Accused Gilgo Beach murderer Rex Heuermann was also the architect of a wage theft scheme, new lawsuit claims
Not only is he an accused serial killer, Rex Heuermann is also a deadbeat boss, according to the state Department of Labor. It filed suit Tuesday to recover nearly $70,000 in back wages, penalties and interest for stiffing a former executive assistant.Heuermann, an architect, was arrested in July on evidence that he was behind a trio of murders of women he met near his firm’s Midtown Manhattan offices and allegedly killed close by his Long Island home. Heuermann paid more than $16,000 on the original claim before defaulting, resulting in the fresh lawsuit. Part of the new claim includes over $33,000 in penalties and another $9,454.56 in interest. His firm — RH Consultants & Associates — has been the subject of scrutiny since Heuermann became a suspect. Tax liens and other investigations into his business dealings have also been publicized. An account from one former employee in New York magazine recently also detailed a culture of high stress and “creepy” behavior on the part of Heuermann’s. (His daughter, Victoria Heuermann, was also employed at the firm in an unknown capacity.)
