Heuermann was arraigned on murder charges in Suffolk County Court this past July for the killings of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello. He's also the prime suspect in the disappearance and murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

Prosecutors are expected to announce a new grand jury indictment charging Heurmann with a fourth murder when he returns to court in Riverhead on Tuesday, Jan. 16, according to ABC News, which cited sources.

It's unclear if that new charge is connected to the Brainard-Barnes case.
