A milestone in one of the most shocking and long-baffling cases in American true crime history is set to unfold as Rex Heuermann is scheduled to be sentenced in connection with the gruesome Gilgo Beach serial killings. For years, investigators struggled to crack the case of the 10 victims, whose remains were discovered along a desolate stretch of Long Island's Gilgo Beach in 2010. The victims, mostly sex workers and young women, were brutally murdered and dumped in a wooded area, sparking widespread outrage and a massive investigation. Now, after a lengthy trial, Heuermann, a 60-year-old Long Island engineer, faces a potential life sentence for his alleged role in the heinous crimes.
