Gilgo Beach Murders
Rex Pleading Guilty To 8 Slayings?!?
Published
Alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann is expected to be linked to an additional victim when he pleads guilty tomorrow to a series of brutal killings on Long Island … potentially running his body count to 8.
Heuermann is expected to plead guilty Wednesday to murdering Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor and Megan Waterman — and he might cop to an 8th murder too … according to a report Tuesday from NewsNation.
The identity of the 8th potential murder victim has not been released.
Heuermann was gearing up to go to trial in September on murder charges … but he’s now reportedly planning to cut a deal with prosecutors and plead guilty.
Law enforcement has so far found human remains of 11 different people between 1996 and 2011 near Gilgo Beach, New York … but the reopened investigation didn’t lead them to Heuermann until 2023, when he was arrested that summer.
