Law enforcement agencies on Long Island have intensified their search operations in Manorville as part of the investigation into the Gilgo Beach murders, involving the deaths of 11 women whose remains were found along a coastal parkway. This escalated search strategy, involving multiple police units and canine teams, focuses on connecting dots in a case that has captured national attention since the initial discoveries in 2010.

Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect, has been charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, and Amber Costello. Despite his not guilty plea and doubts expressed by his estranged wife regarding his involvement, Heuermann faces ongoing legal processes. The complexities of the case continue as investigators suggest the possibility of other suspects involved, given the timeline of the disappearances, which dates back to the mid-1990s.

Authorities, including the Suffolk County Police Department, New York Police Department, and New York State Police, remain actively engaged in the ongoing investigation, ready to explore all potentials related to the Gilgo Beach killings.
