Rex Heuermann Pleads Guilty to 7 Murders Admits Killing Another
Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect, pleaded guilty to murdering seven women and admitted to killing an eighth in connection with the Gilgo Beach killings, bringing an end to a long-unsolved case. He confessed to strangling all eight victims, dismembering some, and using burner phones to arrange meetings before disposing of their bodies. Heuermann will be sentenced to life in prison without parole in June, with his confession marking a significant development in the decade-long investigation.
