Gilgo Beach serial killings: A complete timeline of events

More than a decade after 10 bodies were found during a search for a missing woman on Long Island, Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann was arrested.

In 2010, the search for Shannan Gilbert, a 24-year-old aspiring actress from New Jersey, led authorities to the remains of 10 other people along Long Island's Gilgo Beach.

Almost 13 years later, police arrested architect Rex Heuermann, 59, in three of the deaths: Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello.

He pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in court Friday. His defense attorney said a tearful Heuermann declared, "I didn't do this."

The charges are the latest development in a case that has confounded detectives for over a decade.

Shannan Gilbert vanished on Long Island’s South Shore on May 1, 2010.
