Gilgo Beach Murders: Las Vegas Cops Investigating 5 Murders Possibly Linked to Serial Killer Suspect Rex Heuermann, Officials Say

A Las Vegas woman disappeared 20 years ago and now her mother thinks she could have been a victim of Long Island serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann, according to authorities.

As Front Page Detectives previously reported, Heuermann has a connection to Las Vegas that law enforcement has been investigating.

Heuermann owned a timeshare in Vegas and police were checking to see if any unsolved cases could be linked to the man accused in three of the four Gilgo Beach murders, four women whose bodies were found on a highway running through the beach in 2010. He is also the prime suspect in the fourth murder.

Officials in Las Vegas haven’t said if any disappearances or murders in Nevada possibly are connected with Heuermann, but KTNV reported on five sex workers who died under similar circumstances.

According to News 12, a law enforcement source in Las Vegas said he had no doubt that “one person is to blame for at least several of those cases” but didn’t indicate whether investigators think it could have been Heuermann.

Jodi Marie Brewer, 19, disappeared on August 14, 2003, and her torso was found wrapped in cloth and plastic two weeks later in the desert. Brewer had turned to sex work, like the so-called Gilgo 4.

Pam Brewer, Jodi’s mother, told News 12, “It seems to me like the area that he (Heuermann) bought the condos in was prostitution areas and that it would have been really easy for him.”

She added, “Hearing the whole Rex thing, it’s totally different now because it gives us a little hope.”

According to KTNV, the other homicide victims — Jessie Foster, Victoria Camara and Lindsey Marie Harris — disappeared between 2003 and 2006. A fifth, unnamed victim is also being looked at — a woman who was murdered and dismembered in 2003.

Heuermann has owned two timeshares in Las Vegas, KTNV reported. One he owned from 2004 until he sold it in 2013 and the second, which he still owns with his wife, was purchased in 2005.

Processing the DNA recovered in the cases to check for possible links to Heuermann could take months because of the age of the forensic evidence, News 12 reported.
