Rex Heuerman Finds Out His Fate

Just weeks after a judge said says Rex Heuerman  "will go to trial come hell or high water," the accused serial killer pleads guilty to all seven murders for which he's charged, and an additional murder. We learned details of what police found on Heuermann's phones.  Yes, multiple phones.  Rex Heuermann used a series of burner phones to lure sex workers, contacting them hundreds of times over two years, according to court documents. These "untraceable" phones, along with his personal phone, traced to a "tight cluster" of cell towers near his Massapequa Park home, linking him to the victims and taunting calls made to family members.  Police arrested the prominent New York architect in connection with murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes.  The 8th victim, 34-year-old Karen Vergata, was last heard from on Valentine's Day 1996. Her legs and feet were found the same year on Fire Island. Her skull was found fifteen years later near Tobay Beach in Nassau County.  The women's remains were found along Gilgo Beach in Long Island within 500 feet of each other.  The first four victims,  dubbed the Gilgo Four, were found wrapped in burlap.  Heuermann,  originally claimed his innocent.   Now he will spend the rest of his life in prison, sentenced to multiple life terms for his crimes    Joining Nancy Grace today: * Caryn Stark  -  Forensic Psychologist, renowned TV and Radio trauma expert and consultant, www.carynstark.com [http://www.carynstark.com/], Instagram: carynpsych, FB: Caryn Stark Private Practice * Mike Gould - Former Nassau County (NY) lieutenant and Founding member of the New York Police Department (NYPD) K-9 unit.
