Maureen Brainard-Barnes: The Gilgo Four Mother Heuermann Allegedly Targeted

Maureen Brainard-Barnes: The Gilgo Four Mother Heuermann Allegedly Targeted

Maureen Brainard-Barnes was a songwriter. An artist. A mother of two fighting to keep her kids. And on the night of July 9, 2007, she walked out of a Midtown Manhattan hotel to meet a client and never came home. She was 25 years old, four feet eleven, and desperate enough to take the train from Connecticut to the city because the eviction notice was real and the custody hearing was coming.

Episode 4 of "The Seven." Maureen was the first of the Gilgo Four to disappear and the last to be formally charged against Rex Heuermann. Her remains were found in December 2010 — wrapped in burlap, bound with leather belts, on Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach. DNA on one of those belts matched Heuermann's wife. Burner phone data traced back to his neighborhood. Prosecutors allege he checked Maureen's voicemail after she was gone.

Her daughter was seven when it happened. Her sister has waited over 16 years for accountability. This episode covers Maureen's life, what drove her to Manhattan, the cellphone evidence prosecutors built their case on, and the family that refused to let her be forgotten.
