Rex Heuermann foi sentenciado na quarta-feira à prisão perpétua sem possibilidade de liberdade condicional pelos assassinatos em série de Gilgo Beach. O ex-arquiteto de 62 anos confessou ter assassinado oito mulheres entre 1993 e 2010.

Heuermann declarou-se culpado em abril de estrangular as vítimas, que trabalhavam como acompanhantes, e de esquartejar seus corpos. As vítimas incluíam Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack e Karen Vergata.

No tribunal, Heuermann disse ao juiz: "Sou responsável pelo que foi dito nesta sala hoje". O juiz Timothy Mazzei respondeu chamando-o de "homem nojento e insignificante" e de covarde.

Familiares das vítimas proferiram declarações de impacto, descrevendo anos de sofrimento e chamando Heuermann de um monstro maligno. Alguns observaram que se tornaram o "pior pesadelo" dele ao buscarem por justiça.

Heuermann foi preso em 2023 e estava detido na prisão de Riverhead. Ele cumprirá sua pena em uma prisão estadual e concordou em cooperar com o FBI.
