"Aggressive and Unsettling”: Former Co-Workers Reveal Alarming Behavior of Suspected Gilgo Beach Killer Rex Heuermann

Former colleagues of Rex Heuermann, the architect charged with
multiple murders in the Gilgo Beach case, have come forward with
disturbing accounts of his behavior, describing him as
“aggressive” and unsettling, intensifying the dark cloud
surrounding the high-profile case.
 
 Jeffrey St. Arromand, a luxury real estate salesman who
worked with Heuermann, detailed his daunting experiences to
Andrea Canning on a “Dateline” episode. “He was very assertive,
maybe even leaning to the point of being aggressive,” St.
Arromand expressed, highlighting a deeply concerning aspect of
Heuermann’s demeanor. His revelations shed light on the suspect's
character, contrasting starkly with his professional persona as a
knowledgeable architect.
 
 The discomfort among Heuermann's colleagues was palpable,
with one individual reportedly avoiding the office to escape his
presence. “She just didn’t feel comfortable with him at all,” St.
Arromand recalled, echoing a sentiment of fear that has become a
recurring theme in discussions about Heuermann.
 
 Despite his aggressive nature at work, Heuermann’s personal
life presented a contradiction. Known for his encyclopedic
knowledge of New York City’s building codes, he lived in a
dilapidated house in Massapequa Park, only a short distance from
where the bodies of his alleged victims were discovered.
 
 Heuermann, 59, has pleaded not guilty to the murders of
Melissa Barthlemey, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello.
Additionally, he is the prime suspect in the killing of Maureen
Brainard-Barnes, with police continuing to investigate his
potential involvement in other crimes.
 
 Former co-worker Mary Shell’s statement to “Dateline”
resonated with a sense of fear and anger, particularly among
women. “The idea that, as a woman, you have to be suspicious and
be afraid all the time just to stay alive is enraging,” she said,
reflecting a broader societal concern about women's safety.
 
 The chilling revelations about Heuermann come as the
“Dateline” special “The Hunt for the Gilgo Beach Killer” aired
Friday night on Dateline, coinciding with the unexpected
resignation of Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney
Harrison. His departure from the department, only a few months
into the renewed investigation adds another layer of complexity
to the already convoluted case.
 
 As the community grapples with these revelations, the case
against Heuermann continues to develop, casting a somber light on
the realities of criminal behavior and its impact on society. The
“Dateline” special promises to delve deeper into the enigmatic
and disturbing narrative of the Gilgo Beach killings, a case that
has captivated and horrified the nation.
