Long Island architect pleads guilty to seven Gilgo Beach murders, admits an eighth

Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect, pleaded guilty to murdering seven women and admitted killing an eighth in the Gilgo Beach killings, ending a 17-year string of crimes that left families and investigators seeking closure. He faces life in prison with sentencing later, and the case—solved in part by DNA from a discarded pizza crust—has drawn national attention since the 2010 discovery of remains along Long Island’s South Shore.

Defense seeks six-month delay in Kirk shooting case to scrutinize weapon DNA

Attorneys for Tyler Robinson, accused of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, have asked a Utah judge to push the May preliminary hearing back six months to review DNA evidence on the weapon and related case files from the ATF. The defense says they have not yet access to the ATF case file or weapon protocols, while the FBI is conducting a secondary bullet analysis. They warn the review could determine whether the firearm evidence becomes exculpatory and note the discovery includes extensive digital materials (audio, video, data files) that will require hundreds of hours to process.

Investigators are continuing to analyze other evidence, pursue pacemaker tracking, and identify the Walmart backpack seen in video footage.
