In a major development today, a suspect in the infamous Gilgo Beach serial murders has been charged with a fourth killing. The suspect, who was already facing first-degree murder charges in connection with the deaths of three women, now faces an additional charge of second-degree intent to kill murder of Maureen Baynard Barnes.
Barnes, a 25-year-old sex worker, was last seen in 2007 and her remains were discovered near Gilgo Beach, Long Island, close in proximity to the other victims. Law enforcement officials had long considered the suspect a prime suspect in her murder, given the circumstances surrounding the case.
