A Long Island architect who lived a secret life as the Gilgo Beach serial killer is being sentenced in the deaths of eight women. Rex Heuermann faces life in prison without the possibility of parole when he goes before a judge Wednesday in Riverhead, New York. Heuermann admitted in April that he strangled the women, many of them sex workers, and dismembered some of their bodies before dumping them on a desolate parkway not far from Long Island’s Gilgo Beach. Police began to suspect a possible serial killer in 2010 after discovering the remains of multiple victims along a remote beach parkway.
