
