Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann 1st Court Appearance ... Faces Judge On 6 Murder Charges

Suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann is making his first appearance in a New York court … this after he was accused of killing 3 sex workers and is the prime suspect in a fourth slaying.
The hulking Heuermann was in handcuffs as he was led by uniformed officers Tuesday into the Suffolk County courtroom to face a judge on 6 murder charges, three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree murder, which could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
Heuermann remained mostly stone-faced as he entered the courtroom.
As we reported, Heuermann was arrested in July and indicted on charges he murdered three prostitutes -- Melissa Barthelemy in 2009 and Megan Waterman and Amber Lynn Costello in 2010. He was also linked to the 2007 killing of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barne, but he hasn't been charged yet in that case.
Prosecutors say Heuermann stuffed their bodies into burlap sacks and dumped them near Gilgo Beach on Long Island.
For over a decade, the murders went unsolved, but then investigators caught a break in 2022 when they followed up on a lead from years ago, tying Heuermann to a pickup truck allegedly involved in the Costello homicide.
Investigators put Heuermann and his family under surveillance at their Massapequa Park home, rounding up discarded trash for DNA testing. Detectives got a match for Heuermann off a DNA sample found on a pizza crust in a Manhattan trash can. Testing also revealed Heuermann's hair follicle was discovered inside a burlap sack containing one of the victims.
Cell phone records and witness descriptions were also used to tie Heuermann to the crimes. Police believe Heuermann could be responsible for up to 11 murders, but he has denied any wrongdoing. The former NYC architect is married with 2 kids, although his wife recently filed for divorce.

Lisa Marie Presley's house has sold in record time -- with a new buyer now in escrow just a couple days after it hit the market.
Celeb realtors Robb and Nikki Friedman announced Lisa's Calabasas home -- where she lived for a little bit before passing away earlier this year -- is currently in escrow ... pretty wild considering they listed the place Friday.
As far as what it sold for ... the Friedmans say they got top dollar for the place, remember -- it was listed at $4,679,000.
Like we said ... Lisa was renting the place since 2020, and had intentions of buying it herself before she died. In the wake of her death, the Friedmans did some renovations -- and it seems like their work and investment paid off.
It's a nice pad ... with 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and all the bells and whistles of luxury. There's a home theater inside, a wine cellar, a pool and lovely mountainside views.

It's becoming more clear why Angus Cloud's family says he was struggling so much with the loss of his dad ... because his father's life was cut short after a very quick battle with cancer.
65-year-old Conor Hickey, Angus' dad, passed away on May 18 -- a social media post reshared by the "Euphoria" star's mom, Lisa, said he died "after a brief fight with cancer."
Lisa shared her own thoughts in June after his memorial service -- saying, "His cancer moved quickly which was devastating to all who loved him, but there is comfort in the fact that his pain wasn't prolonged."
TMZ broke the story, Angus died at his family home Monday, with Oakland PD and Fire Dept. responding to a 911 call from Lisa about a "possible overdose," claiming her son didn't have a pulse.
Angus' family told us he's been struggling with the loss of Conor, whom they say was his "best friend," adding Conor was buried just 1 week before. Angus posted about his dad a couple of weeks ago, letting him know he's missed.
A source close to the family told us Angus had been struggling with severe suicidal thoughts after getting back from the burial in Ireland ... and he was staying with his family to try and work through the grief.
Angus' cause of death has yet to be determined.
We covered the story on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Logan Paul I Feared Jake Would Kill Himself ... Over Internet Hate
Logan Paul says he was terrified his brother, Jake, would end his life over the incessant hate he got on the internet early in his career ... admitting he and his father were "both legitimately concerned" he was going to die by suicide.
The older Paul bro detailed his fear in the new Netflix doc, "Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child" ... where he explained the backlash Jake faced after a multitude of controversies had him at an all-time low.
"I mean, both my dad and I felt worried for my brother's life," Logan said. "Jake's always been pretty emotionally unpredictable, and volatile."
"There was a point where we were both legitimately concerned that Jake was going to kill himself."
Jake was low-hanging fruit for internet trolls during the start of his YouTube fame ... getting backlash for wild pranks and outrageous stunts that led to pissed off neighbors and losing his role on Disney's "Bizaardvark," as well as lucrative endorsement deals.
"It was easy to rip me apart," Jake said. "It became a thing to hate Jake Paul."
"It's not easy to be hated by the whole entire world and it creates a very dark mental place."
But Jake found a new purpose through boxing ... which has led to increased popularity and respect from legends in the sport like Mike Tyson.
Jake has since racked up wins over former UFC stars like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva ... and will enter the ring against Nate Diaz this weekend, where he looks to bounce back from the first loss of his career.

