Summary

Gilgo: New search warrant for Rex Heuermann's home, probable cause? #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #SearchWarrant Buy Bill a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/policeoffty Police served a search warrant Monday at the home of Rex Heuermann, the suspect in the deaths of four women whose bodies were found along Gilgo Beach, NewsNation has confirmed. No family members were present and Heuermann’s estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, confirmed that the home had been searched. It isn’t clear what prompted police to search the home or what specific information they were seeking. The medical examiner arrived at the home later in the morning and NewsNation’s Laura Ingle saw very large evidence bags being carried out of the home. Last month, authorities conducted a multiday search of the woods in Manorville, New York, though it’s not clear if this second search is connected. (News Nation)
