All About Rex Heuermann’s Brother Craig Heuermann

Craig Heuermann (age: 57, born in 1966) is a Massapequa-born American citizen who currently resides in South Carolina. In 1986 he was in the news because of a car accident in which he killed a City Housing Polie Captain named Winnion Buskey.

These days Craig has again become a topic of talk due to his older brother Rex Heuermann whom the FBI recognizes as the Gilgo Beach Killer, aka Craiglist Ripper. In July 2023, Rex was arrested from his house in Massapequa Park after a thorough investigation that ran for years.

Numeorus evidence, including DNA prints on a partially eaten pizza, a burner phone, the Chevrolet Avalanche, and cellphone records, helped the investigators to ascertain that Rex was the one who killed numerous women and buried them in Gilgo Beach.

Reportedly Rex is responsible for the death of victims, including Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, and Megan Waterman, who were found buried at Gilgo Beach. He also killed the still-missing Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

Fatal Car Accident

Tragedy struck Craig Heuermann’s life in 1988 when he was involved in a devastating car accident. On February 28, at 9:30 in the morning, Heuermann’s car veered across the median and collided with the vehicle of Police Captain Winnion Buskey.

Unfortunately, Captain Buskey died in the accident, while Craig sustained minor facial injuries. Following the accident, Craig Heuermann was taken to a nearby hospital, where he recovered from his injuries. However, he was soon placed under police custody. Heuermann eventually pled guilty to charges of criminally negligent homicide and driving under the influence.

During his trial, evidence revealed that he had a blood alcohol level of .20, twice the legal limit, and a blood cocaine level of .05 milligrams. Presiding over the case, Judge Frank Rossetti asserted that Craig Heuermann should not have been driving and sentenced him to three years in prison. Heuermann was released on parole in 1990.
