00:00Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuerman has admitted that he strangled and dismembered
00:04eight young women and then dumped their remains along desolate stretches of coastline on Long
00:09Island. A pretty wild list of crimes to cop to, even more so considering he'd only been charged
00:14with seven of them. The former architect's guilty plea included an eighth murder that had not
00:18previously been linked to him. Prosecutors went down the list of victims, asking Heuerman how
00:23each one was killed, and he repeatedly answered, quote, strangulation. Prosecutors then announced
00:29that the serial killer would serve three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.
00:33Now, this plea deal also includes Heuerman working with the FBI to help them figure out what makes
00:39his sick mind tick, hopefully helping investigators solve similar crimes. Now, the mystery of the
00:45Gilgo Beach killer began way back in 1993, and he managed to evade capture for 30 years until his
00:51arrest in 2023. The details of the murders are grisly. Heuerman, who is an absolute beast of a
00:57man, six foot four, roughly 240 pounds, would make dates with these women, often using a burner phone.
01:03And it was on these dates that he would kill them in the basement of his own home, which he
01:07shared
01:08with his wife and children. Now, they claimed they had no idea what dad was doing in his spare time
01:12and
01:12were out of town during the timeline of the slayings. Now, despite his horrific acts, his family was in
01:18court to support him as he, get this, smirked before the judge. He'll formally be sentenced on June 17th.
