TL;DR
Long Island architect Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven Gilgo Beach murders and disclosed an eighth, detailing how he lured victims, used burner phones, and disposed of remains along Gilgo Beach and nearby areas. He faces life without parole on first-degree counts and four additional terms of 25 years to life at sentencing on June 17; the case’s breakthrough came from DNA, vehicle and phone records, and a discarded pizza crust linking him to the victims.