GILGO BEACH MURDERS SUSPECT'S WIFE SAYS KIDS CRY THEMSELVES TO SLEEP
The wife and children of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann are reeling in the wake of his arrest ... with all the crippling anxiety and sleeping difficulties you'd expect for a family suddenly thrust into a nightmare.
The suspected killer's wife, Asa Ellerup, says the couple's son and daughter are crying themselves to sleep.
Heuermann's wife revealed the toll the grisly allegations are taking on her family in an interview with the NY Post, telling the publication she often wakes up shivering from anxiety in the middle of the night.
As we reported ... Heuermann's family recently returned to the Long Island home where cops believe he gruesomely murdered his victims.
The couple's 33-year-old son, Christopher, got super emotional as he sat down on the front porch last week.
Now, Asa says the home is a complete mess as a result of a 12-day search by police ... and the couple's daughter, Victoria, feels like the family is being treated like animals.
Living and sleeping in that home under the gruesome circumstances seems like an impossibly traumatic situation -- but Heuermann's wife says they have nowhere else to go.
Among the alleged damage left by police ... cat litter boxes strewn about, a couch in shambles, a broken guitar, and some damaged collectibles.
Heuermann has been charged with 3 murders ... and investigators are digging into a theory he might have killed the victims in the home while his wife and kids were out of town.
He's pleaded not guilty and is due back in court Tuesday. His family has reportedly refused to visit him in jail.

Super Bowl Champ Bruce Collie Daughter Dies In Plane Crash ... Tragic Airshow Accident
The daughter of two-time Super Bowl champion Bruce Collie, Devyn Reiley, was tragically killed during an airshow this weekend ... when the plane she was flying crashed into Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin.
According to authorities, Reiley's World War II-era T-6 Texan plummeted into the body of water at around 9 AM on Sunday ... while it was participating in the AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 event.
It's unclear what caused the accident ... though one witness told NBC 26 the aircraft began "spinning" before it splashed down in the lake.
"I thought they were doing a trick at first," the witness added.
One other passenger on the plane, a 20-year-old man, was also killed, authorities said.
The NTSB is investigating the matter.
Collie -- who won Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV with Joe Montana in the 1980s -- appeared to address the tragedy on his Facebook page on Sunday evening, writing, "I trust You my King…. ALL THINGS to work together for good…" He posted two photos of Reiley inside a cockpit as well.
Just days prior to the crash, Collie had glowed about Reiley's passion for flying ... saying in a social media post that he was "so proud" of her.
"God is so cool to give her a family that is ALL aviation…" Collie wrote. "thank you Reiley’s for being the family that she was destined for…"
Collie was picked by the 49ers in the 1985 NFL Draft -- just a couple rounds after the team selected Jerry Rice. He played for San Francisco for five seasons, starting 34 games ... before he finished his career in Philadelphia. In retirement, he had been involved in planes and other business ventures.

'TEEN MOM 2' NATHAN GRIFFITH Sister's 911 Call After Alleged Strangulation ... 'He Tried to Kill Me'

Exclusive
- 344 shares
"Teen Mom 2" star Nathan Griffith's sister was begging for a police response after he allegedly roughed her up ... telling dispatchers he tried killing her with his bare hands.
TMZ obtained audio of the 911 call Griffith's sister placed on July 12 in Las Vegas ... and in her chat with the dispatcher, the woman says Nathan tried to strangle her before fleeing in his car.
As we first reported ... the police report says the responding officers observed visible red marks on the sister's neck and eyelids -- indicative of someone who was strangled -- and she told them Nathan grabbed her by the throat, pushed her down onto the floor and got on top of her.
Despite telling the dispatcher her brother had left, police say Nathan was still outside the home when they arrived ... yelling and denying he ever touched his sister. Ultimately, he was arrested for battery by strangulation.
We also obtained another 911 call Griffith's sister made earlier -- prior to the alleged strangulation -- and she told the dispatcher, Nathan is following her around in the home and making threats. It sounds like you can hear him in the background.
The 911 calls are alarming ... and cops also said Nathan made suicidal statements on his way to the Clark County Jail.
Nathan's got a kid with "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans ... and he's had previous arrests for domestic violence and domestic battery by strangulation.
We covered Nathan's arrest on a previous episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Jeremy Allen White Cooking Up Some Co-Parenting ... Family QT Amid Divorce
Jeremy Allen White might be getting divorced, but he's still on great terms with his estranged wife -- as seen in these pics ... which show them playing nice with their cubs.
The 'Bear' star hit up a park in L.A. Saturday, where he reunited with Addison Timlin and their 2 young daughters, Ezer and Dolores. We're hearing there was some kind of soccer practice going down ... and that Jeremy showed up for what seems to be a little daddy time.
As you can see, he was playing with their kids ... and the 4 of them actually walked to the parking lot together. More importantly, though -- JAW embraced Addison ... quite lovingly.
The exes were seen hugging it out a few different times, and it looks like Jeremy even planted a kiss on Addison's head at one point as they were departing. On its face, it looked like they were all kumbaya -- and yes, this is a very clear example of solid co-parenting.
We know that, for now, they're going their separate ways ... but it's just evidence that not every Hollywood divorce has to be ugly. They oftentimes are (see Costner), but it looks like Jeremy and Addison got this thing figured out, at least when it comes to their little ones.
Jeremy and Addison married in 2019, but were together for a while before that. Of course, Jeremy's star is on the rise because of his hit show ... but it's still all love for the fam.
That's how you do it, cousin.

