Heuermann is expected in court Thursday, according to a spokesperson with the Suffolk County district attorney’s office. “There were a number of necessary investigative steps that were taken,” Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said Monday at a news conference on another matter. “Thursday, you will see the fruits of that investigation.
The expected new murder charge would come after investigators searched an area of Long Island where the remains of two people were found more than two decades ago and only days after they searched Heuermann’s home in New York’s Massapequa Park again. A search warrant was executed at Heuermann’s home in May, CNN confirmed at the time with his estranged wife’s attorney, Robert Macedonia.
