New Details Emerge in Gilgo Beach Murders: Unidentified Victim's Image Revealed

Law enforcement officials will release new information about an unidentified victim in the Gilgo Beach murders. The victim, found in 2011, is believed to be a young Asian male. New renderings of the victim aim to generate fresh leads. A local architect has been charged in connection with related killings.

Law enforcement officials are set to release new information Monday about one of the victims in the Gilgo Beach murders. This string of deaths, discovered along a New York coastal highway a decade ago, has puzzled investigators for years.

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney announced that the task force will share updates, including new renderings of a male victim of Asian descent, whose remains were found in 2011. The man, likely in his late teens to early 20s, was dressed in women's clothing and may have been a sex worker.

The victim's disappearance timeline and unique circumstances are expected to generate fresh leads. DNA records from Asian individuals are less common in U.S. genetic databases, complicating identification efforts. A local architect, Rex Heuermann, has been charged in related killings but has pleaded not guilty.
