Rex Heuermann, 62, pleaded guilty in Suffolk County Court to seven charged murders and publicly admitted to an eighth killing in the decades-long Gilgo Beach case â a series of slayings dating back to the early 1990s with remains found along Ocean Parkway and other Long Island locations â and prosecutors say vehicle-registration records, cellphone data and DNA from a discarded pizza crust helped identify him; he is expected to receive life in prison without parole. As part of his plea agreement he agreed to submit to clinical interviews with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit limited to the murders he admitted to, and must be "truthful, accurate and complete" in those sessions.
