"Rex Heuermann, 62, pleaded guilty to killing and dismembering seven women over three decades, admitting in court to an eighth victim. He faces three consecutive life sentences."
"The murders began in 1993 and continued through 2010, with many victims' remains deposited near Gilgo Beach, a case that gained national attention after discoveries in 2010 and 2011."
"Investigators faced challenges for over a decade, including infighting and concerns from women's advocacy groups regarding the handling of cases involving sex workers."
"In 2022, a vehicle registered to Heuermann was linked to one of the killings, and DNA from an abandoned pizza box led to his arrest and subsequent charges."
