Rex Heuermann is a New York architect who was arrested in July 2023 in connection with the Gilgo Beach serial killings. Heuermann was charged with the murders of three women—Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello—whose bodies were found in 2010 along Ocean Parkway on Long Island's South Shore. He is also a suspect in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. The case, often referred to as the "Gilgo Beach murders" or the "Long Island Serial Killer" case, involves a series of unsolved murders where the remains of 10 to 16 people were discovered over a period of time in the same area.

The arrest marked a significant breakthrough in a case that had long baffled investigators and garnered substantial media attention.
