Suspicion is growing that alleged Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann may plead guilty to spare his family a lengthy trial. Alleged Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann has maintained his innocence since he was first arrested in July 2023 — but some are speculating that he will reverse course and plead guilty as soon as this week. But he is confident of one thing — even if Heuermann does plead guilty, there will be no plea bargain. The seven murders are “inextricably interwoven,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney, who is leading the prosecution against alleged Gilgo Beach killer Heuermann. Mazzei’s ruling to admit the nuclear DNA evidence in the Gilgo Beach killer trial, however, did seem to catch the defense off guard.
