Gilgo Beach accused serial killer Rex Heuermann charged with 7th slay
Heuermann is now accused of killing Valerie Mack between Sept. 1 and Nov. 19, 2000. Mack's remains were discovered in 2011.
Accused Long Island Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has been charged with a seventh murder in a new indictment unsealed Tuesday.
Heuermann is now accused of killing Valerie Mack between Sept. 1 and Nov. 19, 2000, the superseding indictment released in Suffolk County Criminal Court says. Mack’s remains were discovered in the Gilgo Beach area in 2011.
Mack is the seventh woman Heuermann has been accused of killing since his arrest in July.
Mack was initially known as Jane Doe #6. Her torso was discovered in Manorville in 2000. Her head, hands and right foot were found near Gilgo Beach in 2011.
In 2010 and 2011, the bodies of 11 people were found on and near Gilgo Beach.
Cops said it was a Long Island pimp — and pizza crust DNA — that steered investigators toward Heuermann, a husband and father who had been living quietly in the Nassau County town of Massapequa Park and commuting to Manhattan, where he worked as an architect.
The pimp described the suspect’s vehicle to authorities, giving them details about a green Chevrolet Avalanche during a spring 2022 meeting with investigators.
Cops also retrieved DNA from a pizza crust found in a Manhattan trash can near Heuermann’s work office and matched it with a hair found on Waterman’s body.
Heuermann has been in custody since his arrest last July.
