The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office confirms to News 12 that it is investigating a possible connection between Rex Heuermann and the disappearance of a South Carolina woman.

Julia Ann Bean was reported missing by her daughter in 2017.

Bean's daughter says she remembers seeing her mother with a man who matches the description of Heuermann, according to investigators.

The daughter also told investigators that the man was driving a truck that looked like Heuermann’s green Chevy Avalanche that was seized from the suspected Gilgo Beach killer’s South Carolina property in July.

Bean was last seen in Sumter, which is around an hour and 40 minutes from Heuermann’s property in Chester County.

The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office contacted the FBI regarding the case.