Mark Zuckerberg Takes Daughters to Taylor Swift Tour ... Girl Dadding 101
Another unlikely drop-in for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour -- this time it's Mark Zuckerberg who paid a visit to her big show, and it looks like he's on dad duty in the process ... x3.
The Facebook founder hit up Taylor's concert Friday in Santa Clara at Levi's Stadium -- where he, his wife and his three daughters (plus a pal, it seems) had their own private box overlooking the stage below. Indeed, they're fantastic seats ... and he can afford it.
Anyway, as excited as the kids surely were ... it seems Mark himself was stoked too, evidenced in the fact that he kinda bedazzled himself for the occasion, literally.
Take a look ... the guy had sparkles and rhinestone-like jewelry plastered on his face, and yes -- he was also rocking one of those multi-bead friendship bracelets that Swifties wear.
It seems Mark was having a little meme-ish fun as well. He posted a filtered shot of himself decked out in the T-Swift-inspired gear and checking his phone -- with the caption, "Checking 13 emails on the way to the concert." Yeah, he was in the spirit of things.
MZ's far from the only celeb who's crashed a Taylor show over these past few months -- several others (who you normally wouldn't consider Swifites) have done it time and again.

Nascar Champion Jimmie Johnson First Remarks On Triple Murder-Suicide ... Devastated By Family Tragedy
Jimmie Johnson is speaking publicly for the first time about the apparent murder-suicide that claimed the lives of three family members.
The NASCAR driver posted a statement on Instagram Friday, saying he's devastated by the loss of his 11-year-old nephew Dalton and his wife Chandra's parents, Jack and Terry Lynn Janway. Jimmie also thanked well-wishers for their outpouring of love and support during his time of grief.
What's interesting is that Jimmie made a point of mentioning Terry in his heartfelt message, showing compassion for his in-law despite police naming her as the suspect in the fatal shootings of Dalton and Jack before turning the gun on herself.
As we reported ... police responded to the family's Oklahoma home in June after receiving a 911 call from a woman who said she saw someone with a gun.
Cops found one person sprawled out dead in the hallway near the front door moments before a gunshot was heard elsewhere inside the house, where two more bodies were later discovered.
Johnson -- a 7-time NASCAR Cup champion -- tied the knot with Chandra in 2004 and they have two daughters together, Genevieve and Lydia.

The actress died Sunday night in Los Angeles as a result of natural causes ... her son, Mark, tells TMZ.
Inga's son says her husband, Lowell Harris, was with her when she died at a board and care facility. We're told Inga's heath had been in decline for the past 6 months, so her death did not come as a shock to the family.
Inga famously played German cook Gretchen Kraus on "Benson" ... appearing in over 150 episodes over seven years and earning three Emmy nominations for her work.
"Benson" was a spin-off of another TV sitcom, "Soap," where Inga had a multi-episode role as Ingrid Svenson.

Inga acted in two movies in 1962 ... with a pair of supporting roles in "Advise and Consent" and "The Miracle Worker," where she plays Helen Keller's mother.
She married Lowell, a sound engineer, in February 1953, and the couple had two children, one of whom already passed away ... and in 1998 she retired from Hollywood.
We're told she wanted to be cremated and have her ashes buried with her late son in San Rafael, CA.
Inga was 90.
RIP
