A suspect has been taken into custody on New York’s Long Island in connection with a long-unsolved string of killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders, a law enforcement official told AP.

The suspect is Rex Heuermann, 59.

The Long Island serial killer murdered eleven women that we know about. The police think he killed twenty women. This has been a cold case for a decade, although there were suspects.

Police were at a home on Michigan Ave and 1st in Massapequa Park, Long Island.

In an interview posted to YouTube channel Bonjour Realty, Heuermann said he was “born and raised on Long Island.”

“I’ve been working in Manhattan since 1987, very long time,” he said.

News 12 did not identify the suspect or detail what led to the breakthrough in what it called “one of the most intense, prolific searches for a serial killer ever.”

Fears of a serial killer emerged when the body of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, was found along Ocean Parkway on Dec. 11, 2010 — with the remains of three other women found in the following days.

Six were found later and believed connected to the same killer. Most or all the women were prostitutes.
