Accused Long Island serial killer Heuermann has been tied to the slayings of the women known as the “Gilgo Beach Four”– including through a DNA sample from his daughter’s discarded Monster energy drink obtained after investigators tailed her on an LIRR train, prosecutors said Tuesday. Heuermann, 60, was named in a new indictment unsealed in Suffolk County court charging him with murder in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, the last of the four former escorts whose remains were found along the South Shore in 2010 and whose killings remained unsolved for 13 years. Investigators linked Brainard-Banes’ murder to Heuermann via DNA from a female hair found on her body after samples were collected from the suspect’s wife, Asa Ellerup, and their 26-year-old daughter, Victoria. Both women were out of town when all four of the murders took place, including in Atlantic City when Brainard-Barnes was killed, the indictment notes.
