Rex Heuermanns family was apparently stunned by the Massapequa Park, Long Island residents alleged role in the so-called Gilgo Beach murders. Heuermann, 59, was charged Friday with killing at least three people found buried near Gilgo Beach in 2010.

When we initially informed them about their husband, their father, they were shocked, Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison told CBS New York in an interview that aired Monday . They were disgusted. They were embarrassed.

Harrison continued, If you ask me, I dont believe they knew about this double life that Mr. Heuermann was living.

Heuermann, an architect who worked in Manhattan , is accused of murdering Megan Waterman, 22, Melissa Barthelemy, 24, and Amber Costello, 27. He is also suspected in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, but has yet to be charged in her killing.

All four women worked as online sex workers before they went missing between 2007 and 2010, according to People . Authorities previously stated that Heuermanns wife and two children werent in town at the time of these killings.

The skeletal remains, found along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach between December 2010 and April 2011, comprised at least 10 victims. While most were identified as female sex workers, one was an Asian man and another was a two-year-old girl.
