Rex Heuermann pleads guilty to murdering eight women in the Gilgo Beach killings case
Long Island architect Rex Heuermann, 62, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to murdering eight women over a 17-year span in the long-unsolved Gilgo Beach killings case. The plea ends a case that began in earnest in 2010 when police found human remains along a remote beach highway on Long Island's South Shore. Heuermann was identified as a suspect in 2022 through DNA evidence and vehicle registration records connecting him to a pickup truck seen when one victim disappeared.
