    New York officials said investigators will provide new information on another victim in the Gilgo Beach murders and ask for the public's help on Monday.

    Information regarding "Asian Doe" will be released in a press conference, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. The office said the press conference will start at 10 a.m. and will be streamed live on the office's Instagram.

    Earlier this summer, Rex Heuermann, the man accused of killing "Gilgo Four," was charged in the deaths of two more women.

    Investigators believe that Heuermann's first victim was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a mother from Norwich. Heuermann was charged with Brainard-Barnes death six months after he was charged in the death of two other women. Brainard-Barnes went missing in 2007 and her remains were located about three years later.

    According to The Doe Network, the remains of "Asian Doe" were located in 2011 and the cause of death was determined as "homicide by a blow to the head." "Asian Doe" was believed to have been killed five to 10 years before their remains were located and they were believed to be between the ages of 17 and 23 when they were killed.
