Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Suspect Did Work In Trump Building: Docs

Rex Heuermann's architecture firm did work inside the Trump Organization's 40 Wall St. during 2018, according to a filing.

NEW YORK CITY — Long Island serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann briefly worked inside one of former President Donald Trump's most recognizable building, according to city filings.

The Trump Organization adamantly denied that it ever hired Heuermann's architecture company for renovation of office space and plumbing changes within 40 Wall St. during 2018, according to a Department of Buildings filing first reported by TheRealDeal that features both companies' names.

A third party tenant that vacated years ago hired Heuermann's firm to perform minor architectural work in their space, said a Trump Organization spokesperson.

"Mr. Heuermann has never worked for The Trump ORganization (sic) in any capacity," the spokesperson said.

Heuermann was arrested last week in connection to the Gilgo Beach serial killings.

At least 11 sets of remains were found along Long Island's Ocean Parkway over a decade-long period, but Heuermann's recent arrest is tied specifically to the so-called "Gilgo Four," four women found wrapped in burlap in 2010.

Heuermann, a Long Island resident, had numerous ties to New York City through his Midtown architecture firm, RH Consultants and Associates.

The firm worked on buildings ranging from a two-bedroom on Central Park West to a Target in SoHo to a Brooklyn Burlington Coat Factory.

And it also appears that it worked inside one of Trump's most recognizable buildings: 40 Wall St.

The filing includes just two company names: RH Consultants and Associates and the Trump Organization.
