Heuermann Charged With Seventh Long Island Killing

Rex Heuermann, the Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect, faces a seventh murder charge, this time for the 2000 killing of Valerie Mack, previously identified as Jane Doe #6. The charge stems from newly revealed forensic evidence, including DNA linking Heuermann to Mack’s remains and incriminating digital materials found in his possession. Heuermann pleaded not guilty, and his defense attorney plans to challenge the evidence and seek a change of venue, citing potential jury bias. The trial date remains pending, but further hearings are scheduled for February.
